Imperial Irrigation dis
trict's coming elections mar
rowed down to a dog-fight
in the northend and a man to
man scrap in the Holtville
division Saturday as late filers turn
ed in their petitions to district head
quarters.
With only Monday and Tuesday
left for filing petitions, these were
the ones who had filed:
In the Calipatria division, Charles
Guest, C. Roy Thompson, r. M.
Chapman and Joe Bailey. Petitions
we're out but not filed yet for Frank
Grubel and w. " Cohee.
In the Holtville division: Mark
Rose and Claude Shaw.
In the CaleXico division: Evan
Hewes.
Winter book" forecasts gave at
tractiVe odds on victory for Shaw.
From the long list of names on his
petition and the evident activity of
his campaign hackers, the Holtville
mayor will run powerful race
against the veteran director If he
wins, it will mean the end of more
than 20 years in continuous office
for Mark Rose.
Rose was first appointed to the
board to fill an uneXpired term
and ran his first race in 1921. He
had scarcely any opposition at any
election up until four years ago
when Ollie Stewart trailed him by
approximately 100 votes.
The Calipatria race was wide

expected in an hour or two. and
the searching planes roared away
from McChCrd and Gray fields as
fast as possible to take advantage
of every minute of early good wea-
ther.
CCC youths from a camp near
Bonneville went out to search the
vicinity Of a huge slide in the rug
ged Columbia river gorge that some
believed might have been started
il the plane crashed into the hills.
Roy Hustad, diesel power shovel
operator working near Bonneville
reported hearing loud crash from
a nearby bluff and seeing trees fall.
A miniature landslide came tum-
bling down and the workmen were
called away to escape the danger
of larger slide.
Searching planes also planned to
hunt in pairs over southwestern
Washington. The ChehaliS office OF
the Washington State patrol veri-
fled reports tWin-motored plane
was seen by Lewis county residents
flying very low and heading into
heavy fog.
Searching planes were unable to
go south OF the Columbia rive be-
cause of continued bad weather
which hampered the search yeSter-
day.
The weather was reported clos
ing in today over the northern Cali
fornia area where persistent re-
ports from almost a dozen localities
told OF a tWin-rlotored plane flying
low and in trouble Thursday.
The civil aeronautics weather sta
ton at the municipal airport at Sac
ramento reported the weather stead
lily growing worse north to the SiSki-
you mountains. Zero conditions pre-
vailed at Red Bluff, and it is snow
.ng in the ranges along the Califor-
mia Oregon line.
In the Shasta -MOntaguc-D
muir area, low clouds and mist OBJ
scured the mountain peaks, and the
weather station said the conditions
were not suitable to search of the
ground by airplane.
Various reports told OF the twin
motored plane following river cours-
es and canyons, with the latest put
ting the plane in Mumbo Greek
Canyon between Castella and Trim
ity Center. A rugged area blanketed
by deep snow.
The bomber left McChord Field

BARGAINING unit.
Practically every shipper in the
valley was signatory to legal con-
tract binding the produce firms TO
bargain collectively through five
man committee with whatever rep
resentatives the union may choose.
The produce shippers bargaining
committee includes Fred r. Brlgnt,
Ell Centre; H. K Barker, Ell Centre;
w. j. Thornburg, Holtville; r. B.
Wilson, Brawley; and L. G. Haus-
mann, Brawley. They are backed by
produce firms in the valley, each
of which agrees to abide by the re-
suit of their conferences with nioi,
representatives. Attorney r. B
Whitelaw is secretary to the group.
The committees first major test
will come at 8 am. Tuesday, when
Ted Rasmussen, known as a region
al organizer for the Fruit and Veg
etable Workers union, CIO, presents
demands for a written agreement
between the union and valley pro-
duce firms calling for closed shop,
elimination of the split bench
system in sheds, elimination of wage
differentials between men and wom-
en- in sheds, full protection of social
security and unemployment insur-
ance for shed workers, overtime
compensation for penalty hours,
Sundays and holidays, and proper
wage adjustments where and If
necessary.
The union, originally pressing for
union hiring hall, was reported
to have agreed later to recognize
the right of employers to hire whom
they will, with the added provision
that every non-union employe must
join the union within six days
after going on the job. The closed
shop demand, together with insiS-
tence upon a written rather than
verbal agreement, were the points
stressed most strongly by union

more than week paving the way

growers reported. He has been active
in many agricultural areas through
out California in attempting to
bring about complete union organ
ization.
The activities of Rasmussen and
his fellow unioniSts led directly to
organization of the grower shipper
bargaining committee, believed to
be without parallel in the history OF
agricultural industry. In the con-
tract setting up the employers bar
gaining committee is this explana-
ton.
.. the right Of labor to desig-
nate one bargaining agent in I'm

may be the employer, brings with
it the correlative right of the differ
ent employers engaged in growing
and packing of lettuce :. to ap-
point one committee as their bar
gaining agent to meet and discuss
wages, hours and working condi-
tions with the employees designated

The contract provides that anS
agreement with laborers reached
by the grower-Shipper bargaining
committee shall be carried out by
each of the firms represented. Any
firm violating the agreement agrees
