GROCERY STRIKE
IN SECOND DAY
Drivers and Warehouse Men
Remain at Work De-

The Sanitary Grocery Co. strike OF
clerks and butchers entered its Sec
ond day this morning with just as
great numerical strength as it had
yesterday-1,3O0 workers
However, despite statement that
warehousemen and truck drivers for
the company would join the clerks
and butchers, trucks were loaded and
driven away from the Sanitary ware
house this morning at Otis and Fen
wick streets NE.
On the heels of a short meeting last
night In Pythian Temple attended by
800 of the strikers, John Keane, at
torney for the Retail Clerks Protec-
tive Association, eXhorted group of
100 this morning to request every
truck driver hauling goods to Sani-
tary stores to respect the picket lines
in front of the stores.
Meanwhile, 80 drivers for L. S.
Briggs Co., which supplies Sanitary
with meats, struck for wage of $3.50
. week.
No peace negotiations have been
opened, it was reported, which would
lead to approval by Sanitary of the
collective bargaining contract pre-
sented to the firm by the clerks and
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of North America
two weeks ago Thursday, the night the
strike was voted.
How many stores are open and how
much business they are doing are
questions neither the strikers nor the
company is able to answer. Picketing
is for the most part peaceful, with po-
lice answering an occasional call
amounting to little.
The strike leaders are determined to
fight to the end Keane told the men
they could demand the insertion in the
collective bargaining contract of a
retroactive wage clause.
The contract asks 51-hour week, a
base weekly pay of s2l, time and one
half for overtime and seniority OBJ

The Sanitary strike in Richmond,
Va, continued with about $50 of 300
employees out.

FARM BILL HOPES

DJ inc hSSOcldted PreSS. .t7
Controversies over methods of cron
control and its financing dimmed to-
day the prospects for speedy enact-
ment of farm legislation at the special
session of Congress.
The House Agriculture Committee
agreed informally yesterday to discard
demands for arbitrary marketing
quotas for wheat. cotton and rice
which farmers could approve or reject.
1t tacitly approved quotas for tobacco,
but deferred a decision on corn.
Secretary Wallace sent three high
A. A. A. officials to the committee to-
day to insist on compulsory control
Of corn.
Claude w. Wickard, director of the
North Central region of the A. A. A..
said such control was much more
necessary for corn" than any of the
other basic commodities. Other repre-
sentatives of Wallace were I. w. Dug
gan, acting director for the Southern
division of the A. A. A., and Robert
Shields, A. A. A. attorney.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat. of
Alabama said, however, he would try
TO write compulsory acreage control
provision for cotton into the farm bill
when it reached the Senate. 70!
In the face of presidential demands
that Congress provide additional tax
revenue to finance the new program.
the House committee shunted to the
House Ways and Means Committee the
responsibility for finding about $780,

voluntary Mode Preferred.
Some farm members in the House
contended the Presidents wishes could
be carried out most expeditiously by
combining authorization for increased
benefits with tax bill Chairman
Jones said, however, the Agriculture
Committee decided it would be better
from a practical and legal viewpoint"
to follow the usual procedure of sepa-
rating the legislation.
In taking that action, Jones and
his colleagues abandoned processing
taxes as a revenue source-taxes

One member said the bill NOW

Of that program. as far as wheat, cot

Agriculture Department officials ex--
pressed concern over the committees
rejection Of processing taxes. They
contended voluntary control would
not work without sufficient subsidies
to make it more profitable for farmers
to comply with the program than to
ignore it.
There appeared to be a disposition
among Senators interested in the leg
islation to let the House work out a
program before the Senate considers
it. The Senate Agriculture Committee
has not met to consider bill. ="
