.RANCHERS AND

HARDING TALK
President-Elect Abandons
Fishing to Deliver
Texas Address.

Brownsville, Texas, Nov. IL
Omitted Press.) - President-elect
Warren G. Harding abandoned his
fishing today and came here to
make an Armistice day speech, his
drst set address since his election.
1t was with some difficulty and
no little personal discomfort that
the sunburned president-elect got
into his starched shirt and high col
lar today. He has grown fond of
the soft shirt, broad hayseed hat,
the loose brown denim trousers and
the soft canvas shoes he has worn
since arriving here.
Brownsville was gaily decked out
for the big day which is to COM
memorate not only Armistice day
but the completion Of preliminary
arrangements looking to opening Of
harbor at Point Isabel which is
expected to aid in development of
the entire lower Rio Grande valley.
Nearly every town for a hundred
miles around had delegation here
today. Governor Hobby Of Texas
was expected. .f..
Harding had a picturesque set
ting for his appearance here, almost
foreign one. Little old Mexican
lacemakers sat cross-legged in
front of their tiny shops with their
wares piled high around them, bar
gaining with visitors for sale.
Ranchers came in with their high
boots white with the dust of the
plains. Sombreros and bright-col-
ored shirts added variety to the
scenes in the narrow streets. Bur
ros and donkey carts clattered over
the cobblestones, lodging the big
high-powered autos of the more
prosperous ranchers. Mexicans
came over from Matamoras and
watched stolidly out of their darA
eyes. In contrast with this motley
scene were the cleancut American
! soldiers from the post who formed
an escort for Senator Harding.
He was to speak from the parade
ground at Fort Brown. The Ameri.
can Legion is in charge of the day'i
program.

Plants as Government
Ultimatum Expires.

Berlin, Nov. 11.-German work
ers seized metal factory here to-
day and extinguished the fires.
The other factories were invaded
simultaneously.
The seizure of the metal factory
was evidently carried out by the
workers in emulation of the Italian
strikers who captured and held
plants in Italy during the recent
labor disturbance there.
This was the first instance OF
anything Of the kind in Germany
and the government Immediately
rushed measures for meeting the
new menace.
Police reserves and detachments
of troops were held in readiness
for action in event that the seizure
Of factories should result in fight
ing or develop into another Spar
tacan outbreak.
Agitators were reported invading
plants where there had been nc
difficulties, endeavoring to urge
workers to Join a general strike.
