STORES CLOSE
In MATAMOROS
Sympathizers With Strike
OF Chauffeurs Union
Shutting Down

The strike OF the chauffeurs' I'M
ion in MatamoroS in protest against
increased taxes was beginning to
paralyze other lines of business
Wednesday. Numerous grocery
stores, markets, etc, were closing
their doors on customers, as a SYM
pathetic measure toward the chauf-
feurS' strike.
The situation is not regarded as
serious, however.
The highway between Matamoros
and Santa Cruz was lined with
people forced to walk because of
the importation Of the regular bus
lines.
A group Of the chauffeurs keep
vigil at the foot of the bridge on
the Mexican side to see that there
was no ~infraction of the strike.
American cars are free to come
and go but the chauffeurs are warn
ing them against picking up pc
deStrians. American service cars
may operate from this side Of the
river.
Fifteen organizations, including
AAC4 S4AGAAOo, PA4fdOC OW1AC4o dAA0
others are cooperating in the
strike, according to Roberto Coma
les, president of the chauffeurs' I'M
ion. The same cooperation is be-
ing given at Laredo, he said.
Matamoros merchants have indi-
Gated they will close their places
Of business if relief is not given by
the state government, he said.
Reports that cars from the United
States had been. moleSted were de-
MED by Gonzales. I'VE welcome Wis
itors to Matamoros and will not
interfere with them in any way"
he said. I'VE do ask them not to
offer a ride to pedestrians who al
ready are in Mexico, as it will weak
IN the strike. However, no Ameri-
can cars will be molested in any
way"
The tax, which is imposed by the
state, is about SAL per car regard
less of model or size.
state officials claim the money
will be used to construct roads, but
we have paid road taxes for many
years and nothing concrete ever has
been DONE" Gonzales said, The
president Of the local union said
state officials claim that the tax
has been paid by all other cities
in the state except ..atamoroS and
Laredo.

DETROIT MAKES
LIQUOR PROBE
Wholesale Importations b.
Rum Runners Come Up
For Investigation

DETROIT, April 17.-P]-Liquor
selling in the Detroit area today was
the So ject of Investigations or trials
By federal, state, county and city
enforcement agencies.
The police trial board had before
it the cases Of Capt. Joseph A.
Burkeiser and Sgt. Edward Shaw,
accused Of cooperating with rum
runners.
In federal court, IL former Unit
ed States border customs patrol in
spectors faced trial on charges OF
accepting brides from importers"
Seven former inspectors have plead
ed guilty to the charge.
Federal officials were trying TO
learn what became of 365 rum run
ners' boats that disappeared after
seizure while smuggling liquor.
Asserted that rum runners employ
speed boats which outrun United
States patrol boats and land liquor
at Detroit docks in daylight have
been met by enforcement Officers
with explanations that the service
has been d~emoralized by wholesome
indictments against customs 1nSpec-
tors.
On the other hand recent efforts
of all enforcement agencies have
caused rum running to be regarded
as a more hazardous occupation
than formerly. Enactment OF the
Jones law has brought statements
from many b~ootleggers and run
runners, according to local newspa-
pers, that the business was becom-
ing too dangerous, that they were
quitting. 1t has been asserted thai
little if any Canadian beer Is be-
ing brought across the river ano
