' R o b ert G illen, secretary of the Erie County D em o cratic Com m ittee, w a s found by the g rand jury to have called a g roup o f W .

Finn, federal D epart m ent of Labor conciliator, asserted th a t “a conference a t a secret place” was in progress between Edward F. Murphy, of Cleveland, international vice president of the A.F.L. union whose affiliate called the strike yes terday, and a group of food industry employers. Meat Cutters Delay Strike Finn said members of the m eat cutters union, another A.F.L. affili ate, had decided not to strike, pend ing the outcome of renewed negotia tions. No attem p t was made to interfere with private automobiles a t two m ar ket term inals as picket lines were ex tended and! ordered to duty a t any retail stores handling non-union de liveries. Meanwhile, in Rochester, where 120 employes of the Loblaw chain stores voted a sympathy strike last night, work continued as usual. Spokesmen for the meat cutters union said f u rther action awaited in form ation from Charles R. Miller, union business agent, who came here to confer with other union leaders. M ediator Assigned Meanwhile, in Albany, Andrew C. Doyle, supervisor of the New York State Mediation Board, announced he had assigned a m ediator to work with the Federal Conciliation Bureau in an endeavor to obtain \peaceful set tlem ent” of the dispute. h rank Zee, business agent of the union which called the strike, said orders had been given to conduct it \peacefully.” He said deliveries of food to hospitals and charitable in stitutions were n o t :to be'curtailed. The strike w as called after a breakdown of month-long negotia tions. The union sought pay increases to compensate for a reduction of working hours which it said was oc casioned by the Federal \Wage and H o u r Act. Besides the two produce m arkets, the strike was directed against three iarge chain grocery organizations— Loblaw Groceterias, Inc., S. M. Flick- inger Company and Danahy-Faxon Stores, Inc. The A tlantic and Pacific stores were not affected. The trucking com pany serving the A. & P. stores re cently signed a new contract with the union. \Complete suspension” of trading in the fruit, vegetable, egg, poultry and fish distribution was announced by M ark F. O’Donnell, senior m arket reporter of the State D epartm ent of A g riculture and M arkets. Such communities as Jamestown, Olean and Salamanca, and W arren and Bradford, Pa., depend heavily on Buffalo fo r their food supplies, O’Donnell revealed. He said trucks from those points usually come to Buffalo on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, but he expressed the belief th a t m erchants there will have to de pend on some other city as source of supply unless the local strike is set tled quickly. Mr. O’Donnell anticipated that some chains may seek to bring food to Buffalo from their Rochester stores and warehouses if the strike is of long duration.

Stores H e r e N o t A ffected Y e t Local stores of the Danahy-Faxon and Loblaw, chains were not m aterial ly affected thus fa r by the strike, it was said today. One shipment from Buffalo f o r the Loblaw store was tied upt yesterday, but it secured green goods from Rochester. The Danahy- Faxon stores first truck from Buffalo is due Friday, and the strike could have no effect on them ' u n til then, it was said. Elm er Funk of the R. & B, m a rket had sent a shipment of capons to Buffalo, however, only to be advised by the trucker th a t he not only could not deliver b u t could not get- them into cold storage.

Flyer Hits Auto on Grade Crossing in Bradford; Salamanca Man in Locomotive Bradford, Dec. 21.—Four persons escaped serious injury when the car in which they were riding was struck by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad Buffalo-Rittsburgh flyer at the North Kendall avenue crossing at 1.30 o’clock this morning. The auto was thrown more than 50 feet. William Nelson, 12 Kent boule vard, was engineer in the lead engine of the two locomotivces pulling the train. Miss Lois Bolton of Sawyer road, who was riding in the front seat 'of the car and Miss Muriel DeWeese of North Kendall avenue were admitted to Bradford hospital, suffering main ly from shock. B e n n e tt Penn of Olean, driver of the sedan, and Edwin Bohrer of Rochester, N. Y., the fourth occu pant of the machine, were shaken up. Penn reported to police he did not see the train as he drove northward across the tracks, bound f o r Miss De- W eese’s home. The train, draw'll by two locomo tives and consisting of seven coaches, struck the m o tor of the car and hurled i t clear of the track on which it ivas traveling. The auto, which landed on its right side on the north bound track, was badly wrecked. The train was stopped by Engineer Nelson, in the lead engine, and F. R. W iikey of DuBois, the other engi neer, after it had traveled a distance up the track. The train, conductor of which ivas F. J. Thompson of Sala manca, was due out of Bradford at 1.29 a. m. It was delayed until 2.05 o’clock. As the cow-catcher of the front engine, No. 5189, was damaged by the impact, the engine was cut off and the train proceeded with one lo comotive only.

U. S. A ttorney George L. Grobe said the arrests were on the largest scale since repeal of prohibition. The charges, contained in indict ments returned by last month’s fed eral grand jury here, involve “a mul tiplicity of operations over a long period by various interrelated oper ators w’ho moved illicit stills from place to place,” Grobe said. W a rrants for the arrests wrere placed in the hands of Deputy Mar shal William J. Reardon and agents of the Federal Alcohol Tax U n it early today. Grobe said the various defendants probablj' would be brought to trial at the March term of federal court here. Buffalo, Dec. 20 (A*) — Despite their reports of long hours and hard work, not one of six upstate farm ers interviewred said they had any re grets over their decision to make a living from the soil. If they were given the chance to start life over again, they w'ould choose farm ing in preference to most city occupations. Lifetime farm e rs all and past the two score m ark in years, those ques tioned w ere: Poultry raiser W ilbur D. Chase, Genesee county; New York State President of the Vegetable Growers Association; H enry G. Mar- quardt, Erie county; Dairyman James Samuelson, Cattaraugus county; Dairyman and Poultryman, Clayton G. W hite, Chautauqua county; Dairy Farm e r and Assemblyman, Fayette E. Pease, N iagara county, and Dairyman Paul C. Regan, Allegany county. Farm e r N e v e r Jobless Chase summed up their collective attitudes w ith: “I have no regrets x x x I do not know of a better occupation x x x.” Regan pointed out, “A good farm er is never jobless.” Chief advantage of farm ing, they agreed, was the \independence” it offered. \W e can come and go as w’e please because we work for ourselves,” Mar- quardt contended. “Some people think we are too independent, hut we like it.” B e tter transportation facilities, school developments and rural elec trification have overcome virtually all of the old disadvantages of the farm, the six reported, leaving it an ideal place to bring up a family. Reports and i*esearch work from tbe farm Bureau, Cornell University and the New York State Agricultural Experim e n t Station a t Geneva are in dispensable to modern farm ing and make it the profitable enterprise it is, they maintained. Advise Young Farmers Asked what advice could he given a young farm e r to assure him of suc cess, they offered three suggestions. (1) Blake sure you like farm work, (2) Be prepared to work hard and long. (3) Pick your farm and equipment carefully, \A young man should at least have his livestock and tools paid for before buying a farm ,” Chase continued. \Find a farm that is wrell located as to m arkets and transportation and be sure it is well drained and has pro ductive soil.” To Chase’s recommendation W hite added: \Pick a type of farm your pros pective m arkets w a rrant.” But above all, Blarquardt advised, “Don’t be a farm e r ju s t because your dad was one. You have to like it.” Farm Offers Security The security offered by farm life appeals to Mr. Samuelson. If he were starting over, he said, \I would take advantage of any un usually good opportunity fo r city employment, b u t I would p refer farm ing to mere existence in the city.” He would not go to the city to take any old job, or take a chance on em ployment, he declared. Punching a time clock h as no appeal f o r him. (Bfr. Samuelson lives on the Cat- taraugus-New Albion road. He and his son operate two farm s comprising about 300 acres, of which nearly 106 are planted to crops. Their dairy herd comprises about 40 milking cows, and young stock in proportion. He is a director of the Dairy Herd Improvement Association, o f the County A g ricultural Society, and is in charge of dairy exhibits a t the county fair.)
