place he wanted. He suggested
I'VE meet on the street.
We met at noon Sunday.
Weaver and Higgs were waiting
for my brother and myself op-
posite the telephone building.
As soon as we arrived there,
Weaver suggested he and ] take
a ride around the corner IN my
car to talk it over.
This was the conversation
that took place:
He said, How is business, and
l said, Pretty good.
He remarked that the picket
line was costing them plenty and
that if paid him the cost Of the
pickets he would call off the
whole thing. I inquired how
much in money that was, and he
said $500. Therefore he promiS-
ed that if ! paid that amount the
whole thing would be forgotten.
He said he was very powerful
with the union and had great in
fluence with the men, and that
he was sure that if 1 paid, we
would get back those union men
who have stopped buying from
US since the store has been pick
eted.
Not knowing what TO think
about the proposition, I told
Weaver that / would have to give
him my answer regarding pay
ment of the $500 after I had con-
suited with my brother. He said
he would give me until 9 a. N
Monday
''On the advice of interested
friends, we contacted the law
who specifically told Us not To
pay a cent.

store until CHS a. m. Monday.

new HOSPITAL
BUILT In CUBA
FIRST OF SIX MATERNITY
INSTITUTIONS TO BE
ERECTED
Especial to The CitizenD

HAVANA, Oct. 2I.-Inaug-
urated Sept. 20, the maternity
hospital for the working mothers
of Havana Province, first of the
six. one in each province, to be
completed, brought fruition to
another of the great dreams Presi-
dent Batista started on the road to
realization while he was still chief
of the army.
In the handsome, four-story
building, more than two blocks
long and surrounded by spacious
grounds, every facility known to
modern science for the care of the
mother and child before. during
and after childbirth has been
installed. There are no wards.
The big, sunny rooms accom-
modate two patients each. There
are twelve delivery and operating
rooms.
Conditioned water is furnished
for all uses except watering the
lawns. The best gynecologists of
Havana form the staff. The whole
institution is built and main
tanned by small contributions
from the salary of each worker
augmented by similar sums paid
by each employer of labor under
laws enacted at the request of the
then chief of the army.
The president, accompanied by
the council of ministers, foreign
representatives, groups represent
ing the employers and the work
ers of Cuba, received the COM
pleted institution from its build
.ers- Many thousands of citizens
witnessed the ceremonies and ap-
plauded this new demonstration
of the constructive ability and de-
termination of a president who
makes public promises only after
having prepared the means OF
carrying them out
Like Cuba's new military cities
which have replaced the tumbling
barracks the army had when
Batista became its chief; like the
new civico-military institute
homes for orphans and infantile
orientation centers for delin-
quent children; the 1900 rural
schools and dozens of new hos
pitfalls and other institutions al
ready completed or, like the near
ly completed national tuberculosis
hospital crowning the half-mile-
high mountain of Topes de Col
lanteS, this hospital is another job
so well done that any of the most
advanced nations in the world
may take it as model when they
want to better their present facili-
ties for similar purposes.

RiVeTO Claims Union Agent 4
Offered To End PiCkGtinQ
Of Store For Sum Of $500

Ernest A. Rivero. co-operator
of the Broadway Market, today
charged Laborers' Union Business
Agent T. A Weaver with offering
to withdraw picketS from the
store if he were paid $500.
Rivero said Weaver made the
offer Sunday, and waited until
later than the usual time Monday
to put on the picketS in the hope
of collecting the money.
Weaver. whose laborers are en-
ployed by the carpenters union
to do the picketing. declined to
comment, and Clarence Higgs,
business agent of the carpenters
union, also refused to be quoted.
Pickets have been marching in
front of the Duval street market
for two weeks in a carpenters
union protest against the employ
ment of nOn-union men on a new
building being constructed for the
Rivero brothers. Rivero has con-
tended that he is not doing the
building, himself, and that the
dispute is entirely between the
union and the contractor.
Weaver. after a conference with
Mayor Willard n. Albury this
morning, had agreed to use white
picketS on the store, instead Of
the negroes who have been on
duty there.
Rivero's statement to The Citi-
zen follows:

he would like to talk things over

RANDOLPH FIELD, Tex, Oct

at Randolph Field was too big for
the 700 aviation cadets to get any

It was too simple for the pilots
to cut the throttle and 60 into a

have, with amber lights, marked

Governmental Aid To Farmer" Is
Winning Farm Address Here tuesday

away of the earth itself.
These dangers are so great
that, were it not for the paterpal
viewpoint of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, the farm
er would be forced to admit de
feat
1t is not difficult to find ex
amples to prove this. Let us con
slider, for instance, the Department
bureau that maintains the quaran
tine foreign pests and plants. In
all, the Department intercepts
about $4,000 dangerous plants and
insects every year-an undertake
ing which no farmer and no state
full of farmers could possibly &C
compish.
Consider also the foot and
mouth disease, one of the most
serious of livestock maladies.
This disease is so infectious that
laboratory experiments with the
virus are forbidden in the Depart.
ment Laboratories. In order to stop
the ruinous spread of the disease
in this country, the Department
slaughtered hundreds of thousands
of animals before the epidemic
was controlled, and millions of dol
lars were spent to pay for their
carcasses. Had the Department
not existed, the disease would
have dug in the mountains
among deer, elk, sheep, and stray
cattle, where no power on earth
could have hunted it out.
Successful also were the Depart.
mems wars upon hog cholera,
which was Threatening to destroy
one of the greatest concentrations
of Agricultural wealth in America.
Perhaps the most wide spread of
the Departments triumps has been
the virtual eradication of bovine
In 1917, when tests
were first made, an average of 5
percent of cattle were tubercular,
and in some sectio as
high as 80 percent. 1t was not un-
usual for the test to disclose that
so percent of farmers purebred
herd was infected.
Today, in 46 states, tuberculosis
is present in less than half of one
percent of cattle. Compare this
with some European countries
where so percent of the cattle are
reported to be diseased.
In the United States, although
half the milk consumed is un-
pasteurized. humans who have con-
tracted bovine tuberculosis are
now so rare that medical schools
find difficulty getting cases for
demonstrations.
Thanks to the Department, the
milk we drink is practically free
