|. v. GROW ERS
APPROVE PLAN
TO BOOST CROP

A consumers advertising CAM
paign, destined to increase the con-
sumption of Arizona and California
lettuce throughout the nation, is
headed toward certain success, ac-.
cording to officials of the Western
Growers Protective Association ad-
vertising committee.
More than rs per cent of the
Arizona growers and shippers have
already signed into the organiza-
ton and Salinas growers have not
yet been contacted
Valley growers, Monday night,
favored the plan at meeting in
the Barbara Worth hotel.
C. B. Moore, secretary OF the as
sociation, was present at last nights
meeting. The plan was presented to
the group by Arthur Farlow of the
j. Walter Thompson company, ma
tional advertising concern. Bruce
Church and E. M. Seifert of the
association. also gave brief talks.
Signing of the Salinas growers,
which will begin Wednesday, should
boost the membership of the organi-
zation to 30 per cent.
A recent survey in the larger east
ern cities revealed, according to r.
Russell Paulson, of the j. Walter
Thompson company, that the main
objective of the campaign will be
to get lettuce users to consume
more lettuce rather than to get
more lettuce users.
Housewives throughout the nation
use lettuce sparingly in salads and
the object of the campaign, which
will be launched March Is, will be
to make housewives realize lettuce
should be the main part of the
dish rather than an accessory.

day to join forces III an
attempt to bring together
he thus far irreconcilable
Fansteel Metallurgical corporation
and representatives Of sit-doWn
strikers who have occupied two of
the company's North Chicago plants
for six days.
An informant close to conciliation
efforts said he expected the corpor-
alton and union would receive a
Joint invitation from Frances Per-
kins, U. S. Secretary of Labor, and
Governor Henry Horner to confer
on the dispute.
The conference, it was said, would
be between company officials and
striking members of the Amalga-
mated Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,
either with legal counsel for each
side or without any legal counsel
at all. Previously, the company had
rejected such an offer from Martin
P. Durkin, Illinois director of labor
on the ground that its legal counsel
was essential but that legal counsel
for the strikers would be tants-
mount to dealing with an outside
professional agitator."
Another condition would be ces-
sation of attempts to evict the sit
downers, who Friday repulsed
sheriff's men and police in tear
gas and acid battle.
