TEXAS IS PROUD
Of UNCLE JOHN
First Disappointment EaSed
Almost Entirely by Second

| AUSTIN. Tex, July John Gar

tonight.
Disappointment of the Texas stay
at-home Democrats at failure of the
Democratic Convention to nominate
Speaker Garner for the presidency was
almost wholly assuaged by his selection
to fill second place on the ticket headed
by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
His townspeople at Uvalde forgot
troubles brought to their doorstep by a
torrential rain which sent flood waters
from nearby streams into streets and
stuck close to the radios while 'Chapar-
raj Jack" Garner was being nominated.
Imperturbable as Father.
Tully Garner, the Speakers son,
went across the street from the bank
of which he is president and listened
to convention proceedings over a radio
in the garage owned by his fathers
old-time fishing partner, Ross Brun1-
field
Neither Brumfield nor the younger
Garner would say much. friend
approached Banker Garner and said:
We'll, reckon you're mighty proud
Of your pa, aren't you?"
And Banker Garner, no less lacon1c
and imperturbab,e than his famous
father, said, simply:
"Yes."
No formal demonstration was held,
partly because of the floods and partly
because Uncle Johns" friends prefer
red to wait until he comes back from
Washington at the end Of the congress
sional session to plant his garden.
Mother Hears News.
In the village of Detroit, in Red River
County, near the Oklahoma State line,
a feeble 80-year-old mother, Mrs Sarah
Jane Garner, heard of the nomination
of her son, who left the family hearth
stone 40 years ago to seek more
healthful climate in Southwest Texas.
John was like most other boys; he
liked to play base ball, was quite a
tease, and I guess he liked to fight,
too" the mother said.
Politicians expressed the belief that
those who left the party in 1928 over
prohibition would stay with the Garner
bolstered ticket in spite of the party'S
pledge for repeal of the eighteentS
amendment and immediate modification
of the VolStead act.
The fifteenth district Representative,
whose 80 years service in Washington
placed him at the head of his party in
the House, obtained his first lawmaking
experience in the Texas Legislature.

People Protest
Out in the Middle West, re-
ports r. H. Wendt, there is a
small railroad line that we will
call the Yip-switch and Spo-
dunk. What with the depres-
sion and such. the line an
nounced its intention of chop
ping off it's service to Hicks
town, a town of some 1,500 in
habitantS.
When the good townSpeople
HickStown heard the sad news
there was excitement galore.
They protested to the mayor,
the Chamber of Commerce and
to each other.
whats going to become Of
our city?" they cried. "If that
railroad service is terminated,
we'll be wiped off the map.
The Yipswitch and Spodunk
can't do this to us. They must
be made to reconsider. We
must have our railroad service"
So vigorous did the squawK
become that a hearing on the
subject was negotiated with the
railroad. The line was very
square about it. They prom
ised that, should sufficient evil
dence be presented to warrant
the continuance of the services
and If enough customers would
agree to ride upon the trains.
the abandonment program
would be forgotten.
After several attempts to set
a date and spot for the hear
ing, it was finally agreed that
a committee from Hickstown
would meet the railroad Off
cials in a city that was about
two hours away on the same
line. They would all meet at
2 o'clock the following Monday.
The appointed hour arrived,
and the representatives of the
YipSwitch and Spodunk were
patiently awaiting the COM
mittee from Hickstown. Three
o'clock, and no sign of the
Hickstown complsinants. When
4 o'clock came and went, the
railroad men reached the con-
clusion that the Hickstown
committee had changed it's
mind about protesting the loss
of service and had remained
at home.
Just as they were making
preparations to depart, a tele-
gram was received from the,
Hickstown committee.

acter because it puts the workers face to face
not only with the bosses organizations, with the
strikebreaking reformist bureaucracy, but also
with the bourgeois government Only in this
manner will the marine workers be able to arm
themselves with class consciousness and in an
organized way come out against the imperialist
war and intervention and carry out their class
duty,
The union will be able to win the confidence
of the marine workers only when it will come out
as. capable organizer of militant resistance and
struggles against the wage cuts which are being
carried through by the ship owners. When the
marine workers will see with their own eyes
that the Union has not only a good program
that its agitation has revolutionary contents
but that the union is able to transform its
agtational fighting slogans into life, and that
the union is able to prepare, lead and win strug-
giles
Only then the marine workers will under
stand why they need the union, they viii have
sympathy for the union and they will be drawn
into the union and fight under its leadership
The fact is that the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, with very few minor exceptions, did not
carry on any important strikes and, more than
that, did not prepare any struggles for economic
demands on the American boats and in the docks
which were led by the reactionary unions (Cial-
veston 5000 longshoremen led by the lila;
New Orleans, 5000 longshoremen led by the LILA.
etc.. In some cases the union led strikes d.
rectly Stockton, 200 rvermen; Galveston fish
headers New Orleans, September 80, 500 river
men; Duluth April 80, 800 dockers).
1t is shown in all these strikes that the prepa-
ratons for these strikes we're very weak, that new
methods were not brought into the leading of the
strikes, the striking masses we're not directly &C
TWEED. But what must be especially emphasized
is that these strikes demonstrated the willing
ness and readiness of the masses to fight against
wage cuts In Philadelphia our preparations for
the strike and the demands we're made without
the knowledge of the marine workers. which ma
turaly brought negative results We lost 900 long
sh0remen members
If these strikes would have been prepared bet
ter and if in these strikes a series of mistakes
would not have been made these strikes could
have been won With the exception of the strike
Of the German marine workers, in which the In
dustrial Union now shows activity, in the recent
period the union has not led any more or less
serious economic struggles And this in the face
of the very good objective conditions.
