MM GROUPS
THREATEN TO
BLOCKWORK
$600000000 Industry
Tie-up Threatens At
Midnight If Plans
Materialize
NEW YORK April 30. (£*j—An-
racite operators and United Min*
Workers’ representatives struggled
Thursday against each other and a
midnight deadline to avert a disas-
trous tie-up in that $600000000 in-
dustry.
Barring eleventh hour recession
by either operators or miners the
joint conference group of fourteen
representing the two sides which
was prepared for conversations
Thursday remained deadlocked on
. every point of the two-months-old
wage contract impasse.
After a late night session of the
Miners’ Guiding agency the full
■cale committee John L. Lewis
union president announced it had
received and discussed settlement
proposals laid before it by its con-
ference committee. He would make
no statement as to the nature of
these proposals or the full scale
committee’s reaction to them.
The present labor pact effective
now under a thirty-day extension
expires at midnight (D. D. T.) Thurs-
day union spokesmen said adding
that the union’s 106000 members
will not work beyond that time un-
less a new contract is signed.
On March 24 when an agreement
before the end of the month ap-
peared unlikely the fourteen nego-
tiators — seven representing each
side—agreed on the thirty-day ex-
tension while deliberations contin-
ued.
The mine workers asked the op-
erators to agree to a substantial
increase in wages a six-hour day
five-day week instead of a fort.y-
eight-houf six-day week equaliza-
tion of work to absorb some of the
40COO unemployed miners and the
complete checkoff.
In a counter proposal the oper-
ators asked the miners to return
to the wage scale of 1918. They
estimated it would involve a twenty-
two per cent reduction. The union
contended it amounted to twenty-
seven per cent.

Poor Movie Queens Must Eat and Eat
So Lovely Waistlines Will Not Shrink
By BOBBIN COONS
HOLLYWOOD April 29. — For
many of Hollywood’s actresses life
could be all beer and skittles die-
tetically speaking.
Instead of watching their calories
to prevent the acquisition of furtive
pounds these girls take weighty
measures to maintain or increase
their poundage. Their diets are
anything but the lettuce-leaf-and-
dry toast variety.
Ann Dvorak’s weight figured in a
recent court wrangle with her stu-
dio employers. She is one of the
girls whose weight worries are on
the other side of the scales.
Fay Wray intent on gaining five
pounds before starting a new film
is campaigning for abundant sleep
outdoor exercise and “three
squares.” Jeanette MacDonald
weight 118 thinks that is too little.
She drinks six pints of milk daily
eats white bread (remember when
that was tabu from movie menus?)
and takes dessert thank you as a
rule.
Loretta Young convinced it is
twice as difficult to gain weight as
to lose it takes six meals daily in-
stead of three. She drinks milk
copiously has candy and pastries
in prescribed amounts but meat
only once daily. She actually gets
tired of eating.
Elizabeth Allan now in Englard
used to be happy over her slender
ness because it allowed her choco-
late malted milks — a drink she
reports is difficult to duplicate in
London. She does not believe how-
ever in dieting to gain weight con-
vinced by experience that it does
her no good.
Anita Louise on the other hand
works hard at keeping above 108
pounds. Egg-and-milk drinks once
a day vegetables with each of three
meals and a glass of steak juice (for
energy) before retiring make up
her dietary routine.
Rochelle Hudson now making her
sixth consecutive film ordinarily is
not bothered by weight problems
but recently has taken measures to
resist the wearing effects of hot sun
arcs and long hours. A special
wheat cereal orange juice and milk
have been added to her customary
breakfast of toast and coffee.
Eleanore Whitney (normal weight
98 pounds) says she would dance
away some 10 pounds but for the
system of equalizing exercises she
practices three times weekly. Joan
Bennett prefers strength - building
cereals and cheeses. Her sister
Constance also belongs to the bat-
tlers against underweight. When
working Rosalind Keith takes ba-
nanas and cream along with break-
fast and drinks a quart of milk
during the day.
Maureen O’Sullivan finds energy
in a simple before-breakfast rou-
tine: one glass of orange juice into
which the yolk of an egg has been
beaten.
Bible School At
Mission Planned
(Special to The Herald)
MISSION April 30. —Rev. E. R.
McWilliams pastor of the First
Christian chnrch here has been
selected as director of the ten-day
Daily Vacation Bible school which
will begin early in June. The Chris-
tian Presbyterian and Methodist
churches are cooperating in the
school which will give a ten-day
training course to children from
five to fifteen years of age.
Mesdames Ray Brooks F. W.
Dooley and E. R. McWilliams com-
pose the executive board.
Tomato Meetings
Are Held Weekly
(Special to The Herald)
RIO HONDO April 30.—All farm-
ers in the Rio Hondo district have
been urged to attend the weekly
tomato meetings each Monday night
at the high school.
Officials of the growers announce
the weekly meetings are to be held
during the tomato season. Major
aims of the farmers are to eliminate
cull tomatoes from the markets.
CONSTIPATED* 25
YEARS ALL-IRAN
BROUGHT RELIEF
Delicious Cereal Corrected
His Condition
Here is Mr. Johnson’s letter: “I
got a package (of Kellogg's All-
Bran) and before the package
was gone I was very much better.
“So I have been eating it for two
or three weeks and my constipa-
tion* has gone and I was consti-
pated* for 25 years or more. Hop-
ing this may help some one to bet-
ter health. I am a new friend to
Kellogg’s All-Bran.”—Mr. J. B.
Johnson Lake Charles La.
Mr. Johnson’s letter is one of
many. Millions find Kellogg’s All-
Bran corrects constipation* satis-
factorily. It supplies the “bulk”
missing in the average American
The “bulk” in All-Bran is mild
and effective. It absorbs moisture
and gently exercises and cleanses
the intestines. All-Bran *1so sup-
plies vitamin B and iron.
Isn’t it more sensible to use this
natural food instead of taking pat-
ent medicines? Just eat two table-
spoonfuls daily. If not relieved
see your doctor.
Use as a cereal with milk or
cream or cook into muffins breads
etc. It is sold by all grocers. Made
by Kellogg in Battle Creek.

SUBMARINE TO
VISIT HARBOR
Senator Connally Promises
Underseas Craft Will
Come Here Soon
•
People of South Texas will have
an opportunity some time during
the summer of seeing a new U. S.
submarine at the Port of Browns-
ville according to a telegram re-
ceived by The Herald from Sena-
tor Tom Connally.
The Herald wired Senator Con-
nally asking if he would endeavor
to bring a submarine here for the
port opening. The new submarines
Shark and Tarpon are to be at
Galveston and Houston May 1 and
12 respectively.
Senator Connally wired that navy
officials said the schedule for these
two submarines has been made and
can not be changed. However they
assured him that a submarine would
call at the port here in the near
future.
Although the submarines are
about 300 feet in length they draw
only about eight feet of water when
travelling on the surface. In the
Brownsville turning basin one of
the submarines could give an in-
teresting exhibition of submerging
as similar feats have been done in
other port tinning basins.
War Dud Explodes In Palestine
KFAR SABA Palestine (Palcor)
—A kettle hung from a tripod over
a fire in a farmyard of this pre-war
Jewish colony was blown to smith-
ereens when a grenade dropped by
some German or Turkish soldier re-
treating before the British advance
let go. Search of the yard reveal-
ed another “live” relic of 1918.
