Automobile Horse School.
! A free school to teach horses not
, to be afraid of automobiles has been
started by the president of the Auto-

lessons consist of driving the ma-

of speed, making him follow it, etc.,
and having the horn blown at him.
Three lessons usually suffice.

A Cure for Hiccoughs.
It is claimed that a sure cure for

every nerve of Irish national life.”
Mr. Russell responded by saying that
Mr. Wyndham “long ago mortgaged

Last Sunday was the regular month-

member was present. The cards of
Messrs. Monroe and Dickson were ac-
cepted. An assessment of 50 cents per
member was levied in aid of the striking
miners. A committee was appointed to
visit the different locals of this city to
agitate the union labels of the Cigar
Makers and the Tobacco Workers.
Every union man should smoke only ci-
gars made by union men and the Cigar
Makers’ blue label attached to the boxes
is a guarantee that the cigars are made
under clean and healthy conditions. The
same also applies to chewing and smok-
ing tobaccos, and no organization is more
worthy of the support of the Union men
than the Tobacco Workers. They have
the American and Continental Tobacco
Company (trust) to fight, which firm
only employs children and pays starva-
tion wages. Look for the committee of
the cigar makers. They are prepared to
answer any and all questions and de-
mand only union made cigars and to-
bacco.

There is a very nice young cigar maker
in town. The other evening he was
standing on Market Street talking to a
friend when a lady passed and bowed.
This n. y. m. returned the salutation,
and when he was asked who the lady was
he blushed and was silent. We did not
know that it had gotten to that stage
yet. Let us know when it comes off, and

Galveston’s total shipping business for

ports is now fourth. A city like that
can not be held back nor wiped out.—St.

otherwise furnish evidence to sustain
their claims, as Draughon’s will gladly
do. Institutions that enroll students un-
der such misrepresentations are obtain-

should be prosecuted for doing so.
Prof. Draughon has instructed his
manager in this city, Prof. J. B. Frank-
lin, to admit a few worthy city stu-
dents, and one student from each of the
other postoffices, who can not conven-
iently pay cash, and to allow them to

tels. His fortune is estimated at some
$50,000,000.
For several months past Bro. William
Turner has been very sick, but every
hope was entertained for his recovery,
until the first part of this week. Sun-
day he was much better, but began to
fail Monday, and Tuesday night at 7.15
he passed from this life. He was a long-
standing member of the Carpenters
Union, and has always been a faithful
supporter of the cause. In the storm he
suffered the loss of his wife, and for a
long time after his own life was de-
spaired of. He never has been the same
since, and finally passed to the better life
Tuesday night.
The sick committee of the local took
the funeral in hand, and last Wednesday
their departed brother was laid to
rest at Lake View Cemetery, with the
members of his organization and a large

The carpenters of the C. F. Hilden-

are glad to see the boys and Mr. C. F.
come together, as they are now on good
terms. The hatchet has been buried and

usual.

Wearing of Thumb Rings.
Thomas a Becket possessed a thumb
ring set with a valuable ruby, which
was about the size of a hen’s egg. This
ring was a gift from Louis VII. of
France. At the reformation Bluff King
Hal seized the archbishop’s ring from
his despoiled shrine and took it for his
own personal adornment, thus bring-
ing thumb rings back into fashion for
a while. They had long been aban-
doned by the upper classes and had
come to be considered as indicative of
tne burgess class.

Saturday night the big Auditorium
was crowded with the members of the
8. P. Dock Workers for the final instal-
lation of their new local. It was 8.30
when the marshals were instructed to
close the doors and admit no one until
after the initiatory ceremony was over.
Mr. J. H. Fricke took the chair and
called the meeting to order. He spoke a
few words of the intentions of the or-
ganization and what they proposed to
accomplish in the way of advancing the
interests of their members and the labor
movement in Galveston generally. He
said that this was perhaps the largest
local ever organized by the International
Longshoremen’s Association; that this
would continue to be one of the largest
in the whole association, and on this or-
ganization depended the final organiza-
tion of the whole wharf front of Gal-
veston. They must be careful in their
deliberations, be conservative in their ac-
tion and look to the interest of the city
as well as the advancement of the cause
of union labor.
The first order of business was the ob-
ligation of the whole throng of the mem-
bership, composing over 1200 members
of the local. The meeting was called to
order and every man in the house was
given the obligation binding himself as
a union labor man in the ranks of the
International Association of Longshore-
men. After the ceremony was over Mr.
Fricke unveiled the charter of affilia-
tion. This was mounted on an easel,
with the American flag covering the en-
tire frame. The frame is mounted with
gold and silver, with a tint of bronze
here and there, making it one of the
prettiest frames of any labor union char-
ter in this city. Mr. Fricke lifted the
flag and revealed to the members the
American institutions by monopolized
wealth, we therefore pledge ourselves to
. he following industrial reforms, and ten-
der them to the thoughtful consideration
of our fellow citizens, with the earnest
belief that by their final adoption we
shall have a rational basis for economic
statesmanship, and that through them
the welfare of the laboring classes will
be advanced without fostering paternal-
ism, invading the rights of property, or
restricting the freedom of individual en-
terprise.

by the labor of the people, and that all
government is for their mutual benefit.

stitute a day’s work, and that the
workman should receive for his services
such compensation as will enable him to
provide for himself and family.
3. We hold that all government derives
its power from the-working classes; that
the laborer creates the wealth of the na-
tion, and that he should be represented
m its councils.
4. In all local enterprises for public im-
provement, we strongly urge the employ-
ment of home labor, so far as it is pos-
sible to do so, thereby enabling the citi-
zen to acquire his own home, where he
can enjoy the comforts of life, which
would be a credit to his industry.
5. We hold that the streets and high-
ways belong to the people, and that the
granting of free franchises to corpora-
tions for the use of streets, alleys and
highways is an abuse of delegated au-
thority, and that all franchises should be
son. to the highest bidder, by contribut-
ing to the people its equivalent into the
public treasury a bonus equal to the
value of the franchise desired, reverting
after a reasonable time to the public to
which they belong; that all chartered
corporations should be compelled under
a strict law to make regular semi-annual (
statements of their financial standing,
w hich would be evidence in court of its
standing for the purpose of taxation.
6. We believe that ample protection
should be given to capital honestly ac-
quired and judiciously invested; that all
factories and other industries employing
labor should be encouraged to find a
home within our midst, especially those
engaged in the manufacture of home
products, such as cotton, etc., with such
provision by law that will prevent them
from using the infant labor of our State
for their own interest.
7. We hold that the best interests of
labor can best be conserved by organi-
zation, and we demand for every man
hat labors an equal use of all natural

for Bonart, but the prosecution was the
side of the case that the Clerks were in- '
terested in, and well did Mr. Marsene -
Johnson conduct it. He covered the en-
tire Sunday closing law irom the time
it was instituted in Texas to the arrest
of Mr. Bonart. When he was through
there was nothing left for the jury to do
but find a verdict of guilty and assess a
penalty of $25 and costs.
This is the third time Ben Bonart has
been arrested and convicted for violat-
ing the Sunday closing law, and it will
not be the last time if he persists in
keeping his store open to supply cus-
tomers on Sunday. The Clerks are de-
termined that there shall be no straw
left unturned to enforce the Sunday
closing law in Galveston, so far as the
retail stores are concerned, and it is time
Mr. Bonart was finding it out.
Ben Bonart does not only violate the
Sunday closing law in open defiance of
organized labor in Galveston, but he runs
what we term an unfaiar store. He has
repeatedly refused to recognize the
Clerks’ Union and the contract of the
Labor Council, and organized labor-
should not forget this practice. If a
man is against one organization in the
town he is against them all, and the
nembers of organized labor should not
patronize such places. The Fair store is
very much UNFAIR to organized lanor
of Galveston. Keep that in mind.

The next order of business was the
election of officers. This was perhaps
the largest attendance at election of offi-
cers ever held in Galveston, and it was
quite exciting for some little time. Good
feeling prevailed all during the proceed-
ings, however, and every one was pleased
with the selection. Mr. Alex Gomez was
elected president, Thomas Gillan first
vice president, A. C. A. Pichard corre-
sponding-recording secretary, George A.
De Quoy financial secretary-treasurer.
This completed the organization, and
the meeting adjourned subject to the call
of the president, and this will be done
after the committee is ready to report
on the constitution, which committee
was appointed Saturday night.

The Retail Clerks’ Union had their
third trial against Mr. Ben Bonart of
the Fair Clothing House for violation of
the Sunday closing law. He was de-
tected in this violation last week and a
warrant was sworn out against him by
the prosecuting attorney. The case was
called in Justice Barry’s court last Tues-
day, with a trial by jury. The case
was stubbornly contested by the counsel
Bookkeeping, the sales of which to prac- '
tical bookkeepers, merchants and others
amount to $25 to $75 per day. His Pri-
mary Course of Bookkeeping is more ex-
tensive than the full course given at
many Business Colleges where it requires
double the time to graduate. His Col-
leges, by special arrangement, give their
advanced Shorthand students a course
of actual work in a private office, hence
they are also competent.
Prof. Draughon employs competent
and high salaried teachers, who do not
have to do office work, entertain com-
pany, etc., and while doing so neglect
their students, but they give leir en-
tire time and attention to their stu-
dents. He pays his faculties salaries
total of which exceeds $19,000 per year.
