WANT LABOR MEMBERS
OUT OF The CABINET
Agrarians Decide to Ask President
Gales to Eliminate Opposite
Faith From Administration

Mexico City. July - P-The
union OF revolutionary parties. III
which the agrarians are represented,
decided during a meeting last night
to petition President Gales to elimi-
nate all members OF the labor party
from the administration. The union
was not satisfied with the resiena-
tons of Luis Morones, m. mister of
labor; Celestino Gasca, chief OF or
dinance supplies, and Eduardo Mon
eda who withdrew from the gov
eminent after agrarian leaders had
asserted that labor leaders We're the
psychological authos' OF the assas-
sination OF General Alvaro Obregon.
The union also decided to request
the Obregonista blocs in both houses
of congress to eXpel the laborite
deputies and senator's
A committee was appointed TO find
a means to obtain the dismissal of
those state governors who were
either members of the labor party
or We're guilty of serious outrages."
The meeting was characterized by
a radical change of attitude on the
part Of the agrarians who, instead
OF threatening civil war. counselled
serenity.
Aurelio Manrique, who on last
Friday while demanding the resigna-
ton of Morones showed a decided
inclination toward the use of force
OF arms said:
We do not counsel disorder. We
want action to be guided by reason
and experience although we must in
sist upon the demands Of justice. We
should not seek war until all re-
sources are exhausted. We want a
union of all revolutionists but not
mixed with undesirable elements.
We must have the laborites expelled
from the administration"

TO GET CONVENTION
Democrats Will Probably
Hold Their Gathering
in Elm City

New Haven. Aug. 8 P-While
definite decision is to be Ilade it
is likely that the democratic state
convention next month will be held
in this city. Waterbury has not
asked for the convention, and
Bridgeport does not want it.
The spring convention was in
Hartford and following custom the
September convention would come
here. Music hall may be the only
hall available and democrats are
familiar with that as many conven-
tlons and gatherings have been held
in it during the past twenty years.
The call for primaries to choose
delegates to the state convention
probably will be issued early next
week. State headquarters here have
been in touch with town chairmen
since the meeting of the state COM
mlttee at Hartford Wednesday and
the machinery needed to start work
for the primaries is already func-
tioning.
Since Wednesday the number of
candidates for places on the state
ticket has materially increased. The
list OF aspirants for places on the
party ticket for presidential electors
also is growing
The lack of desire Of Bridgeport
for the convention was expressed in
letter from John A. Cornell. town
chairman. which was sent to the
state chairman.

Prof. Hopkins. a speaker before

science hopes to get to the real
bottom OF the temperature scale
socalled absolute zero
At this point. it was explained,
molecules cease to move. Every.
thing stands still. Man couldn't
exist In anything near such temper
ature. The lowest temperature al
present has been obtained by means
of solid helium.
Prof. Hopkins. one Of the worlds
authorities on the subject OF ele-
ments, is the discoverer OF illinium
the last Of the rare earths to be
discovered. 1t is the only one o!
the 80 elements which has been dis
covered by an American.
