The petitioned charges that the law is
unconstitutional, and prays for tenn
porary injunction restraining its en-
forcement until final adjudication. The
petition charges that the law is void be-
cause 1t violates the constitution Of the
United States, and particularly the first
and fifth amendments and abridges the
freedom of the press. The law is char
acterized as of no benefit to the postof-
flee or any department of the govern
ment, and charges that the law, If en-
forced, will result in the confiscation of
the complainant's property without due
process.

LOOK FOR HArTERs' LABEL.

With the advent of the new fall fash
ions in mems hats a trick is being
turned on the Hatters' union label. The
retailers are victims of a fraud on the
part of INSCRIPTIONS jobbers who sell
what are presumably strictly union
made hats. In a case of fifty dozen there
may be fifty hats, one on top OF each
dozen, which bear the union label, while
the rest do not. Customers call for hats
which bear the union label and then the
fraud is discovered. In the hats put upon
the market this fall there is one style
which has a fancy lining, the latter be-
ing fastened to the felt When the Gus
toner calls for hat bearing the label
and goes to turn down the sweat band
in search of the label he finds that 1t
cannot be turned down, and in many
cases believes the label to be under the
lining Union men should take cogniz-
ance of this fact and be careful and see
to it that when purchasing hat that
the hatters' label is in its accustomed
Dlace

The Smoker.

Last nfSnI the ueleSateS were en-
tertained at the hospital building,
with a smoker by the Brownsville
Chamber Of Commerce. There were
cigars, sandwiches, and soda pop and
beer. Speeches we're made by sever
al citizens OF Brownsville, and all
joined in to make the visitors feel
that they were welcome and that the
people of this city wanted them to
have a good time.
There were a number of impromptu
talks by various persons present.
They were well received.
One Of the guests brought up the
subject of transportation rates and
said it was not a question of what
could be raised in the Valley but OF
what could be marketed, that the
freight rates were exorbitant and
should be reduced.
The meeting however, did not APP
pear to be in accord with his views.
Four speakers followed in succession
each defending the position Of the
transportation companies, pointing
out that the rates were much lower
than those of California or in the
great northwest. and pointing out
that the value of our produce makes
existing rates reasonable. The only
complaint that the shippers appeared
to have they said, was the one OF
service, and the speakers were agreed
that this is being rapidly improved.
and that the railway company is
doing the best it could to <relieve this
situation.
The company had made promises
which they were ready to keep. and
were cooperating with the sugges-
lions of shippers in every possible
way, and il was only a question of
time when the shippers would cease
to have any ground for complaint.
Judge Bartlett made a few remarks
which expressed his high esteem for.
the Valley farmer. and told of his
pleasure in having the privilege of
angling with the Gardeners.
President Scott then thanked all
present for their attendance and ex-
pressed the hope hat the South Tex
as Gardeners might continue to
thrive, The meeting then dispersed.
Meeting Closes Today.
The South Texas Gardeners will
resume their session at nine o'clock
this morning. The program is expect
ed to be completed by % This
afternoon the Rio Grande Horticul-
tural Society will hold its meeting,
and the evening meeting will be
devoted to the Rio Grande Cane
Growers Association. Both programs
