non-existent and only scattered re-
ports were made of agitation in the
fields. In no case that could be def
initelv confirmed had field workers
actually walked off the job.
Shed workers who recently de-
clined to pass picket lines worked
at top speed alongside cowboy help
that profited by the walkout in OBJ
tanning permanent jobs. Mondays
shipments totaled 212, not quite up
to the seasonal high registered Sat-
urday.
Meanwhile, Phoenix started out
with three cars shipped Saturday.
The market broke somewhat to
S125 with few selling lower. The
outlook for Tuesday was about the
same with the valley expected to
ship between 200 and 225 cars to
similar market.
A new hearing between shippers
and CIO representatives relative
20 a counter proposal made last
week by the shippers failed to ma
terialize Monday afternoon when
Ted Rasmussen informed the ship
pers committee that he would be
unable to attend. Another date prob
| ably will be set for later in the
| week. The counter-propoSal an
sWered RasmuSsen's original de-
mands for signed contract which
eliminated the split bench and en-
forced a union shop.
So far the shippers have remain
ed adamant against the demands.
Rasmussen could not be reached
Tuesday to learn what, if any, are
the unions plans. Chief activity
appeared to center on NLRB nego-
tiations between unions and ship
pers. Walter Spreckels, regional
NLRB director, was in Ell Centre to
take personal charge.
Although the NLRB men may
investigate and possibly arrange
some consent elections" to deter
mine bargaining agents, it did not
appear likely that they would have
success in majority of the sheds.
This will mean the necessity for
considerable delay in calling special
elections among the shed workers.
The NLRB representatives are
not empowered to act as mediators
between shippers and unions and
therefore are mora concerned with
the jurisdictional dispute between
CfO and A. F.. of L. for control of
Cne sheds.
Rumors that the lettuce strike
in Imperial valley had spread to
Yuma proved groundless Tuesday.
A check showed no sheds in the
Yuma -Somerton area had been
picketed, although rumors were
rife.
Salt River Valleys entrance into
the lettuce picture ahead OF sched-
ule was explained as due to abnor-
mally abundant rains and warm
weather.
J. NJ. Foote, state supervisor of the
Fruit and Vegetable STANDARDIZED
ton Service, said the Salt River
lettuce harvest would involve about
$1,000 acres.

With the Churches

st. Thomas Notes: Solemn High
Requiem Mass was held Wednes-
day, August 2, for one of our most
beloved youngsters, Walter Young,
who was the victim of drowning
tragedy early last week. Walter
will be fondly remembered by all
who were privileged to know him.
He served as an example to the
other boys of the Order of st. Vim
cents, more commonly known as
/Acolytes, by his steadfast and
faithful church attendance. That,
in itself, is truly remarkable for
one so young and at the age when
boys are apt to forgo going to
church for other activities. His
very reverence with which he de-
voted himself to church service en-
deared him to everyone. Walters
many friends of st. Thomas Church
render their deepest and most
heartfelt condolences to his be-
reaved family. Holy Com
munion was celebrated last Sun
day at High Mass at II a. m. Visi-
tors who joined in worshipping
with us were Mrs. M. E. Bailey
and Mrs. Gorden, of Omaha, Nebr,
We're happy to learn that Mr..
Arthur White is much improved
and was able to return to his home
