Labor Day. Celebration Ex-
pected to Bring 25,000
To Fort Worth Expo
Plans for the Labor Day cele-
bration here —an event likely to be
the largest of its kind ever ‘ held
in Fort Worth — were shaping up
today.
City labor leaders were informed
today that the Waco Trades and
Labor Council voted last night
unanimously for all' organizations I
affiliated with the council to
abandon local Labor Day plans
and come to Fort Worth instead.
The Waco group will travel in
a huge motorcade and will add
hundreds to the more than 25,000
that local labor leaders expect to
visit the Frontier Centennial on
that day.
Representatives of more than
1000 shopcrafts workers at the
M-K-T shops, in session at the
Waco Labor Temple, expressed the
opinion that all employesnot
necessary to operation of the
shops will join the march to Fort
Worth.
The Labor Council's decision to
visit the Frontier Centennial fol-
lowed a motion by Jim Pittillor-
Waco postmaster and publisher of
the Waco Farm and Labor Jour-
nal. He will head the delegation, .
and he heads a committee work-
ing on plans.
The Waco invitation was extend-
ed by a Fort Worth Trades As-
sembly Labor Day committee
which included President ‘ A. L.
Bailey, Chairman E. J. Bouffard,
Secretary C. W. Rogers, J. C.
Maclin, Fred Fisher, G. E. Lowe
and E. Langston.
The committee, en route to
Waco, visited newspaper plants
and labor leaders at Alvarado.
Grandview and Hillsboro, and left
invitations.

The political' pot continues to
boil in the 12th District Congress

are being held every day in hope
of, finding a candidate to pit
against the incumbent, Fritz Lan-

"Two outstanding business men
have offered their services as a

The Roosevelt Club leader told
