story goes:-The apple farm
ers of the Yakima Valley, IN
raising and gathering apples,
work out their problems on
labor similar to the cotton
farmers, by simply using any
labor available, along with the
help of the family. But, the
apple growers soon found out
it wasn't as simple as it has
been since the govt. has en-
tered the labor business. AS
'pitiful as it was, they found
themselves facing a winter OF
hardship and a bountiful sup
ply Of apple or hand, be-
cause they would not give the
Apple Knockers Union a
closed. shop contract. And, for
that reason, the Transfers
Union refused to handle them
after they reached the market
and wouldn't let anybody else
handle them. The farmers
faced with this situation, and
seeing their years work
wasted in the midst of a war,
took the only alternative, and

Jan swung the car off the Outer

westward to Indiana Avenue. Big
ger wanted Jan to drive faster SO
that they could reach Ernie's Kit

time. That would allow him
chance to cit in the car and stretch
out his cramped and aching legs
while they ate.
The way he had acted had made

In his relations with her he felt
that he was riding a seesaw; never
were they on a common level
either he or she was up in the air
Mary dired her eyes and Jar
whispered something to her. Big
gro wondered what he could say

walked off his job, and he would

caught his arm and tried to pull
him forward, but Bigger huns
back. Jan land Mary walked To-

not to say yessuh anil ycssum to

he had been saying it all his life
long? He looked before him II
such a way that his eyes would
not meet theirs. The waitress
came and Jan ordered three beers
and three portions Of fried chick

lie turned and saw Jack waving
at him, but starting at Jan ard
Mary. He waved a stiff palm in
return. Goddamn! Jack walked a.
way hurriedly. Cautiously, Big
ger looked round: the waitress
and several people at other tables
were staring at him. They all
knew him and he knew that they
were wondering as he would have
wondered if he had been In their
places. Mary touched his arm.
Have you ever been here be-
fore, Bigger?" He CROPPED for
neutral, words that would convep

And that is what these men

sees his neighbor catching
hell for doing something
what guarantee does he have
for believing he will be bene,

Such is the case with the Clio
boys in the North Little Rock

been closing down due to un-

this paper would lose no time

find that they are being led or
