doba was further complicated by
a continuing transport strike.
In Buunus Aires, tho port
strike continued although rcpro
sentutlves of tho employers ex
pressed hopo that an agreement
would be reached with steve
dores before the end of the week.
In Mar Del Plata, tho coun

Tho gamblers formed a narado
In the shape of an "L", for lib
erty, in front of the casino. Po
lice dispersed them with tear
gas. Later there was a shooting
in front of the casino between
two unidentified groups and two
persons were wounded slightly.
A spokesman for the business
leaders said an extension of the
lockout would be considered If
no solution was reached by
Wednesday,
Workors last week had threat
ened a general strike in Argen
tina In protest against refusal of
employers to pay homines and
wage increases, Numerous places
were closed ond sit-down
strikes wero common.
Opponents of Col, Juan Pcron,
candidate for tho presidency In
the election next month, said the
government riocrce was chiefly
for his benefit and an open bid
for labor votes.
The permanent committee
which ordered the lockout dis
closed that in its negotiations
with the government, it had pro
posed a 00-day postponement ln
the wage-bonus decree to allow
the situation to be studied with
out it becoming on issue In the

Canner Gauges
Need Testing
Many a homcmakcr who dis
covered that tho gauge on her
pressure canner was not func
tioning properly at the height
of the canning season will
profit by last year's mistakes
and bring the gauge to the
county homo extension service
to bo tested in Junuury or
February, according to Mrs.
Wlnnlfrcd K. Gillcn, county
homo demonstration agent.
Pressure canner gauges and
valves may bo entrusted to the
home demonstration agent's of
fice for testing, says Mrs. Gil
len, because they aro sent to
the Oregon State college foods
industries department for ex
pert checking, to sec that they
aro in perfect working order.
A nominal charge is made for
the testing service, and the in
strument is returned with the
correction lettered on a tag at
tached to the gauge. Gauges
and valves should be brought
to room 208, Federal building,
or mailed directly to the foods
Industries department, Oregon
State college, Corvallis. The
complete Instrument should bo
removed from the lid of tho
pressure canner, Mrs. Glllen ex
plained, and, if mailed, should
be carefully protected with
packing material. It Is essential
that all gauges be checked bo
fore each canning season, if the
homemoker Is to guard against
food spoilage. Testing of the
valve is optional, depending on
whether it seems to be function
ing properly,
