Legislature Enters
Third Session With
Many Bills Vetoed

expenditure Of $16,4 o6, 545, which
brought the grand total for MAJOR
appropriations to 50,l74,O71.
Committees that went to the ex-
ecut1ve office to notify the COVER
nor that the legislature had COM
pleted its work and was ready to
adjourn sine die, brought back mes
Sages giving news Of the governors
decision to disapprove the bills and
reconvene the legislature.
The message was received with
mixed feelings. The house sent a
second committee to interview Lng
governor with the request he defer
to call until Monday, but he had
made up his mind and refused.
Senator Tom Pollard Of Tyler,
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, speaking to personal privfY-
eye, flayed the governor for desiring
the third extra session so he could
advocate anew pet legislation" that
had been defeated before.
There was only a handful Of
house members to hear the COVER
nor's message, and indications were
there would not be a quorum in
either branch this week.
Governor Moody said he did not
believe a necessity existed for ap-
preparation of the maximum OF
state income under the highest tax
rate allowed under the constitution
Want Economy
Il do not believe the people of
Texas want the legislature to be
niggardly or stingy in support of
its institutions or departments, but
I know they want economy a
ticed by the legislature, the instf-
buttons and the department" he
said. There is no security agains,
extravaganza or waste except the
fidelity of the public officers and
employees. When the amount of
money expended in past years in
support of the government is con-
sidered, I believe that you can ade-
qufetely provide for all activities of
the government and bring the ap-
preparations under the present bills
by a large sum of money"
The legislature last night com
pleted its fourth month of legiSlat-
ing since it was convened in regu-
lar session on January 8. In add.
ton to this third extraordinary SEES
sion it faces still another one next
winter when the commission to
study concentration and reorganiza-
ton of the prison system is to make
its report to the legislature.

RAYMONDVILLE, July 3.-JameS
Burnett, 12-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lloyd Burnett, owners of a
dairy near here, saved the life Of
his 13-year-old companion and be-
came a hero here Tuesday.
James and Alfred Cara we're
working on the dairy farm, cleaning
out a cess pool. Alfred was to do
the work in the tank while James
hauled up the dirt. In order to
enter the pool, Alfred tied two loops
in the rope and stepped into them
to be lowered to his work.
Upon reaching the bottom, Alfred
was overcome and James saw him
fall. He began to call frantically
for help and some men working
nearby responded.
Then began the tedious and dan
gerous task of pulling the unconsci-
Gus boy to the top with a loose loop
around one foot. AS he neared the
top, the loop gave way, but James
grabbed a leg and held on until
others aided him in lifting the
stricken boy out.
Employing all the instructions he
had learned as a member Of troop
one of the Raymondville Boy Scouts
James soon had induced respiration,
and today Alfred seemed none the
worse for his experience.
An examination of the pool later
revealed it was saturated with noxi-
GUS gases.

Latin American Workers
Best Organized IN Mexico

This is mostly the urban industrial

on the sugar plantations are con-
sidered as "unorganizable," because
they are mostly seasonal workers

natives and do not speak their

the strongest organization is a men,

The analysis admits a class of
"unorganizable" workers, such as
child labor, home work, most of
women workers (due to the Spanish
traditions in Latin America) the inn
ported seasonal workers from other
countries, etc. Thus the table gives
only the "organizable" and not the
total proletariat of these countries.
According to these figures, of the
"organizable" workers. only 6.71 per
cent are organized. The workers in
Mexico, Chile, Cuba, Argentina and
Colombia are the best organized in
Latin America.

left wing elements in the Latin
American labor movement.
According to reported calculation,
which can be considered only an
approximation, the largest percent
age of organized workers is in Mex
leo, so per cent of the industrial
proletariat. This figure is probably
based on the figures given by the
GROIN which are undoubtedly very
much exaggerated and unreliable
They include 100000 agricultural
laborers and peasants who received
land parcels by the distribution of
"ejidos" and supported for some
time, before the split between the
Agraristas and the GROIN, the poll
cies of the latter. For this reason
the GROIN included these peasants
in the number of it's members.
The next largest figure given is
for Chile with 100000 organized or
20 per cent of the industrial prole-
tariat, including all the workers of
the nitrate fields, not only the urban
proletariat. This figure represents
the actual number of dues paying

though no positive figures could be

Cuba is the next best organized
country with 100000 organized or
23.3 per cent of the industrial pro-
letariat. The strongest organiza-
ton there is the confederation Ma
cional Obrera de Cuba" under Com
