While thousands of Texas rarm

being forced by low wages to mi

reporting to be easing entry regu-
lations for Mexican labor under
cover of an alleged farm labor

Pressure from the Texas Ship

Tohn Williams Taken
Bv Sudden Death

Last Friday night after listening
to the Robinson-Doyle fight and
retiring about II p. m, apparently
in the best of spirit and health,
John J. Williams died suddenly at
his home, 8O1 So. End Ave-, with
out much complaining.
Mr.. William asked his wife, after
retiring, for medicine to relieve gas
from which he was suffering, and
afterwards apparently was resting
we'll until his struggle for breath
aroused Mrs. Williams who called
neighbors, but shortly afterwards
without further struggle, he was
dead.
Mr.. Williams was native of
San Antonio, Texas, has lived in
Phoenix for % years and worked
for the Water Users all of that
time until he retire less than two
months ago.
He laid in State at Fest Lake
Mortuary, Sunday, that his many
friends might have a chance to
pay their last respect.
Funeral services were held at the
First Colored Baptist Church
where he has been a member and
deacon for the last 25 years; con-
Quoted by Rev. L. B. Nelson.
Mr.. Williams is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Laura Williams, one Sis
ter, Mrs. Ana Smith of San An
tonic, Texas and a cousin, Mrs.
Ada Powell of Phoenix.
East Lake Mortuary was in
charge.

Activities of the state labor de-
partment in connection with the
cotton cases, one of which against
a Pinal grower is still pending
became known throughout the
country, and federal agencies
showed considerable interest. When
Pustarfi attended the Thirteenth
National Conference on Labor Leg
islation in Washington last Decem-
ber, he headed the important COM
mittee on migratory labor. The
report of that committee has been
acclaimed as pointing the way tC
ideal conditions for the class OF
working people who are now re-
duced to practical serfdom as mi
gratory workers. Many states have
adopted that report, and are now
enacting legislation recommended
in it. Arizona is not one of those
states.

Texas families to leave their homes
and endure severe hadshipS be-
cause they are denied the right to
work at a living wage at home.
"There is no farm labor short
age in Texas"
Wage scales in the Rio Grande
Valley are purely artificial because
thousands of Illegally entered
Mexicans are forced to take any
wage offered them without COM
plant or face deportation, Roger
revealed. The feeling is bitter
among the Mexican American
people in the Valley, San Antonio
and the Winter Garden section of
Texas who must remain idle while
their jobs are taken by others.
This is not case Of complain
ing about foreign" labor, he point
ed out. The situation would be the
same if cheap labor was being
transported from Louisiana or
Arkansas to replace residents of
Texas.

The Aircraft Conversion Com

Itch Construction Company, of Mis-
souri,, which purchased from the
United States approximately $500
warplanes-B-24's, BITS, PISS
and few of the more modern B-25
bombers, for about $2,O00,0O0, and
after purchase found" some 200,-
600 gallons of high test airplane
gasoline, is busily demolishing those
planes-at the rate of about 80
each day.
The big ships, which cost the gov
ernment quarter of million dol
lars each, some veterans of the bat
tie fronts of Europe and the Orient,
others with less than 35 hours fly
ing time, are being stripped of all
instruments, cut up with a knife
like cleaver operated by a hosting
machine, and pushed into a furnace
with a bull-dozer, to be melted
down and re-sold to make more
modern War-planes.
A small part of those planes at
Pearl Harbor, at Corregidor and
other places at the beginning of
World War Two would have been
a Godsend to the people stranded
at those places, and would have
saved many American lives. Now
they are useless, broken up scrap
junk-that will fatten the profits
of an out-of-state corporation that
will make hundreds of thousands
of dollars from the destruction of
those War-birds.

Mrs. Bass used to walk out the

eat mother birds, leaving baby
birds to fall out of nests; children

The United States Department
of Labor has won it's long-drawn
out case against Porter Northroup,
Cotton Center cot ON grower,
charged with illegal employment
of children during school hours.
The case was the outcome of an
intensive drive by the Arizona
State Labor Department, conducted
by E. F. Vickers, Sr., at that time
the labor department manager,
and his chief deputy (now mana
ger), Ted Pustarfi, aided by inves-
tigators from the federal agency.
The case received considerable at
tention in the local press, due to
disclosure of the oppressive condi-
tions under which laboring people,
imported from neighboring states,
lived and worked.
Pustarfi filed a complaint with
the County Attorney, based on nom
compliance with school laws, and
attorneys for the cotton grower at
tempted to have the complaint
quashed, alleging unconstitutional
ty of the school law. Superior
Court Judge Windes upheld the
law, but the case was later dis
missed on request of the County
Attorneys office, witnesses by then
having left the State.
The state agency then requested
action by the Federal government,
based on the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1888, which prohibits en-
ployment of children in agriculture
involving interstate commerce,
when such employment violates
state laws. The court decision now
reached by Judge David w. Ling
handed down a judgment in favor
of the government, and restrains
Northrup from future hiring of
school children during school hours.
It is expected to have a profound
effect in limiting illegal child labor
in the fields.

Mrs. Everett Bass gets the birds
and praise-from almost. every
child in her neighborhood.
She lives at 9O4-H South Sew
enth Avenue. If a baby bird in
that neighborhood falls out of
it's nest, Mrs. Bass is almost sure
to hear a knock on her door with
in few minutes.
The "bird woman" knows what
to expect when those light taps
sound on her back door. A child
will stand there with a fledgling
in his hand, holding it out to Mrs.
Bass.
"Some of the children got so in
terested that they climbed trees
and took the little birds right out
of their nests" Mrs. Bass said with
a laugh. "I had to tell them I
didn't want birds that bad"
She provides a cage and food
and water for crippled birds, and
for those just too young to learn
to fly.
AS soon as they are old enough,
they take a few practice flights
from her forefinger, held a few
inches from the floor. When she
feels that they are entitled to a
private pilots certificate, she lets
them fly out the open window.

savings dropped from an abnormal

The decline was attributed to price
