Unauthorized local strikes are frowned on by union higher-ups and are rare...
...well-to-do, wavy-haired Lawyer Ban croft has interested himself in raising pears and walnuts across the Bay from San Francisco. By his activities in Associated Farmers of California, which fought unionization of farm workers, he has earned the enmity of Labor. He has urged that to obtain local Relief, "Californians" be required to prove five years' residence; for old age pensions, 15 years' residence (instead of five years as in the "Ham & Eggs'' proposal...
