C. NIELSEN DEAD IN BEAR RIVER CITY LABOR MEETS Schedule of Wages to be Paid Was Presented for Consideration The American Federation of Labor, Local No. 19288, met the respective representatives of the Beet Growers' Ass'n of Box Elder county Saturday, March 23, for the purpose of adjusting a wage scale suitable for labor. This scale was figured very closely and carefully by labor, considering the increase of commodities on present living conditions as they are now from 4 to 25 per cent higher than in December, 1934; also the amount of work that the average man can do satisfactorily in a reasonable work day, along with the additional expenses of traveling to and from work. The following agreement for labor in the beet fields of Box Elder county was presented for consideration: Section 1. The following minimum wages shall be paid to all labor in the Hsugar beet fields of this county: $7.50 Thinning, per acre First hoeing, per acre 4.00 Second hoeing, per acre 2.50 Topping (above 10 ton per acre average 65 Topping (below 10 ton per acre average 90 25 Loading Hauling (per first mile or .35 under) Hauling (per ton each 10 additional mile) It is further agreed that labor performed on beet lands in which alfalfa roots present additional difficulties and efforts shall be compensed at an additional rate of $1.00 per acre for first hoeing and $1.00 per acre for second hoeing. It is further agreed that individual workers, or groups, may be free to bargain individually or collectively for thinning and hoeing on land which presents additional difficulties, etc., other than mentioned, cloddy ground, etc., provided that in no instance Is less than the above minimum' wage paid for work done where there is an average stand of beets. Any individual or collective bargaining must be in writing. It is further agreed that the beet thinners shall get all weeds three inches each side of the beet. Section 2. Child Labor: The beet growers agree to abide by the State and Federal regulations governing the use of child labor in the beet fields. Section 3. Importation or Use of Foreign Labor:.. The beet growers agree to refuse to employ or import foreign labor for work in the fields as long as there are qualified and willing workers available who are bona fide residents of Box Elder county. Section 4. Payment of Wages:.. All wages shall be paid in full at the completion of the work unless otherwise agreed to by the worker .or workers either individually or collecand any agreements must be tive made in writing, signed by the interested parties and a copy retained by each party. Section 5. Disputes: All disputes which cannot be settled among the parties concerned will be referred to the North Utah Labor Board. The executive heads of the association stated that it has been the custom of the association in the past to recommend certain wages be paid for labor. They have never thought of the capitol which is derived from products they grow as being the product of past labor; nor have they considered the products they produce are utilized by labor and that labor must have a fair salary in order to purchase the necessary commodities. The time has come when labor must be more carefully considered, as they are a part of the exchange block of the nation; and without purchasing power, through labor, business and industry are dead. This set-u- p by labor, was directly opposed by the association of beet growers, although they were unable to give their recommended wage scale at the present time. Labor is asking for a public hearing on this matter in the hope of hav ing a satisfactory agreement drawn up which will benefit both sides con-- 1 cerned. Labor asks the support of all beet field workers in Box Elder county, whether union members or otherwise, with them in this mat-- , to ter in order that a fair wage will be paid in return for the service ren dered,' ( J Niels Christian Nielsen, farmer, died at his home at eleven o'clock Tuesday night following a two year illness. Born in Nykoping, Denmark, on December 24, 1857, he came to the United States thirty years ago. In 1926 he moved from. Salt Lake City to Bear River city where he has since resided. His wife, Meta Nelson, whom he married in Denmark, preceded him in death. Mr. Nielsen was a member of the L. D. S. church.

EMERGENCY CROP, j The DeVern Watkins Post No. 76 of the American Legion, of this city, has entered upon a period of special activity which will extend over the next two months. The first will be a legion program and dance to be held at Bear River City Saturday at 8 p. m. This meeting will be of an educational nature In which it is hoped that Inactive and the general public may learn of the ideals and purposes of legionism. Within the next two weeks a dance will be held at the Crystal Springs.

George Carter Dies Following Short Illness t Field Supervisor Vernal Willie of the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Office at Salt Lake City states that applications for emergency crop loans and feed loans are now being received at Tremonton on Tuesday of each week, and at the court house at Brig-haCity on Monday of each week. In acordance with the Act of Congress authorizing the loans, and regus lations issued by Governor W. I. of the Farm Credit Administra tion, loans will be made only to farmers who are unable to obtain' elsewhere seed, fertilizers, supplies, feed or the necessary credit to purchase such items. Loans will not be made to applicants who can obtain credit in the amount needed from any other source, including the production credit association. Any farmer who has the necessary security should apply to the production credit association first. If the association is unable to make him a loan in the amount needed the farmer will receive a statement to that effect and will be considered eligible to apply for a loan from the emergency fund. The regulations provide that the largest loa n to one farmer this year is $500 and the minimum $10, but no loan may be made in an amount greater than is actually needed to cover the cash cost of purchasing seed, fertilizers, supplies, feed, etc. Loans will be made for the purpose of growing and harvesting crops, for summer- - fallowing, for purchasing feed for livestock; but not for the purpose of purchasing livestock or machinery, or for the payment of debts or taxes. Loans will be made only to applicants who are cooperating with the Production Control Program of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. As in the past, the security for an emergency crop or feed loan wfl! consist of a first lien on the crop financed or on the livestock to be fed. A tenant must also give a first lien by to waive his getting the claim in favor of the crop lien; but is in no way obligated the for repayment of his tenant's loan. Checks in payment of approved loans will be issued by the Regional Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Office at Salt Lake City. JUNIOR TRAFFIC REHABILITATION m POLICE NAMED land-own- land-own- One of the major 'undertakings of the American Legion for 1935 is a continuation of its safety campaigns throughout the United States in an endeavor to eliminate traffic hazards. Each year the death toll seems to get bigger until at the present time the offical record indicates that during 1934 a total of thirty-fiv- e thousand persons were killed and more than a million maimed in the United States. This tragic toll is due mostly to negligence and unintelligence and the American Legion proposes to do some thing about it. In this connection the Legion is working with the various civil and civic bodies to bring the desired results. The program proposes four methods of attacking the problem: Legislation, enforcement, education both child and adult and engineering. A great deal has already been accomplished toward enacting uniform traffic laws, drivers license laws financial responsibility statutes and uniform municipal traffic ordinances.; The educational program is being carried on in many schools throughout the country and is meeting with considerable success. Locally, the DeVere Watkins Post has instituted at the public school at Tremonton, Elwood and Plymouth, a school boy patrol for directing pedes-tia- n traffic near school buildings durthe hours that school convenes. ing The Post has received the hearty cooperation of the town councils and schools in this respect and asks the general public to lend its support in protecting our children and making the highways safer against the number of dead and Injured resulting from automobile accidents. This school safety program is being extended to all the neighboring schools and towns just as quickly as is possible to get the desired cooperation. The local post is determined to do its bit toward carrying on this national campaign and solicits the assistance of all citizens. Considerable interest has been aroused in the installation of the Jun ior traffic police, which have been set up under the direction of the com- mittee of the local post. A cordial invitation is extended to all men and the general public to join the legionnaires in these activities, and cooperate with the boys who have been appointed as traffic police and thus aid greatly in the proper regulation of car and pc- -' destrain traffic. ever-increasi- Have Been Changed The time of the local train in and out of this city was changed on the second of this month. The new schedule is as follows: Train 560, south bound, 8:46 A. M.; train 559, north bound, 11:30. A. M. The evening mail which leaves the local office by star route to Dewey-vill- e remains the same, as does also the early mail that comes from Dewey in the morning. It is felt that this will serve the public much better than to have the outgoing mails so near together as was the case before the present change. - ! $ M. I.

Gibson, county supervisor of Rural Rehabilitation, advises that to date eight applications for loans of livestock and equipment as were nec essary to properly equip and stock places for persons who had exhausted other sources of credit, to be in a position to care for their farming units during the coming year. Several loans were made for the purchase of chicks and feed and in two cases funds were advanced for the building of coops. The loan of one case in cluded the purchase of two horses, two cows, harness, chickens, wagon, mowers plow, rake, harrow, grain seed, materials for the construction of a barn and part of the materials for the construction of a house. In another case, seeds, spraying material, a brood sow, chicks, and feed were approved. The duration of the major part of these loans was for a short period. In most cases they can be repaid back in periods of not more than five or six years. They will carry no interest the first year, after which interest will be charged at the rate of These loans should aid these in dividuals to obtain considerable if not all of their income from farms and thus place these people in a position to maintain acceptable standards of living in their various communities. Several more applications have been sent to the State Office and several more are being considered for rehabilitation loans. It is urged that persons who are on relief or persons who have exhausted other available sources of credit take advantage of this set-u- p by making proper application for rehabilitation through the Social Service Division of this county. The Rural Rehabilitation County Advisory Committee have been selected and have been functioning for some time. This Committee includes County Agricultural Agent Robert H. Stewart, County Commissioner Geo Abbott, former County Commissioner T. L. Davis, County ERA Manager Amos PT Hansen and Mr. John A. Ward, farmer of Willard. Loan ap plications are reviewed before this committee and approved by them before they are sent for final approval by the Utah Rural Rehabilitation Corporation in Salt Lake City. Rural people who are on relief or who have exhausted other credit resources, who are in need of farm equipment, livestock, feed and seed, and who have facilities that can be used to obtain part or all of their income for the coming year, should utilize this Division to place them on a basis.
