FAVOR
AIDING RUSSIA
Convention at Houston on
Record for Recogniz-
ing Soviet

HOUSTON. Texas. May 16.-
Recognition by the United states of
soviet Russia was advocated today
In a resolution placed before the
convention OF the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men.
The resolution was referred to a
special committee for consideration
and report.
The resolution is based on the be-
lief that there exists in the United
States great numbers of unemployed
workers and a need OF manufac-
tured articles in Russia. The "un-
necessary economic blockade"
which the resolution claims to be
halting trade between the United
States and Russia Is blamed for the
two conditions.
There exists in Russia a famine
which Is likely to become the most
ghastly catastrophe In world his
tory" the resolution declares. 1t
declares that there also is shame
full shortage Of clothing. medicines
and manufactured articles. Food.
the motion believes, IL only one OF
Russia's great needs.
Warren Stone, president OF the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engin-
GERS, was to address the convention
at o'clock this afternoon. He was
scheduled to outline plans for the
amalgamation OF the two great
railway orders-The Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen.

It is all well enough when a man

season by winning several pacing

that with old Argot Hal. But when
