Welfare and Religious
Farley Set Saturday

William A. Roberts. former peo-
pies counsel, yesterday called rep
resentatives of welfare and religious
organizations to a conference next
Saturday at 2:30 pm. at the Y.
w. c. A.
The session is to be held to con-
slider relief and welfare needs of the
District and to protest inadequate
appropriations of the District supply
bill.
Mr.. Roberts, who is chairman of
the Relief Committee of the Monday
Evening Club, said the bill approved
by the House April 6 contains a
number of provisions which will re-
suit in "a breakdown of all scientific
and humane standards of relief and
. welfare established over many
years." unless modified by Congress.
He pointed out the limit of $48 a
month made the maximum grant a
family can receive in relief regard
less OF the number of persons or the
nature of the services required by a
family.
This maximum is actually less
than the average now required in
some types of child care cases." he
said. Even the present limit of
$50 applicable to most types of re-
lief has been condemned as a bar
rier to the efficient and economical
administration of relief funds"
A large number of organizations,
Mr.. Roberts said, have pledged their
cooperation, and all interested
groups or individuals are invited to
be present, he said.

Big Ed stopped short. His face
grew livid. His eyes blazed with

Soundless words.

Victory Over
Associated Farmers

WASHINGTON.-( (FP) Ending of
the cotton pickers' strike in San Joa-
quin valley, Calf, was hailed as ga
kick in the pants" for the Associated
Farmers by Pres. Donald Henderson
of the United Cannery Agricultural
Packing and Allied Workers (CIO).
"For the first time in history" said
Henderson, cotton pickers really
brought the Associated Farmers and
their vigilantes to their knees"
The strike began in October when
pickers demanded $1.25 a hundred
pounds and the growers, backed by the
Associated Farmers, refused to pay
more than $.85 per hundred pounds.
Two agreements were reached at the
end of the strike, one of them a signed
contract with the Mineral King Farm
Association, made up of 13 growers,
calling for 81 per hundred pounds. The
other agreement, made orally, was
secured with e. c. VonGlahn who has
900 acres of cotton near Tulare,
Calf. Wages in the second agreement
were set at 81 per hundred pounds for
first picking and $1.25 per hundred
for second picking.
