LANDON DEFENDS
RIGHTS OF LABOR
Republican Nominee Says
Ex.President Hoover May
Visit Him.
By the Associated Press.

TOPEKA, Kans., September S.
Gov. Alf M. Landon said today in a
Labor day proclamation that labor
should be free to organize for fair
consideration forever free from
governmental or any other form of
coercion"
simultaneously with issuance of the
proclamation, the Republican nominee
told a press conference that former
President Herbert Hoover, who last
night announced his intention to
speak for the Kansan, may stop off,
for a visit on his way back West after
his eastern trip.

of Kansas ito lay aside their business

Landon said:
Under our American system of
Government, groups may organize
and freely expound their views. With
that in mind, let us listen closely to
labor as it speaks on this day and
give due regard and credence to its
utterances.
This day has no room in it for
class divisions and prejudices. No
good citizen would contribute to
them.
I'm 1890 the frontier was gone, and
the covered wagon memory, but the
people of this State still believed In

The Governor was questioned about
the Chicago announcement Of West

reduced freight rates on live stock
feeds he had requested for drought
areas would be authorized.
"It is gratifying and I appreciate
very much the attitude Of the rail-
roads," Landon said. "It will be most
helpful, especially on such things as
molasses and cottonseed cake"

ST. JEAN DE LUZ, France, Sep
tember 5.-The Spanish government
today rejected foreign diplomats pro-
posals for "humanizing" the Spanish
civil war.
Daniel Garcia Mansilla, the Argen-
tine Ambassador accredited to Ma
drid, issued communique saying the
Ambassadors proposals to Madrid had
received reply which constituted a
polite rejection.
The Ambassadors, made exiles from
their Madrid posts by the Spanish
war, had sent proposals to each of the
Spanish beligerents asking them to
exchange hostages rather than execute
them.
Mansilla, in making public the pro-
posals this week, indicated that the
ambassadors hoped they would open
the way to a truce in Spain.
The United States Ambassador to
Madrid, Claude G.. Bowers, had no
part in the proposals as the United
States policy has been announced as
one Of strict non-intervention in the
Spanish civil strife.
The Spanish government made no
comment on the actual plan of the
diplomats in its reply, but declared:
I'VE are concerned for the time
being with repressing military rebel
lion which has created this terrible
situation and which the government
desires to see ended as quickly as pos
sible by the most humane means"

Rebels Clear Way For Attack by Fort

IRUN, Spain, With Rebel Armies,
September 5.-With government re-
sistance blasted out Of Irun, the rebel
high command tonight trained its
guns on Fort Guadalupe to clear the
way for an attack On San Sebastian.
Other rebel units meanwhile con-
solidated their newly won positions
preparatory to drives on Santander,
Bilbao and other government-held
coastal cities.
The rebel high command said there
was no intention of an immediate mass
attack on San Sebastian. as their
strategy would be to clean up the ter
ritory around ruined Irun.
When all the scattered government
redoubts in the area are scotched,
then, the rebel leaders said, the entire
northern army, under Gen. Emilio
Mola, would concentrate on San Sc
bastian.
Rebels Masters Of Irun.
Rebels were complete masters Of
Irun by early afternoon after driving
of a desperate counter attack by
government militiamen.
Cleanup squads stalked among the
ruins hurting hand grenades at a few
individual government militiamen who
refused to flee with their comrades.
Fascist fighting men walked over
the bodies of 10 black-shirted govern
ment militiamen on the approach to
the International Bridge into Hen
daye.
The government men had recap
tured the bridgehead earlier. only to
be driven of by relentless rebel
barrage.
On the bridge itself were the bodies
of three other government militiamen.

direct responsibility of the assess
or of the district.
I'VE criticize very severely the
assessors judgement in making no
adjustment in district valuations,
based on current values during the
years 1892 and 1888 when the de-
preston was at the bottom. The
drastic cut in valuations this year
when commodity prices and land
values have reached the highest
value in six years. is branded as
nothing but a political assessment.
"A lower assessor valuation of the
district in 1882 and 1888 might have
been helpful to the district board
at that time in carrying on refund
ing negotiations with the bond
holders when the district was fac
ing such a serious default in its
OBLIGATIONS. FFor the assessor or
any board member to attempt to
use this now as an alibi is r.dicu-
lous. Any one knows valuations
have not decreased 30 per cent this
year from the valuations of 1882
and 1888
Rhyme cr Reason
Examination Of the assessors
rolls show quite plainly that there
is no rhyme or reason. from a busi-
ness standpoint. in the reductions
which have been made in district
valuations. AS an example, the dis
trict assessor did not make a gener-
al or blanket reduction IN va1ua-
tions as the county assessor did in
the past five years. The county
assessor made a general reduction OF
| 25 per cent in all valuations. The
district assessors cuts in valuations
have ranged from rs per cent to

IF you call that a fight against
organized labor, that's what we're
going to do.
Bunn's teeth were knocked out
by a club welded by one of the
strikers.
The injured men are well known
in Imperial Valley, especially among
the shippers and growers. Strobel
is president of the Associated
Farmers and has been in the
ranching business with his brother.
Bum is a member of the Salinas
Valley Packing company and has
been associated with his father
in the lettuce packing deal. Bum,
Sr, has the Crown Packing COM
pany.
Several Imperial Valley residents
are understood to have joined the
strikebreakers in the embattled
zone, some of whom worked IN
Imperial Valley during the she'd
workers strike two years ago.
The violent clashes yesterday,
precipitated by further attempts
of the growers-shippers associa-
ton to move hot" lettuce from
barricaded shipping sheds, centered
az the labor temple here.
Two men were wounded by bull
letsand others were injured by clubs,
fists, stones and gas fumes.
Several carloads of the lettuce
declared unfair by the Salinas
central labor council and boycott
ted by several other unions-left
for eastern markets while the fight
ing ensued near the terminal
points. The Watsonville- Salinas
district supplies the nation with
a majority of its retail lettuce.
The crates were packed by strike
breakers conveyed here from the
San Joaquin Valley.
The strike broke Sept. a when
local members of the fruit and
vegetable workers union staged a
Walkout in protest against refusal
OF the grower-shippers association
to grant preferential employment
demands and a new wage scale.
The union demanded the follow
ing wage rates: Packers 8212 cents;
trimmers 60l2 cents; receivers n
cents; truckers &c cents.
