Agriculture must be accorded
equal recognition with industry and
labor and be properly represented
or all national defense agencies
by persons who are familiar with
agricultural problems and who have
the approval of national farm or
ganizations.
1t said national safety demands
that immediate action be taken TO

luOuS oil IllSllJ SeSSlOIl.
Barring remote possibility of re-
consideration, the statute, outlaw
ing secondary picketing and refusal
to handle so-called "hot cargo"
from struck or allegedly unfair
plants, will become effective 90 days
after the legislatures adjournment.
To meet lower house objections
it was amended to apply only for
duration of the present national
emergency.
Organized labor representatives
charged the bill was a "travesty
on justice" They threatened court
action to test it's constitutionality
and indicated they also might at
tempt to block it by referendum.
Speaker Garland nailed passage
as "a step toward permanent peace
between labor and capital in Cali
fornia."
The bill, the legislatures No. l
labor issue, was vetoed by governor
Olson as unconstitutional class leg
iSlation."
The senate, however, overrode the
veto 33 to on May &c.
The bill was authored by Sem
ators Frank Gordon of Suisun, Will
liam Rich of Marysville and Ray
Hays of Fresno. 1t climaxed years
of labor controversy that crippled
California's industry and agricul-
ture.
Gordon, Rich and Hays said the
bill would remedy this situation
and keep defense goods moving.
c. j. Haggerty, president of the
California State Federation of La
Dor, said he would call a meeting
of union officials to discuss what
action to take against the measure.
Much oratory and propaganda
has been directed TO defeat ana
passage, respectively, of this bill
Garland said. THE fact remains,
that, stripped of political verbiage,
the measure is wise and conSid-
cred instrument of compromise,
which should go far toward avert
ing development of causes for dis
pute between employer and en-
ploye.
g. =. the hot cargo and second
airy boycott, through misuse and
pu lie misunderstanding, have
brought upon organized labor such
criticism as to evoke a wave Of
public opinion which seriously
threatens to rob union labor OF
many OF its recent gains"
The senate previously had voted
to override the governor, so the
assembly decision virtually enacted
the bill.

In Home Defense
|. V. Officials Puzzled
AS Separate Groups
Compete for Help

Defense became something
of a bewildering headache in
Imperial county Friday.
City and county authorit-
les appeared anxious to CO.
operate in forming civilian. defense
organizations, but the pressing ques-
ton was which defense group to
ioin?
On the heels of formation of one
civilian defense setup came sug-
gestion for another distinct organ.
ization, specifically for civilian air.

Pending before the county su-
pervisors and city boards was
memorandum from Sam c. MAJ,
executive vice-chalrman of the
State Council for Defense (recently
appointed by Governor OlsonD
which suggested ordinances Great
ing aircraft warning crews. made
up Of volunteer workers.
At the same time, however, an
other defense organization was In
the process of forming under I'm
perial Sheriff Robert w. Ware, head
of the program in five southern
counties. This plan, reported faith
cred by Attorney General Earl War
rem some time ago, was billed as
organizing representatives of all
businesses and professions into an
emergency corps.
Supervisors and El Centre city
councilmen shelved the new defense
council request pending conferences
between the district attorney and
city attorneys and the state con-
vention of district attorneys at Ia
hoe, June II. At the convention,
attorneys were expected to thresh
out workable combination of the
two programs.
