Inland Empire Farmers Attend TO Ihof
Late Trip Over Chinook Is Revealing

tanned for peaches and pears
and other eannery fruit put the
growers in a good humor. Ap-
pies are moving at prices tnat
also will leave something for the
grower after he has paid off the
loans required to finance the
crop.
An important factor in the
generally improved situation IS
the new policy that seems to
have been adopted by the feder-
al farm financing agencies.
Heretofore the policy has been
to give the producers as little
financial aid az possible. In a
great many cases this was like
being stingy with the water TO
prime the pump. It just drib-
bled in and then the pump
would wheeze a few times and
it was all over. and the big
worry was how that government
was going to get the money
back.
This year those growers who
needed financial assistance
have been given enough to see
the operations through from
the first spraying to harvesting
the crop. The effect has been
an uplift spiritually and socially
as well rs economically. This
applies particularly to the APP
pie industry but federal coopera-
ton also has been given In other
farm industries.
The only sour note relates to
the shortage of harvest labor.
Too much fruit is rotting on the
ground because We have not yet
solved the problem of labor dis
tribution. Migratory workers
camps have helped but did not
fully meet the requirements.
In the wheat growing areas
the warehouses are bulging. Be-
cause of federal cooperation the
growers are able to hold the
product until the market re-
quires 1t. In the Walla Walla
country, pioneer wheat growing
area of the Northwest, condi-
tons generally are better than
they have been for several
years.
Notices able on the trip
through the East Side is the
number of young horses. Stimu-
lated by the army requirements,
horse breeding, once a profitable
industry, seems to be coming
back.
Beef cattle and sheep in from
the summer ranges are in good
condition. There is plenty of
feed to finish off the market
stock and carry the breeders
and young stock through the
winter. Feed lis going up but
so is the livestock market.
On the live stock side it looks
as If the opportunities in the
hog market are being overlook
ed. Everything indicates that
there will be a heavy demand
for bacon, hams and other pork
products On a recent three day
drive through the East Side,
farms with few pigs were few
and far between.
The picture as whole indi-
Gates that the farming areas
are going to share in the BUSH
ness uplift that follows defense
spending. In that respect
farmers are In a more favorable
position than the small manu-
featuring and industrial centers
that do not share in large scale

Dining Car
Men Receive
$9O,8OO Increase

Findings of the Presidents rail-
road emergency board December 2,
which granted increased pay to
railroad workers retroactive pay
from September 1, will increase the
yearly pay of members of Local
Sic Dining Car Employees Union.
500, 300 it was revealed last week
by general chairman Maceo v.
Littlejohn.
A standard basic increase of pay
of 10 cents per hour was added
to the present wage schedule.
Vacations with pay have not been
granted to dining car employees
because the STANDBY Agreements
existing between the Carriers and
Local Unions included only the
question of rates Of pay.
Local SIC will Immediately pre-
sent to the Carriers with whom it
has contracts, Great Northern,
Northern Pacific, Omaha and 500
Line, proposals for vacations with
pay.
Local SIG has materially estab-
lished economic security for its
members in the northwest, and its
membership is now 233 with a
potential membership Of $50.
The Board on November 5, rec
commended nine (9c) per hour or
thirteen and one half per cent
(13hT6) increase in the basic rates
of pay of the fourteen cooperating
Standard Railway Organizations,
and Dining Car Employees through
Local Sic, and other Local Unions
affiliated through the Joint Coun-
ell with the Hotel and Restaurant
Employees International Alliance,
were included with this group.
The Board further recommended
that the basic rate of pay for all
employees in this group should be
established at forty five cents (45c)
per hour.
It should be understood that pre-
vious to this recommendation the
average rate of pay for dining car
employees, with the exception to
those employed in an in-charge
capacity, was established at 31Ac
per hour, and this rate was sub
jected to deduction for the reason
able cost of Board and lodging Gus
tomarily furnished the employees
by the Carrier, which deduction de-
feated the increased rates of pay
granted certain classes of Railway
Employees, including dining car en-
ployees which was ordered to be
36c per hour from March /, 1871.
