Thursday at the Queen Theatre Brownsville.
STRIKERS
(Continued from Page One)
curred as men of the 7 o'clock shift
reported for work at the plant.
The principal clash occurred
when Inspector Berg attempted to
rescue Myers. Several gas bombs j
were thrown along the picket line. |
The bombs apparently of a new
type exploded with a flash and a
loud noise striking terror among
the pickets.
The line was broken but a brisk
breeze quickly carried away the
fumes and the pickets re-formed
The men picked up unexploded
bombs and threw them Into the
plant.
Apparently as far apart as when
the strike first started General
Motors and the United Automobile
Workers of America made no
further moves toward a peace con-
ference. Governor Prank Murphy
still hopeful was in Washington to
discuss the strike with labor de-
partment officials and others.
Murphy did not identify those
with whom he expected to confer
except to say 'federal officials." |
but he added that he did not plan
to talk with President Roosevelt.
In Washington Secretary of La-
bor Prances Perkins said Governor
Murphy would talk with her. She
said it is necessary to "find some
way out of what appears to be an
impasse.” She added that the
president has no intention at
present to intervene.

To all of you I can only say that to-
day I am reconsecrated andfrededi-
cated. in sll humility to the tasks
that lie ahead.' Allred said.
“The.'-e tasks are easy by compari-
son with those which confronted us
two years ago. Due to the benefi-
cence of the Almighty and to our
own efforts the prospect as we face
forward is far brighter now than
then.
Mill Have Problems
"We still have however our press-
ing problems...they are chiefly fi-
nancial. With the right kind of

force.
"Today you and I still stand
pledged by the faith of the people

"We must go forward. We must

“To do that the hand of privilege
must be kept from the halls of gov-
ernment. Its influence must never
find lodgment in our official ac-
tions. The people not the interests
must be kept continuously "in the
saddle ' If we are to carry out our
pledges if we want to really serve
tiie people we must be patriots.
"Members of the forty-fifth legis-
lature. I propose to you a continua-
tion of our working partnership to-

Read what Mrs. I. A. Baker. SIR
Last Harrison St.. Harlingen inear
here! a highly respected lady of this
vicinity said recently in talking with
the Gly-C'as Man at the City Drug
Store. 1144 Washington St. this
city.
“I was very much worried over
mv condition until I began this new
Gly-C'as.'* said Mrs Baker. “For
thirty years I had been troubled
with my kidneys constipation also
caused me much distress the past
fifteen years. My entire system had
become so clogged with poisons that
I my stomach was disordered too. I
could not eat and enjoy my meals
knowing how I was sure to suffer
with gas and bloating afterwards.
My kidneys caused me to get up
nights back pained dreadfully and
I would have to stay in bed for three
days at a time not able to sit up.
Then too. dizzy spells and head-
aches added la mv discomfort and
there seemed to be little I could
about it. Everything I tried seen efi
to lose its effect when pitted against
my case—but not this new Gly-C'as
oiire 1 gave it the opportunity to
help me my health troubles were
soon at an end."
“Before j had finished my first
hot of Gly-C'as I was able to give
this testimonial.'* continued Mrs.
Baker. “My headaches and dizzy
spells were easily eliminated. The
swelling in mv feet and ank'es van-
ished. gas pains eliminated kidneys
I (Mi' r improved and I am feeling
like an entirely different person. I
now eat and sleep fine and cannot
say ha' enough in praising this one
medicine of all medicines that does
exactly as t claims.'*
The Gly-C'as Man is daily meet-
ing crowds of local people at the
City Drug Store 1144 Washington
Street this city and introducing
and explaining the action of this
valuable new medical discovery.—
