NO LABOR TROUBLE
Bethlehem Steel Co. Denies Story
Denial that there is a strike at the
Bethlehem Steel Company's plant in
Pennsylvania and that the 350 Mexi-
can laborers recruited here recently
were taken to Pennsylvania for strike
breaking purposes was made by offi-
cials of the Bethlehem Company
Thursday morning in telegrams to the
Mexican consul general here and to the
San Antonio labor agency through
which the Mexicans were obtained.
The denial followed inquiries sent to
the company by the labor agency and
the consul general following a story
published here Wednesday under a
Bethlehem date line that Mexicans
were taken there for strike breaking
purposes and intimating that trouble
between the Mexicans and union labor-
ers might follow.
Denial of this was made in both tele-
grams and the statement branded ns
propaganda to divert labor elsewhere.
George W. Vary manager of the em-
ployment ami welfare department of
the Bethlehem Co. who came to San
Antonio to oversee the recruiting of
the laborers and who signed a con-
tract on behalf of the company that
was considered by Inbor agents and
the officials of the consulate here to be
one of the fairest to the laborers ever
drawn up in his reply to the wire sent
him by the San Antonio labor agency
stated “No strike or trouble of any
kind at Bethlehem. Evidently propa-
ganda to divert labo relsewhere.”
The story published from Bethlehem
at length described the Mexicans and
their peculiarities and stated that the
people of Bethlehem were afraid of
them when they gathered in small
knots. It also told’of their habit of
fighting with knives staling that more
than a dozen of them were in the in-
firmary from knife wounds received in
fights among themselves. In his wire
to the Mexican Consul General Alejan-
dro Lubhert. Mr. Vary said that there
was no truth in the statement. “None
of the men have been injured” he
stalw. “Ten were sent to the hos-
pital with colds and grippe contracted
on the trip but they are all well. Men
are satisfied. Consul at Philadelphia
can investigate if felt necessary.”

Old Darkeys in Attendance
at Confederate Reunion;
Veterans Make Great
Plans for Parade—Busi-

By Ihr Associated Pres*.
New Orleans La. April 12.—“ An"
when Marse Robert wuz ridin’ along
on his big boss in front 'uv de battle
line an' saw me 'side him. he yells:
“ ‘Git away fum dis firin’ line. Wil-
liam. an’ git back on de animal line.
Fust thing you know you’ll git shot
an' I won't have any cook.’ ‘An’ Sho’
nuff. I gits shot a minute after that;
right in de wilderness too.' ”
So spoke the Rev. William Mack
Lee. of Norfolk Va„ body servant and
cook for the Confederate chieftain as
he told of his war experience yesterday
during a brief recess of the Confeder-
ate Veteran reunion.
The old darky his coat and vest
resplendant with reunion badges gar-
nered at a score or more of such gath-
erings was the center of a throng of
veterans and members of the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy all day and
until late in the evening.
He was attired in an old gray uni-
form and with half dozen other white
haired negroes present held an in-
formal reception that continued with-
out interruption.
A. H. Mays of Houston Texas 90
years old. is making great plans for
the annual parade tomorrow for he
says it probably will be the last one in
which he will participate.
Another Texan. Amon Smith of
Paris brought his fiddle along with
hitn ami is giving impromptu concerts
wherever he happens to find a crowd
that will listen.
A. M. Costa an 80-year-old veteran
of this city stopped yesterday where
Smith was playing. The music got
into his feet. He took in his arms the
nearest sponsor and amid the applause
of the onlookers gave a perfect exhibi-
tion of the fox trot.
Old Timers Dance.
And Comrade Costa is not the only
one who can still trip lightly. A
crowd of college boys and girls in-
vaded the lobby of one of the hotels
last night with mandolins guitars and
ukuleles and struck up a tune and in
a moment the boys and girls of the six-
ties were on the floor with a veteran
calling the figures.
Gen. W. B. Haldeman for many
years one of the best known newspa-
per men in the country "and life-time
commander-in-chief of the Orphans
Brigade probably Kentucky’s most
famous unit in the Confederate Army
brought to New Orleans from Louis-
ville a whole load of comrades.
General Haldeman paid their rail-
“I AM confidant I would not
* be alive today if I had not
taken Tanlac when I did” de-
clares Mra. M. A. Thompson
of Atlanta in telling of her re-
markable restoration by the
celebrated medicine.
“Tanlac has won my life-long
praise for I firmly believe it saved
my life” says Mrs. M. A. Thompson
152 Crescent Ave. Atlanta Ga.
“I had not known what it was to
be free from the tortures of indi-
gestion hardly a day for sixteen year-
and frequently had such attacks I
thought every moment would be my
last. During all this sixteen years 1
sought relief from every source and
finally gave up in despair. I had
fallen off to a mere skeleton and
thought I would just have to resign
myself to my fate.
“As a last resort I bought a bottle
of Tanlac and it helped me so much
I took two more bottles. It restored
me so complexly that 1 feel as well
and strong as 1 ever did. even when
a girl. I kept on gaining weight
until I am now fifty-five pounds
heavier than I was. There is nothing
too good I can sa.v for Tanlac."
Tnnlac is sold by all good drug
gists. Accept no substitute. Over
37 million bottles sold.

here. He didn't tell about it. although
the information came from one of his
guests.
General Haldeman was not the only
one to see that veterans who could not
bea» the expense were given the op-
portunity to attend the reunion. The
Atlanta chapter of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy sent nearly
100 of them. •
The only woman Confederate vet-
eran is here. She is Mrs. E. L. Car-
ney. of Ocala Fla. elected for life be-
cause she has attended 20 reunions be-
fore this one and has devoted all of her
energies to entertaining the old fel-
lows. who. because of the sheer force
of numbers were shunted to one side.
Mrs. Carney is matron of honor for

committee for the army of Tennessee
and a member of General Carr’s recep- 1

Those who ean perform on the fife
are shattering the atmosphere in the
vicinity of their quarters with their
