NEW YORK. May 31.-The l-cent
milk program for children which the
District of Columbia Board of Edu-
cation is seeking for Washington is
| available here to $4,000 children
boys and girls in 426 public schools,
As Catholic parochial schools. He
brew schools. Sc day nurseries. %
settlement houses and 26 children S
homes. For penny they each
may buy daily a glass-half pint
of milk that costs almost 2 cents.
A Federal Government subsidy
makes the low price possible.
New York was chosen by the Fed
eral Government as the proving
ground for the experiment in the
1-cent program. and it has been
great success. 1t was launched here
modestly last October IA on an eX-
perimental basis in as schools. BY
the end of November 1913 schools
were participating. On May II the
program was extended beyond the
public school system. During the
week which ended May the chill
dren consumed 9.247000 half pints
of milk. More than half the 7l2
public schools in New York are in
the program.
La Guardia Saw Possibilities.
The 1-cent program. was an
nounced last September % by Act
ing Secretary of Agriculture Apple
by, who defined its purpose "as
direct contribution toward improv-
ing the health defense OF future
America. while it also holsters the
income of dairy farmers The
Federal agency which oversees the
program is the Surplus Marketing
Administra ton, division OF the
Agriculture Department.. 1t has
funds appropriated by Congress
with which to pay subsidies to dali
ries in order to make possible the
distribution of milk at low prices
to low-income consumers.
Mavor LaGuardia quickly saw
the possibilities of the one-cent pro-
gram for New York At his sugges-
ton. the city's Department OF Ed
ucation sought the programs in
PRODUCTION through the New YORK
Metropolitan Milk Marketing Ad-
ministrator, N. j. Cladakls.
The cost to the city has been nil.
Mr.. Cladakis' Office lets bids to
diaries for the milk's delivery to
the various schools involved and
his office pays the subsidies to the
diaries.
The amount of the subsidies dis
tributed from october IA. 1910,
through February %, 1941. was
$2O4, 52346.
Fits Needs of Schools.
The government of New York
City gives assurance that the milk
will be properly handled and dis
tributed in the schools. That is the
whole extent of municipal respon-
sibility in the matter. The program
has been individualized to fit the
needs of each school, and a sep
arate milk-delivery contract is
made for each school. In the con-
tract the dairy agrees to deliver at
whatever hour the school wants to
distribute the milk.
The contract also requires the
dairy to furnish ice for the milk.
The milk is consumed in cafete-
rias where the schools have cafe
terias. Otherwise. it is consumed In
the classrooms. Some teachers use
milk-drinking as part of their class
work. They find it has valuable ap-
plication for practical problems in
arithmetic. Children compete for
the privilege of acting as the milk
man" for the classroom.
The first question considered In
introducing the program Is: What

Wage Strike Hits
Salinas Lettuce,
Slows Down Sheds

SALINAS, Cal. May 7. CUP)--
Lettuce packing in six sheds of
the Salinas Watsonville area was
curtailed today by walkout of 300
workers who demanded 10 per cent
an hour wage increase.
A workers committee at the Tracy
-Waldron shed issued a statement
declaring they were not led by any
union land if we hear of any Reds
or Communists in our group, we'll
kick them out"
The Salinas -Watsonville Grower
Shipper Vegetable association of
Central California had voluntarily
granted all lettuce workers a five
cent hourly increase on Monday.
I'VE feel we're entitled to a ten
cent raise" the workers statement
said. 1--WE would like to meet the
shippers labor committee and bar
gain with it. Why can't we have
sufficient increase to compare with
the raise in our living costs?'
The committee said those striking

day evening at 79o Main street,
the Labor Temple, to discuss the
subject and shippers and growers
will confer later in the week.
Initiative was taken several weeks
ago by the Fruit and vegetable
Packers and Warelousemen's local
union, 76O, AF.ofL., and represen-
tatives submitted the proposal to a
committee representing growers
The contract which the union asked
growers to accept called for vir-
tually a union shop.
Key shippers as well as union
sources made it clear Wednesday
that no contract has been signed,
that the unions proposal is only
in the stage of being submitted.
Authoritative sources predicted
that the proposal would be unac-
ceptable to a majority of growers.
Handbills were posted, meanwhile,
calling attention to the union meet
ing and announcing:
Sc. The committee will submit
to you proposed melon contract
that has been negotiated between
the labor committee of the shippers
and the union committee of local
760 :"
Some shippers took exception to
the wording, claiming an inference
that contract had been consul
mated. Union sources, on the other
hand, readily agreed that the con-
tract had not been signed and was
only being submitted to both sides.
SHIPPERS COMMITTEE
Representing the growers and
shippers in conference with the
union was a committee of Fred
Bright, chairman, of Ell Centre, l..
c. Hausmann of Brawley, Tony Are
ma Of Brawley. William Bailey of
Brawley and Alex Engelman of El
Centro. Chief union representative
was j. J. Steiner of Seattle.
II was reliably reported that
since termination OF union shipper
negotiations, union activity has been
noticeable among workers in the
boX-making concerns and among
truck drivers. 1t was also reported
