Imperial County
Farm | Labor Census
Getting Underway
Employment Head Lists
Names Of Persons Who
Will Conduct Survey

Imperial county's continu-
ing farm labor census was
in full swing Thursday.
Manager T. M. Finney of
the U. S. Employment office
in Ell Centre announced appointment
of five full time census takers to
conduct the survey of agricultural
labor which is intended to provide
information for draft deferments,
automobile tire rationing and diver
sion of workmen from one field to
another
Census takers listed by Finney
were Mrs. Paul Alvey, Calipatria;
Mrs. Frances Kenny, FL Centre;
Frank Powell, Holtville; N. M.
Layne, Calexico and Walter Ay-
cock, Brawley.
In announcing the census taking
personnel, Finney recalled that the
farmers have subscribed funds to
finance the survey, and asked the
utmost cooperation from them SO
that an active, day-to-day inven-
tory of farm laborers may be kept.
The continuing census, listing
available men, where they are EN-
ployed, when they go on a job and
when they leave it, is intended
partially to alleviate a threatening
labor shortage here, particularly by
offering evidence for draft defer
ment requests and indicating what
men are putting in a maximum
amount of time.
1t will help, additionally, by fur
niShing rationing boards with evi-
dence of vital need for tires to
transport laborers.

union members insisted upon the
full 81 day increase and union
shop demanded by the United Steel
Workers (CIO)
Public members joined with in
dustry representatives on the board
in ordering the wage increase, by
an eight to four vote. Vigorous
protests by the labor members and
resentment amcng steel union lead
ers at rejection of the $l-a-day de-
mand led to some doubt about i'm
mediate union acceptance.
The wage increase will be retro
active to last February, when the
four cases were certified to the
board. The decision Is expected to
be announced by WLB Chairman
William H. Davis in press con-
ference scheduled to start at AIS
p. m. EW.T.
SETS PRECEDENT
The decision in Little Steel
was regarded as the most significant
WLB action since President ROOse-
velt announced his seven-point an
ago. The wage increase is ex-
pected to have a direct bearing in
the boards action on identical de-
mands affecting 100000 automobile
workers.
In addition to the $4,000 en-
ployes of Inland Steel, Republic
Steel, Bethlehem Steel and Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube Co. directly
affected by the order, the wage in
crease probably will be made effec-
tive for 100000 employees of Big
Steel" The industry has a policy
of union wages.
Labor officials expect that the
order also will have bearing in
deciding wage demands of approx
imately 100000 aviation industry
workers.
INITIATION THREAT
The boards decision will be re-
leased in the midst of what has
become a major crisis in the admin
istration's attempt to fight infla-
ton. President Roosevelt was said
to have told his legislative leaders
yesterday that he might ask con-
gress to forego a congressional re-
cess to be on hand to consider
more drastic anti-inflatiOn program
with strong wage and salary con-
trolls.
Other factors bearing on the
Little Steel case were:
l. President Philip Murray OF
the Congress of Industrial Organ
izations charged in Pittsburgh last
night that the public representa-
tives on the war labor board were
"abdicating" their wage adjusting
powers to Price Administrator Leon
Henderson. He charged that an
OPA representative had entered
stabilization negotiations in the air
craft industry on the Pacific coast
with an ultimatum that no wage
increase be granted. He also said
Henderson had 'meddled" IN the
steel wage controversy.
2. Three ranking government Of
ficials were reported concerned
about the sentiments expressed by
an OPA official before the aircraft

despite persistent Russian counter
attacks, a late dispatch from the
Russian front line forces. said that
the tempo of the enemy advance
was accelerated after the fall OF
Boguchar and Millerovo.
The German high command,
claiming encirclement of large So
Wet forces, obviously was attempt
ing to Cd clean out the Don river
bend, 60 close a pincers from the
north and from Taganrog on the
west against heavily bombed Rostov,

would isolate the Caucasus.

The road ahead of the Germans

Labor Recruiting
Gives Sad Results

1t may be a long time before
Don Kichich again recruits his
labor from the city Jail
His first experience was Wednes-
day, police reports showed Thurs
day. He hired George Lang, who
had just been releaSed by city
police. He even bought Lang a
bottle of wine, a report of the sher-
ifs office said Then Kichich sat
down to dinner in a cafe. While
he was dining, he told officers,
Lang drove away with his truck.
Lang and the truck were later
recovered in FL Centro. The truck
was sent back to Kichich, Lang
was sent back to Jail.

West of FL Centre that night the

BILE when one of the tires blew
out. They laboriously put on the

where they tried in vain to buy a
second hand tire.
Finding their quest useless they
decided to chance the trip of almost
5000 miles on the four tires left.
But when only half way to Yuma

There, the San Diegans claimed,
his companions boarded a bus to
continue on their way, leaving the
car with 'Adelston to take back to
the navy officers home at 2508
F. street in National City. On his
return trip, Adelston said he again
stopped in Ell Centre where he was
picked up by Officers because "he
wore coat" quite unusual for El
Centre in the summer.
Because he looked suspicious, Adel-
ston is now detained at the police
station while his story is being
