LETTUCE DEAL
STRIKE MAY
BE SETTLED

SALINAS, Calf, Sept. l W.P)-
Striking lettuce workers were sum-
moned by their leaders to a mass
meeting today to discuss a proposal
for ending the strike which has
been spreading paralysis over the
largest shipping area in the United
States.
Five thousand workers were ex-
pected to assemble at the Salinas
Rodeo grounds to vote directly on
the peace plan.
Already accepted by the grow
ers, the proposal provided for tenn
porary recognition of the Vege-
table Workers Association, an AM
erican Federation of Labor affiliate,
and for arbitration of wage and
working conditions demands by the
Monterey County Industrial Rela-
tions Board. Findings the board
would be retroactive.
With the decision of the strike
leaders to submit the plan to a
vote, tension in the district eased
considerably. Strikers still protest.
ed, however, the employment of
armed private guards by growers
and shippers. Guards on one ranch
shot two strike pickets Thursday,
wounding them slightly.

valuation to the tax rate in the
general fund"
When put to the vote this res
olution as we'll as the S1.57 tax
rate was adopted by the follow
ing vote: Yes, Supervisors, Gra-
ham, Best Vencill and Preble with
Supervisor Osborne absent.
Lewis, SERA field agent for
Southern California had appeared
before the board early this morn
ing and with them discussed the
different problems which are now
facing the county and which must
be attended to with little delay.
The drastic need for stock
feed in the country within the next
few months was considered. The
board realized the necessity OF this
if the entire dairying industry OF
the county is not to be faced with
possible ruin. The board further
assured Lewis that they would CO.
operate in every way possible to
secure ample aid for the dairymen
OF the county. g.
Next came the unemployment
relief situation and it too was dis
cussed in deatil. 1t was following
this discussion that Lewis made
the suggestion of an added 10 cents
to the county tax rate to aid in
solving this problem.
In conference with Walter Carey,
county auditor it was pointed out
to the board that when the bud
get was approved last Thursday,
there was sum OF s261, ,095 to be
raised. Plus the 10 cent tax raise
which would necessitate S30,74
for relief, it is now necessary that
s299,S44 be raised. This will be
accomplished by the added appor-
tionment to the general fund tax.
In addition .087 was added in
order to spread the payment Of
both bonds and interest on district
road bonds Nos and through
out the county. These roads are
both county highways, one near
Westmorland, the other running
from Seeley. through Calexico to
Midway Wells.

NEW YORK. Sept. /. -Today'S

unchanged.
Bonds also were dull and the
dollar was steady.
Leading stocks were steady in
all divisions. Steel firmer. Rails
were mixed in a narrow range.
Silvers sold off after a sharp run
up in the late dealings yesterday
on initiation rumors. Utilities did
practically nothing ard the same

Major industries have expressed

Under the decision, if company

LOCAL WOMAN
H0N0RED At
MEXICO CITY

Friends of Mrs. Robert Hays,
who has been spending the summer
in Mexico City, have received ad-
vices that she is leaving for home
today, via West Coast of Mexico
line, and will reach California some
time during the coming week. Mrs.
Hays has been taking a post
graduate course in Spanish at the
National University in the capital
city. At the conclusion of the term
this week she was chosen to make
the address of appreciation, on be-
half of all the American students
attending the university to the re-
gents and the faculty
During this summer and last
summer, while studying at the uni
versity, Mrs. Hays had frequent op-
portunity to make number OF
trips to remote portions of Mexico,
seldom visited by Americans. Re-
Gently she was one of party, led
by professors of the university, who
journeyed to the recently discover
ed ruins of Militia, in the region OF
Oaxaca. This trip requiring about
a week IS time took the group into
extreme Southern Mexico, very
close to the ISthmus of Tehuan-
tepea, and almost to the Guatemala
frontier, and was one of spectacular
interest. Other trips have taken
the Ell Centre woman to almost
every part of Mexico which is ac-
cessible by rail or road, where she
has studied the. Mexican people,
their customs and their country.
Mrs. Hays plans short trip to
Vancouver before returning to Ell
Centro. She reported in frequent
letters received in this city that
there was no lack of moisture this
summer on the great eleveated
plateau of Mexico, on which is
situated Mexico City, but that it
rained every day and sometimes
all day, and that the drought which
afflicted the American continent
further north was not felt in the
southern republic, but that the
rains during the present rainy sea-
son have been, if anything more
copious than normal.

MYSTERY Gas
REVEALED IN
WASHINGTON

The possibility of California hav-
ing a new competitor in the oil and
natural gas industries is forecast by
the drilling of what is perhaps the
most interesting test well ever put
down anywhere in the United
States. The we'll is being sunk on
the north slope of the Rattlesnake
Range in Benton County, Washing
ton, not far from the city OF
Yakima.
According to information secured
by S. w. Dubbins, Washington
division lubricating engineer fof
General Petroleum Corporation.
marketers of General MobilgaS and
Mobiloil, and relayed to Don DaW-
son. Southern California division
manager of the company, geologists
have held, hitherto, that oil and
gas could not be found in basalt
covered territory like the Rattle
snake Hills. More than 20 years
ago, however, sheep herders digging
for water encountered gas by ac-
cident at a depth of 750 feet. No
commercial Importance was at
tached to the discovery and 1t was
not until 1929 that R. B. Newbern,
of Wichita, Kansas, organized the
Northwestern Natural Gas Corpo-
ration for its exploitation.
Fifteen Wells
Besides the deep level test well
now going down, which the COM
pany is prepared to drill to depth
of 5000 feet if necessary fifteen
shallow wells are already in opera
ton supplying gas to the towns OF
Grandview, Sunnyside, Prosser Zil-
lah, Toppenish and Granger. If
the present test well, now at l700
feet, proves up as big producer 1t
is possible that the gas ultimately
will be piped to Yakima, Walla
Walla, Portland, Spokane and
Seattle.
The field is unlike any other
known gas field in the world. The
entire area is overlaid with series
of basaltic flows, ranging in thick
ness from a few feet to more than
100 feet and reaching an average
depth of more than $500 feet. These
flows are interspersed with volcanic
ashes and sedimentary deposits.
The gas now being produced is
found in a very porous stratum OF
basalt and not in the layers be-
tween the basaltic flows. Geologists
think the gas flows from some deep
horizon up the line of a faulted
structure to where it encounters
the porous basalt, which serves as
a very large reservoir. The new
well is being sunk in an effort to
discover this mysterious gas source.

Restoration is a matter for diff
