Of New Violence
Growers, Packers Battle
Over Apricot Price
Demanded by Farmers

SAN JOSE, July 10. (UP)
Major Santa Clara apricot
canneries delayed opening of
full-time operations today,
apparently as the result of
a price dispute between growers and
packers which has produced spor-
adic violence.
Deputy sheriffs were instructed
to convoy apricot trucks to Gamer
les as a safeguard against possible
trouble when such plants as Libby
Mcneil & Libby and the Schuckle
cannery at Sunnyvale start large
scale operations later today.
Most canneries were expected to
start the seasons packing this
morning, but the largest of them
announced they were delaying the
opening until this afternoon, thus
easing temporarily the tension Gre
ated over numerous acts of sabot-
age in the Santa Clara and San

witness stano was limited to saying
he was not a Communist and that
he was an alien.

WASHINGTON, July 10.
(UP)-Rep. Adolph SABBATH,
D., ILL.,, today introduced a
bill to increase hourly wages
Of skilled relief workers as
demanded by more than 100000
WPA strikers.
Sabaths bill would eliminate pro-
visions of the 1910 relief act which
terminated the prevailing wage
policy and substituted a system of
security wages. The new system in
many cases required skilled men to
work twice as long for the same
wages they formerly received. Skill
workers suspended work on thous-
ands of projects in protest.
The American Federation of La
Dor and Congress of Industrial On
ganizations are marshaling their
forces to try to compel congress
to restore the policy of paying pre-
vailing wages-that is, to pay the
same hourly wages on WPA that
private industry pays.
Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., NY,
supported by Sen. James F. Murray,
D, Mont, is expected to introduce
in the senate a bill similar to Sa-
baths.
