What Price Conflict

The majority Of the citizens of Harrington appar-
emily have decided to let by-gones be by-gones and
unite in a drive to bring the Intracoastal canal from
Corpus Christi all the way to Point Isabel and Har-
Iingen. Working together with the rest Of the Valley
they will succeed. without complete unity their eff
forts win result in failure.
And why shouldn't there be unity? Way down here
IN the Tip Of Texas. we have the most wonderful
Valley in the world. If we work together, we shall en-
10Y the greatest prosperity and progress. Every town
and every community in the Valley fills its individual
niche in the scheme of things. Why shouldn't each
one be content to develop what 1t has and not covet its
neirhbors' possessions? Why shouldn't we more than
1850 citizens Of the Valley work together for one
common end. the future Of our Wonderland?
The towns, the people and their interests are so
closely. aligned In the Valley that there IS no room
for petty jealousies or differences. This Is Just a
small. richly blessed section Of Texas. of the United
states. or the world. It should be known everywhere
az the United Valley" We should cash In on WHIT
We have at a much faster pace. One balky mule can
hold up a whole parade.
There Is no great opposition to unity in the Valley
but there is not enough Of 1t. Something should be
done about It. Two steps in this direction which The
Herald advocates is valley-wide support Of efforts
To bring the intracoastai canal here and of attempts
DO organize a Better Business Bureau in the Valley.
The canal, along with the ports at Brownsville and
Point Isabel will bring more business and cheaper
freight rates. The bureau will put business On a high
er scale and drive out unethical operators in all lines.
No forward march ever was made with dissention In
the ranks.

The Once Over
TUNING OUT ON A QUARTERLY REPORT


Copyright, 1890, by The Associated Newspapers)
The Radio Corporation Of America will omit its
regular quarterly report to stockholders by special
permission Of the Stock Exchange. It will give auto
graphed photos OF Amos n Andy instead.
The report was already a month late before this an
nouncement was made, but most stockholders were not
alarmed over not getting it. They thought it must be
weak batteries.
The Radio Corporation says the shareholders will
have to wait until the end Of the first six months. at
which time it may give the complete report with tele-
vision pictures.

Business is good. the Radio Corporation insists, but
a little too complicated to make ideal entertainment
for the average home-ovner with a four-bulb set.
The ruling leaves stockholders in a position where
they can get an idea of the Radio Corporations fl
nancial situation only by listening at the loudspeaker
during a lightning storm.
The suggestion is made by Elmer Twitchell that, to
facilitate matters and make the financial statement
clearer to the general public. the seni-annual report
be made direct from the bookkeeping department by
Graham McNamee, play by play.

strikers received a report from a
committee that a visit had been
made to the plant and that officials
there declared all strikers were dis
charged and, if they returned to
work, must do so as new employees,
hired through the employment
office.
Strikers heard reports, also, that
stocks Of body materials were run

plant seems imminent.
Officials at the plant today re-
fused to comment on the strike sit
uation. The strikers demand 81 an
