Farmers Plan
'PolUer Strike

MERGED, Calf, Nov. IA. U.P)-
A power strike" in MADEIRA county
whereby farmers wou,6 pay but hall
their electric power bills under pre-
sent rates, was urged today by the
United Farmers league.
The strike" was called as after
math of a dispute between the
league and the San Joaquin Light
81 Power company over discontin-
uance of power to Leonard D. Blue,
Chowchilla rancher.
Blues power was shut off fol-
lowing his asserted failure to pay
monthly bills. At mass meeting OF
the league, the power was restored
to the ranch, league members tap
ping the power company's lines. The
company, it was understood prompt
ly shut off the power again.
The United Farmers league, be-
sides demanding drastic rate cuts,
proposed to restore power to ranch
es where it was discontinued for
lack of full payments.

COUNTY RELIEF
PROGRAM TOLD
Continued From Page II

cure help in the harvesting of their
crops due to the fact that men were
more inclined tc work for the high
er relief program wages than for
! the smaller amount offered by the
farmer who could not give more
/ due to his own difficult circum-
stances. rsr4-
Wage Scales Discussed
In explanation of this situation
it was shown by H. E. Lounsbury
that the S2.40 per day offered by
the relief program as. against the
S1.50 daily wage given by the farm
erS, does not represent steady work.
He outlined the program saying
that before anyone can be put on
the relief rolls he must first make
application after which an inveSti-
cation is made of his case to de-
termine whether or not he is actu-
ally in need.
Single men doing such work are
given but five days a month at the
rate of $40 per day, those. with
dependents are given 10 days a
month at this rate while the farm
er can give a regular month IS work
at the lower rate which in the long
run will amount to more money.
In cases where employment had
been offered by the farmers and
refused because the higher wage
was sought, such names have been
taken from the rolls and men will
not be permitted to take the min
imum budget amount rather than
go to work in other fields.
Professor w. A. Payne was intro
duced by Judge McPherrin and
spoke in behalf of the Negroes of
the valley in reference to employ
ment. He stated that in his opin-
ion, cleaned from a knowledge of
his own race, those Negroes who
did turn down certain offers of
work in order to go on the relief
program from which their names
were later removed, did SO not be-
cause they were afraid of hard
work but with the purpose of max
ing the best possible bargain under
the circumstances. These men,
Professor Payne said, had been
offered the sum of rs cents per
100 pounds to pick cotton At this
rate they would have to picka'400
pounds of cotton in a day in order
to receive what could have been
made under the RFC program at
less labor.
In conclusion Judge McPherrin
spoke on the seriousness of present
conditions throughout the country
and efforts which are being made
to work out of them day by day.
He impressed upon his listeners the
fact that a year ago. there was no
employment in the valley but now
a man in need can work at a wage
! (s150 per day. which will supply
the necessities of life and help the
ranchers to get their work done
and thus save the expenditure of
relief money for other cases.
A vote of thanks and confidence
to DR.. Dupont and his associated
workers was voiced by those present
and it was also agreed that similar
meetings will be held from time to
time when thought necessary.

great crowd assembled at noon to-
day to see Sarge Cole, former Roy
al Northwest Mounted policeman
get started on his endurance adven-
ture of driving a stock Chevy"
for 100 hours without rest. Before
his left arm was chained to the
wheel by Police Chief j. Sterling
OSwalt, Sarge made a little i'm
promptu address to the crowd,
drawing attention to his offer OF
$1,000 reward to any person VINO,
with two reputable witnesses, can
catch him asleep at the wheel dur
ing the run of four continuous days
and nights.
Sarge announced flatly that he
would not race with any person

ranged. He warned motorists not TO
cut in ahead of him. Sarge's at
tempts to turn the car at a high
rate of speed or break it down, will
be made in vacant lots and not out
on the streets and highways, he
announced.
The Chevrolet caravan parade
then got under way, headed by
motorcycle policeman, proceeded
east on Main street TO the city linn
its and then back to Womack's S
with Sarge in his advertising sign
bespangled machine in the rear OF
his escort of 20 cars. The process
sion was headed by Lew Dudley's
orchestra from the Pom Pom club.
Much amusement was added to the
parade by the lusty believing of
Sarges mournful cowhorn, which
had been presented to him before
the start by F. H. Mitchell, sales
manager at Womack's.
j. A. Sinclair, deputy sealer of
weights and measures sealed the
engine before the start ole Bush
checked the generator, starter and
speedometer which were covered and
sealed.
Gets Big Sleep
Sarge took a full u hours sleep
before the gruelling test of the en-
durance of car, man and acceSSor-
les. He arose at 10 o'clock and pro-
ceeded to Womack's to supervise
the servicing of the stock car he
chose blindly off the floor. He an
nounced a standing offer of Sl00 for
the discovery of any part on the
machine that was specially made
for the test or was not standard
equipment in any 1898 model Chew
rolet.
At IL O'Clock the intrepid driver
made a short address over the radio
from the local station KXO. He in
vited all Ell CentranS who desire to
ride with him to call up KXO,
phone 100, and make the arrange
ments for him to meet them. He
assured them he would not do any
stunting with a passenger in the
car, and to ride with him is a per-
fectly safe proceeding. Arrange
ments to ride with Sarge also can
be made by calling up Womack's
phone 1106.
Then the driver was photograph
ed beside his car along with Chief
Oswalt, Roy Womack and Red
by HetZel the photogra-
pher, who, with Joe Dunning, were
added Monday TO the list of his pat
rons.
Sarge was brought to Ell Centro

CUBAN REBELS
FATE AWAITED
BY LAWRENCE HAAS


HAVANA, Nov. IA. = A decision
of perhaps vital Importance in the
turbulent political situation-sever-
ity or leniency toward rebel leaders
faced President Ramon Grau San
Martin and Colonel Fulgencia Ba-
tista, army chief Of staff, today.
The verdict of military court
on the guilt or innocence of "a men
involved in the unsuccessful out
break in the capital last week was
in the hands of Batista, and decis-
ion on sentences lay with him and
the president.
AS the court s verdict was not
announced it Immediately it was be-
lieved that, in keeping with mill
tary form, the accused were found
guilty.
Formal sentences of death had
been asked for three revolt leaders
by the prosecution, but with rec
ommendation for clemency. Terms
in already jammed prisons were
asked for others.
Grau was said to favor mild treat
ment. Batista IS attitude was net
known. The army's temper against
rebels is bitter.
Quiet in Havana centered atten-
ton again on the provinces, where
state of semi-anarchy has existed
for months.
Three hundred rebels were con-
centrated at the village of Agra
monte in Matanzas province, the
United Press correspondent at Mat
anzas reported.
Soldiers continued raids and ar
rests at many places.

many, February 1.-THE number of
dead from yesterdays explosion Of q

slowly mounted today to So and police
said that total was not likely to be
greatly exceeded.
So far as the authorities were able
to tell, there were no Americans nor
other foreigners among the victims. The
police estimated that 100 persons had
been seriously injured and more than
300 slightly hurt.
Distraught residents of the ruined
working class section of the city near
the iron works were poking about in
the wreckage Of their homes, looking
for remnants Of their property. There
were many strange and pathetic sights
One woman, after long search, walked
away with rescued kitten; another
salvaged birdcage.
The works management stated that
all danger Of further explosions was not
yet over. Hence the work Of clearing
away the rubble was proceeding with
The disabled blast furnaces had or
ders from Russia aggregating 5000 ,00(
marks ($S,600,00o) which cannot now
be executed.
The cause Of the blast stiil was un-
discovered, one theory being that small
quantity Of gasoline took fire and ig-
nited tar packing at the base Of the
gas tank.
Flags were at half stair throughoui
the Saar Territory and messages o1
coincidence were received from President
Won Hindenburg, Chancellor Adolf
Hitler and other prominent persons. The
PRESIDENT and the Prussian government
each contributed 100 900 marks (s24.
000) to q nationwide relief fund.
