Damage Suits Filed

damage suits totaling $4,000 against
the Ford Motor Co., have been filed
by two former organizers of the I'm
tied Automobile Workers (CIO) who
were beaten by thugs at the COM
panys Dallas plant in 1887. The two
men, now officers of the JAW (AFL)
are Baron De. Louis and L. E. Gum

Testifying at the NLRB hearings
in Dallas last February, De Louis

as the leader of gang of men with
company badges who beat him up
in a local drug store.
A few weeks later while De Louis
was driving home with another or

attacked the car and bludgeoned its
occupants with a cable or rubber

PECAN SHELTERS
GET So A Week,
WPA FINDS

| WASHINGTON. = (FP) Average
wages of 1901 for week of 81 hours
were found by the WPA to be the
rule for pecan shelters in San An
tonic, Texas, in study published here
recently
| The future of the pecan shelters
says the study, depends upon whether
the wage-hour act is enforced in the
| industry.
'If the law is evaded," the study
says, "the pecan Smelling industry will
undoubtedly regress toward its former
status as handwork industry with
extensive employment during certain
seasons but wages far lower than a
dollar per day"
If the wage-hour law is enforced,
it asserts, the operators will resort to
mechanical methods and the workers
in the pecan Smelling industry will be
left without jobs and have to resort
to public relief.
The average weekly income, it was
found, for individuals in pecan work
was $2.73, which was even lower than
the average weekly income for agri-
cultural work of $3.50. Combining all
jobs reported by pecan shelters fami-
lies, the average income per worker
was $301 week for an average work
week of 81 hours.
Results of these low wages, says the
study, are to be found in "overcrowded
housing conditions, poor health, low
educational level, and social disorgan-
ization.
Crowded into old shanties with an
average of more than two persons to
the room, three-fourths of the pecan
