Even in Argentina, where the novelis spent considerable ne, Ibanez could not remain quiet. He had a publishing house there where he printed his own work, but eventually his taste for re- form involved him in trouble in con- mection with the Cuban insurrection and he went to Italy. Later he went o Spain, where he was court-martialed and sentenced to four years' imprison- ment, which served only to give him time to think of new hard things to say about the tyranny of kings and generals. ‘The novelist's most sensational mental explosion occurred when Primo de Rivera took over the reins of govern- ment in his native Spain. The writer's biasts against the dictator often made the French government uncomfortable and when the author finally published 8 startlingly violent attack upon King! Alfonso he was allowed to understand | that such attacks were a violation of | France's political hospitality. Two generations older than the mod- ernist school of today, Ibanez never- theless was regarded as a true modern. | He welcomed all progress, particularly | in politics Many of his books dealt with old traditions. but he thought much about new problems. and his next | book was to have been “Youth of the World ™ He was f: ful all his life to repub- lican principles and attacked the Span- isn monarchy. although he foresaw that the Spanish government would confis- | cate his property in Spain.

E v 28.—Four high officials of the Southern Pacific Railroad were held in contempt of court in a decision handed down shere today by Federal Judge J. C. Hutche- son, jr. in which the executives are charged with violating an injunction is- sued August 3. 1927, forbidding them to interfere with organization activities of employes. Thos> cited were H. M. Lull. execu- tive vice president: G. S. Waid, vicz president and general manager: J. G. Taran, assistant to Mr. Woid, rnd W B. Mann, superintenéent of the El Paso division. Judge Hutcheson's decision ended a series of hearings which began in July, The officials were ordered to ap- pear in Judge Hutcheson's court for sentence at 10 am. next Friday Actions Attacked. The decision handed down by Judge Hutcheson follows “It appears to the court after full consideration that the _d-fendants. Texas & New Orleans Railway Co. (subsidiary of the uthern Pacific), H. M. Lull, G. S§. Wald. J. G. Tarian and W. R. Mann, have violated the court’s injunction issued August 3, 1927, snd have interfered with, influenced and. coerced. with respect to their free and untrammelied right of selecting or designating their representatives, some of the plaintiffs and some of the class represented by them. Litigation in the case began after months of negotiation between officlals of the railroad and representatives of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, who were unable to agree on an In- creased wage scale. The Federal Arbi- tration Board failed to effect a com- promise The brotherhood. through its repre- sentative, John W. Harper, of San An- tonio, began a fight for an injunction against the railroad under the 1925 raii- way labor act. At hearings last August when the in- junction was granted, it was alleged that railroad officials were actively en- gaged in promoting a rival union, the Association of Rallway Clerks. Petition Presented. In September the brotherhood pre- sented a petition alleging that the in- junction had been violated and asking that four Southern Pacific officlals be held in contempt. It was alleged that the head of the as- sociation was being kept on the com- pany payroll while performing no actual services, that letters of the association | were being sent through company mail | that the rafiroad maintained an office for the association in the Grand Central Station at Houston and | that officials of the brotherhood had had their pass privileges removed. J. H. Tallichet, attorney for the Southern Pacific, countered with the ' assertion that a secret ballot had re- vealed that the association represented | a majority of the clerks and that under the law the rallroad had recognized the | organization. Lists of authorization for | the association were presented to the court, but the brotherhood claimed the rolls included men who were not work- ing for the Southern Pacific, janitors and personal office workers, such as pri- Vate secretari e not_eligible The case had been taken under ad- visement by Judge Hutcheson after sey- eral hearings and m,ng of afidavits, DEPABTMENT TO OPEN FIGHT ON TEXAS PEST Agzriculture Forces Will Unite for Pink Campaign Against Boll Worm.
