HARVESTERS
D RIFT BACK
into FIELDS
Ultimatum Issued
Strikers, Crop
Held Up

NIPOMO, Calf, April Is.
(UP)-Scattered groups of
striking harvesters b e g a n
returning to pea fields to-
day as Sheriff Harry Has
kins of San Luis Obispo county
issued an ultimatum that the strik-
ers either return to work, face ar
rest for vagrancy or get out of the
county.
Nearly 500 pea pickers went out
on strike three days ago in an
attempt to get a wage increase.
Growers blamed the strike on a
Mexican labor contractor who they
said brought in more persons than
were needed to pick the current
crop by promising them higher
wages than the prevailing scale.
The strike remained orderly as
Sheriff Haskins swore in 100 depu-
ties to guard the fields and pickers
who remained at their jobs.
-Four men were arrested here,
however, on vagrancy charges.
They were Theodore King, Leon
ard Shelton, John Passau and Ro-
man Danti. A fifth man, Bert
Fisher, was taken in custody but
was released when he promised to
go to work.
Sheriff HaskinS' ultimatum that
the strikers either go to work or
to Jail was defended by District
Attorney M. r. Vanwormer who
declared the large crop would be
lost unless harvested at once. The
sheriff was authorized by growers
to offer pickers 80 cents a hamper
for picking peas. The previous rate
was 25 cents but the strikers are
demanding As and so cents a ham,

Trucks going to and from the
fields were guarded by State High
way patrol officers.

ed q three man emergency board
to investigate and report to him
within 80 days.
This would postpone an actual
strike for at least another 80 days
because under the national rail-
way labor act no strike could be
called for 80 days after the board
submits its report.
Those named to the emergency
board were DR.. Dexter Keezer,

Keller Explains
Financial Side of
Proposed Bonds

Taxes of the average home own
er IN Ell Centre will be increased
81 per year Or less if the library
bond issue of $4,000 is passed.
This is the statement of A. H. KEEL
ler' chairman of the library board
who offers the following figures
to answer some of the question
which have been raised in con-
nection with the bond issue next

obtained. The rent, even assum-
ing suitable quarters are available.
which they are not at the present
Time. would total about $2,4OO while
the average annual cost of repay
ment of bonds, with interest. is
estimated at $3.50. The library
books are valued at 100000 and
as insurance is higher in a busi-
ness building than in an isolated
library building, the insurance at
present is an additional expense
OF $3O0-400 annually.
Thus by cutting these items from
the budget, the cost of repayment
Is almost met by this saving, and
at the end of 90 years the city
would own the building instead
OF still paying rent
Even if this were not possible,
the additional tax rate of 21s cents
on the 500 valuation would amount
to Is cents on home valued at
$4,000 for tax purposes.
Furthermore, with rising costs
OF labor and building materials,
delay means higher cost of con-
struction.

Did You Know

Did You Know
Tombstone, relic of the days
when lead was law in Arizona, fur
nished a Five-Star Weekly writer
an interesting story few weeks
ago-and the story in turn turned
up the fact that at least one Ell
Centran was directly connected
with those gun-play days in the
border town, and another was in
directly connected with the hectic
events of the frontier.
The story of Captain MoSSman'S S
capture of Augustine Chacon, "hu-
man tiger" of the border. through
the help of Burt Alvord, stage and
train robber, stirred old memories
in the pate of Minor O. Simms, who
knows more about the story than
the chap who wrote it. Simms sat
on federal jury which tried Alvord
in 1902 for interfering with the
mails. This was after Alvord had
delivered Chacon into Captain
MoSsman's hands, and had been re-
paid by the dismissal of state
charges against him.
And by the way, Attorney Nave,
who later became Federal Judge
Nave. prosecuted Alvord. He-the
attorney, we mean. was school
mate Of Superior Judge R. D. Nc
Pherrin.
It's still hard for RR to realize
that those legendary days of six
gun law were participated in by
men who appear as young today
as Minor SimmS.

which have generously been placed at
my disposal. But it is only fair to say
that really had intended to land at

The fault is entirely mine.
When We first sighted the African
coast thick haze prevailed. My navi-
gator, Capt. Fred Noonan, indicated
that we should turn south. Had we
done so a few minutes would have
brought us to Dakar. But a left

and so miles of flying along the coast
