William Bright, the husband, who is
a laborer at the Dyer Iron company,
had left his home to go to the store
to pay his grocery bill When his
little boy came running to the store
he dropped his money on the counter
and ran home to protect his wife. He
found her struggling in the embrace
OF Williams. Bright restrained him
self from killing the brute with the
heavy oak chair standing in the bed
room where the assault took place.
He threw him out of his home, and
went for the police.
The first officer he met, Wade Mat
thews turned him over to another Of
ficer, Dick Fleming, who did not make
any move to go with Bright to arrest
Williams but suggested he see the
chief Of police. He went to the chief
of police. Ray L. Sanford, who instead
of going with Bright to arrest Will

the same time learn the trade. After
riding on a street car for an hour,
located the building under construc-

CRY looking men, who were also look
ing for work.
/ came up to the foreman just as
he was telling few men that the pay
was forty cents an hour, and If we
stayed on the job long enough we
would receive an interest in the COM
pany in the form of bonus. What
he wanted was husky men who were
not afraid Of hard labor and who
would become part of the concern.
1t looked to some of us that the only
qualifications needed was a strong
back and weak mind.
This is an out and out scab job, all
the way from the laying of the bricks
to hanging the doors. I have seen
bad conditions on the Lands award
construction jobs, but this beats them
all. Here was a job where only non
union help was used, and material
was delivered to the contractor by
union teamsters, showing up the lack

anywhere near this construction job

matter is presented to his local union.
and demand action to be taken to
have this job organized, or have the

n. Cohen let drop that the prohibi-
on director did not wish to make
ny arrests, as he could not always
ascertain whom he was arresting.
Does it not seem strange that he
needs to know? Would he wait to be
sure If he entered a place patronized
by men in overalls?

Danny Cohen would appreciate the
men standing out for few things
that are benefit to themselves. For
instance, a wash basin in their toilet

their hands before returning to serve
guests. Also the walters demanding

The bottle flows freely on Poplar
street. The moonshine is made by
large bootlegging firms on the out
skirts of the city and is shipped to
their agencies in all sections of the
city. These firms make different
grades of moonshine. The worst grade
is sent to this section. 1t is nothing
but slow poison that is killing hun
dreds Of Negroes in the city Of Phila-
delphia. Even insurance companies
will not grant Negroes insurance,
their death rate is so high.
These miserable conditions are all
due to the fact that the Negro is the
most exploited and oppressed worker
on the labor market They must or
ganize to fight against all forms of
race discrimination, such as Jim Crow
ism, segregation and for a better liv-
ing wage.
The American Negro Labor Con-
gress stands for the unity of all color
ed and white workers and for com
bined action to abolish all these
abuses.

BOOM
600 Plants Prepare for
Banner Production
in 1926.
By c. c. LEEI
Secretary San Antonio Manufacturer
Association.


The factories of San Antonio have
experienced one of the best years in
history, almost every factory having
exceeded its record production, and
though this does not necessarily mean
they have made more profits on their
years operations, it does mean that
many additional employees had been
added TO the payrolls of this city's
600 factories. and in very few in
stances have the forces been cut. An
awakening Of the home industry spirit
throughout the Southwest has had
much TO do with this. Fortunately
the majority of the factories of South
west Texas have enlarged their opera
tions TO insure national distribution.
and are no longer solely dependent on
crop conditions in any one territory.
90 NEW FACTORIES.
Sixty new factories have been To-
Gated in this city during 1925. Though
the majority of these are of modest
beginning, they are mostly vigorous
concerns which manufacture prod
ucts of merit, and therefore give excel
lent promise of rapid, healthy growth.
Several of these new concerns have
started operations in very substan-
tial manner, the. largest probably being
the Foulds Milling Company, a ma
tional concern which has absorbed the
Lion Brand Products Company. the
Mexican Infants and Children's Wear
Company, New York concern, which
operates six factories in several coun-
tries, and which ultimately expects TO
employ 1000 people in San Antonio.
and the Universal Publishing Syn
dictate of Philadelphia. a nationally
known book-binding company, which
has absorbed the Picard Book-bindius
ing Company and is now ready TO han
die big business.
BOOST FACTORIES.
A number of San Antonio's older
industries have been recognized or
are now occupying new buildings.
among these being the San Antonio
Body Company and the San Antonio
Boot Company. two fast-growing man
ufacturing establishments doing very
large wholesale trade. and the Pras
sell Sash & Door Company. whose
big new planning mill is now operat-
ing.
During 1925 almost every factory N
this territory has increased its man
ufacturing facilities for turning out
a large additional volume of prod
cuts. Many of these plants are pre-
pairing for substantial boom which
many unfailing indications point to as
due 10 occur here soon.
Among the major Developments at
fecting industry. which made theta
selves felt in the San Antonio terri
tory. during the past twelve months
is the advent of proof, through thr
bringing in of enormous additional
gas wells. that San Antonio is as
sured almost unlimited natural gas
for long period of years TO come.

said the money was used to sup

Wheeler said he had issued an ap-
peal for $4,000 for the primary
campaigns, but that so far he had
spent only $3.50. He said $S,670.4S
had been received for the fund.
Wheeler said money raised for his

used for political purposes.
Reed revealed that the Anti-Saloon
League had paid Richard Pearson
Hobson, known as "the father of the
eighteenth amendment" $171.249.6S
since 1924.
Hobson was a member of Congress
in 1914. when he got $400 and in
1915 when he received $10,655. He
received the following amounts;
1916, $12,45O; 1917, $17,275; 1918. $751;
