TEXANS URGE LAW
ALLOWING IMPORT
OF MEXICAN LABOR
Failure Would Mean Reduction Of SO
Per Cent in Cotton Acreage.

Washington, Jan. 27-Suspension
Of the head tax and literary test pro-
visions of the Immigration laws to
allow Texas cotton and truck grow
ers to import necessary labor from
Mexico, was urged before the senate
immigration committee Tuesday by
a delegation of Texas citizens. They
proposed an amendment to the pres
ent law that would empower the
secretary OF labor to suspend the
provisions whenever the necessity
arose.
Roy Miller of Corpus Christi. editor
and farm owDef, declared unless TIE
proposed acton were taken labor
shortage would result in reduction
Of more than 100000 bales in the
Texas cotton crop this year and a
permanent reduction of nearly 50
per cent in acreage under eultiYa-
ton.

committee that they did not believe

implore the Court to give further
time for the Argument on the De-
murrer, but the Court said in sub
stance: Il cannot see anything for
you to look up on get prepared in, as
this case is perfectly plain to me,
and the statute is also plain, so
much so that | cannot see why the
City is asking for time" He quoted
the statute on that question and said
that it was absolutely sound doctrine
and that he could not see why the
City would continue one minute that
Il was not liable unless it is for the
purpose of delay, and the Court read
Section 4 of the Statute, of the "Act
to Suppress Mob Violence"
In its opinion, the Supreme Court
upheld the Act and said it was good
law and sustained this law.
The Court further said: II have
very little patience for your con-
tention that the statute would make
II possible for a recovery where da-
images were done to personal pro
perty by mob and at the same time,
refuse to protect human life and
property A
The so called race riots in Chi
cage was the greatest disgrace to
any State. and the intent of the law
was to put stop to this kind OF
violence; the purpose was to make
the City and the taxpayers respon-
sible for the outrages perpetuated by
unreasonable and inhuman riots,
mobs and lynchings. Unless some
action.is taken by the higher-ups, not
the common element of people, to
stop these mobs, the Government is
in a critical state, and it will soon
be dangerous for persons to walk
along the streets. Such condition
must be abated and in order that the
law might be enforced it is neces-
sary to compel the City, when they
fail to do their duty in the protection
of life and property, to respond in
damages as penalty for its viola
tlon, thus bringing 1t home to every

NOTES FROM STOCK
YARDS LABOR COUNCIL
To Fight the Battles of All Workers,
Regardless of Color, Race or Creed.


The following is submitted as some
of the prominent principles of the
Stock Yards Labor Council.
First-That the economic status
of the Wage Farmers is far from
what it should be.
Second-That the Wage Farmers
themselves must take up the solu-
ton if they would be benefited sub
stantially.
Third-That the standards of life
of the colored man should be similar
and equal to that of the white man.
Fourth-That the two races when
brough in contact in the field of in
dustry shot d cooperate understand
ingly to attain the desired ends.
Fifth That less occasion for
trouble between the races would
exist if each had better under
standing of the struggles of the other
and such an understanding had
best come thru labor union such
as the Stock Yards Labor Council.
Sixth-That no great gain can be
obtained by any group of workers.
apart from, and Independent of the
other similar groups, hence the belief
that all workers regardless of race,
language or creed should become
factors in the movement.

Vicksburg, Miss, Feb. 3rd.-That
Corn Whiskey doesn't grow in cab
cabbage patch was shown by
Judge Henry Martin in the Police
Court Tuesday when Will Hoskins,
was brough before him to explain
why five gallons of the liquor had

plants. Hoskins admitted ownership
of the cabbage but expressed sur
prise that the Whiskey should have
been underneath.
He was given time to recover from
the surprise when Judge Martin said
he could pay $4,000 and cost or work

Don't Hire Them

Congressman Campbell of Kansas,
recently stated in the House of Rep
resentatives that "bolshevists, social
lists and anarchists received teachers
certificates and are teaching in every
state in the Union" He says college
professors of high and low degree are
socialists, anarchists, enemies of con-
gress. enemies of the constitution, en-
emies of this country, and that they
teach it daily in the schools and col
leges." Representative Campbell said
that the condition is admitted by the
teachers themselves and in a short
time they will be boasting of it,
Mr.. Campbell may have been too
severe in his statements but it is a
well known fact that in many of our
best colleges a systematic propaganda
is carried on which poisons the mind
of the youth of the country against
so-called big business" without at the
same timc showing our young people
the necessity of large business organi-
zations today and without drawing the
distinction between our present day
well conducted large business organi-
cations and the so-called trusts in re-
straint of trade which the theorists
harp about.
Let the boards Of trustees of our
education institutions be little more
careful who they hire and we will have
less trouble with radicalism in this
country.
