that has affected so far a total of
19 sheds, lettuce shipments Thurs
day totaled 200 cars and were ex-
pected to reach that figure again
Friday.
Attorney Harry Kaplan of the
Los Angeles firm of Gallagher, Wir-
in and Johnson, acting for the Fruit
and Vegetable Packers union No.
78 of CIO, appeared in superior
court at 10 am. Friday, asked and
received a continuance until 9 am.
Saturday of a hearing in regard to
an injunction aimed at picket
line on the Alex E. Engleman shed
in Ell Centro.
The injunction was obtained this
week by the Teamsters union, A.
F. of L. on behalf of two of it's
members.
The hearing, originally scheduled
before Judge Vaughn Thompson
who granted the temporary re-
straining orders, was moved over
to Judge R. D. McPherrin's court
on Kaplan's request.
Asked to comment on rumors that
other members of his firm might
come to Ell Centro in connection
with hearings on the three restrain
ing orders that have so far been
issued against the CIO union, Kap-
Ian said he did not know but indi-
Gated it was possible. Both A. l..
Wirin and Grover johnson have
been legal principals in previous
lettuce controversy.
Latest injunction to be issued
was another by the Teamsters union
against a picket line at the J. P.
Carter shed in Calexico. The COM
plant, signed by F.. c. Mccall and
George Lambert, members of the
Fruit and vegetable Packers and
Warehousemen'S union, A. F. of L.
charged that no vote had been ask
ed or taken among the shed crew
before the picket line was thrown
up. Damages of $3.50 in lost wages
were asked.
The injunction was served and
crews were back at work Friday ON

Four more sheds, one in Brawley
and three in Ell Centre, had picketS
outside Friday. AT the Martin Wahi
shed, pickets banners claimed the

angle of attack, for at the Wahl
shed the CIO had not been desig-
mated as bargaining agent. Wahl
declared he would go ahead with
cowboy crew as soon as possible.
He said that he had been accused
of handling "hot" lettuce previous

shed, now picketed Wahl declared
emphatically that this charge was

day, unannounced at the Jack Bros.
shed in Brawley although the crew

were undecided as to the next STEP

Ford BaIks When
v'tPuts Labor
Clause in Defense
Company Will Not Take
Contracts Binding 1t
To UriOn Policies

DETROIT, Jan. 81. CUP
The decision of the Ford
Motor company to accept no
national defense contracts
binding it to observe all fed
eral and state labor laws, was seen
today as closing Its huge factories
to orders placed directly by the ma
tional defense commission.
A Ford Motor company spokes-
man indicated that the decision was
irrevocable. The alternative to a
change of attitude by the company,
would be one by the defense COM
mission and other government agen-
cieS. Sidney Hillman, associate dir
ector of the new office of produc-
ton management, and labor defense
chief, was seen to have won hard
fought victory in the decision to
include the labor clause in defense
contracts and in Washington it
was believed it might be there to
stay.
The company already has two
defense orderS-one for midget
army trucks, another for airplane
motors-which did not include the
labor clause. The company also is
planning to produce sub assemblies
for four motored bombers, but pre-
sumably, it would be working as a
sub-contractor and would not have
to accept the labor clause.
The newest brush between the
company and a government agency
recalled that in New Haven, Conn.,,
