FLORIDA CITRUS
PICKERS STRIKE
By a Worker Correspondent

WINIERHAVEN, Fla.-The Florida
citrus exchange was shut down on Dec. II
by strike. The pickers struck because
the exchange cut their price from - CENTS
to 10 cents box. This was on trees From
Is to 80 feet high.
The fruit is frozen and falling off the
trees, and the bosses want to take advanf-
age OF this condition and get all the fruit
they can before the health department
shuts them down, because fruit that has
been frozen is poisoned.
The strike is going fine and we will try
and keep it going to victory. There is
also more discomfort among the small far
mers because all of them have been frozen
out. The sharecroppers have had all their
Strawberries and vegetables frozen. They
cannot get any loans from the AAA. ss
they have to have security. And the share-
choppers have no security and nothing to
eat, and are getting $40 per week, With
families OF from six to nine to take care
OF. Things are getting serious down here.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. Just before

roosevelt states again his determined op-
position to the payment of back wages to

mileage We figured at 5 cents per
mile or $1,860, while in fact the
case workers are allotted a mileage
OF Z cents per mile.
The state relief administration
and the Plentywood Herald have
to do better in order to convince
the farmers that there is no waste
of public funds in the administra-
ton of relief in Sheridan county.
1t certainly won't do to give fig
ures so extremely low that they
appear ridiculous. Such figures
are not convincing.
So Per Cent Is Ridiculous
Without giving any detailed fig
ures. the Herald states that "dur-
ing the month of November the ad-
ninistration expense for Sheridan
county was Sc per cent" If any
one should scrutinize this figure
just a little, he will find that Sc
per cent of $4,000 (the amount
of relief distributed in November)
Is $1,120. It is ridiculous to try
to tell the people that out of 81, 12O
thirty-two people can be paid a
monthly salary, mileage and other
Incidental expenses.
That won't do, decidedly not!
And the Herald better write again
to Helena for figures that sound a
little more plausible.

 New Payroll Not Available

Transfer of the EZRA workmen to the WPA, remaining at 200 in Waterbury today, will be hastened under 8 new executive order issued by Miss Eleanor H. Little, state EZRA administrator. Close to 700 wofkmen still remain on the EZRA payroll here as the WPA inaugu- rates 8 determined drive to put thousands to work throughout the state before November II.
 The new order follows 8 confer ence between Miss Little and Charles E. Beardsley, Waterbury man re- gently appointed assistant WPA administrator for the state. Due to the absence from the city of Will liam M. Harris, local EZRA execu- tive, complete details of the new payroll Set-up could not be learned today. Informed sources however, said that under the new system, WPA will accept records of men em- ployed at 8 given time as final and accurate and make the transfer on that basis.
 Speeds-up Transfers
 While 1t may leave some of the EZRA employees temporarily with out work, it will considerably speed up the transfers. The move was authorized by State Administrator Matthew A. Daly after an order from Washington requiring the em- ployment of 15,000 men on WPA payrolls by November Il. It is ex- pected that 10000 men will be at
