Striking students of the Mexican

there until their demands were met.
Police did not molest them.
A red flag hoisted by the strikers

other was draped from a second

Several university officials seized

THE FIRST BALE Of cotton is
due to leave Edcouch some time
Wednesday.
But there is a question as to
where it is going.
Houston Cotton Exchange has
definitely announced It will not be
auctioned off there.
Proposal that the bales be hand
led in Galveston. Corpus Christ!
and Dallas are said to have been
made.
Houston cotton men In years
passed made quite a ceremony of
the first bale and always in spirited
bidding boosted the price until the
grower received a prise of several
hundred dollars.
Because of the richness of the
prize, of late years, some things
were done which members of the
Houston exchange considered un
ethical.
They charged that volunteer cot
ton was picked and sent to them
as a first bale of new crop, and
even that some seed cotton was
held over from the year before and
ginned as new ootton.
Because of these things the Ex
change has turned thumbs down
on the first bale this year.

bardment of President Hoover's or
der barring oil prospects from gov

Into small groups, each trying to
clear a trail to the ultimate ob
ject. an interstate compact which
would control production.
Most Important of the groups,
the delegations from Texas. Okla
homa and California, gathered
around the breakfast table with
Chairman Mark L. Requa to en
joy lamb chops and to mentally di
gest the tougher subject of what the
Big Three of. the oil producing
spates can do toward bringing
about a compact.
Social Life Interfered
The work to be done at the
breakfast was left over from last
night because two members of the
Oklahoma delegation had engage

to a general meeting later in the
day some program or policy to
which the conference could pledge

Although the storm which the
representatives from the Rocky

Hoover order apparently had spent
its force there were still distant
but definite rumblings which indi
cated that It might return. Sev
eral of the delegations were In ses
sion today discussing the advisabil

tertain a resolution condemning tfc*

Feel Hopeful
The taperine down of the con

ble general sessions of the first two
days into the small croups of to

chances of adoption of a program

Capt. Albtn Ahrenberg. Swedish flier

flight today testing repairs made af

The aviators were up at • o'clock

After breakfast they boarded their
swaplane Sverige and made the trial

Apparently unaffected by the de

were merry and optimistic of suc

however, concerning their plans,
having private writing contracts
