ties between the Brazos and Red riv-

was there a marked excess. Rain fell
on three or four days in the northern
and in one or two northwestern and
coast counties. Elsewhere by far the
greatest number of days were with
out rain and there was a general

beginning of the week in Hays coun-
| ty, which was attended by high wind
| and did some damage in the vicinity
| of San Marcos.
! The temperature was from two to
over four degrees above the normal
except in extreme western counties
where it averaged normal 1t con
tinued remarkably uniform through
| out the week and the daily maxima
| in most localities were well into the

sweeney SERVES
NOTICE

Sweeney has declared himself to
the other employee sof the Wash
ington Water Power company. Ev-
erybody knows Sweeney, not
Sweeney the banker, but Sweeney
the man who starts and stops the
cars at Riverside and Howard.
Sweeney used to be a motor man
himself, but was promoted to his
present position Of power and a
few cents added to his salary.
Sweeney fully realizes the great
responsibilities imposed on him by
the company, and having been
taken care of himself he evidently
believes that every one else should
be satisfied. When he heard that
the other men employed by the
company were joining the union
against the express wishes Of the
owners and officers he was highly
incensed, and gathering little
group Of carmen around him he
proceeded TO tell them WnaC WOuld
happen if they persisted in exercis-
ing their right as Americans and
in joining an organization for mu-
tual protection and advancement.
Among other things Sweeney
told the men that they would be
fired just as rapidly as the com.
pany could secure men to take
their places. Employees of the com.
pany regard him as a sort Of para.
site, willing to sit around and profit

I st,er conditions but will do moth.
ing himself to help. According to
local union men Sweeney would be
working today for 50 per day II 1t
