Coach Johnny Herrera's greatly
improved Apache football squad will
play hosts to the Casa Grande Cou-
gars tonight at the high school
stadium with the kickoff slated for
8 o'clock.
The Herreramen have lost four
games, won one, and they tied one
last Friday night when they sur
prised the Nogales Amvets with a
6-6 score.
Casa Grande, who has won every
game this season but one which they
lost to the Bisbee Pumas, TO, are
supposed to be one of the heaviest
football teams in the state. The fact
that the Pumas defeated Nogales
2O-9, gives the Apaches the position
of underdogs as far as comparative
scores are concerned.
Armando Preciado, that fast little
Indian who is holding down the
quarterback position, has been
showing himself to be the main

The Hard Way

WASHINGTON (LPA July
22-Clinching evidence that the
Truman administration has
learned a bitter lesson on the
possibility of obtaining indus
trial peace thru passage of anti
strike legislation was given last
week in the seventh report OF

of the significant passages;
"The attainment of peaceful
industrial relations does not rest
with legislation. The relations
between men and management
are human relations.

Speed Southern
CIO Cumpuiqn

WASHINGTON (LPA) july
22-The CLOS southern organiz-
ing drive, with a completed staff
of 293 organizers, is now in full
swing, chalking up NLRB cleo
ton victories in practically
every plant where contests have
been held, Van A. Bittner direc-
tor of the campaign, declared
here last week.
Bittner said that the drive
now has 243 new organizers,
$50 of whom are from the
south, and SO organizers who are
on the payrolls of various ClO
unions.
"We're proceeding in fine
shape toward our goal of l.
100000 new members in the
SOUTH" he reported. Organiza-
ton has proceeded so rapidly,
he continued, that no complla-
ton of new membership has
been made. "We're organizing
night and day." he said. Nearly
80 NLRB elections have gone
to the CIO Bittner disclosed
that as soon as the workers
have been certified by the
NLRB they are turned over to
the individual CIO interna-
tional unions.
Bittner startled reporters with
the revelation that Alabama has
more CIO members in proper
ton to the total number of in
dustrial workers than any other
state.
At Oak Ridge, Tenn, where
the CLOS Atomic Workers Or
ganizing Committee is competing
with 10 AFL unions, Bittner as
serted military dictatorship is
in power. "If there is a concen-
tration camp in the U. S. it's at
Oak Ridge" he charged.

moving toward higher peaks
all the time. According to the
figures on the charts, the

have to, because every nickel we

the victory, the Mud Hens came
out of the cellar and entrenched
themselves solidly in the seventh

Ohio cIO-PAC
Holds Rent
Control Meeting

The program of the CIO-PAC
for the special session of the
State Legislature which met
Thursday, July Is, calls for a
rent freeze as of June 80, plus
increased old age pensions,
workmen's compensation and
unemployment compensation.
The governor told the com
mittee that he believed 10 per
cent increase in rent was 1ustl-
fled. and that he had intended
to present bills at the special
session calling for increasing OF
all compensation and pensions,
but had been informed that the
legislature would not vote IA
vorably on any issue except rent
control, and therefore he would
not present these bills.
It was the concensus of opln-
ion of the delegates that lobby
ing will be more ettectlVe Wileii
the legislators are convinced that
the PAC can get the liberal vote
out to the polls.
More than 1000 delegates
from CIO locals, old age pen
sion clubs, consumers groups
and other organizations through
out the state, met in the Neil
House, Columbus, Ohio, on Mon
day. July %. The meeting lasted
from 10 a. m. to p. m.
Resolutions calling for ade-
ouate state price and rent con-
troll were adopted.

control by the market oper-
ators.
Out here, despite the fact that
nrices of most commodities are
lower than in the East, meat Is
high and plentiful. Pork IS
shorter. but the supply is ex-
nected to take a sudden rise by
the weekend.
Results of private control over
meat prices was fittingly demon
strated this week in Omaha, Ne
hraska when thousands of pigs
and cattle reached that CITY,
forcing prices down from % 10
So a hundred pounds on hogS
and 81 to So on cattle.
Farmers Get Hooked
AS might be expected, the
drop in the price of beef ana
pork is not reflected in lower
meat prices to the consumers.
Farmers who had been holding
their livestock for destruction OF
OPA price controls in their
anxiety to unload did so, and all
at the same time. The result was
that in one day 10000 cattle and
$4,000 hogs reached the Omaha
market in the heat of the day
and hundreds of them died due
to the crowded conditions of the
cars and trucks in temperatures
that ranged from 80 to 100 de-
grees. oo
Just one year ago, only 1000
of each were received at the
same market. Thus, the prices
paid the farmers was disappoint-
ing to them after waiting for so
long to reap the harvest of dol
lars which they had been led to
believe by the meat packers
would occur, if they would string
along with the meat packing in
dustry in attempting to kill off
price control.
What Reaction
What the reaction of the farm
ers to the. lowering of meat
prices (for them) will be is
doubtful although the farmers

the interest of producing needed

resolution pointed out that the
j. l. Case Co., "has refused to
even meet with representatives
of their employees during the
seven months strike" Both
companies" said the CIO, have
defied the u. S. government,
have flouted the public interest
and refused to recognize ac-
cepted procedure of collective
bargaining"
In Chicago the executive
board of the Farm Equipment
Workers advocated an indus
try-wide strike if the two dis
putes are not settled by July 81.
