Where are the Spanish archives Of
Bexar county?
The invaluable documents, contain
ing the only authentic history of San

ing the days when civilization cen
tered in the missions and the state

county clerks files since September

They are believed to be in the pos

WRITES TO SPLAwN
h q letter addressed to President
Walter N. ". Splawn of the Uni
veniu of Texas, Judge McCloskey
said:
~By order Of the commissioners
court Of September 80, 1899, certain
archives were placed in the custody
of the University of Texas with the
agreement, among other things, that
they be translated and copies fur
nished Bexar county.
Il am informed no such transla-
lions were ever furnished the county.
The time has come when We are in
dire need of such translations.
won't you please look into the
matter and see what has become of
the archives? Whether they are be-
ing kept in q fireproof vault, and
whether they ever have been class
ified, arranged or translated ae pro-
vided in the agreement?
FINDS ORDER
III q translation has been made,
have them forwarded to County Clerk
Jack Burke as a part of the records
Of this office, with due certification
that the translation is correct.
IF such translation has not been
made, then please cause one to be
made 20 that the agreement mentioned
may be fulfilled
Both Justice Fisk and Mr.. Smith
remember when the records were sent
to Austin. The movement to locate
them resulted when Judge Fisk search
cd the files of the county clerks office
during the last week for the translated
copies from which he desired to obtain
some historical data. he failed to
find the originals or copies, but found
the order in the commissioners records
BY which they were sent to Austin.
WRITTEN IN SPANISH.
The originals nor translated copies
have never been returned to this Of
flee to the best of my knowledge, Mr.
smith, who has served as county clerk
or n deputy for many years, declared.
There were twenty large boxes full
of them when they were shipped TO
the university. The archives were
written in Spanish, and contained the
accurate history of San Antonio from
the time Europeans first set foot in
this land. Without them as references
no history of the founding Of San An

One great education you must

our Negro neighbors, has made him.

same Negroes and me, there is only
friendship and fraternity.
That is what I think you must try
to teach if you succeed in impressing
your students, that there is no need
Of love or hate, but just plain case
of justice toward your fellow worker,

may belong to.

whistle you are locked one hour, not
only that but they are forcing the men
to produce double what they need to
do.
How They Force the Speed Up.
One of the methods which they
used to get the men who are working
three turns, '(that is the eight hour
mem to produce more is this: They
get few men on one of the three
turns and pay them more so that they
will go out and break the record
previously set. For example: In tho
mine tie section it was a good days
work TO turn out $500 ties in one
turn, but they put dirty scab on
with a spell screw and they 60 and
make 1000.
The extreme heat prevailing in the
mills makes it necessary that the men
work in turns with regular short in
tervals for rest to avoid complete ex-
haustion. While a crew Is at rest the
spell crew takes their place.
The regular crew came back on the
turn and they were forced to keep the
same record set by this special crew,
without anybody to give them spell.
The Same Old Bunk.
OF course, the bosses had to come
around and tell the men that the
works are mot paying" and unless
they could quicken the pace they
would have TO shut down; a few OF
the slowest ones got fired and finally
they got the men TO go like hell and
maintain the record. The workers OF
this plant have not yet realized that
these are all lies by the boss 70 get
them scared 30 that they will do
double work.

The Rowan Split In
the !. w. w. Gets Out
a Paper in Portland

PORTLAND. Ore.-The split-off Of
the l. w. W., which claims to be the
real l. w. W., of course, has started
a paper which aspires to general cir
culation. 1t is called the Industrial
Unionist.
The editor is James Lance and
True Tuttle is business manager. 1t
says that the Emergencies" which
is the laconic term applied to those Of
the /. w. w. who have followed the
Rowan split, are going to have a
general convention" on July Is at
ogden, Utah.
The third page carries burlesque
prayer, which might spring laugh by
itself altho it is old as the hills, but
an introduction to it is a key to what
may be expected from the Rowan
leadership. 1t says:
"The following contribution is
printed, not thru any desire to belittle
prayer or the belief in the efficacy of
religion, but because of the cleaning
vein of satire which runs thru every
line Of it,"
Just a good joke among thoroly
religious fellows, you understand
much a a jolly priest might tell new
version of the episode of Lot and his
daughters. without forswearing the
cloth.
The amusing end Of the publication
is an article by Rowan, putting forth
the strange claim that the "Emerg
ency Program" is not at all aimed to
split the /. w. w. because it doesn't
ask only some unions to join in, but
asks them ALL A split, to Rowan, is
not a split if it takes away large
chunk, but only when it takes a little
one.
The regular l. w. w. are recon.
mending to Rowan that he profit by
'the efficacy of religion" and use pray
err that his Emergency Program" be
answered, altho his prayer for an in
junction" to the capitalist courts last
summer did not turn out very success
fully.

Night Work in u. S.
Bakeries Continues
Despite Inventions

NEW YORK. April 21-Night work
this country within a few years, the
Workers Health Bureau reports, as
the result of the invention of a Swiss
union baker, Jean Matti, of q new
process which keeps bread fresh two
years. Bakers now work under health
destroying conditions such as dusta,
bad air and gases, which night work
intensifies. Bakers unions in 19 coun-
tries have succeeded in getting laws
passed prohibiting night work in bal1-
cries but there are no such laws in
the United States.
Maths invention, the result of years
of experimentation, is based on the
fact that he has succeeded in paralyz-
ing the destructive germs which make
bread ferment. Recently his invention
was tested and analysed at the Can
tonal laboratory in Lausanne and
found satisfactory. Sealed tins in
which bread had been placed were
opened after three. months and the
bread found to be in perfect condition.
The multi-millionaire Pifarett, Car
diff, England, has bought the inven-
ton for use on steamship lires.
Matti has fought for years for the
abolition of night work in bakeries
However, as long as night work is
cheaper for the employers, science
will not be used to raise the living
standard Of the workers.

COOLIDGE SPEEDS UP
POSTOFFICE WORKERS
MULTIPLYING PAY BOOST

especial to The Daily Workerl
WASHINGTON, o. c., April 21.--
speedine-up of postoffice workers
has been intensified since the new
postal wage scale took effect, al
though the strain on the employees
was already excessive, says Sec'y.-
Treas. Flaherty of the Federation Of
Postoffiee Clerks. Weighing Of the
output Of distributors is established
in Chicago, Boston and Rochester
offices, and is now starting in New
York City.
On the other hand Postmaster
General New has issued a press
circular referring to the increased
postal charges as being due to con-
gress' decision to grant higher pay
to postoffice employees. The fact is
that the employees opposed the en-
aetment Of higher charges, contend
ing that with the higher wages they
would within three years produce
sufficient new income at the old
rates. Their bill, passed by con-
gress in June and vetoed, failed to
overcome the veto last winter.

they have a wonderful program of

to discuss and arrange dances

Starting Wednesday of last

Everybody was picking their fav-

The returns Of the World Series
