F. D. R. Gives Coal Industry 24 Hours to Sign National Recovery Code
DEADLINE IS
SET BECAUSE
OF RIOTING!
_ I
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. —UP)—
Soft coal operators toiled today
against tonight’s presidential dead
Une to complete an NRA code for
their basic industry.
Disturbed by reports of shooting
and rioting in western Pennsylva
nia’s strike area, Pres. Roosevelt
last night gave the operators just
24 hours they requested to wind up
negotiations.
No Extension
The president indicated there
would be no extension of time. TTTe
operators renewed their conferences
near midnight, immediately after
the White House meeting.
The thousands of miners in Penn
sylvania’s bituminous coke “holi
day” walked out In protest to de
lays which have held up expected
pay increases. Mr. R-oosevelt,
through the code, wanted to stop
the strike by removing its cause.
After the conference attended by
his own industrial aides ana
spokesmen for the operators and
miners, the president said in a
Statement:
Reasons Outlined
“I have definitely outlined to
* night the urgent reasons for im
mediate agreement on a coal code.
, “Without exception the operators
present representing the major
coal producing areas and repre
sentatives of the United Mine i
Workers of America have given
me their assurance that the code
in its present form is for the large
part accept*f>ie and that in all hu
man probability this code can be
negotiated to a conclusion within
the next 24 hours—In other words
by Friday night.
“Furthermore, the wage agree
ments between the operators and
the United Mine Workers are so

Wall Street Fights
Tammany’s PlanTo
Tax Sale of Stock
NEW YORK, Sept. 15. —m— A
legal rapeir flashed out of Wall
Street today to fence with a toma
hawk. On the sidelines sat a man
whetting a battle-ax, his black eyes
blazing, his Hps saying nothing,
except:
“This is going to be no pink tea.”
That, in short, was the politico
economic line-up as the Big Town
got ready for a municipal campaign.
The rapier, threatening lawsuits,
was the brokers’ answer to Tam
many’s determined try to hack off,
for city taxes, a chunk of the gold
that passes through Wall Street
The dark-eyed, one was none other
than Fiorello H. La Guardia, fusion
candidate for mayor, spectacular
campaigner, sworn to “get” Big
Chief John F. Curry and all his
Tammany braves.
The financial heart of the na
tion pumped so with excitement
and exasperation that it was
threatening to burst and fly apart,
with mutterings that a portion of
it—in the form of a new, tax-free
stock exchange, would land in New
Jersey.
Money troubles tell much of the
story. The city, its citizens flailed
by depresson, found taxpayers call
ing for relief and thousands on
thousands of jobless seeking help.
There came a time when the city
found itself resorting to short-term
clans to avert a fiscal debacle.
The bankers would grant the
loans and say “economize.” The last
time the city went to the well the
lid was on. No loan.
“Waste and worse did it,” said
Tammany’s critics. “Get rid of the
useless jobholders.”
“It’s for the unemployed and ne
cessary,” said Tammany’s friends.
Samuel Untermeyer, elderly law
yer, famous investigator of the
stock market in the Pujo inquiry
years ago, appeared as the city’s
fiscal advisor.
He devised a means to raise $40,
000,000 by taxation. The program
dealt Wall Street a blow—taxes on
brokers’ incomes and stock trans
fers. Taxes also on public utilities,
savings banks, and insurance com
panies.
“Boo!” cried stock market march
erf in the NRA parade as they
came to the stand where Mayor
John P. D’Brien stood. The gov
ernor of New Jersey invited the
stock market to move over, tax-free.
“Contemptible,” said Untei reyer,
of that invitation.
Yesterday, the board of aldermen
approved the tax program, which is
due to be signed Sept. 21. It in
cludes besides the taxes mentoned,
levies on taxi riders and a boost in
water rates.
Thomas-Morris To
Distribute Schlitz
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BENITO, Sept. 15.—A pio
neer San Benito firm has been
selected as the distributor for a
pioneer brewery.
The Thomas-Morris Produce Co.,
has been selected to distribute
Schlitz, “the beer that made Mil
waukee famous," in Cameron and
Willacy counties, it was announced
Friday by M. W. and Louie Mor
ris, firm members.
Both bottled and draught beer
will be handled by the local firm
which has been in business in the
Valley for over 12 years with con
nections at a large number of
points.
Warehouse of the company was
damaged by the storm and until it
can be rebuilt, the Aztec Bldg, will
be used as a temporary warehouse,
it was stated. Repair of the firm’s
own building is expected to be com
pleted in about 60 days.
The company owns a large fleet
of trucks which will be available to
give quick delivery of Schlitz.
Schlitz has been nationally known
for many years and was first to in
troduce the use of brown bottles to
keep out certain light rays that
affect beer.

STARR COUNTY
OIL ACTIVITY
BEGINS AGAIN
- #
Special to The Herald)
RIO GRANDE CITY, Sept. 15.—
Starr and Hidalgo county oil activ
ity probably will be considerably in
creased during the coming week as
the result of recovery from last
week’s hurricane during the Dast
several days.
Derricks were being rebuilt on
several locations after they had
toppled over in the tailwinds of the
hurricane. Several other tests were
rigging up and will be drilling
during the coming week.
Hits Salt Water
Sun Oil company’s No. 3-A. M.
Guerra Sc Son, considered one of
the most promising locations in
Starr county and one of the most
important tests in the area, was
reported as making salt water on a
drill stem test during the past
week. The test is located about
1,800 feet from the southeast and
1,100 feet from the southwest lines
of Las Cuevitas survey and in
Share 9 of that survey. The test
was reported last week to have
cored a rich sand at 2,283-2,670
feet. The failure was something of
a disappointment and a surprise.
Late this week* the test was re
ported drilling below 3,000 feet to
explore lower formations.
The Sun is reported to have
made location for the No. 4-A. M.
Guer ra& Son, which is approxim
ately 3,300 feet from the southwest
and 3.300 feet from the southeast
lines of Las Cuevitas Survey and in
Share 9 of the survey. Machinery
will be moved to the location at
once from one of the other nearby
Sun tests.
Four Tests Ready
Four tests are now rigging up and
another is drilling in the imme
diate vicinity of the Jeffries-Lam

to top the sand at any time.
STANTON PUTS
KILLING BLAME
ON DEAD MAN
TTTLIA, Sept. 15. (if)i-The claim
that Glenn Hunsucker killed Sheriff
J. C. Moseley was made by Ed
“Ferchmouth” Stanton, on trial
here for murder in connection with
the shooting of the Swisher couuty
officer.
Sheriff Moseley was shot in his
car two blocks from the Tulia court
house last Jan. 22, after he had pur
sued and overtaken two men and a
woman he wanted to question.
Stanton testified that when the
shooting began, he took refuge be
hind the car and then back of a
pillar at a nearby filling station. Aft
er the firing ceased, he said he saw
Hunsucker remove a rifle from
Sheriff Moseley’s car. Stanton said
he was unarmed at the time.
Hunsucker was shot to death by
New Mexico officers near Carnzo
last July, the day before Stanton
was captured. Both were under in
dictment in the Moseley case and
officers had been hunting for them.
They also were under indictment
for murder in connection with the
shooting of Deputy Sheriff Joe
Brown at Rhome.
Doyle Meeks, a state witness re
called by the defense, testified it
was Hunsucker who killed Deputy
Brown, the same week Sheriff Mose
ley was shot.

HIS CONSTIPATION
Delicious Cereal Brought New 1
Health to Mr. Bartholomew
We miote from his voluntary let
ter: “l had considerable trouble
with my stomach. Digestion was
out of the question. I got medicine
which gave me only temporary
relief.
“Then I thought of taking All
Bran. I started eating a cereal dish
ful two or three times a day.
“It has been over a year now
since I ate that first dish of bran,
but from that day to this I have had
the pleasure of enjoying the proper
functioning of the digestive organs.
“Thanks to All-Bran. I still eat
it regularly and like it better all
the time.”—Lester Bartholomew.
Cadillac, Mich.
Constipation is usually due to
lack of “bulk” to exercise the intes
tines, and vitamin B to promote
elimination. All-Bran supplies
both, as well as iron for the blood.
The “bulk” in All-Bran is much
like that of leafy vegetables. Cer
tainly this food is more natural
than taking harmful patent medi
cines. Two tablespoonfuls daily
will overcome most types of consti
pation. With each meal in chronifw
cases. If not relieved this way, set V
your doctor.
