ARMS IS NEAR.

plies; Roosevelt Soon
Able to Take Steps

WASHINGTON, May "a. (UP)
Without a dissenting vote the
house yesterday assumed the role
of peacemaker and authorized the
president to clamp down an en-
barge on arms shipments to war
ring Paraguay and Bolivia.
The senate foreign relations
committee at the same time APP
proved the identical resolution
passed by the house. Early senate
action was expected to complete
the delegation of power to Mr..
Roosevelt.
The president then will be able
to act decisively with other pow
ers to cut off supplies of NUM-
tions in an effort to force aban-
donment of hostilities by the two
countries that have been battling
fiercely for possession Of the
Gran Chaco jungle in South
America.
"We should have passed this
resolution years ago." Represen-
tative Hamilton Fish. Republican,

PARKING rule
IS BENEFICIAL
Mayor Edwards Sees Good
Results From Strict
Enforcement

Enforcement of the one-hour
parking rule on Main street is
having a beneficial effect, Mayor
A. V. Edwards said today. Police
officers report that the regulation
is being better observed every day
and that merchants say fewer GUS
toners are complaining Of inabil-
ity to find places for their cars
while they shop. Mayor Edwards
said the city administration appre-
ciates the evidences of co-opera-
ton by the public and that he be-
lieves the regulation will do much
to improve business in the stores
and lessen the chances Of acct
dents this summer. The one-hour
rule, which applies between First
and Seventh avenues, was placed
in effect by action of the board
of city commissioners.

Parents who so desire may have
their children under 10 years OF
age inoculated against diphtheria
without any cost if they will bring
the children to the county health
office, in the courthouse, any
morning between the hours of 9
and II o'clock, DR.. J. H. Wood.
cock, health officer, announced
this morning.
DR.. Woodcock declared that the
greatest danger from diphtheria
is during the ages from 6 months
to 5 years. Children, he said,
should be inoculated the first
time at one year old or younger,
and again when they are two or
three years old. incubation is

DIPTHERIA PREVENTIVE WILL
BE FREE AT HEALTH OFFICE

DR.. Woodcock declared that
whooping cough in children is one
of the most serious diseases and
that it induces pneumonia and tu-
berculosis in many cases.
Well persons, he said, may
carry pneumonia germs in their
throats and may thus infect q
child with whooping cough. DR..
Woodcock also warned parents
not to let their children play with
others when they have cold or
tonsilitis, as this may be the be-
ginning Of diphtheria OK whooping

Measles, he said, is a dangerous
disease for children and has
caused many cases of pneumania
and tuberculosis, and chickenpox
is often much like smallpox.

HIGHEST SINCE 1880

WASHINGTON, May "a. (UP)
Employment has reached the best
levels since 1880, tire federal re-
serve board reported last night.
Business activity in April, it
said, reached IS per cent of the
1923-25 average, compared with
"a per cent in March and &c per
cent a year ago.
"Volume of manufacturing pro-
duction increased during April,
while the output of mines de-
clined. Employment and payrolls
continued to increase" said the
board in its monthly business sur
vey.
The growth in manufacturing
reflected increases in iron and
steel, automobiles and meat pack
ing. Lumber production declined
in April. Activity at wool and
silk mills was considerably re-
duced. Cotton consumption by
mills showed little change.
"There was a substantial sea
sonal increase in the number of
workers employed in private con-
struction as we'll as in those en-
gagged in projects financed by the
public works administration" the
board said. employment on rail-
roads, in metal mining and quar-
rying and in various service &C
tiyities also increased further,
while in coal mining there was a
considerable decrease"

offensive in the Gran Chaco end

dispatches from the Bolivian COM
mand.
Unable to move the entrenched
Bolivians, two Paraguayan divi-
sions retired from the field, leav-

in a difficult position, the COM

The four-day assault, believed
a decisive engagement in the jun.
gle war between the two nations,
resulted in heavy losses in the at
lacking Paraguayans, and the b.
livians captured many prisoners,
it was said.
The news spread quickly at
the capital, and the joyous popu-
lation cheered the result, which
the logged resistance of the
troops had led them to expect.
Although the fighting in the Can
AGA and strongest sectors has
been intense, the Bolivians have
held their ground heroically de-
spite the hammering of the en-
envy.
The government, meanwhile,
announced that the Mexican pro-
posal for an immediate armistice
and direct negotiations between
the belligerents was being studied
and that reply to Foreign Min
lister Jose M. PUG Casauranc

Factory Fearing
Violence '
MANY ARE INJURED;
DAMAGE IS $l5O,0O0

TOLEDO, Ohio. May "a. (UP)
Ohio troopers, their grim faces and
bristling bayonets belying their
youth, held sway today over the
strike-torn Electric Auto-Lite
plant.
A state of unofficial martial
law prevailed after a night in
which 5000 screaming and ours
ing strikers rioted about the huge
plant, holding prisoner some 1900
men and women hired to do the
work they refused to accept.
Drenching rain shortly before
dawn combined with word that
troops were enroute scattered
most Of the mob. Only about one
hundred remained when militia
men swung into the area in squad
formation.
Close to one hundred persons
are reported to have been injured
during the night-long clashes be-
tween strikers, police and deputy
sheriffs.
, One woman, an Alma Hahn
company employee, suffered from
a crushed head from flying brick.
Ten Of the injured are patrolmen
and deputies.
Two days Of sporadic fighting
left the factory q smables. DAM
age is estimated at $150,000.
Fifteen national guard units
last night were modified in near
by cities ready to move in and
take charge of the situation.
Stones and bricks were hurled
by strikers in sporadic clashes
with police who used tear gas in
checking the strikers. Last night
1900 policemen circulated in the
crowd Of 5000 strikers and SYM
pathizers outside the plant.
Those inside the plant should
have left at 2:30 p. m. Wednes-
day when the day shift goes off
duty, but they feared to venture
out in face of the increasing
throng outside the plant.
A machine gun had been set up
in the main entrance of the plant
for use if strikers made a rush.
