PLAN RAID ON
MURDER FARM'
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Aug. IB. —
Detectives today planned to raid an
asserted "murder farm" believed to
serve, as a base of operations for a
Chinese tons whose terroristic activi-
ties were climaxed last night with
the ambush slaying of N. G; Fong-
Fong. 38, part owner of a cafe,
crumpled upon the front porch of his
home about 10 p. m-, as two men,
reported to have been Chinese, fire!
four bullets Into his abdomen. His
slayers were lying in wait, police
said, as he stepped (o his porch.
The tons, 1^1 leved responsible for
the slaying was said by officers to he
lildlbg in a big farm house In Atas-
cosa county, adjacent to Bexar ($an
Antonio) county. (
At least lli strange Chinese who
have come Into San Antonio in re'
cent months reputedly are affiliated
with the society of terrorists.
One of their totlg, police have
learned, recently appeared at a
hardware store and purchased six
.38 caliber target pistols. Tt was
bullets from two of these guns. po-
lice believe, thnt snuffed out the life
of Fong.
Terror has gripped the Chinese
colony, which numbers about 500,
for four .months^
Several of the more wealthy mer-
chants recently Went into hiding at
a rooming house, which was kept tin-
der heavy guard- Others hired at
least one special paHcejnan to patrof
the colony at night.
According to officers, members of
the On I.eons merchants association,
composed of cafe owners, grocer* and
other mercrants. have bee nthe ob-
ject of repeated attacks from' the
other lone-
been 'well paid as a class, and thf
sometimes bloody disputes over
wages (hat have rocked the railroad,
coal mining ' and other lines in the
past never have touched oil.
But since the NBA campaign be-
gan organisers have entered the re-
fineries and at several points unions,
have come into existence, with out-'
slders in control and collecting fo*>s
and dues.
Probably tlie most elaborate un.in
so far organized is at the AVood
Itlver, 111., plant of t lie Shell Pe*
troleum Corp., where the workers are
graded according lo their labor class-
ification:
Other unions have been organized
in several Texas points, and an at-
tempt is under way at one of tlx'
Tulsn refineries.
The attitude of the refiners so far
has been one of willingness to help
employes orgrinize a company union,
but less willingness to see strangers,
who may or may not be representa-
tives of the American Federation of
I«abor, come In and persuade the
workmen to part with their dollar
for membership fees and dues.
Feeling that the oil workers are
well paid in both skilled and un-
skilled classifications, and due for
Immediate adjustments in line with
the NBA program In the few cate-.
gorics which do not now fall in with
the. government's plan, refiners have
outlined possible steps to be taken
to counteract any labor action
which t liey consider of doubtful ben-
efit-
One refiner in the Wichita Falls,
Tex., area called a mass meeting fit
Ills employes and explained the NBA
sitiintion to them. He pointed 0u|
that- the refinery had been kept irtv
operation.

planned to open bids this afternoon

The commission was inclined to
look with favor on a proposition to
construct a highway connecting Hous-
ton will) Port Arthur-
.pclogatlonst~*ft;om Harris, Cham-
bers and Jefferson counties argued
to the commission that such a road
as proposed would shorten the dis-
tance between those cities and pro-
vide a .much n,«^led traffic artery.
An Investigation of the feasibility .if
the proposition was ordered.
The Chambers county delegati in
was tbid that completion of highway

an emergency project, together with
construction of grading and drainage
structures on the same highway In
Liberty county ( from the Chambers
county line north.
The commission snid it probably
would come to a decision early next
month wtitli reference to the con-
struction of a Ulgttwny through Ken-
nedy county. Surveys of propose:!
locations for the highway are be'njt
made.
The Navarro county delegation \ya
informedt ,tha t construction of a
bridge across tile Trinity river In
that county of highway 22 and the
building of that highway from Cor-
sleana to the Hill county line had
been recommended as emergency pro-
jects.
To the. Orange Leader:
"Uecently there appeared an ar«

O. W- Hooper His opening remark*
were that In the "old days" there

and this this collection was $9000,
according to tiie records In a certain

He deplored and regretted need-

It in strange how some people will
accept other people's statements as
fact, and will accept figures donated
for a purpose, In Hie same way. It
does not make any difference how
ridiculous tliese figures may be. But
I guess it would be stranger still, if

WASHINGTON. Aug. 18. (AP)~
The way was opened today for Am-

of business organizations marching
under the blue t-ngle.
A modified presidential re-emplov *
ment; agreement providing for tem-
porary minimum wages and shorter
iiours for newspaper workers was ap-
proved last night by Hugh S- ,Iohn-
soa, recovery administrator.
As approved, the temporary sched-
ule, submitted by the American
Newspaper Publishers associatlcu,
left open several controversial ques-
tions, including Insistence of the
publishers on their constitutional
right to a free press.
These questions will be determined
before, a permanent, code Is agreed
upon after public hearings and
presidential approval.
A major provision of* the tempor-
ary nsreement provides a 40-hour
work week for reporters and ntltet
editorial workers receiving less than
$85 weekly-
It also povides:
A 40-hour work week for accourt-
ing. clerical, office, service or sates
employes except a limited number of
circulation and delivery men and out-
side salesmen.
The same schedule for mechanical
workers or artisans- Publishers may1,
however, employ thepe latter a maxi-
mum week of 44 houfS' TWs any six
weeks within any si* months period
during the period of the temporary
agreement, but not more than eight
hours In any one day.
The agreement exempts hours and
wanes under contract on or before
July 1, 1938 which cannot he chang-
ed except!" by mutual consent. In
other eases a 40-cent an hour wage
was fixed for mechanical workers or
artisans, except apprenticics.

COURT UPHOLDS

ADMINISTRATION
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. (AP)—
Tli<e national industrial recovery act,
keystone of the Roosevelt, rehabilita-
tion plan, has weathered Its first
court test. ~
Justice Joseph Cox of the Dlslrlrt
of Columbia supremo court return-
ed n decision Indirectly upholding
j lie principle of tljat act because he
believes that "all laws, Including tile
constitittlpn, should be read In omer-
gencies in the light of (lie law ot
necessity-"
A group of oil refiners, led by F.
W. Fischer of Tyler, Texas, sought
an Injunction to keep Secretary
Ickes from enforcing orders prohib-
iting the Interstate shipment., of oil
produced in violation of statp regu-
hit ions. The orders, they si|d, were
unconstitutional.
Without directly discussing t.ha
constitutionality of these orders, is-
sued under the recovery act, Justice
Cox ruled:'
"In the law, It Is recognized, that
necessity confers many rights and
privileges that without the necessity
might not he conferred. It is said
that self-preservation Is tho first law
and this principle, la some, degree at
least, seems to extend to govern-
ments. " .
"There Is another maxim that 'the
safely oft he people Is the supreaie
law' and all these must be consider-
ed In dealing with emergencies.
"'Congress hns declared that a
great national emergency exists and
has Invested the president with ex-
traordinary power to meet that emer-
gency."
Consequently, Cox said (be Ickes
orders "look us If they are (lie means
ot tfce secretary carrying out the
Executive order of the president."
and denied the plea for the Injunc-
tion.
