pending an investigation into the

establish a federal charge against
Bruno, who is claimed to be promi
nent in the "white slave trade
and according TO fhe Mexican of
ficials has been instrumental in
bringing several girls to Mexieali
IN the past few months, where he
forced them TO become inmates of
various resorts.

/ According to Mrs. Jordan, the ear
in which her daughter-in.law was
travelling, belonged to the latter s
husband, who died several months
ago. 1t is believed Bruno also in
tended to get possession Of the ear,
once he had succeeded in getting
Mrs. Day where she could not get
away.
Mrs. Jordan readily identified
Edwin as her grandson and was
overjoyed to find the little fellow
unharmets and safe. She expects to
remain in FL Centre pending dis
position of her daughter in law E
ease. The authorities state that no
charge is contemplated against the
latter, though she is wanted rs n
material witness against Bruno.
The local officials were prOfuse
in their praise of the part taken ir
the case by the Mexieali police. Tn
der orders from Governor l.ugo
they were instructed to render
every assistance possible to thu
American officers. District At
torney Utley stated this morning
this is only one instance of sever
al in recent months, where the cap
ture of criminals wanted for crim'
n this country, has been made pos
sible only through the cooperation
OF the Mexican officials. Grim
inals from either country who be

the district attorney, the policy o.
the peace officers being to elimir

criminals crossing the line int
Mexico are speedily deported ant
turned over to the authorities here
the reverse process being FOLLOWED
in the case of Mexican criminal

RURAL PROGRESS
IN ENGLAND SLOW
By LYLE G. WILSON
United Press Staff C0rrespOnden

United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, April 2.--s'L Labor is
snagged in its march toward politi-
cal supremacy,
This was the statement of Arthur
Henderson, NJ. p, organizer of
Labor's electoral victories, in an ex-
elusive statement to the United
Press. Henderson continued:
1.-The chief difficulty hes in the
agricultural constituencies. Indus
trial Britain is now predominantlv
Labor, but the progress In rural
England is slow.
Until England's under-paid, un-
der-fed and poorly housed agrieul-
tural wage-earners spring into the
Labor balance. Labor is checked in
its endeayor to capture sufficient
votes to insure the formation of a
Labor government.
"In the purely or mainly rural
constituencies of the southern half
of England, the Tories are pretty
well consolidated. Labor must over
come this Tory resistance in order
TO wipe ont the existing adverse
balance against tho Labor party
Farmer Labor Combine
"a Farmer-Labor combine has
been attempted, Henderson said,
"but on quite different lines from
those followed in such combinations
in America. Here the plan has been
to establish an agricultural bloc, or
agrarian party, directed. controlled
and financed by farming en-
ployees.
Henderson believes such move
ment here has but slight chance Of
success.
Farm labor must come into la
boris ranks without the hyphen,
was the intimation, he said. Farm
owners declare they cannot increase
the present low wages without state
subsidy in one form or another.
Henderson and his colleagues are
opposed TO protection, but favor O
system of credit facilities.
Impoverished conditions n
rura. England have seriously affect
cd agricultural Labor organiza-
tions, Henderson said. Until
farm labor realizes that improve
ments can best be achieved by the
combined efforts of Industrial and
political organizations and support
Labor candidates as whole hearted
~ as do the town workers, the rural
constituencies will remain bar 10
eIabor's progress 10 political power
and control"
