AFL. COUNCIL TO ACT ON CURB ON VILE.
Says Rickenbacker Hang Himself

Congressman William J. Miller, Republican, of Hartford, disabled war veteran, charges that Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker is not con- tributing to national unity.
 Miller, who, like Rickenbacker, was an aviator in the first World War, in letter to the Hartford Central Labor Union expresses regret over Ricken- packers anti-labor campaign, but he thinks that the former flying ace will seal his own doom. The Congressman tells how Rickenbacker was blocked from carrying his campaign into the House of Representatives by members of Congress insisting that he be fol- lowed by speakers from the Maritime Union.
 MilIer's letter was reply to the C.L.U.'s request for support of a Congressional investigation of Rick enbacker's campaign against labor.
 The Central Labor bodies of Hart ford, Bridgeport, and New Haven each sent communications to Senators Danaher and Ma1oney, Congressman at-Large Monkiewicz, and to their re- spective District Congressman, asking support of a Congressional investiga- tion of Rickenbacker as sponsored by the Atlanta (Ga.) Trades Council.
 Replies were received in Bridgeport and Hartford, but not as yet in New Haven. All replies except Miller were thank-you letters that did not commit their senders.
 Mi11er's reply is as follows: ''Mr. Frank Morris,
 Secretary, Hartford Central Labor
 Union.
 ''Dear MT. Morris:
 Replying to your letter of April 2l, l agree with you whole-hearted ly that Captain Rickenbacker is not contributing to unity at the present time.
 "Some time ago an effort was made to have him address the House of Representatives but this was stopped by the simple expedi- ent of amending the resolution so that members of the Merchant Marine Union were to be invited to address the House on the same day.
 ''It is my understanding that Captain Rickenbacker is not now in the Army. That being true, there is nothing the War Department can do to check his activities. Frankly, l think it is just question of giv- ing him sufficient rope and he will hang himself.
 "Sincerely"
 (Signed)

 Henry J. Tierney, former president of New Haven Central Labor Council and until recently director of training and unemployment for the W.P.A., is man in quandary in regards to positions he has been offered with the Federal Government.
 Tierney was appointed last week as Labor Relations Advisor of the Federal Housing Authority, but it seems that he is also being seriously considered by the War ManpOwer Commission as area director for New Haven. In addition, he has been offered a job with the United States Consolidation Service. He has written the Service that he no longer desires that position.

New Formula
 Is Sought By Hartford CLU
Increased Production And Living Costs Should
 Be Wage Base

The Hartford Central Labor Union at its last meeting passed a resolution calling on Congress to abolish the Little Steel Formula and to instruct the VILE. to settle wage disputes on the basis of in- creased production and living costs.
 This action of the C.L.U was taker in response to an appeal by the Fresno (Cal.) Labor Council, which has al ready petitioned Congress in the mat ter and is seeking the backing of all labor councils and central unions.
 The Fresno and the Hartford reso- lutions call attention to the fact that the Little Steel Formula to freeze wages at 1941 level plus Is per cent is grossly unfair when compared to the exorbitant rise in living costs.
 They remind Congress that it's refusal to limit salary ceiling to $25, ,OOC, while freezing wages is discriminatory. After all taxes, War Bonds, and donations are de- ducted, workers wages are little better than in depression years, states the resolutions.
 In response to the Fresno appeal the new Haven Central Labor Council unanimously instructed its standing Committee on Legislation to draft an appropriate resolution of its own, and send it to Congress.
 Frank Devine, business agent of Local 35, Hartford Electricians, re- ported to the C.L.U. that the ban quet committee of which he was treasured cleared a total of $25O at the dinner which was held March "A.

Growth And Prospects Of &sl
Produce Crops In Sonora
Rudy Fleischer Lists Pea,
Tomato, Pepper And
Melon Acreages

Prospective Victory gardeners
may be inclined to omit tOma-
toes from the list of plants they
plan to raise when they know
the story behind thousands of
cars of the vegetable which pass
through NOgales each year
bound for the produce markets.
Growing tomatoes in Northern
Mexico during winter is no snap,
according to Rudy Fleischer who
last year returned to his career
as a tOmaterO after a period of
service with the Santa Cruz
County Superior Court in the
capacity of interpreter.
In theory, the raising of tomatoes
on a commercial scale is almost as
simple as providing them for table
use with a single row in the back
yard
Fields in Southern Sonora are
plowed in the latter part of July
before the beginning of the rainy
season. Seed beds are prepared
early in August. Transplanting to
fields takes place from August 20
to September L. The first picking
begins around November 20. That's
all there should be to it.
But this year storm came along
and ruined from so to 60 percent
of the plants in the fields. They
were replanted. Then second
storm caused around 40 percent
damage in the same fields Again
they were replanted AS result,
production costs in Sonora are
double what they were last year,
and the crop is late. F1eischer be-
lieves the local winter vegetable
season will continue to early June
this year.
Piled on top of transplanting
are a shortage of field
help in both Sonora and Sinaloa,
a shortage of refrigerator cars for
shipping, and shortage of shook
the lumber used to construct lugs
in which tomatoes are marketed
and other materials necessary for
packing the vegetables
Doubling wages has not resulted
in securing enough field help. War
conditions make it improbable that
the lack of packing materials or
facilities will be remedied
while hostilities continue.
Because of these factors, Fleischer
does not believe it will be possible
for this years Mexican West Coast
tomato deal to go above an 5000
Car total and many other produce
men concur in this opinion. Higher
prices prevail this season, however,
and the financial return will prob
ably be higher than it was last year
Fleischer estimates this year S
tomato planting in Sonora at about
1000 acres, and peas at 5000 acres
Some frost damage has been report

ed in the latter crop. He does not
believe over 100 acres we're planted
to peppers in the entire state of
Sonora due to the failure of a mar
ket to develop last year for this
vegetable.
For the first time in several years
growers are taking flyer in canta-
loupes and it is anticipated that
the melon deal may reach 500 cars
if the market outlook remains ia
vcrable and suitable weather con-
ditions prevail.
1t is surprising to learn that to-
Nogales international., 1943-02-19

matoes raised in Sonora, the most
northern of Mexican states, are the
first to reach American winter
markets. The reason is that Sina-
loa temperatures remain high late
into the fall and growers there must
wait for cooler weather to avoid
having the young plants burned up
in the fields.
