This raises the question of whether such an ad ministrative regulation would violate Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution by depriving property owners of their rights without due process of law. The provision also violates California trespass laws which give any individual the right to bar trespassers from his property. “Proposition 14 also provides for ex tension of coercive secondary boycotts and adoption of so-called elective procedures that have permitted UFW par' isans to vote in California farm labor law elections without clear identification or established elective eligibility. “The UFW initiative program implies total abandonment of federal procedures for secret ballots that farmers and workers have sought for a long time. “Proposition 14 would prevent the state legislature from making any changes in the law or procedure no matter how badly growing world-wide demand for American farm products.

For all practical purposes, the legislation would take away any jurisdiction of the state legislature in farm labor laws,” Grant said. In answer to a question by a Los Angeles Times reporter last week on national farm labor legislation, the California farm labor board and Proposition 14, Grant said the Democrat Presidential candidate replied: “My own inclination would be to hold off on national farm labor legislation while I see how the California plan works. On Proposition 14, it follows the pattern of established legislation and I think basically I would have no objection to it.” Carter,” Grant said, “is in total error in saying that Proposition 14 follows the pattern of established legislation. Its provisions obviously do not follow the pattern of the California Agricultural Relations Act which the California Farm Bureau Federation initially endorsed.with the understanding that its implementation would follow the FARMING. The occasion was the unveiling of the new series “86” tractors and a variety of other equipment. While the showing here was exclusively for dealer, distributors, and members Monday, September 20, at the other district shows in the state. The following were the results erf that show. pattern of the National Labor Relations Act Proposition 14 does not follow this pattern.” Grant said that this is the second time that Governor Carter has indicated sup port for Proposition 14. “In April of this year, Governor Carter voiced support for the initiative referendum in a telephone speech to a Los Angeles convention of the Mexican- American Political Association. We issued a statement April 23 stating that Governor Carter apparently did not understand much about UFW’s Proposition 14,” Grant said. “Governor Carter called me and ex plained that he had misunderstood the question and meant only to voice support for the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act." Grant said that Governor Carter’s reply in the interview this week “can only be viewed as an endorsement of Proposition 14, and he certainly can’t claim that he misunderstood the question this time.” of the press, IH will take the wraps off their new machines next Saturday for all to see. hi his remarks, Kaine said he sees good supplies of farm equipment, in contrast to the HOLSTEIN Junior Calf 1.
