HEAR TAX INJUNCTION
Suit Seeks to Restrain Collection Of
Bond Levy.

Hearing of an injunction suit
brought by'D ID. Harrigan to restrain
the city of San Antonio from collecting
an eighteen-cent tax levy 10 apply on
the interest and sinking fund for. the
81, 350,00 bond issue voted last De-
cember. was under way in the Seven
ty-third District Court Thursday noon.
The case was expected to consume the
entire day.
Judge Terrell had previously issued
a temporary restraining order, later
modifying it so as to allow the city to
collect the tax but requiring that the
money be turned into his court TO be
returned TO the taxpayer il the bond
election is held void.
Mr. Harrigan testified on the stand
Thursday that the amount involved
in his personal taxes by the levy OF
eighteen cents is S27.p. He said,
however, that he has other interests
which would be affected.
The petition attacking the collection
of the taxes alleges that If the collec-
ton absolutely was necessary, 1t
should have been FOR an amount only
from January 1 TO May 81 instead of
for the entire fiscal year. Validity OF
the ordinance levying the tax also is
attacked

LYNCH DAVIDSON IS
FORCED TO SHOW HIS
MECHANICAL ABILITY
Balky Fliuuer Doesn't Keep
Candidate From Filling
Engagements.

Temple, Tex. April ia candi-
date for governor of Texas. fliyver
spark plug and a fist full of cylinder
carbon, make the most unusual mix
tuIe a Texas voter ever gazed upon.
Should there be any disbelief to this
statement, ask the voters of Eddy, III
McLennan county.
Way back when he was getting his
start in life Lynch Davidson, now a
gubernatorial candidate, was q me-
ehanic. He still claims to be. A
certain fiivver which is chugging this
candidate all over Texas may have
some doubts as to the measure of
Lyath's mechanical genius, hut never
theless, a tubercular affliction which
Lynch's flivver developed yesterday
between Bruceville and Eddy on his
camr align through Central Texas, has
been entirely cured and whatever spot
had developed Gu the wagons lungs
is now entirely dissipated.
But the folks in Eddy, farmers
from the forks of the creek TO who
had assembled to hear the candidate
speak Wednesday morning, are pretty
much agreed that the fliyver curing
got the best of Lynch. Because when
the battle was over Lynch was a sight
to behold. Whatever the measure OF
carbon contaminated the spark plug
and valve of that flivver, that same
measure decorated Lynch.
Lynch Davidson prophesied when
he started on his flivver campaign
that he would be his own garage and
repairman. Today was his first
proof to that proph ,sy. just little
thing like that, however, did not de.
ter the candidate from addressing
audiences at Bolton and Temple yes
terday on his southwark drive through
Central Texas which will lead him
to Brownsville. His day of speaking
was featured with an outline of his
views on the Ku Klux Khan.
Mr.. Davidson reiterated his posi-
ton that the secret order had no bust
ness in Texas politics, seeking by its
organized minority to poke its head
into control of our government"
II am just as firmly opposed TO
the khan for that reason now," he
declared. las / was back in 1921,
when, alone among all the states Of
ficials. / dared raise my voice against
the order when it was in its militant

tanned that at one time he had known
Oliver in Oklahoma and that there hat
been some trouble between them. The
man accused offered an alibi sufficient
to convince the officials that he old
not commit the crime.
Oliver in his letter to the police,
it is declared, stated that the San
Benitan charged with the murder was
then in Los Angeles, and later he
had the Los Angeles police arrest a
man whom he claimed was the one
guilty of the murder, but the latter
easily proved that it was merely a
case of mistaken identity.
Comes to Texas.
Sheriff Robertson then wrote to
Oliver and suggested that he come to
Cameron county and assist in clearing
up the mystery. He accepted the prop
osition, and shortly after he arrived
he was confronted with the man he
accused.
The records of the case show that
Wells came to the valley from Arkan-
sas City, Kan, and was in charge Of
farm on the Browne tract, east of
San Benito, the farm being owned by
parties for whom he had worked in
the north. Early in Marcn he went
to a San Benito bank and drew out
$50 he had on deposit, and that was
the last seen of him.
His employers made inquiries. and
after learning he had drawn money
from the bank, were suspicious of foul
play, but not until June s, when his
body was found, was the fact cstab-
lished that he had been murdered.

The Cameron county grand jury re-
burned an indictment against Lee

body Of Wells, young man who came
From Kansas, was found by Mexican
'bection men on June s, 1917. and
IIwas in such condition that several
Plays elapsed before identity was es-
tablished.
\ Border officers had years ago given
Ihp all hopes of getting light on the
mystery. They had established rob-
.bery as the motive for tie crime,
sFoung Wells having drawn $50 from
ID San Benito bank n short time be-
lore he disappeared, but the officers
l:yere completely at Eea as to the iden-
.,ity Of the murderer, and few months
later the case was catalogued among
HE mysteries that could not be solved.

RIGHT TO STRIKE
 AS LAST RESORT { MUST BE UPHELD
By G. w. PERKINS President, Cigarmakers' International Union of America.

Mediation, conciliation, and voluntary arbitration are just as necessary for sue cess in our trade unions as organizations itself. No sane working man or woman not be prevented and the dispute set tied by peaceful means of mediation, conciliation, and voluntary arbitration
 The right to strike should be main tained at all times. The strike, how ever, Is two-edged sword and unless properly handled and considered in the calm light of reason can, and sometimes does, do more harm than good. Strikes should never be entered into until a committee has dispassionately discussed the question with the employer and em- ployers. Every logical reason should be advanced by the committee representing the union in mediation and where jus tice demands conciliation resorted to. If both mediation and conciliation fail then voluntary arbitration should be tried If all these fail and our demands are just a strike Is justihable. If the simple fair means of mediation and conciliation is resorted to in o9 cases out of hum dred the difficulty will be settled without a strike or the loss of moments time
 Where employers refuse mediation and conciliation or voluntary arbitration they can be held up to the scorn of pub lie opinion Public opinion has its in fuence when thrown to the side of jus tice.
 The most successful unions of today have embodied in their constitution the principles of mediation conciliation, and voluntary arbitration, and they always resort to these means before launching a strike Nearly all of the so-called radical, self-styled progressive unions who scorned mediation, conciliation, and arbitration have finally resorted to these means of settling trade disputes and have been successful This is particu- larly so Tn the needle trades
 Those who play to the gallery by shouting the loudest for a strike before resorting to mediation, conciliation, and arbitration are unfair to themselves and
