Cutting Back Of
Street Corners Is
ASKED By Board

A suggestion that the city ex-
pertinent with the Dallas plan of
cutting back and rounding cor
ners at street intersections in the
business section of the city was
presented the Brownsville Chamber
OF Commerce Tuesday night by z.
A. Rosenthal, president. A COM
mittee composed of J. S. Ford. Mil
ton West and z. A. RosenthaI was
appointed to take the matter up
with the commission at its next
regular meeting.
In discussing the proposal it was
pointed out that approximately 80
per cent Of the traffic accidents in
the business section of the city oc-
cur at the street corners. Dallas.
which also has narrow streets. has
greatly reduced traffic accidents by
cutting back and rounding the cor
ners. This has been done without
disturbing the property line.
The suggestion was made that
the city commission authorize ex-
periments at two Of the intersec-
tons in the business section of the
city, and if the plan proves salts
factory to round off all corners in
those parts Of the city where the
traffic is heavy.

ASK EXTENSION
ON BEACH ROAD
Paving Of 2N Miles On
Booa Chiea Highway
Recommended

Extension Of the concrete paving
on the Boca Chica road approx
mately 2 IA miles northeast Of the
present terminus Of the pavement
was recommended by the board Of
directors Of the Brownsville Cham
a&G of Commerce Tuesday night,
o. fviding the county can make a
Favorable contract.
County Judge o. G. Dancy and
Assistant County Engineer T. G. Da-
Wis we're present and expressed the
opinion that it might be possible to
have the work done as an extension
Of a contract upon which E. P. NC
Ewrath is 10Y engaged.
Discussion of the project centered
around securing by the county OF
a parasite at the beach extending
from Boca Chica to the mouth OF
the Rio Grande. 1t was pointed out
that under the state law the beach
from the point of mean high tide is
puplic property and that the county
could condemn 80 feet back of this,
If necessary, for road purposes.
The fact was brought out that
under the old Mexican grants, that
part Of the beach below extreme
high tide mark is public domain,
and the title to several of the coas-
tai grants in Cameron county was
confirmed in 1853 upon the basis
OF the old Mexican grants. The
Spanish grants gave title to mean
high tide mark.
Mrs. Esperson Stewart Of Houston,
owner Of the land, could not be
reached this week, and an effort
Will be made to secure dedication
OF a parksite as soon as possible.
Paving Of the two-mile extension
will carry the road across the mud
flat east of FL Jardin to the first
hill of the coastal range, and from
that point most Of the road is sand
clay and IS passable in all kinds of
weather. 1t was pointed out by
Judge Dancy that additional pave
ment would be impossible until adj
ditional bonds are sold, but he ex-
pressed the opinion that arrange
ments could be made to finance the
paving OF the 2 1-2 mile extension.
A second resolution was passed
recommending construction Of a
belt highway, extending northwest
from what Is known as the four
posts on Fourteenth street to con-
meet with the Puente Guadalupe and
Paroles Line highways then west
to connect with highway No. II and
the military road. providing a con-
nection around the city and Join
Ing all highways.
Construction Of the Boca Chica
road extension will start in three
weeks IN the event the commission
ers courts accept the recommended
ton Of the chamber of
and is able to secure a satisfactory
contract, and the road probably will
be open before the first OF June
Completion Of this extension will
leave approximately IA miles of dirt
road between Brownsville and Boca
Chica beach.

Potato Acreage In
Wharton, Eagle Lake
District Is Reduced

EAGLE LAKE, Tex, April s.
(P-The potato crop in the Whar-
ton-Eagle Lake sections is coming
along nicely, but with a consider
able decreased acreage compared
with last year. The section from
Egypt on up has 1900 acrs COM
pared with 5000 last year. Glen
Flora has abot the same as a year
ago. 1000 acres. Wharton is cut
fully by so per cent and most Of
the latter acreage is planted with
native sees
These cfops will not come on
quite so early as last year, prob
ably not before May 90. Sugarland
will have about 1000 acres, COM
pared with $500 acres last year.
Reports from east Texas reach
ing here indicate the potato acre
age has been cut practically by one
half. Rains over the district have
kept the ground too moist for
planting. Disappointment last
year likewise has been a factor
IN holding down the crop.

SHOE WORKERS
BEGIN CAMP AICN

The membership of the Independ-
ent Shoe Workers Union of Greater
New York yesterday put their stamp
of approval on the proposed organi-
zation drive the union proposes to
begin and voted unanimously for a
resolution condemning the open shop
gesture of the Vincent Horowitz
Slipper Co. which tried to put over
wage cut ranging from ten to fifty
per cent.
The resolution was voted on after
a decidedly interesting discussion
which took place after the leaders
Of the union had reported on plans
proposed.
Fred Biedenkapp, national secre-
tary of the Workers International
Relief was invited to address the
meeting, and his advice to the work
ers to jump in and organize the in
dustry was received with applause.
This he stated after pointing out
that the American Federation Of La
Dor was no longer interested in or
ganizing the workers, but on the con-
trary its recent history exposed it
as the official agent of the bosses
in disorganizing the workers.
Business Agent Levine, Organizer
j. Magliacano and Joint Council
member Rudiman, were the chief
speakers. Alexanderson, union presi-
dent acted as chairman.

Committee of the League Against

pendence, to world organization of
Anti-Imperialist Leagues. The COM
mittee is in session here, in spite
of attempts by the British and other
imperialist governments to stop
delegates on their way to it.
Cook declared that the spirit of
internationalism must be promoted
amongst the trade union masses to-
gether with propaganda showing the
real character of imperialism. each
country must use its own methods
in the struggle" he continued. He
argued against interference from
outside"

spectacle by the Labor Sports Union
will conclude the entertainment

This epochal demonstration will
also serve to give vigorous express
sion against the plans and maneu-
vers of the incoming Hoover regime
for another world conflagration and
a new period of wholesale slaughter
of workers and peasants.
Resembles Brother.
Cecilio, who is 90 years old, was
often mistaken by the Cuban auth
critics for the revolutionary leader.
He resembles his slain brother as
though they were twins. On one
occasion, Cecilio was accosted by
Havana police and manhandled for
no other reason than that he was
taken for Julio. He is thoroughly
familiar with the brazen tyranny of
the Machado regime, with the fake
legal" proceedings, with the total
disregard for civil justice and with
the outrageous treatment of politi-
cal prisoners. The killing of Julio,
young Mella said last night, has
left his brothers wife and their one
year-old daughter in destitute cir
cumstances.
Julio's shooting by tools of Wall
Street imperialists leaves Cecilio as
the only surviving grandson of Cen
eral Ramon Mella, who led the fight
for the Liberation of San Domingo's
masses from domination by Spain.
Young Mella will lead large dele
cation of Latin American workers
in parade through the Garden to-

Working Women Denounce
Fake Kellogg Peace" Pact

Following their attendance at the
banquet of the Conference for the
Cause and Cure of War, where they
denounced the preparations being
made for imperialist war, women
delegates of a number of working
class organizations issued the fol-
lowing statement.
We, the undersigned representa-
tives of organizations of working
women in the United States, includ-
ing 100000 members, are assembled
in Washington to protest against
the imperialist war drive now being
conducted by the American govern
ment. We protest against both the
Kellogg Peace Pact and the Billion
Dollar Navy Bill, now being stimuli
taneously rushed thru the senate,
and both alike evidences of prepara-
tions for coming world war.
We working women realize that
our terrible conditions of life and
work in America are a result of the
American employers drive FOL
greater profits, are due to the new
developments of great mergers and
trusts, with the tremendous growth
of the financial power of Wall ST..
which is driving toward to world
domination with the aid of it's tool,
the American government of Cool
idge, Hoover and Kellogg.
Scarcely was the Kellogg Pact
ratified yesterday by the senate
with an almost unanimous vote,
scarcely was the ink dry upon It's
pages when there comes up the Is
Cruiser Bill. While piously vowing
to renounce war as an instrument
of national policy at the same time
the government is rushing headlong
towards the next war. We say
more, the Kellogg "Peace" Pact is
passed because the government is
preparing for war, in order to fool
the working class of the country,
which will have to bear the burden
of the next war, into thinking that
all is well and that no war is
threatening. Pacifism is the smoke
screen behind which the government
prepares the next slaughter.
The Women's Conference on the
Cause and Cure of War, now being
held in Washington, is another
manifestation of the same policy.
This conference of well-to-do women,

MEETING BUILDS
STRIKE MACHINE
Second Dress District
Rally Held

Enthusiastic, but yet aware of the
seriousness Of their task, dressmak-
ers employed on 39th and doth SITS.
yesterday held the second strike dis
trict meeting in the auditorium of
the uptown union office, 480 Seventh
Ave.
The workers demonstrated by
their discussion that they were
ready to take up the struggle
against the bosses and the socialist
company union, for the right to
human working conditions and for
the right to membership in union
that will not sell out their hard
fought-for working standards.
After hearing a report by the rep
resentatives from the general Of
flee, the workers set about taking
the organizational steps necessary
to insure the greatest response to
the strike call when it is issued.
Two committees, one for each
block, were elected by the workers.
These committees have as their task
the establishment of building com
mittees which will take directives
from the union office, carry on pro-
paganda for the strike, distribute
leaflets, assist in making a survey
of all dress shops in their blocks
and buildings, call workers out to
join the strike when the call is
issued.
The next step in the mobilization
for the general strike in the dress
making industry, was announced
from the headquarters yesterday. A
general meeting of all active mem
bers in the cloak, dress and fur
trades will be held next Tuesday
night in Webster Hall, 11th St. and
Third Ave. Full reports of the work
done for the projected strike will
be made by the leaders of the union.
After full discussion, the meeting
will take up for decision new plans
to be set in motion Immediately.
