port OF entry is seen by K. @. Buck
ley, agent Of Cha. Mexicana de Avia-
cion. in the formation Of the Kan
sas City Brownsville passenger line
which will probably be in operation
this month.
This port grows daily. says Mr..
Buckley. and officials believe 1t will
soon leave far behind the import
ant port Of Miami. Passengers 60
ing to southern republics had rather
fly all the way over land, in the
agents opinion.
Aviation business in Mexico has
been steady, Buckley said. with a
decided increase during the period
of the Inauguration ceremonies in
Mexico City.
The "Reminiscences of the Mex
lean is much greater than one might
imagine. the air official said. Trans
p~ortation from Tampico to Mexico
City and Merida is considerable
greater than on this end Of the line,
despite the low percentage of Mex
leans financially able to travel by
air.
A passenger line from New Orleans
via Houston to Brownsville is be-
lieved one Of the next necessary
steps fer the growth Of this port.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-tP-A
thorough going Investigation Of
prohibition conditions will be In
dertaken tomorrow by the House
Judiciary committee. promising a
protracted continuation OF the con-
troversy that has been in progress
for two months.
Chairman Graham has announc-
ed that all who so desire will be
heard. and a long list Of witnesses,
speaking for the anti-prohibition
side OF the argument has been an
nounced.
The investigation will be in
cidental to hearings on proposals
for the repeal Of the Eighteenth
amendment. A subcommittee Is TO
conduct hearings on measures TO
modify the anti-liquor laws.
Representative Schafer, republic
an, Wisconsin. intends TO demand
an investigation OF prohibition ad-
m~inistration in the district Of Chi
cago and in the state OF Washing
ton. He expects TO ask such an in
quiry Of the judiciary committee

Meanwhile. a resolution for a
general senate investigation OF
prohibition conditions rested in the
Judiciary committe TO which II was
referred yesterday after its intro
duction by Senator Wheeler, demo-
crat. Montana. who voted dry in

The prospects for committee &C
ton are indefinite, but Wheeler
says he intends 70 get behind the
measure and demand consideration
at an early time. However. If the

LABOR VIEWS
ARE EXPLAINED
Brownsville Man Declares
He Opposes Moving
Men From Valley

Speaking on a proposition made
by the immigration committee Sc
lected at a mass meeting held in
the San Benito Chamber Of Com
merce on November 6, 1929, where
by the Water District OF the VAL
ley, acting through the joint as
ISOLATION of district manager. were
invited to get behind the movement
to raise campaign funds in amount,
OF SIS 10000 TO carry on their
plans, c. Y. Hunter Of Brownsville
today further explains his position
on the subject as follows:
Il am opposed 10 any attempt to
saddle the burden of this campaign
on the irrigation districts Of the
Valley because there are large in
terests not represented in any ir-
rigation district. which should bear
their part of the burden. Further.
/ am opposed to the proposition be-
cause it Is a sort Of double header
affair, one objective being the pro-
lection OF the labor W. have here
now against illegal deportation and
cruel and unjust treatment by bor-
der patrol officers. with which aim
I heartily agree ard would gladly
support. but I am unwilling to APP
propriate district taxes to send
lobbyists to Washington to work
for unrestricted immigration. since
I do not believe a peon wage scale
ever made any country prosperous.
/ feel that a restricted immigra-
ton bill may be found to be a
blessing in disguise both TO en-
ployers and employees"
Mr.. Hunter wishes it emphasized
that he is directly opposed to re-
moval Of Mexicans now in the
Valley.

This bill would have the Commits

the actual damage Of the perishable
product is and what the price shall
be when a dispute arises between
the shipper and the receiver" said
j. G. Briggs. president Of the Pota-
to Shippers and Growers Association
Of Maine. who said his organization
supports the bill.
Mr.. Briggs said the dealers at
present have to make the best pos
sible adjustment with the receivers
when dispute arises. instead Of 60
ing to court. II believe this bill would
promote fair dealings, he told the
Committee.
"A dealer in Boston recently told
me-" said MIR. Briggs, that he could
not be honest in carrying out his
contracts with dealers because Of
the dishonesty OF his competitors"
MI. Briggs said the potato grow
r and dealers IN Maine had no OBJ
jecticn to a cooperative association
under the agricultural marketing
act and that this bill would not be
IN conflict with such an association
but he said there always will be in
dependent shippers who would not

and that they always would feel the
effects Of fraudulent brokers if thi.
