BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, March 20.-A
hearing Of complaints Of unfair labor
practices against the Bradley Lumber
Co. Of Warren, Ark, ordered by the
National Labor Board, started here
yesterday amid a series of startling
developments.
Shortly after Trial Examiner Walter
Wilbur Of Washington opened the
hearing he was informed by r. II.
Kelly of Houston, Tex, attorney for
the lumber company, that none Of the
lumber officials would participate In
the proceedings. In view of an mjunc.
ton earlier in the week by an Arkan"
sas chancery judge hating a similar
hearing at Warren.
After declaring the company's posi-
ton, Kelly and officials of the Bradley
company left the hearing room.
Then followed a charge by board
witness that labor spy was present
at the hearing taking full notes OF
the proceedings. The witness, George
L. Googe, Southern representative Of
the American Federation of Labor, in
formed the examiner that he would
not testify until the alleged labor
spy's" record was disclosed.
Examiner Wilbur ruled that no one
was prevented from taking notes OF
the hearing, but informed the witness
that only the transcript of the boards
official reporter would be used as the
record. Googe then consented to
testify.
Next came charges that employees OF
the company were required to surren-
der membership in a mill workers
union before they could obtain work
at the plant.
Undisturbed by the company's re-
fusal to participate in the hearing,
Col. Robert B. Watts, general counsel
of the Labor Relations Board, pro-
ceeded to present his case.

A reducer of pain and producer OF

Hailed by obstetricians who have
witnessed some of the results as one
of the most noteworthy steps ever
made in eliminating the sufferingS OF

several years of successful experiment

Whatever Is used must reduce the
sensitivity without, at the same time,

Working quietly at George Wash

anesthetic on several hundred cases.

Back of the argument lies more
