LONDON, May 13.-Opening the

Ramsay Macdonald, the parliament

to continue industry under peaceful
conditions.
Mr.. Macdonald said that if any at

LONDON, MAY l3.-Great Britain's
nine day general strike, called off
Yesterday, switched toaay TO what
labor regarded as a widespread lock
out by the employers against union
men seeking to return to work on
the old status.
This development came as one of
the most dramatic of all those in. the
disturbed days since the industrial
upheaval began. What ii ~amounted
to, according TO labor men, was a
disposition on the part of the en-
ployers to smash union influence rs
far as possible.
The trades union congress. which
conducted the general strike and an
nounced its termination yesterday,
accepted the gage and in q fighting
statement declared the Trades Unions
would resist TO the utmost "any at
tcmpts 10 impose humiliating terms
on the workers.
Resistance Unimpr0vcd."
Our resisting power is unimpair-
ed IL asserted.
Throughout the country the unions
and employers were deadlocked-th the
unions demanding unqualified rein
statement Of the strikers and the en-
ployers declining to deal with them
except on their own terms These in
some cases called for tearing up the
union cards. and there was even re-
fusal in certain instances to rc-em-
ploy the strikers at all.
The Trade Union congress which
placed the situation in the hands Of
the individual unions when it called
off the general strike was in a state
of utmost anxiety as reports arrived
from the provinces. II had in
effect relinquished direct CON
troll of the situation. AS reports piled
in, however. the +. L. c. council init
mated it might have to resume charge
and asked the government to define
its attitude toward the employers con
ditions.
Then came another general meeting
Of the council. after which the
4. Y. g. headquarters issued its
statement Of warning.
Debate In Commons
/ Meanwhile, Premier Baldwin an
nounced that the house Of commons
would debate the strike situation at
$3.50 o'clock this evening. The
opinion was expressed in the lobby
OF the house that this was the out
come of a formal demand from the
laborites after a meeting of the par
liamentary labor party.
Thus the battle which the coun-
try last night thought had been
settled, continues. But instead Of
the massed fighting which proceed
cd during the nine days Of the gen
cral strike il has developed for the
time being into a hand to hand con
flict to determine whether organized
| labor or the employers shall rule.
Instead Of the resumption Of nor
NAL conditions, an announcement
came from the government that the
emergency food services would be
maintained.
Good conveys, with armed escorts.

today, and the scenes of yesterday
were repeated throughout, with the
populace still walking.

The labor Spokesman added that

quired that the largest body of men
possible be brought back TO work ct

I'm OUR
VALLEY

OMEHOW, some way, a rumor
- went the rounds in Brownsville
yesterday that an 1s-inch rain had
fallen in Corpus Christi during the
day.
Eighteen inches Of rain is equal 10
- foot and half depth Of water over
flat space.
Which is considerable water. Those
who experienced the 10-inch rain in
Brownsville last September can well
imagine what an lS-inch rain would
be like.
The Herald heard the rumor. The
weather bureau said there was moth
ing to IL. The rumor persisted into
the night. IL was discussed in bar
ber shops, in restaurants, in other
places Of gathering.
As matter Of fact, IL any rain at
NIL fell in Corpus Christi Wednes-
day II wasn't enough to register on
the United States Weather Bureau.
Funny, isn't it, how persistent
false report can be. And if il were
not FOR the newspapers, it would con-
tinue on its rounds until it died for
sheer lack of interest.
The FL Jardin folks are talking of
an elaborate plan for draining the
district; that is, getting the surplus
water off and away.
The FL Jardin landowners realize
the necessity for draining their
lands. They know the value Of ade-
quate facilities for ritding the land
OF water that already has served its
purpose.
Saturday night they will meet at
the community house to listen to
Charles p. Williams findings on the
question of, draining III Jardin. They
VIII hear the reasons why, after
which they will discuss proposals
to vote an issue of 81, ,000, 900 to carry
out the project.
III Jardin can be made the choice
farming community of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley. One way to
reach that pinnacle is to drain the
lands.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley
Water Users Association, of which
! W. W. Houser Of La Feria is presi-
dent. is energetically active in behalf
of the passage of the Swing johnson
bill. now pending in congress, and
doing everything possible to have the
measure become a law before the
close of the present session.
The Swing johnson bill provides

vide water over new routes for the
farmers of the Imperial Valley.
Farmers are being urged to write
