WASHINGTON, April 4. U.P) -
House and senate conferees on
the work-relief bill held their
fourth inconclusive meeting today
They reported that while prog
ress had been maze no definite
agreement on the final form of the
$4,000, 100000 measure had been
reached
The session was discouraging to
administration leaders who had
hoped that the conferees were near
a satisfactory adjustment.
1t was understood that house
and senate Democrats in the con-
ference, who have been warning
over the amendment requiring that
a third of the $900000,000 allocated
for loans and grants on self-liqui-
dating projects be spent for labor,
had settled some but not all Of
their differences.
The senate and house groups split
for a time to carry on separate
discussions. They came back to-
gether again but recessed in a
few minutes without setting a time
for reconvening.
Chairman Carter Glass of the
senate appropriations committee,
said he did not know when he
would call the conferees together
again.

SALINAS GETS
BACkF|RE Of
LOCAL STRIKE
Lettuce Deal Threatened With
Trouble AS Unions Charge
Men Brought From Here

WATSONVILLE, Calf, April 4.
U.P-The Salinas-Watsonville dis
trict largest lettuce-producing area
in the world, was seething fer
ment of labor unrest today as the
next probable battle-ground in the
war of the lettuce workers.
The quarrel carried through the
Imperial Valley and Salt River val
ley picking seasons appeared due
to break out here soon.
Two Salinas packing sheds and
one at Watsonville were reported
planning to open Friday with non
union labor. Leaders of the Fruit
and Vegetable Workers union, an
affiliate of the powerful American
Federation of labor, charged that
the packing shed owners had re-
fused to re-employ their old crews
and that men who worked as
strikebreakers in the Imperial VAL
ley were being imported to man the
sheds.
The sheriffs of San Benito and
Monterey counties denied they had
deputized large numbers of men
in anticipation of trouble.
James Sells, an official of the
union, however said that he had
seen "strikebreakers from the I'M
perial Valley wearing deputy sher-
iff stars on their Shirts" and that
he had been informed scores OF
men had been deputized. Joseph N
Casey, A. F.. of L. western repre-
sentative, made the same charge in
San Francisco yesterday.
About 20 sheds now are operat-
ing under an agreement which set.
tied strike last season. The agree
ment does not expire until Septem-
ber 1, during the last quarter oil
the long picking season.
Sells said that should the three
large sheds reopen with non-union
help Friday, his first move would
be to appeal to Governor Merriam
to order them to obey the media
ton board agreement and to direct
forfeiture of their licenses if they
refused.
Il am anxious to avoid a strike, -
Sells said. so are the other union
men,"
Sells didn't say so but it was ap-
parent a strike would be called if
appeals to state officials failed to
give the men what they believe
they are entitled to.

On HAY RATES

Pledging his fullest support to
obtain republication of the two
thirds emergency freight rate on
hay moving from Imperial Valley
to the drought stricken areas in
the middle west and Texas, Rep
resentative George Burnham to-
day telegraphed the chamber of
commerce that he has already TAX
en- up the subject with the secre-
tary of agriculture.
The transportation and rate
committee of the chamber, recent
ly telegraphed the secretary, urg-
ing republication of the rate which
has been in effect since last sum-
mer and which expires on April 80,
and also enlisted Burnham's aid.
Chamber officials state it is nee
essary for this rate to continue in
effect if Imperial Valley hay is to
move to midwest points. The re-
quest is supported by the Imperial
Valley Haygrowers' association, and
the farm bureau.
Emergency agricultural rates
such as this are established only

MEETING HERE
Hetzel To Head Motorcade For
Broadway OF America Con-
vention At Nashville

Led by Leo Hetzel, first vice
president of the Broadway of
America Association, a motorcade
will start from Ell Centro at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning on its
way to the annual convention OF
the organization in Nashville, Ten
nessee. From three to five San
Diego cars will leave the coast city
at 7:30 in the morning, and at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, Hetzel
will take command of the caravan
and lead it as far as Hot Springs,
Arkansas, where President R. A.
Jones of that city will assume COM
mand and bring the motorcade on
into Nashville where the convention
will be held on April IL and 10.
A number of matters of impor-
tance of Imperial Valley are to be
considered at the Nashville conven-
tiop. One is the selection of Ell
Centro as the 1886 convention city
which will bring several hundred
visitors to this city. Another mat
ter of paramount Importance is the
proposed rerouting of the highway
from Picacho through Casa Grande
and Gila Bend, with Phoenix as an
alternative route, which will great
ly shorten the distance from coast
to coast.
AT meetings held in San Diego,
presided over by HetZel, the matter
of continuing the Broadway of
America through San Diego to
Broadway, Long Beach and Broad
way, Los Angeles, was frequently
discussed, but it was tacitly agreed
that no such extension should be
made during the exposition year
The matter will undoubtedly come
up at later deliberation. Hetzel is
in line for the presidency during
the coming year and members OF
the Broadway of America Associa-
ton generally think that his election
at Nashville TO head this greatest
of all highway associations is as
Sured.
A. j. Mercier, director at large
of the Broadway of America ASso-
citation, who has attended past con-
ventions is unable to go to Nash
vile, but he will be in Ell Centro to-
morrow morning to greet the San
Diego end of the motorcade and
speed them on their way east.

Meeting with newspaper repre-
sentatives of the valley yesterday
afternoon, Jack Sterrett county
director for the SERA, outlined
plans for reorganizing the SERA
work here, to the end that greater
efficiency might be obtained in the
work of administering relief.
The meeting, called at Sterrett's
invitation, developed into a frank
and friendly discussion of the work
which the SERA has done and pro-
poses to do. Sterrett thanked the
newspapers for their cooperation
and criticism, stating that it has
always been his desire to keep the
public and the newspapers inform
ed fully on SERA operations and
that helpful and constructive critic
ism will always be welcomed and
considered.
I'VE must depend in great meas
ure on the public cooperation for
the success of the work." Sterrett
said. "If there are cases where the
relief administration is being abused
or imposed upon, we will be glad to
be notified, giving facts and in
formation, and will make an investi-
