Other Turtles In the Tank.

The Eallas News cites the claim OF
Mr.. Bailey to the governorship OF
Texas to guarantee that union labor
shall not interfere with people who
want to work. but says that Mr..
Bailey failed to say in referring to
the Galveston strike that Gov. Hob
by promptly used the power OF the
state and, re-opened the port there.
II was not a question OF union or
nonunion labor with Gov. Hobby. 1t
was not politics or grand stand
play. The ports were closed and
nonunion men were inundated and
afraid to work at the docks. Com
merce was tied up, the public vel
fare was suffering and Gov. Hobby
maintained the dignity OF the law
and reopened the ports.

Allies Force Germany to Terms.
Germany started out probably I'M

the allies would soften up and they
would get by without having TO
ever comply with the terms OF the
peace treaty. They would ike TO
consider the treaty "a mere scrap OF
paper" but the allies are not so SOFT

They came back with a counter
proposition of fifteen months, but

Germany will play thewaiting and

to do it.
