Board Agent

Cantaloupe shippers were
scheduled to meet Monday
night for a report from their
committee delegated to con-
fer with Maurice Howard,
representative Of the Labor Rela-

for a conference.
The committee was composed of
TCm Peppers OF BraWley, Walter
Farley Of CaleXico, and Charles
Freedman of Ell Centro
Howard sent kilograms to ship
pers throughout tie valley Satur-

him Monday. In his kilograms he
said the CIO complained because
cantaloupe shippers refused to meet
and bargain collectively with repre-

of your shed employees"
Shippers contend the packing of
cantaloupes does not come under
the Wagner act as they are not
processed. This, they contend, does
not make it mandatory for them
to meet with the CLIO.
