UsURP PARENTAL AUTHORITY
Massachusetts, Mill Owners Prevent
Sending Strikers Children
Away.

The people of this country have
been inclined to leave the mill own
ers and the striking textile workers
at Lawrence, Mass, to settle their
trouble themselves. II is understood
that most OF the workers, or rather
the strikers are foreigners not in
sympathy with American laws and
institutions therefore their trou-
bles do not appeal to us in any
great force.
The climax was reached however
a few days ago and the sympathies
Of humanity are apt to be aroused in
favor OF the strikers.
The people have been out OF en-
ployment until their stores and the
resources are about exhausted
Women and children have suffer
ed for food and clothing, except
such as has been supplied from the
over taxed strike fund and through
the generosity of charitable people
and organizations.
II is apparent that the mill own
ers and the business interests have
centered upon a policy of starv-
ing the strikers into submission. The
local people have been generous In
their charities and other cities have
expressed willingness to help. The
people OF Lawrence finally decided
that II the men and women choose
no continue to strike, tho Innocent
children must not be left to die OF
starvation, therefore they arranged
for homes for fifty or more children
in other cities where the children
could be cared for for the time. They
obtained consent OF parents to take
the children away and fifty OF them
was properly tagged and ticetaoin
we're taken to the station, Each
child was properly tagged and tick
cts we're bought. Parents were there
to see their little ones on. Then
came the outrage. A troop OF police
men. rough, inhuman and armed
with clubs, guns. bayonets' etc'
came on the scene and stopped the
exodus.
Gruff orders we're uttered 20 wom-
en- to stand back and TO tho children
TO get out OF the car. The legal au-
tPcrties refused u let the child en-
he . .ried awi.y '.st Ntl the 'Sa
sent Of their parents. Such conduct
is surely in violation Of all law and
Of the spirit Of American liberty The
idea comes unbidden that the agents
OF the law we're carrying out the
wishes of the mill owners, who want
20 hold the starving children there
in homes TO hasten the striking Ia
thers TO return to work

ters and kilograms Asking
About Outcome
TT. Worth Telegram:

Though both sides in the sneed
case have practically become salts
fled that the jury is so tied up that
an agreement is impossible, there
will be no discharge OF the jury on
Monday. This much was stated by
Judge Swayne at noon. He did not
say how much longer he would hold
the jurors. but merely that he would
not discharge them any time during
the day. should they again report
a disagreement.
The jury according to It's state
ment which was published In the
Extra Star Telegram stands 7 10 5
and has stood this way ever since
II took the case. Judge Swayn issued
orders to Sheriff Johnson who has
charge OF the jury not to bring them
into court any more except in case
OF a verdict or a request for addition
al instructions.
Retrial OF the case within fifteen
days after the discharge Of the
present jury. II II continues to fail
to agree is one OF the possibilities
In the case already so full OF sur
prlses.
The jury took the case at $3.50
Saturday night. The forty eight
hours held too short already in a
case with less evidence would not
release the jury at $3.50 tonight.
That there will be at least another
"a hours added before the jury Is
discharged seems a foregone conclu-
sion. Many pick Wednesday as the
probable time and number Of ex-
pressions were heard in the corri-
doris Of the court mouse that Judge
Swayne should not dismiss them af-
ter so long and costly a trial until
that time.
That the jury is hopelessly tied
up is conceded. Their communica-
ton to Judge swayne. signed by
all shows this. also stating that each
man is of the same opinion he held
when the first ballot was taken.

RIVERS AND HARBORS
State Gets in Appropriations Bill
More Than Engineers Re
commended.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The
Texas. items in the rivers and har-
bors bill which came out today
brought great rejoicing to the Tex
as members OF the House, not only
by reason of the fact that Texas
gets more in the bill than was or
iginally recommended by the board
OF engineers, but because Of big new
surveys ordered.
New Surveys Provided.
Representative Burgess made
good on his promise OF survey
for a 35 foot channel for Galveston
and Representative Garner gets his
survey for a 25 foot channel for
Aransas Pass, which gets $433,S00
instead of s15O,OOO, recommended
by the chief engineers The Trinity
river, already handsomely provided
for by the engineers recommends
tion OF $S4O, 900, get and appropri-
alton of $4S5,0OO instead, the in
crease being for additional locks
and dams. Likewise the Brazos riv-
er gets 100000 for improvement
instead of 100000 recommended
by the engineers, this increase being
for additional locks and dams. The
Texas City channel gets 100000
instead OF $4,000 which will en-
able the widening and deepening
OF the channel.
Texas Gets 81 ,5Ss, 800.
The other items are as recon-
mended by the chief OF engineers.
All told. Texas gets $1.5ss,SO0 out
of $25, ,965.O1O appropriation. This
is the second time Representative
Burgess got one-flfteenth of the en-
tire appropriation.
Representative Burgess tonight
gave the News the above state
ment in regard to the items which
Texas gets in this bill.

completed and will be presented to

People Hear Two Fine Lectures
and a Local Union is Estab-
lished.

Mrs. Henderson and Mrs Green
have been in Snyder this week in the
interest OF the w. c. T. U. work
and they have been well received.
Snyder people are noted for their
temperance and prohibition procIiv-
tiles and the ladies found the field
here already in a high state of NOR
al cultivation.
The very first thing they found
here were congregations OF church
women engaged in their missionary
meetings and it was no trouble to in
terest them in the temperance
work.
The ladies' entertained large
crowds at the court house on Mon
day and Tuesday nights with inter
esting chalk lectures. The people
we're very much concerned about
the worthy cause of temperance and
kindred departments OF he w. G..

It is learned that an organization
OF the Womans Christian Temper
ance Union was effected Tuesday af
ternoon with 26 members.

This Is worthy cause and we
have lots OF consecrated Christian
women in Snyder who will sustain

More About Insurance Rates

hofN hbbWA insurance AFtNNV
Mayor Mac Taylor said to the Sig
nal this week that the statement OF
insurance conditions in Snyder as
published in the Semi-Weekly on
Tuesday is in measure misleading.
He says the point being denied by
the insurance board is the 10 cents
reduction from the kay rate. There
will be some reduction when the rat
ing is made because OF our ire appar
atus, but the 10 cents OF that was
expected for the water supply may
be denied because OF the alleged de-
hciency in pumping capacity.
Mr. Taylor goes further and says
that even with the reduction we
will get may not put IL any lower
in reality. He cites the fact that Gov
ernor Campbell brought about a 25
per cent reduction in insurance rates
and that Snyder is still under the
Campbell schedule. After Colquitt be
came Governor the insurance corpor
ations induced him to bring about a
raise OF 25 per cent on the Camp
bell schedule, effective in every town
after notice is given. II is understood
that Snyder has not received such
notice and the Campbell rate still
holds good here.
