GROWERS URGE SETTLEMENT IN TOMATO STRIKE

Claim Crop Is Rotting in

Fields for Want of Market.

TERRE HAUTE, July 27 (U. PJ). —More than 100 tomato growers to- ' day appealed to nine striking engineers of the Louden Packing Co. to come to an agreement with com-

pany officials and save the farmers from ruin. The company will not make purchases during the strike, Stewart Rose, president, said, adding that a clause in the contract with the growers justified the act under such circumstances. The engineers, members of Local 674 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, an A. F. of L. -gffiliate, conferred with company officials yesterday and asked: 1. The arbitration clause be stricken from. the contract. 2. They be given complete jurisdiction of all boilers and valves in the plant. 3. The company guarantee them a year of full time work of three shifts a day regardless of whether the plant is operating.

Offers Guarantee

Wilson N. Cox Jr. company attorney, said the company offered to guarantee the strikers full time wotk until Oct. 15. The union has not answered, he said. Mr. Cox said one farmer had told him that he would lose between 50 to 75 tons of tomatoes because of the strike. Some growers are reportedly seeking outlets for their crop at Vincennes, it was said. The growers met with Mr. Rose, explaining their case, then adopted a resolution which was sent to the engineer union. The resolution appealed to “hu- " manitarian principles,” stating that although the loss of their over-ripe tomatoes means their ruin financially, in future years they would not grow tomatoes, thus eliminating jobs for the engineers.

DEMANDS CITY ACT ON TRACKS

South Side Civic Club Puts Responsibility at Door of Mayor. :

The South Side Civic Club told Mayor Boetcher today that “the blame will lie entirely with you” if PWA refuses to aid in financing

‘South Side track elevation.

In a letter te the Mayor, the Club urged upon him “the vital necessity” of seeing the project through to a successful finish. The move followed reports that PWA may turn down an application for a 45 per cent grant of the project’s estimated $3,085,000 cost because definite assurance of affected railroads’ financial co-operation is lacking. Mayor Boetcher, in a telegram to The Times yesterday from his Michigan vacation retreat, said: “Efforts will be made to obtain the railroads’ co-operation.”

First Move “Up to City”

The Civic Club's letter, signed by Charles J. Fritz, secretary, said, in part: “You, and we 100, are aware that the track elevation law requires the City to make the initial move and that Marion County and the railroads affected must fall in line. This being the case, we can see no reason why this matter should again be postponed. “If the local authorities wish to wait with track elevation on the South Side until the roads admit that they have funds for the purpose, then none of us now living ever will see the accomplishment of this so badly needed improvement. “It is the opinion of our officers and trustees, acting for a membership of several hundred, that this question is squarely ‘up to’ the present administration and that if it is again turned down the blame will lie entirely with you. “May we not again urge upon you the vital necessity of seeing this through to a successful finish? ‘PWA Willing to Make Grant’ “We should like to add that we have been assured that PWA is willing to make this grant provided Indianapolis authorities will make a fght for it. We believe that this fight should and must be made.” . City Engineer Henry B. Steeg, who

filed the application for the City July 7, has said, “The City has done everything in its power to obtain a PWA grant. The rest is up to Federal officials.” : The railroads’ repeated assertions that they have no money for the work long have been a stumbling block in the way of the project. Mr. Steeg drew his tentative plans after conferences with railroad engineers. Roads affected are the Pennsylvania and the Indianapolis Union Railway. Under Indiana statute, railroads must pay 50 per cent of the total cost, the City 34 per cent and the County 16 per cent. Respective shares would be based on 55 per cent of the total cost if a 45 per cent PWA grant is obtained.
