SURVEY DISCLOSES WAGE SCALE OF ORANGE PICKERS OF COUNTY Rumored prospects of a citrus pickers' strike this year, and publication of an extensive list of reported demands by pickers, today concentrated attention on the situation, as it refers to the actual earnings of pickers, and how the packing industry looks at the possibility of a strike. Some light was thrown on the question by a survey last Friday and Saturday, covering the payrolls of 16 packing houses for both this year and last year. These packing houses were scattered from La Habra to Tustin, and their managers were united in declaring that if the pickers are well advised, they will not strike; not this year. Higher Salary The average hourly wage earned by the pickers in the 16 houses covered by the survey, is 42.6 cents per hour; 25 pay-roll sheets were totaled to get this figure. That is for the present year. Last year's pay, because of a shorter corp and more difficult picking conditions, was a trifle lower. This year the average may rise because some of the earnings compiled to make the grand total represent earnings on scattered picking, in some cases for size. But the nearly forty-three cent figure represents good pay. It also bears out the reiterated statement made by county citrus men that agriculture labor here in the best paid in the country. Translated into terms of seasonal earning, the valencia picker last year was able to earn from sixty to seventy dollars per month. This year the average will rise considerably. Most managers thought an estimate of eighty dollars reasonable for a man who was rated a good picker and who could be persuaded to work at the job six days a week.
