problems created by labor
disputes is contained in a
proposed initiative measure
backed by the Associated
Farmers of California, the South

Thousands, sponsors said Tuesday.
The proposed measure is designed
to regulate picketing and boycott

prevent interference with the law

Wharves during labor arguments.
In the section dealing with pick

lawful to use force or intimidation
to induce anyone to join or not

pickets is limited and the type of
signs they carry regulated.
1t eliminates the "hot cargo
practice from labor disputes and
prohibits seizure and detention of
property for the purpose of compel

of labor organizations. Hot cargo"
