Gandrud Case
Settled With
No Contract
FARMER OPPOSITION
TO UNIONS LEADS
TO RECOMMENDATION

Gandrud Creamery company's
labor problem was settled amic-
ablyt Wednesday with the accept
ance by Drivers, Transfers and
HELPERS union number 851, Will
mari of a memorandum concern
ing future wage and hour policies
of tie concern. With the unions
acceptance, the National Labor
Relations board representatives
report lists the case as CLOSED"
Public. opinion, particularly
thatsof patrons of the creamery
evident Thursday night at
meeting attended by nearly 1000
at the Lincoln school auditorium,
was largely responsible for the
settlement z.s.*- F.. :
1t was apparent to NLRB re-
personalities at the meeting that
the firm faced serious danger of
customer-boycott should union
demands of a labor contract be
met and that serious conse-
quences might result.
The memorandum after reveiw-
ing negotiations, lists wage and
hourF scales and other terms pre-
viouAy agreed to by the concern
but without the signatures and
dating formality of a contract
which would be renewed period
icalI1, with possible difficulty
overkscales at each renewal. Both
sides have indicated their accept
ance jim letters, the unions arriv-
ing Wednesday.
agreement A Surprise
The right of Gandrud employ
ees To belong to the union-guar-
anteed by LAWS not abridged
but the unions acceptance of the
mild compromise is taken as an
indication that further efforts to
organize city workers may be in
definitely delayed. s ,..
The willingness of the NLRB
men to recommend to union Of
ficials that they close negotia-
tons without insisting on a con-
tract was surprise turn of
events as there was no hint at the
meeting that the NLRB men were
of that mind. In fact when it
finally was declared late in the
session that the only way the
matter could be settled without a
contract was for 'Gandrud en-
ployees to request that negotia-
lions be dropped, James M.
Shields, NLRB representative,
warned emphatically, eff the
community brings undue pressure
against the employee, I will per-
sonally recommend that charges
against the Gandrud firm be
pressed" This statement was met
with calls of "c1ub," Hitler" and
boos and catcalls.
1t developed at the four hour
session that while business men
are opposed to unionizing in
varying degrees, the majority of
farmers in the community are
even more militant against
unions. Even after detailed dis
cussions of the Wagner act and
its restrictions on employers,
there was sentiment for defying
government interference" which
could only have been done at
great risk by the creamery COM
pany.

Payers Give
Tax Views to
Legislators
OPPOSE REAL ESTATE
TAX BOOST, FAVOR
OTHER LEVIES

Mounting concern over govern
ment spending and intelligent in
terest in the tax situation was
evidenced at a meeting of the
Redwood County Taxpayers as
ISOLATION with members. of the
state legislature in the courtroom
Friday night.
Alex Seifert of Springfield,
newly elected state senator from
Brown and Redwood counties;
John M. ZWach who will begin
his third term as representative
at-large and Harvey E. Swennes,
new Redwood county representa-
tive, took careful notes of ex-
pressions from a representative
group on matters of importance
to state and county taxpayers.
The session was intensely in
tereSting and significant in that
mem from all walks of life and
every section of the county di-
rectly presented views to their
lawmakers. '.- ss :"
Attendants passed the follow
ing resolutions which will serve
as unofficial instructions to the
three legislators: ~. ..--'
That the state gas tax remain
at four cents per gallon.
That measures giving as
much local control of relief as
possible be passed. ...f
- That legislation limiting the
mill rate on real estate be en-
acted. . t.s...
That the present income tax
should not be lowered.
That present distribution of
income tax money remain un-
changed.
That a law be passed COM
polling publication each month
of a list of persons on relief and
the amounts received.
Ira R. Rogers, county auditor,
explained ALLEGATION of gas tax
funds and Zwach, who had statis-
tics on state finances at tongues
/ tip, gave his reasons for voting
for the four cent rate.
Il told myself the four cent tax
was fair because up to that point
there is no profit made in the
fund-all the money goes for
roads. l don't believe part of the
support of gas tax roads should
be put on real estate" Zwach
said.
The vote to leave the gas tax
at four cents was unanimous.
Welfare can be handled by the
county without state supervision
for approximately one-half the
present cost in the opinion of A.
D. McRae, executive secretary of
the Welfare board here, who was
called upon to speak.
Red tape" requiring innum-
cradle reports at the end of each
month and extra clerical help to
make out the reports, were num-
bered as expense-raising items.
McRae cited $1,000 savings
made by quantity buying of UNI
derwear and other staple relief
commodities, in a plan inaugur-
ated by county authorities this
year.
In answer to questions from the
floor, he said in November there
were SOB persons in the county

CLASS INDUSTRY
 IS GETTING BUSY
Manufacturers Are Turning
 Out Larger Windows

TOLEDO, O., Nov. 1-News that 1889 automobiles are to have eighteen to thirty percent larger glass areas focuses attention on one of the newest of Americas big in- dustries, the manufacture of safety glass.
 Safety glass first was used as a sighting panel in tanks during the World War, and was one of the few war inventions which proved adap- table to peace-time uses. There ob- viously was great commercial sig nificance to the discovery that two or more panes of plate glass, when sandwiched together with shock proof plastic material, could stop high cahber bullet fired as close range Nevertheless it was IA years before safety glass was perfected and put into the widespread use it finds today in automobiles
 Safety Glass
 Immediately after the war it was employed in armored cars, cashiers windows, jewellers showcases, air plane windshields and other special iZed uses. It was not until 1892 that safety glass came into its own. Through research by the large glass companies. earlier difficulties with plastics and laminating methods had been overcome, and the public was offered a perfected product The Libhey Owens Ford Glass Company, now the worlds largest producer of safety glass, introduced the glass with a vigorous advertiS- ing and promotion campaign in that depression year.
 Public response to safety glass was such that during the ensuing six years it has become standard equipment on all makes of cars, and in addition finds widespread use in every phase of transportation, in- dustry and commerce. The number of workmen in "LOF" plants en- gagged in making glass for the auto- mobile industry has increased 300 percent. and the number of workers engaged in the laminating plants has increased 800 percent.
 Plant Is Quiet
 The plant where safety glass il made is quiet, almost antiseptically clean and looks great deal more like a hospital than an industrial establishment. Women in white starched dresses work at long tables cutting the plastic material ano sandwiching it between two sheets of glass.
 These sheets individually arc thinner than ordinary plate glas: and of the highest possible clarity

The cellulose plasuc, before the final processing, resembles smooth parchment and comes in huge rolls like newsprint.
 After the sheets of glass and eel lulose have been placed together, they pass on a belt into another room, where they are bonded to- gether by a secret process. When the safety glass emerges from this room, however, the cellulose sheet between the two panes of glass still is not fully transparent All opacity dis appears, however, when baskets of the panes are lowered into an oil chamber and submitted to heat of 300 degrees Fahrenheit and se-

 When removed from the chamber the edges of each piece of safety glass are sealed with tar-like sub- stance which keeps air and mois- ture from the plastic. The edges are polished and the company's trade mark sandblasted into a corner oi the pane. Safety glass, in suitable shapes for windshields, door win d0Ws and rear windows, then is boxed and shipped by truck and train to automobile manufacturing and other automotive centers-ready for the assembly line.

Angry Town Seethes
After Attack

TIA JUANA, Mexico, Feb. IS
G.N.SO O.-This little border town,
once the gay mecca of thousands
of thirsty Americans during the
prohibition era, was under martial
law today.
Federal troops patrolled the
streets to prevent reoccurrence Of
yesterdays bloody riot, which saw
three persons killed, at least a
score trampled and wounded. and
two public buildings burned by an
enraged mob which sought the
killer and ravisher of 8-year-old
Olga Comacho.
Anger still Surged through the
town, but officials we're confident
there would be no more trouble.
Street gatherings were banned.
They indicated a young soldier
who repeatedly confessed to kill.
ing the pretty little Mexican child
had been spirited away to neigh
boring city and would be dealt
with sunmarily.
The international border at San
YSidro was closed to foreigners
this morning, although it was be-
lieved Americans on official busi-
ness would be allowed to cross the
line later today.
Two children, an 8-year-old and
14-year-old boy, and a man were
killed by troops as the mob set
the city jail and federal building
afire in its attempt to take and
lynch the killer, as yet uniden-
titled.
The rioting lasted three hours AS

and federal troops attempted to
battle the 1900 people.
