pay him $3.50 a share for stock of the
Stutz Motor Car Company which they

NORTH GAINING
In MOMENTUM
San Fernando Garrison Is Re-
ported to Have Gone Over
TO the Rebels

Defcctions among CarranZa troops
in Tamaulipas are gaining momen-
tum, reports filtering across the bor-
der here Saturday indicating that
following closely on the heels of Col
onel Gallegos' revolt at Linares.
.Nuevo Leon, near the Tamaulipas
line, the Carranza garrison at San
Fernando, ninety miles south Of
Matamoros, rebelled and is said to
have joined with General Juan An
drew Almaizan, an unconquered reb-
el leader whose forces have been in
tact for two years. The San Fer
nando garrison numbered about fifty
men. The defections, however, in
volve small and scattered garrisons.
That there is growing unrest i
further indicated in the arrival in
Matamoros yesterday Of reinforce
ments Of about two hundred federal
soldiers, bringing the garrison to
three hundred, the largest it has been
i'm five years. General Rafael Colun-
ga. commander, requested the rein
forcements, which came from Mon
terrey.
Confirmation of the reported San
Fernando detection was not had in
Matamoros last night, where Senior
Cardenas, the district president. stat
ed that he was in conversation with
the jefe de poltico at San Fernando
over the telephone early Saturday,
and nothing had been said regarding
any .rouble in that district.
Reports reached Brownsville last
night that train had been blown up
on the Tampico- Monterrey branch of
the Mexican National, interrupting
traffic. Some credence is given this
report. due to the virtually confirmed
detection Of the garrison at Linares,
which is located on that branch.
The train which was due to reach
Matamoros Friday night from Mon
terrey did not arrive until Saturday
morning. and il was not known in
Matamoros late Saturday whether it
would start for Monterrey this morn
ing.

The closing down Of plants will

Our situation is very serious and we
need the help of the strong arm of
the government. Is it afraid to act?"
Mr.. Mccormick was asked to renew
his effort to get the railroad labor
board away from the Washington
atmosphere.
How can the board justify its po-
sition not to deal with the situation
except under certain conditions?"
the manufacturers asked. "Jurisdic-
