Police Unable To Link Deaths Of 9 Women BURLINGAME, Calif (UPI) A 10-year bitter and sometimes violent struggle over the bargaining rights of the field hands in the West has ended with an agreement between the Teamsters Union and Cesar United Farm Workers. The pact, in effect, allows the AFL-CIO UFW to become the union representative for just about all field hands while the Teamsters Union will retain jurisdiction over commercial packing sheds and off-farm transportation of crops.

Chavez said, 10 years later, and both of us are fed up with fighting each He added that the UFW would now to able to throw its full weight into organizing field hands without expending needed money and energy into fighting the Teamsters. The agreement covers the 13 Western states and will remain in effect for five years. The labor leaders said that after two years faith negotiations for a national agreement will be Last summer under a new state farm labor law representational elections were held throughout farm areas.

The UFW won most. As current contracts expire, the Teamsters agreed to withdraw. However, the Teamsters will keep some, but not all, of the pacts negotiated prior to 1970. Chavez began his drive for organizing farm workers in the early 1960s in the vineyards around Delano in the Central Valley. The Teamsters then entered the picture but within a short time decided against trying to get into the agricultural union business.

However, as the UFW began making big inroads the Teamsters again entered the competition. The battle escalated into arrests and acts of violence as well as bitter charges and countercharges. In announcing the agreement, Chavez said, hope the growers will now give up their anti-union fight and realize the time has come to give workers their Anderson said his union was giving up about 12,000 members. Chavez could not give an immediate estimate of his membership because it changes with the agricultural seasons. In Sacramento, Gov.

request to keep domestically produced gas in Ohio might boomerang and place the state at the mercy of major southwestern sources next winter. But the utility officials said Thursday they are willing to go along with the idea of using interstate pipelines for transporting Ohio gas within the state if they find it legally sound. Rhodes asked Columbia Gas to take steps immediately to increase production, transportation and storage capacity of natural gas in Ohio, and to refrain from sending Ohio gas to any other states. He gave the company until March 16 to respond. Fred Laird, executive vice president of the parent Columbia Gas System, headquar- Taxes (Continued from Page One) 10,000 Strabala also stated that he has received many letters and telephone calls, inquiring as to the reason for the large increase in rates in Knox Township, West Branch School District, North Georgetown Fire Department, which was increased 9.1 mills, and Homeworth Fire Department, 10.1 mills.

Strabala said the breakdown for the increase is: l.a five-mill levy voted for the schools passed for the 1976 tax year; 2. a 1.5 mill retarded school building levy also voted for 1976 collection; 3. a 1.1 general fund rate increase over and above the 1975 tax year; 4. a 0.5 bond rate increase over the 1975 tax year; 5. a 1 mill voted fire levy in Knox Twp Homeworth 6.

A 0.9 mill voted Mahoning County Vocational School operating levy, and 7. a 0.1 mill increase in the Mahoning Valley County Vocational School debt reduction. Strabala pointed out that all of the above levies were voted on by the people with the exception of items 3, 4, and 7. These would have been passed upon by the Mahoning Budget Commission. The MBC has taken the action since the West Branch School District is an overlapping district between the two counties, he concluded.

But Laird said the concept of refusing to share Ohio gas in the Columbia system would be difficult to realize think have to be cautious about going in this added White, president of Columbia Gas of Ohio, pointing out that a rights" attitude could result in Texas and Louisiana the on Ohio in the future and withholding large gas shipments. not concerned about Pennsylvania or West Rhodes said in describing his plan to Laird and White a meeting in his office. concerned about Ohio.
