Lancashire, he quarreled with his
father. The latter was a colliery I'M
der-manager. He dreamed that his boy
should be a manager.
But young John said he wanted to
be a miner. He started as a half
timer at 10, became a full-time worker
in the coal pits at II. and at IL was
thorough going trades unionist. He
advanced in trades union raDl:s until
he was made a miners agent and also
member of the executive committee
of the big miners federation. He is
an NJ. p. for the big mining town Of
Wigan.
John Dawson. who is vice cham
berlain of the household, started out
as a bootmaker. but soon went into
boiler making and iron founding. For
81 years he was sand artist in a
foundry.
He is one of the few men in the
government who has been on Ameri-
can soil. In 1919 he went to Canada
as n fraternal delegate to the Cana
dian Trades Union Congress. In 1921
he went to the United States on an
unofficial pilgrimage to inquire into
the workings of our anti-booze laws.
Asked whether England would go
dry in ten years, he replied, -"Not in
10 years"
So it's a cinch that the new vice
chamberlain will not put the kibosh
on George V having his wee bit

REPORT ON FACTORIES
About One Hundred san Antonio Con-
Germs Have Not Compiled Statistics.

The United States Census Bureau
at Washington, reports having re-
ceived industrial census statistics from
approximately one hundred San Anto-
Mo industries during last week. This
shows that between three hundred
and four hundred manufacturers hav-
ing plants in this city have reported.
while reports from one hundred San
Antonio factories have yet TO be rem
dered. Secretary c. G. Leel Of the San
Antonio Manufacturers Association,
who has been appointed special agent
for the purpose of handling this in
dustrial census for BeXar county, says
if these remaining reports are not re-
ceived in Washington within the next
week or ten days, some of the delin-
qucnt manufacturers may be put to
considerable additional annoyance and
expense. because the taking of this
census has been authorized by an act
of Congress, making it compulsory
i that the owner or manager of every
industry in the United States. which
operated their plant during any part
of the year 1928, should render their
figures. Even the smallest plants must
report. Any manufacturer who needs
assistance in the filling out of his re-
port can obtain same by applying ut
the office Of the local agent, room ITO
Gunter hotel.

COURT FINALLY

Permanent Injunction En-
tered in Mooted Street
Sign Case.
PASSED BY BLACK
Objection Based on Claim
City's Scenic Beauty
Marred.

Judgment granting a permanent in
junction restraining the erection Of
street markers bearing advertising
matter was entered by Judge w. S
Anderson in the Thirty-seventh Dis
trict Court Saturday. At the same time
Judge Anderson held a contract be-
tween the city of San Antonio and Fl
W. Base ct al, signed during the
Black administration. to be null end
void. The defendants gave notice OF
appeal.
Judge Anderson's action Saturday
followed u long drawn out fight of the
San Antonio Chamber of Commerce TO
prevent the erection of street markers
bearing advertising matter. The mat
ter was first agitated in the early
stages of the Black administration
Strenuous objection was raised by
Commissioners Ray Lambert and Phil
Wright, minority members of the city
commission. Despite their objection,
however, the commission authorized
Mayor Black to enter into Il contract
for the erection of the markers.
Scenic Beauty Marred.,
ThereupOn the San Antonio Cham
Der of Commerce of which Gerald f.
Melliff was then head. obtained a tenn
porary injunction restraining the
erection of the markers.
The fight was made on the ground
that street markers bearing advertis-
inging matter would not be in keeping
with the dignity of a city the size OF
San Antonio. Such markers it also
contended, would mar the scenic beau
ty of the city.
Following the granting of the tenn
porary injunction the case went 10
trial on its merits and the matter has
been in court for almost year. After
the fight was launched on the markers
those favoring their erection countercd
by sending out petitions seeking to off
set the fight made by the Chamber of
Commerce.
Agreed on Facts.
Saturday an agreed statement of
facts and transcript of the case was
filed with the district clerk and final
judgment entered on the minutes OF
the Thirty District Court.
The case will now go to the Fourth
Court of Civil Appeals. The Cham
Der of Commerce was represented in
court by Birkhead & Lang.

CHANCE FOR ENGINEERS
Second Division Men Make Good al
Engineers School.

Opportunities TO attend the En-
gineer's School at Fort Humphreys,
Va, where courses in surveying, draft
ing, TYPOGRAPHY, mechanical engineer
ing and photography are given, are
offered to enlisted men in the corps of
engineers. Men who complete these
courses are given rating as specialists.
One indication of the value of the
six months training and schooling at
Fort Humphreys is shown by the fact
that every man who has attended the
school from the Second Engineers at
Fort Sam Houston is now in a posi-
ton as non-commissioned officer,
and one of those who graduated one
year ago is now in line for q promo
ton to the grade of staff sergeant.
Men who are sent from the Second
Engineers to the school are chosen
on competitive basis, thus assuring
that the best and most interested men
attend. Victor Simas. first-class pri-
vate of Portuguese nativity, was one of
the men sent to the school by the Sec
Ond Engineers this year. Word has
been received that he is leading his
class in both surveying and drafting.
a letter of commentator on his good
work has been sent him by the COM
mading officer of the regimet.

COMING TO CAMP
Recruits Sign Up for Citizens Mill
tary Training.

Applications for Citizens Military
Training in the 1924 summer camps
of the Eighth Corps Area are being
ity, according to reports from head
quarters in Fort Sam Houston, and
22S men have been definitely accepted
for training. Applications filled out
and on file pending investigation num-
Der 426, while practically every county
chairman of the last years campaign
has accepted disappointment.
"The campaign for desirable mem
bership is two months ahead, this
year, of any previous drive. Major
Ralph III. Durkee, civilian aide to the
secretary of war of Texas. stated III
an interview Saturday morning. 1--WE
are very much encouraged over the
wholesale response that is coming
from boys in every section OF the
state, and we feel safe in predicting
that this will be the most successful
drive and the most successful summer
camp ever directed by the Eighth
Corps Area
County chairmen working as organ
izers in their respective territory have
reported to Mr.. Durkee that graduates
of c. NJ. Z. G. training are assisting
in the campaign for membership this
year. 1t seems that men who have
taken the training are enthusiastic
about the camps, and they are helping
as a volunteer corps of organizers to
pick the best and worthiest men from
their districts for the 1924 camps.
The recruiting report Of the Eighth
Corps Area, issued Saturday, COM
pares very favorably with reports sent
out by the Recruiting service last year
at this time. Mr.. Durkee stated. Fig
