Last Obstacles
To Airline Over
Valley Passed
State Commission in
Agreement on New
Plane Route

A. R. Borne, president Of
International Air Lines, this
week had cleared away the
last legal barriers in the
way of establishing an air
passenger service from San Diego
through Imperial Valley to No.
gales in Arizona.
Both the California state railroad
commission and the Arizona COM
mission had granted Borne per-
mission to establish the proposed
airline, which he hopes to place
in operation within 20 days.
In line with Borne's desire even
tually to carry mail as well as pas
sengers, the Ell Centre chamber of
commerce redoubled efforts to in
duce the federal government to
establish airmail service through
the valley.
The proposed line will include
stops at Ell Centro and Yuma en-
route from San Diego to Nogales
At Nogales the line connects with
planes serving interior Mexico.

In a formal statement, Davis
| urged congress to adopt amend
ments to the act to make the clos
ed shop Illegal and ban sympa-
thetic strikes, to forbid strikes in
violation of any contract or any
law, to protect employees against
interference by labor unions in
their right of Reorganization, and
to do away with exclusive bargain
ing rights granted unions repre-
senting a majority of an employ
er'S workers.
/ His proposals, he said, represent
ed the views of his organization
which is convinced that proceed
ings of the labor board have not
been fair and impartial" and that
there "has been ample demonstra-
ton of the fact that the legisla-
ton has not fulfilled its stated
purpose of lessening industrial dis
puteS."
The Wagner act changes desired
by the chamber were made public
only a few days after President
Roosevelt had confirmed that he
and President William Green of
the American Federation of Labor
were in accord on the necessity of
clarifying the statute. Mr.. Roose-
Vett indicated that employees, labor
representatives and the National
labor relations board probably
would be consulted about specific
amendments before congress re-
convenes.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25. (UP) -
Lloyd Paul Stryker, defense counsel
for James j. Hines, accused prose-
cution witness George Weinberg
today of stealing 100000 from the
Dutch Schultz policy racket in
1933-l934.
The gangster, who had put the
finger on Hines as political fiXer
for the gang, denied Stryker's
charge.
Weinberg had testified that, in
period of 156 days, the policy
racket had profited to a net of
$780,000, once the mob began fixing
the numbers at race tracks in New
Orleans and Cincinnati.
From this profit, he said, Schultz
took $275,000 in addition to his
regular take" but was vague about
the remaining amount of approx
mately 100000. Eventually, under

Legality of the circulation title
and summary of the $3.50 Every
Thursday" pension measure on the
California ballot was upheld today
in a brief filed with the California
supreme court by State Atty. Gen.
U. S. Webb
The circulation title and summary

ey they were defective, but Webb
denied this.
Webb, in the brief, asserted the
measure was not of tax nature.
Referring to provisions of the
proposal under which the state
would issue $50 weekly in warrants
to every unemployed elector over
SO, Webb said there was nothing in
the measure which would compel
acceptance of the warrants as legal
tender.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the immediate cause Of this in
fection has not as yet been def.
nitely determined, factors which
have to do with its development
are known to veterinarians.
Damp and drafty sleeping quar-.
ters, unnecessary exposure to
the elements and baths without
a. thorough drying are some of
the reasons for attacks Of this
disease.
Rheumatism is very commonly
noticed in dogs following ex.
treme exposure, especially when
they have been kept in warm
buildings prior to an outing.
Poisoning and toxins absorbed
from the intestinal tract will
also produce this painful con.
dition, as will injuries to the
muscles and sudden over-exertion
to city CANNES who have not
had sufficient daily exercise.
Protection of the patient from
exposure should be your first
thought when he shows signs Of
this serious ailment. Dry, warm
quarters with a soft bed are best
for him md gentle massage will
also help.
