Legislature Completes
Appropriations Labors

man, the Alamo appropriation was
reintroduced by Senator w. A. Will
hanson of San Antonio in the form
Of a separte bill. Less than two
inutes after it had been offered on
the floor, the measure was finally
passed by a vote of % to 1.
Lieutenant Governor Barry Mil
Ter himself took the floor, urging
an appropriation for acquiring land
around the historical building.
Rejection of the departental re-
port also was urged by Senators
Thomas B. Love Of Dallas and w.
D. McFarlane Of Graham. Senator
Love opposed the compromise mea-
sure because it did not contain an
appropriation of 100000 to supple
ment the Confederate pension fund
and Senator McFarlane voiced op-
position because the bill, he de-
clared, contained wholesale salary
increases.
Representative A. 3. Tarwater of
Plainview protested acceptance of
the departmental bill because 19
division highway engineers had OBJ
tanned increases in salary from
$500 to $4,000 annually, and also
on account of inclusion of $500

NEW ORLEANS, July 16.-tR-
J. B. Lawson, representative Of the
street Garments union, said here to-
day that national union leaders
would request President Hoover to
intercede in the fifteen day street

phone that William Green, Of the
American Federation OF Labor, w. ID.
Mahon, president Of the Interna-
tional Garments union and others
had conferred today with the attor-
ney general and the secretary Of
labor and that later in the day they
would call at the White House for a
conference with the president.
Car service was partly resumed
today after the experiment Of yes
terday when cars were sent through
the streets for the first time since
the riots of the first week Of the
strike. The cars were operated by
non-union men and were guarded
by United States deputy marsahls
and police.
Although the cars attracted light
patronage and the "jitneys" did a
fIourishing business, company Of
ficials said the service would be en-
larged each day until normal move
ment of cars was reached. No dis
orders were reported.
