has tied up the Church Grape
Juice company vineyards came
Tuesday morning when Church
officials offered striking pickers
Is cents per lug.
The compromise offer was i'm
mediately accepted by leaders of
the strikers who reported picking
operations will be in full swing
again Wednesday morning.
End of the strike, which start.
ed Thursday morning, came sud.
denly. Approximately 200 pickers
were involved. They walked out
of the fields Thursday when the
company refused to acknowledge
a mass petition in which they
asked Is cents per lug. e."
Church officials reported IL
cents was the "going rate" and
declined to negotiate.
Pickers reported that AL Per.
singer, field boss for. Church's,
informed Lorine E. Sipe, Pasco,
Aida Keller, Kennewick, and Lu.
ellie Peterson, Pasco, that the
company would make the com.
promise offer. The trio was on
the picket line when the climax
came. r..
They reported Persinger had
been talking to F. L. Ludlow,
manager of the plant.
Observers reported the change
Of attitude came when picking
operations hit a new low this
week. Church's officials had re.
ported only a portion of the pick.
ers were striking. However, op.
erations at the processing plant
were beginning to feel the lack
of grapes.
A Tri. City Herald reporter re-
ported that less than 40 pickers
were in the vineyards Tuesday
morning.
At the time the strike started
it was learned that grape pick
erS in the Grandview.P rosSer
area are getting from 16 to 20
cents per lug. However, Church's
officials replied that the Tugs
there are larger than those used
in the Tri. Cities.
Pickers gleefully hailed the
end Of the strike. Saturday com.
pany bosses told them they were
fired. The company changed its
position Monday with a report
the firing charge" was in error.
It was shortly after the COM
pany changed its position on this
matter that the compromise offer
was made.

newick ended abruptly We'd
nesday at 6 p. m, when Theo.
r. Neal, who operates the city
bus franchise, ordered all his
vehicles to their garage.
Neal blamed "lack of cooper
alton from the Kennewick po-
lice department" as the cause.
"The Kennewick police are
harrassing my bus drivers. I
find it impossible to continue to
operate unless changes in the
police system are made" he
declared.
However, Meals charges were
promptly denied by Police Chief
Jacob Jessup.
CHIEF SURPRISED
I'm both shocked and sur
prised to hear this, Jessup said.
1--WE only seen Neal a couple
of times and he never men,
toned or indicated to me that
we were doing anything that
might cause him to cease operat.
ing the buses"
81 think bus service to the
various sections of Kennewick
is important. So do all of the
officers here. We want to see the
bus service continued"
Wednesdays flareup brought
the first break in the service
which Neal started approx.
mately 80 days ago. Previously,
two other companies had at.
tempted at different times to op-
crate a bus line in the city. Both
ceased because of lack Of rev.
enue. -
Neal admitted to the Herald
Tuesday night that his bus line
was also operating in the "red."
He reported he is operating three
buses in the city at an average
cost of $50 per day for each
bus.
He said the daily gross for
each bus is only SIS. -
At the same time Neal said he
is operating two buses in Pasco
and is getting excellent sup
port from the public. He indi-
Gated he is considering taking
the Kennewick buses to Pasco
to build up service there.
Neal asserted his decision to
halt Kennewick bus service
came when he got his second
parking ticket in two days. He
said both tickets Were written

Rector reported Thursday
morning that he was attempt

matter over"
81 believe this situation can
be worked out to our best in

have done everything possible
to keep them here. We realize
it has cost Neal money to oper-
ate but the city feels that once
intra-city service is given reg
ularly over period of months
the citizens will get used to it
and use them more"
Jessup said he also was an.
xious to talk to Neal.
''We aren't on the lookout for

AS every county agent will point
out, it is profitable to the farmer
to know how to choose and use
pesticides properly.
There are many well known and
many relatively new chemicals for
controlling pests. Their strong
points and their weak points should
be compared before making a
choice.
1T is important" the agents en-
phasize, Ito be familiar with your
pest problems and to recognize and
follow reliable recommendation
rather than mere reports and sug-
gestions Of unframed persons.
Study the problems that may
follow use of certain materials, such
as residues and off-flavors. Consider
timing Of applications, dosages,
methods Of removing residues, ETC.,
as means of overcoming Sec
ondary problems. Be sure products
you buy comply with all regula-
tons.
Accuracy of dosage is one of the
fundamentals in the use of modern
chemicals. Read labels and ac-
companying directions carefully.
