Benson Ends Tour,
Sure He Was Right
On Cattle Supports
BY the Assosieted Press

SALT LAKE CITY, NOV. 10
The Secretary of Agriculture
Benson heads back to Washing
ton today from a drought in
spection tour, convinced that he
was right in rejecting demands
of a recent "cattlemen's caravan"
for cattle price support.
Mr.. Benson told newSmen that
in talking with several hundred
livestock farmers, farm organiza-
ton leaders and State and local
officials in six Western States, he
had found no sentiment for
direct price floors to bolster and
stabilize cattle prices.
People out here went out Of
their way" he said, Ito tell me
they are against supports and
that they approve of what we
have been doing to help the
situation"
Mr.. Benson flew into the
Southwest and West in a mill
tary plane last Thursday to make
Q firSt-hand inspection of
drought conditions, to find out
how emergency drought relief
programs are operating and to
sample farmer thinking on cattle
price supports.
Price Prop Plea Failed.
Two weeks ago several hun
dred farmers from a number of
States gathered at Washington
to press for cattle supports. The
move was sponsored by the Ma
tional Farmers Union. Mr.
Benson told the group there was
no practical" way of admins
tering supports.
The Secretary scheduled stop
today at Quincy. Ill. for a motor
trip into areas in North Missouri
which are seeking drought relief
aid. This trip will wind up at
st. Louis for the last lap of his
return journey to Washington.
Mr.. Benson told newsmen he
had found drought conditions in
parts of New Mexico, Nevada
and Wyoming to be as critical as
those in the severe 1884 drought.
Livestock men in these areas as
well as those in dry sections of
Arizona and Utah also have ap-
pealed for aid.
Decision Due This Week.
The Secretary said he would
make a decision on these appeals
late this week. He said his sur
vey indicated that several hum
dred thousand head of cattle and
sheep in affected areas face
short rations unless supplement-
ary feed supplies are made
available.
Some ranchers told him they
could not afford to pay current
market prices for feed with live
stock selling at current reduced
levels. They want supplies being
offered by the Government at
half price to needy farmers in
drought areas.
Mr.. Benson said he had found
Western farmers to be generally
optimistic about the future de-
spite troubles with dry weather
and depressed livestock prices.

Labor Unity Plans
Advanced by Pact
Eliminating 'Raidinq
By jones Y. Newton

The AFL and CIO were q long
way from merger today even
| after taking a long step in that
direction.
Unity committees Of the two
big labor organisations, made up
Of the top officials, agreed to the
essentials" of a pact designed
to prohibit raiding Of each
others membership. The agree
ment will be presented to the
executive boards and then to the
conventions in the fall for ratifi-
cation.
The next step toward merger
to be undertaken by the two COM
mittees, AFL President George
Meany said, would be "to ex-
plore the very complicated prob
lem" Of overlapping jurisdictions
among the various rival unions.
AL sides agreed that the posi-
bility Of q merger rested on the
ability Of the officers to work out
these jurisdictional problems.
Some member unions would lose
their identity in merger and
that's where the big problem lies.
Needs Convention OK.
The "no-raiding" agreement
would mean that the unions Of
the AFL, for example, would
agree not to try to take over
workers already organized and
represented by CIO unions. And
the CIO unions would agree to
the same principle.
E The agreement Still must be
put in final form and approved
by the boards and conventions
OF both organizations. Then all
Of the individual unions must
sign it. But neither MIR. Meany
nor CIO President Walter p.
Reuther anticipated any diff
culties obtaining approval. The
pact would take effect next Jan
uary.
Mr.. Reuther described it as
"the essential first step toward
organic unity Of the AFL and
CO." It was q long step for the
once-bitter rivals to take.
Umpire Would Be Picked.
The agreement would be en-
forced by an Impartial umpire"
to be selected by mutual consent.
1--WE all agreed that raiding
doesn't pay" Mr.. Reuther said.
He said files Of the National
Labor Relations Board showed
that in 1881 and 1852 there were
1,245 cases in which unions of
the two organizations were fight
ing for workers involved in the
cases, after all Of the battling
was over. there was a net gain
to the AFL Of only 5000 mem
bers. In a vast majority Of cases
the unions having the bargaining
rights retained them.
'"This no-raiding agreement, I"
Mr.. Reuther said, will make it
possible f0f both the AFL and
C1O to release a great amount
Of manpower to organize the un-
organized"
