titled 10 many improvements IN their
condition but none Of these improve
ments can be Of permanence unless
they are based upon respect for the
dignity and citizenship OF labor itself
The liquor politicians OF the coun-
Try and particularly OF the state OF
Texas have not given labor the re-
Epect 20 which % Is entitled. In their
efforts 20 force the liquor interests
and the breWsries into political part
nsrEhlp with labor, the brewers and
dealers IN booze have been given the
turkey and the Torkingmen the
