Police said the paragraph above

In Carmel Miss Winter had no

Cagney from Hollywood issued a
lengthy statement in which he ad-
mitted knowing Ella Winter but
said he had no faith in her views
and never had any dealings with
her. He is known to have liberal
views.
"If Ella Winter wrote such a
letter, which I can hardly believe
she did, she had no right to do so
as I never have expressed any in
tention of going to the aid of any
one trying to upset our govern
ment." the movie stars statement
read.

for me to align myself with any

The authorities expected to use

charges of criminal syndicalism in
addition to facing the vagrancy
charge.

Doctor To Test
Paralysis Serum,

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Is. W.H-
Dr.. John A. Kolmer prepared to-
day to demonstrate the ultimate of
faith in his vaccine to stop the
spread of infantile paralysis.
The Temple university professor
of medicine and institute of cutan-
eous medicine research director
said he intended to inject the de-
vitalized virus of the scourge of
childhood into the systems of his
two children.
They are boys, II and Is.
DR.. Kolmer announced a sue
cessful method of vaccination
against infantile paralysis after
two years of experimentation with
monkeys. Both he and his tech

SERA Engineer Believes Situa-
ton Here Can Be Handled
With Present Equipment

In the belief that the drought
here has reached its peak and
situation here can we'll be han
died with present equipment until
the end of this month at least, M.
r. Huberty, irrigation engineer
with the state SERA, indicated
last night that the county project
asking for additional equipment to
haul stock water might not be ap-
proved.
Huberty has just completed his
second survey of conditions here
within the past 80 days and gave
his recommendation in the mat
ter at meeting of the county
emergency water committee at the
court house last night.
A project calling for 26 addi-
tional tank trucks to haul stock
water had been approved by the
committee three weeks ago but
had failed to receive the sanction
of the state director who had sent
Huberty here to make the neces-
sary Investigations of the situa-
ton.
The manner in which the situa-
ton is being handled by the irri-
cation district operating depart
ment was praised by the state en-
gineer at last nights meeting. He
pointed out that particularly ir
the Holtville area under the direc-
ton of M. NJ Sweeney, the
drought relief program was being
carried on to a high degree of eff
ficiency.
1t was further brought out that
some residents in the north end
of the valley were getting stock
water from the Alamo and New
rivers. This was chiefly seepage
and waste water which had come
down these streams, it was said
The local SERA office has been
told that some stock owners are of
the opinion that the office does not
wish them to have their own stock
water. Such an opinion is entirely
wrong, w. j. Sterrett, county
SERA director stated. Every effort
should be made by the stockman,
he said, to help himself. All water
loading stations will load, free of
charge, water hauling equipment
of farmers wishing to haul their
own stock water, he stated.
A survey is now being made to
ascertain the ability of owners to
provide their own stock water sup
ply.

TEXTILE WAR;
\ HELD CERTAIN
Continued On Page 81

NEW YORK, Aug. 18. UP) -
Threat of labor war in the textile
industry assumed grave signifi-
canoe today as the convention OF
the United Textile Workers of Am
erica extended its strike authori-
Zation to every branch of the in
dustry. 1t now affects more than
$4,000 workers.
Resolutions ordering the extern
sion of the cotton textile strike to
the silk and ravon, the synthetic
rayon products and the Woolen
and worsted textile industries were
approved without dissenting
vote. Power to determine dates OF
the walkout was placed with the
unions executive committees.
The conventions action did not
mean, however, that silk, rayon
woolen and worsted workers would
be called out at the same time as
cotton textile workers. The unions
executive council has been instruc-
ted to call out the cotton workers
on or about Sept. l.
president Roosevelt is the only
man on Gods green earth who
can stop the strike" declared Tho
mas F.. Mcmahon, president of the
United Textile Workers of Amer
lea.
1--WE will tell General Hugh S
johnson that we appreciate his
efforts but that he is not big
enough and has not enough au-
thority to help u.s."
In addition to readjustment OF
hours, wages and other matters
the textile union demands thor
ough-going enforcement of the
collective bargaining provision OF
the National Recovery Act.

WARM TRAIL
REPORTED IN
K|DNAP CASE
Abductors Of Canadian Brew
er Manage To Elude Dragnet
OF Authorities

LONDON, Ont, Aug. 18. WJD-
Canadian police were believed to-
day to be following a warm trail
in their hunt for the kidnapers of
John S. Labatt, wealthy brewer.
The United Press was told by a
person in the confidence of the
Labatt family that arrests could be
expected within 36 hours.
Police activities seemed to GEN.
ter in this vicinity, which, before
repeal was we'll known by American
gangsters engaged in running liq-
uor into Detroit. They appeared
convinced the abduction was the
work of American criminals thor
oughly versed in kidnapping.
The victim himself remained in
the seclusion Of the home OF his
brother, Hugh. He will not be able
to see anyone other than police
and the immediate members OF
his family until late tomorrow.
There was no certainty ransom
had been paid for his freedom, al
though j. c. Elliott, attorney for
the Labatt family, said he thought
the kidnapers had been given
"about" $50,O0O They original
ly demanded $l50,000.
Labatt gained steadily today from
his nervous collapse, DR.. w. j.
Tillman, family physician, announc-
ed.

fully swollen from the three days
sealing with adhesive tape but he
is gaining steadily" the physician
said.
Labatt has a weak heart, which
his physician said was unaffected.
In Toronto, police held Edward
Chard, 25, whom they said con-
fessed to an attempt to extort
SIS 900 from Hugh Labatt, who play
ed a prominent part in the frenz-
led developments that resulted in
Labatt IS release. Chard was re-
sponsible for three telephone calls
to Hugh Labatt that gave direc-
tions for payment, police said.
Police were known to have val
liable clues to the kidnapers. One
was a finger print taken from the
automobile which Labatt was driv-
ing when he was abducted Tues
day between his summer home at
Sarnia Beach and London.
Arthur Roebuck, attorney general
of Ontario province, said Labatt
told him he was kidnapped by three
men, two of whom were armed.
His eyes Immediately were taped
with adhesive plaster. He was
driven for IL hours to a hide-out
Thursday night he was driven
on the outskirts of Toronto. He
went Immediately to the Royal
York hotel there then he and his
brother drove here. Roebuck said
Labatt had no idea where he was
hidden.

quest for the hearing but he had
not yet made up his mind as to
what was to be done.

Brittania Mine Ships Zinc

A statistical report on lead and zinc production in Canada in 1888 announces that offic- ials of the Brittania mine, when faced with the difficulty of marketing their copper at a profit, turned attention to an- other body of ore in the mine which was known to be low in copper but relatively high in zinc content, with considerably better values in gold than the average, in the hope that a process of recovery of those metals could be evolved. The pro b l e m was successfully solved and the Brittania mine became for the first time pro- ducer of zinc concentrates.

Says Wall Street Likes It!

Commenting on the recent naturalization of silver by presidential ord CT, Arthur Brisbane, noted publicist, says it will create many enormous fortunes and it delights Wall Street..
 The reason? More money in circulation. {
 But the question is, he says, will the new silver currency really get into general circulat- ion or sink deep into bank vaults, "to be held in the sac red name of liquidity."
 If, as MT Brisbane says, Wall Street likes it, the chances are that something like that will happen. Anytime the high finance birds like anything, it usually means that it is easy pickings for them and of little benefit to the common herd.
