Rioting Feared
 In Boston Strike
,(special from united Press. ]


 Boston, Jan. S-Rioting at the docks here. today. is imminent following the arrival of 500 imported strikebreakers, under police escort. The longshore- men who went out 5000 strong. last week, deeply resented the appearance of bluecoats along the wharves, today. They declared they have shown no violence and will not. if the police are removed. The steamship com panies, say the longshoremen, Dur posely asked for extra police on the docks in order to prejudice the public against the strikers
 Labor leaders believe that unless the steamship companies meet the demands for living wage and better, working conditions. 1.6O0 Boston & Maine freight handlers and 1000 freight clerks and handlers from the New Haven road will strike before tomorrow morning. If these men go out it will mean the most serious commercial tie-up in Boston's history. Mayor Fitzgerald called another conference for today between the strikers and the steamship agents.

NEW AUTOMOBILE CARS.
Rock Island Building New Cars to
Take Care of Goods Shipped
to the West.

Representative of the Trinity
and Brazos Valley yesterday receiy-
ed notice to the effect that the Rock
Island was having built over 900
new automobile and furniture cars
These cars are of the latest models
in freight car construction and are
built especially for the purpose OF
caring for large consignments of au-
tomobiles and furniture coming
west 1t is believed these cars viii
be a great argument that will cause
merchants to have their goods sent
over the Rock Island in these new
cars. Shippers will have the priyil-
eye of asking that their consign-
ments of furniture or automobiles
be sent in these cars and their re-
quest will be granted.-Houston

EXAMPLE TO TEXAS

Democrats of Arizona, led by theii
state central committee, have made
plans for holding presidential
preference primary.
The democrats of the youngest
state in the absence of a statute pro
lyiding for such primary, will hold
lit in accordance with rules adopted
for that purpose by the democratic
national committee at it's recent
meeting held in Washington. Next
time they will be able to act under
Ian Arizona statute in holding a
presidential primary.
Here in Texas the democratic
Estate central committee, controlled
by political bosses who wish to
speak for Texas in place of the peo-
pie of Texas, is, through its chair
man. opposing presidential prefer

a statute, lack of funds, and other
excuses, none of which has stopped

that state a chance to speak for the

They want it. They will, we are told,
volunteer to do their full share of
the work, and defray their full
share of the cost, of holding May

state committee, and his reaction
