= ENATOR SCHALL has laughed
at his blindness again.
The senior legislator from
- Minnesota, who lost his sight
in a freak accident 27 years ago, de-
cided three weeks ago to get on a
horse and ride. And today, despite
the fact that he lives in world Of
darkness, he can be seen every morn
ing galloping over the bride paths
near Laurel Park, Md
He has some one ride with him to
warn him Of overhanging branches
and to instruct him to turn right or
left, but once he gets in the clear he
gives his horse the reins.
Nothing to it," he said. "Of course
my friends think I'm foolish to take
chances, but can take care of my
self. You know I used to break wild
broncos when was young man."
Mrs. Schan, who rides with him oc-
casionally, told of the time he rode
Cheyenne Bill, a vicious bronco
which had killed two men on a farm
near Wheaton, MINI.
Mrs. Schan Skeptical
Naturally, I'm glad to see him
ride because he gets so much fun out
Of it," she said, but I'll admit I'm
worried every time he gets on that
horse. The only stipulation make is
that some one ride with him."

napng," a toy pistol and a story
somewhat derogatory to the reputa-
ton of Texas jackrabbits for speed
figured today in Mervel tJackrabbiD
Moore's damage suit against three
neighbors.
Moore's allegations are that Leon
and Sam Bradenburg and Jack Hood
overlook him on ABROAD, represented
themselves as well-known outlaws
and kidnapped him. Although he was
released and his captors disclosed
their identities, Moore alleges the in
cident made him nervous and be-
lieves that 1895 will square things.
The defendants said the ride" was
a prank to test the value of Moore's S
alleged Dragging. and that the weapon
used was toy pistol borrowed" from
a baby.
One of his tallest stories, they
testified, was that when he hunted
rabbits "he would run up alongside
one of the animals and feel it, and
if it wasn't good and fat, would let
it go and start Logging for another
one"
The jury, which amused itself by
swapping the trigger of the toy pistol,

AUT0LABOR BOARD
TARGET FOR A. FL.
Call for Strike Vote Grows
Out of Discomfort With
Recent BaIIoting.
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT. March president
Roosevelt's Automobile Labor Board
found itself the target of American
Federation of Labor dissatisfaction
again today as the A. F. of L. pur-
sued its efforts to unioniZe the indus
try where the open shop has been in
vogue for Is years.
Created last March 25 as means
of averting a threatening strike in
the industry. the board approached
its first anniversary with the A. F.
of L. arranging a secret" strike vote
among its 176 auto worker locals.
Dillon Explains Action.
The A. F. of L. action, announced
Friday, was explained by Francis j.
Dillon, A. F. of L. organizer, as an
outgrowth of the Federation's dis
satisfaction with the Automobile
Labor Boards method of conducting
collective bargaining elections. These
elections have shown that the A. r.
of L. represents a minority OF the
workers.
With 1928 of the industry'S 100000
workers thus far canvaSSed, the
board reported that only 1926 record
ed A. F. of L. affiliations while 66,821
others indicated they were unafflliated
with any labor union.
Dillon intimated that the strike vote
would be a test of the federation's
strength 1t will not necessarily
mean the actual calling of strike
as only the national officers of the
Federation have this power.
That the A. F. of L. is actively pur-
suing it's attempts to unionize the in
dustry was indicated by William
Green. president of the federation, in
a speech in Detroit February %.
Until 18 months ago automobile
men showed no desire to organize be-
cause of seasonal and other condi-
tions, Green said. I'VE organized
metal polishers and some of the crafts,
but never general automobile. Now
We are trying to bring all classes Of

The japanese government has been

last Fall with a proposition to grant
Nanking a sufficiently substantial loan
to help China out Of its present pre-

increasing communistic activities, the
Marking government needed outside
help which the japanese are willing
to grant.
The conversations between Marking
and Toxic appear to have reached
satisfactory conclusion, and according
to reports from the Far East the
Nanking government is now willing
to sign on the dotted line.

Such financial and moral" assist
ance has an important international
angle.
To begin with, it appears that one
of the conditions imposed by the
japanese government is that all the
foreign officials and advisers at pres

have to be given notice and replaced
by japanese officials.
In order to ward off any possibility
of Japan obtaining a further strong
