She is limp and not interested In
anything. Her laughter is growing less
and less frequent now, and probably
will stop within day or two"
Other medical attendants also de-
clined to advance an explanation of
the laughter, which first broke out
while Teresa was watching serious
show-not comedy.
Meanwhile in her room at the Wes-
ton Sanitarium the attractive patient
was able to eat a little between the
giggles. but paid little attention to her
surroundings.
She picked up two rings and held
them close to her eyes--the doctors
say her sight seems affected-and i'm
mediately laughed hilariously.
DR.. H. c. Van Tromp, also attending
the girl, described her laugh as natu-
raj one, "just as it would be from any
normal person."

WESTON. w. Va. March 4.-Pretty
Teresa Hawkins didn't laugh so much
today, and this led doctors to hope
there soon will be an end to the spasms
of merriment which within a week
made her a semi-conscious invalid.
The 18-year-old business college STU
dent began her seventh day of almost
constant laughter, which started as
she sat in a theater last Wednesday
night.
DR.. ]. E. Offner announced that as
soon as possible he will operate for a
pelvic disorder, but declined to say
whether that had any connection with
the case. The doctor said it might be
a week before the proper diagnosis
can be made. adding:
There Is to be much examination
and some laboratory work before we
can venture an opinion as to the
cause.

Texas State Centennial Under
Fire by Labor and

DALLAS, Texas. (FP)-The Texas
state centennial is having its troubles.
The Dallas painters union has sta
toned pickets before its gates because
the centennial executive board was I'M
fair to organized painters in the en-
ployment OF labor for the exposition's
massive buildings.
Before the opening Of the exposition,
construction of buildings was halted
over the payment Of s~ubstandard
wages. Since it opened, taxicab driv-
ers, organizing as a local Of the Inter-
national Brotherhood of Transfers,
halted service and won a quick z4-hour
strike, raising their compensation from
Is per cent to 80 l-3 per cent OF gross
receipts. They had been earning 50
to SIP a week for a TO- and l2-hour
day.
Finally, the Mexican consul has asked
that all Mexicans boycott the centen-
NAL, because the constant emphasis on
the Texan victory over Mexico in 1916
is offensive to their national pride. I'VE
are not against the idea OF a centen-
NAL" Mexican leaders declare, but we
deeply resent the unjust manner in
which the exposition portrays our part

Democrats Renew APP
peal To Forgotten Man
By N C. FLEISHER.
Federated Press.

PHILADELPHIA. - (FD) = The
Democratic Party made a sweeping bid
to retain the faith OF the nations voters
when its Roosevelt dictated platform
committee produced a point with
pride" document for the campaign.
A continuation of New Deal policies
backed by a review OF the administers
ton record, will be the chief Demo.
cratic talking points in the coming
months, the platform indicated.
Despite the liberal tenor of the plat,
form, however, it adhered to earlier
predictions that it would not wander
far left of center" in its attempt to
satisfy both workers and bosses. On
the Constitution issue the Democratic
donkey prayed words Of weasel nature.
Only if current problems can not be
solved within the Constitution" it de-
clared, shall the party seek such clari-
flying amendments" as may be neces-
sary.
To labor the party pledged continue,
ton OF its past performances. Though
a Democratic Congress kicked in the
teeth both the Wagner llenbogen
housing act and the revised Guffey
coal bill, the platform nevertheless
pledged support OF laws for coal and
housing. When legislation will be
passed on these two counts, and what
kind, remains to be seen.
In sharp contradiction to the G. 0. P,
the Democrats regard unemployment
as a national problem Jobs on use
full projects al prevailing wages are
recommended, but the plank in ques-
ton leaves it very vague whether such
projects would be carried u under
federal or state auspices. Passing the
buck over responsibility for relief
seems likely to continue.
More specific, and ominous to the re-
lief program, is a sharp promise to bal
ance the budget as o as possible.
The present farm program, successor
to the AAA, will be continued, while
crop reduction seems favored in a
statement that production and con
sumption must be balanced.
Woefully weak was the committees
report on farm tenancy. While the
party has apparently felt the pressure
OF small and often bankrupt share
troopers and their friends, the plat
form seeks to aid these farmers by re-
funding indebtedness at lower rates Of
interest. Millions OF the nations land
less and busted farmers are past being
affected by the plank.
This is a program Of, by and for
Franklin D. Roosevelt, just as the
whole convention was a ceremony Of
ratifying F.D.R. and his actions. In
some places the planks are literally
worded; whether they will be carried
out depends on how emphatically labor
and liberals make their wants known.
The platform is generally regarded
as a skillful appeal to the still-forgotten
men to have faith for four more years
in the smiling man in the White House.
How much more OF a New Deal the
man in the street will get depends on
himself. His pressure, in place OF his
blind support, will alone insure a new
deal for himself-rather than for the
rulers OF the nations business.

CONGRESS aims BLOW
STRIKE BREAKERS
Passes Byrnes Bill to Prevent In
t~er-state Commerce in Strong
Arm Men Designed for Use in
Labor Controversies.
(By A. F. Of l. News servicel

(By a. +. OF l.. News SERVICE
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The House
OF Representatives, one day before the
adjournment Of Congress, passed the
bill enacted by the Senate several
weeks ago prohibiting the t~ransporta-
ton of strike-breakers from state to
state to be used for interfering with
the right Of strikers to picket plants in
labor disputes.
The measure introduced in the Senate
by Senator Byrnes Of South Carolina,
is short and to the point. Following is
the text:
THAT whoever shall knowingly
transport or cause to be transported,
or aid or abet in transporting, in in
t~erstate or foreign commerce, any per-
son with intent TO employ such person
to obstruct Or interfere, in any man
ner, with the right Of peaceful picket
ing during any labor controversy af-
fecting wages, hours, or conditions Of
labor, or the right OF organization for
the purpose Of collective bargaining,
shall be deemed guilty of a felony and
shall be punishable by a fine not ex-
ceeding $4,000 or by Imprisonment not
exceeding two years, or both, in the
discretion of the court"
The report OF the House Judiciary
Committee favoring the measure, filed
by Representative John E. Miller of
Arkansas, gave a f~orceful description
Of the violence caused by strike-break-
ers, who were described as "mercen-
aries, strong-arm men and thugs" and
declared that such trike-breaking
agencies are not tolerated in any other
country.
It declared there was abundant evil
dence that strike-breaking %organiza-
tons Sometimes drum up business by
formenting industrial disorder where
0 n exists, in order to obtain a con
tract to suppress it, adding
Disputes can be settled more amic-
ably without the injection of profess
sional thugs from the outside into an
unfortunate situation"
Only two members OF the House
voted against the bill.

j. ]. O'CONNELL SEEKS
CONGRESSIONAL POST
Jerry O'Connell Will Be Mon
tana's Next Congressman.
His Past Record Entities Him to
the Solid Support of Organized
Labor.

There is an old proyerb that deeds
and actions speak louder than words.
This has proven true in the case Of
Jerry J. O'Connell, the present pro-
gressive Railway and Public Service
Commissioner for the State OF Mon
tana, and who is now a candidate for
Congress on the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. O'Connell as Railway Commits
sioner for the past two years, and a
former member from Silver Bow Coun-
ty OF the Montana Legislature, has
kept each and every promise he made
in campaign times to the common peo-
pie OF Montana.
His service in behalf OF organized
labor needs no eulogy.
With the special interests attempt
ing to strangle this state, O'Connell is
the only Public Service Commissioner
who has ever challenged them on be-
half Of the residents Of it, as well as
the labor unions and the Railroad Bro
therhoods.
The working people should not forget
how he cited the out-state utility con-
Germs, before the Commission, to show
cause why they should not reduce their
excessive rate to Montana people. They
failed each time to sustain their case,
and as a result the people of Montana
are paying lower power rates and low
er water rates.
The members of the Railroad Broth
erhood and the farmers will not forget
how he refused in his official capacity,
along with Tom Carey, another mem
Der OF the Board to permit the rail-
roads Of this state to close stations,
abolish trains, and put men on the
street who spent many years Of their
lives in railroad operation.
Through the aid OF this progressive
Commission, the public, and the con
sumers OF freight are benefitting by at
least a thirty five per cent reduction
Of freight rates from that which they
were paying formerly.
Through the leadership Of Mr.. O'Con-
nell, former Judge Angstman was sell
ected by the Commission as their coun-
sci, whose progressive actions are well
known to all citizens OF the state.
He has been endorsed by the Engi-
neers' and Clerks unions.
