TWO MORE RIFLES OF
HAMILTON FOUND
McKINNEY, March 1.—Raymond
Hamilton roved today minus the ser-
vices of two of his automatic rifles.
Two more of the rifles the Texas
death house fugitive stole from a
Beaumont armory several days ago
were found last night when a group
of officers raided one of his arms
caches near here.
COUNCIL ASKS SECRET
AUTO STRIKE VOTE
DETROIT, March 1.—The National
Council of United Automobile Work-
ers called today for a secret strike
vote among members of 176 Ameri-
can Federation of Labor locals in the
motor car industry. The action' cli-
maxed growing dissension between
the A. F. of L. and the National
Automobile Labor Board.
Francis J. Dillon, A. )F. of L.
organizer, who announced the action,
said the order did not necessarily
mean a strike would be called, as
only the federation’s national officers
had that authority. He intimated
the order may have been issued in
an effort to determine just how strong
the federation is in the industry.
Explaining the step had been taken
because of the federation’s dissatis-
faction with methods the Automobile
Labor Board has used in conducting-
collective bargaining elections in au-
tomotive plants, Dillon said:
“Now is the time to find out, once
and for all, whether the workers in
the automobile industry want the
American Federation of Labor. If
they want the union,- we will find it
out through these strike * votes. If
they don’t, well . . .”
Approximately 200,000 workers now
are directly employed in the auto-
mobile industry. The labor board
has already canvassed 89,273 of these
woi-kers in collective bargaining com-
mittee elections, and found only 3,-
926 of them reporting A. F. of L.
affiliation. The elections showed 66,-
821 reporting no labor union affilia-
tion.
Dillon declined today to estimate
the number of federation members
William
Constable John A. Record, leader
in - the unsuccessful ambuscade near i employed in the industry
here Sunday night, led the raiding j Green, federation president, who was
party_ j here last week, estimated the mem-
Constable Record found four of 'the
rifles last week.
Last night’s haul left Ray with
only two rifles.

Announcement
This is to announce the part-

and W. M. Brook, with offices
over Wilson Drug Store. After

fice there in addition to the

bers in good standing numbered about
20,000. He claimed approximately
the same number had fallen in ar-
rears because of unemployment.
Dillon, in his statement said: “The
present tense situation has been pre-
cipitated by the policy and tactics
of the Automobile Labor Board.”
Automobile workers, he said, “have
for years complained of speedup sys-
tems, bonus system, merit systems,
discriminations, intimidations, 1 o w
wages and long hours . . . and the
board has failed utterly to accomplish
one single reform. The elections set
up by Dr. Wolman represent nothing
but the legalization of the company
union.”
The motor car industry at present
is engaged in its heaviest production
program since 1930, with an indicated
output for the year of at least 3,-
350,000 passenger cars and trucks.

FARMER KILLS CROWS
v IN NOVEL MANNER
The depredation of a large num-
ber of crows irked a Holland (Texas)
farmer who conceived a novel idea of
eradicting them. All it takes to in-
duce a crow to commit suicide, he
said, is to feed it a grain of corn
with a horse hair drawn through it.
The farmer took a quantity of corn
and through grain made a small hole
in which he inserted a horse hair.
He put the corn out where the birds
could find it easily and awaited re-
sults.
The birds ate the corn readily but
were unable to completely swallow
the hair trailing from each side of
the kernels. The irritation caused
by the hair in the throats made the
crows frantic, for in every instance
they turned over on their backs and
clawed desperately at their throats
and some slashed their throats with
their sharp claws while others appar-
ently succumbed to exhaustion in
their futile efforts to remove the
hairs. The farmer counted 54 dead
birds after his first batch of “haired”
corn had been put out.—Liberty Hill
Leader.

METHODIST CHURCH
AUSTIN, March 1.—The Texas re-
lief commission is engaged on a wa-
ter production program it hopes will
prevent a repitition of the severe
drouths suffered by the State in re-
cent years.
It was the middle of last Septem-
ber before any applications for water
production were approved but the
commission since has brought water
to or supplemented the sulply in 115
communities. The commission said
approximately 40,000 persons had
been benefited directly and it esti-
mated water had been provided for
150,000 head of livestock.
The commission has supervised the
drilling of around 90 new wells and
has deepened, cleaned and otherwise
rehabilitated some 20 more.
Perhaps the most impotant phase
of the program, particularly from
the standpoint of long time benefit,
is that dealing with construction of
dams across small streams and the
impounding of water for human and
livestock consumption.
J. B. Keely, the commission’s chief
engineer, has requested county ad-
ministrators to contact communities
interested in low water dams.
The commission said that “in some
of the Western counties are spring-
fed streams that never run dry, yet
no attempt has been made to con-
serve this water and in many in-
stances areas containing these
streams long have suffered from lack
of rainfall.”
“Now it is proposed, where pos-
sible, to dam these streams, save
much water and in some places it
may be possible to introduce the
rural rehabilitation plan by means
of irrigation,” the statement pointed
out.
The commission advised counties
to determine the most practical sites
for dams, pass resolutions accepting
liability by reason of resulting over-
flows, backwaters and the like.
Counties mu^ furnish sufficient
engineering data to enable the state
relief body to determine the desir-
ability of constructing a dam upon
the proposed site. When the com-
mission approves a project it parti-
cipates to the extent of furnishing
all labor that can be supplied from
the relief rolls and 25 per cent of the
material. The political subdivision
puts up the other 75 per cent of the
material cost.

WASHINGTON, March 1.—Oliver
Wendell Holmes carried on tonight
in his fight against pneumonia, a
“shade better” those at his bedside
said.
The physicians were satisfied when
their stethoscopes told them the 93
year old former supreme court jus-
tice was holding his own against the
disease.
Felix Frankfurter, Harvard law
school professor and an old friend of
the jurist, was pleased to tell those
awaiting word that:
“Mr. Holmes is in good spirit—he
is kidding the nurses.”
Earlier in the day Hark Howe, a
former secretary, said that physi-
cians found Holmes’ condition un-
changed.
“They considered this very encour-
aging,” Howe said. “I gathered that
they do not expect any immediate
turn for better or worse.”
Howe also announced that Justice
Holmes’ physician, Dr. Thomas A.
Claytor, had called Dr. Lewis C. Eck-
er of Washington and Dr. W. T.
Loncope of the Johns Hopkins Medi-
cal School faculty into consultation.

PRESIDENT ASKED TO VISIT
TEXAS FOR CENTENNIAL
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 1.—
An invitation to attend the Texas
Centennial in 1936 was extended Pres-
ident Roosevelt Friday by a group
of prominent Texans, taken to the
White House by Senators Morris
Sheppard and Tom Connally. The
president said that he could not give
a definite answer at this time, but
is very hopeful that he will find it
possible to make the trip to the
Lone Star State.
With the invitation, the Texans
presented to the president one of the
specially coined Texas Centennal half
dollars. The presentation was made
by Miller Ainsworth of Luling, state
commander of the American Legion,
the organization which is selling the
coins to help defray expenses of the
Centennial celebration.
In addition to the two senators
and Ainsworth, members of the party
to visit the president were Gen.
Claude Birkhead of San Antonio,
George Waverly Briggs of Dallas,
J. P. Rice of Dallas and Pompeo
Coppini, former Texan and designer
of the Centennial coin.

with Ralph Smith Fults and “divers
other? persons” with conspiring to
harbor and conceal Raymond Hamil-
ton,” federal fugitive from justice.
