TROOPS AWAITING
FRENCH VETERANS
Paris Under Heavy Guard as
Ex.Service Men Seek
"ShoWdoWn."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, July THE National Con-
federation of War Veterans, whose
meeting here may have serious ef-
feet upon the future of the Doumer-
que government, tonight condemned
the governments action in reducing
pensions Of veterans.
The issue was the first Of several
effective government policies to come
before the two-day convention of the
representatives of 3.500,000 veterans,
and the anti-government vote was
overwhelming.
sions, who is secretary-general of one
of the groups in the confederation,
defended the governments course and
left the hall after the vote.
Move to Postpone Action.
Possibility that Rivollet will resign
from the government has been dis
cussed by politicians looking forward
to the veterans gathering.
mere ID StIOIlS movement OH
foot, however, to postpone action on
the governments other policies until
October.
Fears of possible clashes in con-
nection with the veterans meeting
caused the authorities to hold a regi-
ment of tanks in reserve, while at
least $4,000 police and mounted foot
guards were prepared for trouble.
With meetings going on in various
parts Of the city tomorrow the police
may have their hands full.
There was scheduled an anti-Fas-
cist, Communist and Socialist demon
stration at one end of the city, the
confederation meeting in another
part, and an annual ceremony at the
Arc de Triomphe, all Of which were
regarded as possible trouble points.
The latter group, members of the
"Croix de Feu" (croSs of fire. will
march in an annual ceremony to the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, there
to rekindle an eternal fame.
Radicals Threaten to Interfere.
There will be thousands of them,
SCARED and limping from old wounds
Of battle. This year, with radical
threats to interfere with the cere-
mony, it has been suddenly lifted to
political significance and dangerous
possibilities.
Troops and large reserves of mobile
guards are to be held in barracks and
hidden in court yards ready for any
emergency.
Communists and Socialists have
gathered their forces for rallies in
protest against the veterans display
of strength.
In addition to the police and mobile
guards held ready for instant action,
$4,000 troops were being held in bar
racks in case real trouble develops.
Council Accepts Cuts.
The Council of National Confeder-
alton of Veterans accepted pension
pay cuts when they met April II after
compelling the government to COM
promise on some economy measures.
The federation at that time warned
Premier CASTOR Doumergue it would
watch for results and IF they should
prove insufficient or ineffective, it
will impose by means within its power,
once again, for the safety of the state,
its own program for national reno
vation."
The federation gave Doumergue's
new political truce" government until
July 8 to make good. Since the vet
erans disagree as to exactly what
should be done and agree that the
reforms" have neither failed nor sue
ceeded altogether, some organizations
forming the federation have gone on
record for further delay, postponing
the promised day of reckoning.

Water Front Quiet.
Under the muzzles of the guns of
the Guardsmen the water front re-
mained outwardly quiet today, while
the possibility of a general strike in
the city hovered in the background.
A Strategy Committee representing
$4,000 members of 100 labor unions
met this morning and proclaimed the
stand behind striking longshoremen
and marine workers. Representatives
of the union last night rejected a
recommendation for a general strike.
The labor council" said Edward
Vandeleur. chairman of the commit
tee. lis behind the fight and I want
the world to know it,"
One of the first steps of the Strategy
Committee was to advise longShoremen
representatives on procedure before
President Roosevelt's Labor Disputes
Board, which will begin hearings
Monday.
Portland Cargo Blocked.
In Portland, Greg, meanwhile, strik-
ing water front workers who have
pledged themselves to victory or
death" blocked the movement of Is
railroad cars to a municipal terminal
where freight was to have been loaded
on intercoastal vessels. A general strike
in Portland also was considered
possible.
The strike centers around dis
pute between shippers and long
shoremen over the operation of "hir-
ing halls" where stevedores are en-
ployed to work ships. 1t spread until
it involved $1,000 workers.
Shipping has been tied up, and the
plight of San Francisco today began
to show in nearby communities.
Authorities said vegetable growers in
the East Bay area had been warned
their truck drivers would face trouble
if they continued to transport pro-
duce into San Francisco.
Non-union workers continued to
haul cargo today from badly con-
gested San Francisco piers to ware
houses in the nearby industrial dis
trict The Guardsmen held every
thing on the State-owned waterfront
area in its grip. There was no at
tempt at violence.
Los Angeles Open.
Taking cognizance of published
charges the longshoremen and marine
workers were being led by radicals,
the labor council instructed the
Strategy Committee to investigate and
report to the public" an answer to
'these SIanderous innuendoS and
vicious attacks on the labor move
ment."
These various turns in the situation
came as the strike reached the end of
its second month Maritime commerce
remained virtually paralyzed except at
Los Angeles, where some 2,700 nom
union men we're clearing ships with
little interference.

1t used to be said, "a car In the
garage doesn't eat anything" The
argument was that gasoline buggles
and tractors are cheaper In the long
run because they only eat while at
work. On the other hand the horse.
with some exceptions, eats only while
not ut work and then he Is usually
In the pasture.
But new side has developed to
the picture, and old Dobbin and his
long-eared half brother, the mule,
are again In demand on the farm.
Farmers are beginning to sea that
the auto, truck and tractor, when
they eat, require liquid food that takes
cash to buy. Dobbln and shaye-tail can
eat Of crops that are already at hand.
Not only that, they can help get rid
OF Surplus that Is none too profit
able as 1t is, and pay their way with
their work. SO the horse, In the
gulse of farm relief, Is on the road
back to stalls and pastures-on Sum
days anyway. 1t is estimated that a
mule or horse doing farm work con-
sumes each year about an acre of
pasture grass, about ton and half
of hay, some 20 bushels of corn, and
70 bushels of oats. Or, otherwise
put, the draught animal consumes
the crops from three to five acres of
land.
The result Is that there Is now an
increasing demand for horses, and
horses are scarce. Horse and mule
breeders In past years have taken for
granted that these animals were ON
their way to extinction because Of
the advancing machine age there
was no market for them and breed
ers raised only enough for their own
needs. The consequence Is that of
the 12,163,0O0 horses and 4,9S1, 900
mules listed In America during 1888,
probably not more than one-seventh
are under four years of age. Horsey
people are saying that If In the next
10 years there should be an increase
of 100000 head of working animals
they would consume products from
10 to Is per cent OF the land and would
take care of 1S,000,0O0 acres Of sur
plus crops.

census was taken that counted

They increased until In 1880 there

had gone up again. to 18,26T ,02O, and
In 1910, ignoring the advent of motor
cars, the increase continued to 49,

high spot of horse population In
American history; the count was 21.-
$4,000. Then the downgrade began
with 1851 100 In 1920, 13,510,S00 In

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor
~

The public is fast returning to the use
Of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the right dose of a
properly prepared liquid laxative will
bring a perfect movement without
any discomfort at the time. or after.
The dose of liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs Of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
dc not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
SIENNA is natural laxative. 1t does
not drain the system like the cathar-
tics that leave you so thirsty. DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is liquid
laxative which relies on SIENNA for its
laxative action. 1t gently helps the
average PERSONS bowels back to
regularity.
You can always get DR.. Caldwell's
