Here is a true account of how

heroic part in a star engagement
a few days ago: Bros. Rogers,
Frank Walker and John Sieverts
were out fishing at the bay bridge
in a leaky skiff without oar locks.
Bro. Sieverts’ dog Snider got sea-
sick. The brothers’ attention was
attracted to two fishermen who
were fishing oysters when the oys-
terman's skiff sunk. Then the
three Dockworkers and Sinder
went to the rescue just in time as
the oldest of the fishermen was
about to sink. The fishermen re-

Tonopah, Nev.—The miners here
have decided to sever their connec-
tion with the Industrial Workers of
the World and form a union of their
own. At Goldfield great excitement
has been caused by the labor troubles.
Nearly half of the population is pa-
trolling the streets. John Silva was
killed and Joe Smith of the Industrial
Workers is under arrest.
Washington.—The American Feder-
ation of Labor has taken a hand in
the street railway strike in Louisville
and, through Secretary Frank Morri-
son, representing Samuel Gompers,
lodged a protest with the second as-
sistant postmaster general against the
alleged tactics of the railroad com-
pany in using “U. S. Mail”, signs on
cars not carrying mails in order to
operate them.
Chicago.—Cornelius P. Shea issued
a statement that he will be a candi-
date for reelection as president of the
teamsters’ union at the annual conven-
tion to be held in Boston next August.
After the conclusion of Shea’s second
trial, in which he was acquitted of the
charge of conspiracy in connection
with the teamsters’ strike, he declared
he proposed to withdraw from the
leadership of the organization.
Washington.—Delegates represent-
ing the various unions of great lakes
employes called upon the president
and urged the prosecution of those in-
dicted for violating the eight-hour law.
The delegation related to the presi-
dent what they regarded as the more
flagrant violations of the law by gov-
ernment contractors on the great
lakes. The president expressed him-
self as determined that all laws shall
be enforced.
Panama.—Canal steam shovel men
have asked for a material increase of
pay and withdrawal of the new rules
concerning the accumulation of vaca-
tion time. Their demands have been
refused by the chief engineer. A
committee of three left by the last
steamship to lay their demands be-
fore President Roosevelt. They were
notified by cable that Mr. Roosevelt
indorsed the action of Chief Engineer
Stevens.

The bosses all want union men.
That is the only answer Business
Agent Treusdale gave to the re-
porter when he was asked “how’s
things,” and while it is a short
sentence, it says a lot.
The old timers among the boys
who wear the white overalls all
say that there has never been a
better season, and with the good
feeling existing now between the
membership of 585 and the union
bosses, everything is running ex-
ceptionally smooth. The busi-
ness agent reports that the men
are all working, and more are
needed, and that the bosses are
working with the union without a
hitch. The next regular meeting
will be May 2, and as there is spe-
cial business of importance to
transact, all are requested to be
present at 8 o’clock sharp.
Bro. Ludy has laid away his
cluster and putty knife, and has
associated himself with Mr. Jno.
Hanna, the real estate man, a
business at which he is no strang-
er, and the best wishes of 585 go
with him in his new employment.
A letter from Bill B. Cook who is
business agent at Dallas brings
very encouraging news from that
citv in the fact of several more
shops having signed up. Our last
meeting of Thursday the 21st was
not only well attended, but was
a profitable one, five new men
were taken into the ranks, and
the receipts were very gratifying
in the cash line.
Don’t forget the day, May 2nd,
the hour, 8 p. m., Brothers, of our
next meeting and be in the hall

: X NY one Studying the History of Galveston can readily see the brilliant future for Port Bolivar—Not many years ago Galveston had no deep water and only one railroad, and
A the Territory upon which she now depends for her greatness was then sparsely settled and unproductive of export commodities and consumed little of imports, yet
X H X Galveston today is ranked among the greatest ports of the world—Port Bolivar is the natural outlet for a vast territory thickly populated and producing an enor-
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ mous amount of export commodities, such, as corn, cotton, cottonseed meal, cake, live stock, etc , aside from nature’s bounteous yield of lumber, logs, ores, and pro-
ducts of the mines. The region consumes a large amount of commodities also.
Labor Success at Municipal Elec=
tions.
Elections in secondary cities of
Illinois resulted on the 16th in
victories for labor candidates in
two cities. Mark Jardine, a har-
ness maker and the Union Labor
candidate for Mayor of Rockford,
received 3,108 votes, and was
elected over Mayor Jackson by a
plurality of 383. At Aurora, Ed-
ward C. Finch, the labor candidate
for Mayor on the Independent
People’s ticket, was elected by
1,600.
This enormous amount of shipping necessary to supply this great territory and population with port facilities most of necessity be at Port Bolivar, where the neces-
sar handling storing, checking and transporting will create a pay roll of larger proportions, which added to rice mills, boat building plants, sawmills, and- wood working plants,
om-aj of which Port Bolivar is a logical location, being the base of supply for raw material, cheap fuel and the advantages of cheap water rates. All the industries will furnish
profitable employment to a large number of men and it is a proven fact that where there is a large pay roll there is, a city.
Now is the time to invest in REAL ESTATE—Help build the port and reap your share of the profits—Property can now be had cheap and on easy terms Safer
than a Savings Bank and twenty times more profitable.

An Open Letter.
Galveston, Texas, April 13, ‘07
Mr. A. Ferrier, City Auditor, Gal-
veston, Texas.
Dear Sir: Will you kindly an-
swer the following questions?
In McClure’s Magazine of Oc-
tober last. Mr. Geo. K. Turner
stated that the present commis-
sion government had saved one
million dollars in four and a half
f ,
years.
(You stated to me privately that
you gave no such figures.)
(If you are not afraid of losing
your position,) (by telling the
truth, will you please state the
exact condition of the City’s books
at the present time. If the sys-
tem in book-keeping inaugurated
by you, for which I paid you, is
still in vogue, it ought not to re-
quire much of your time to fur-
nish the desired information.
What amount of taxes due prior
to 1900 and for 1900, has been
collected since the storm, also
what amount of compromises and
interest remitted? When you
were Comptroller of accounts you
stated that the expense of the city
government depended upon the
collection of taxes. If Mr. Turn-
er’s statement is correct the large
amount of improvements that have
been made were either based on
the collection of back taxes or
valuations created by resolution.
If we have returned to the days
of miracles, and the present city
government can make improve-
ments and create values by simple
edict, then they must be of Di-
vine origin, for history furnishes
only one parable where the multi-
tude had been ted with five loaves
and two fishes and there remained
fragments enough to fill several
baskets. If it is a fact that these
improvements have been made by
simple edict, then why was the
astounding announcement made
recently—that no further 1 m -
provements could be made with-
out further issuance of bonds?
Hoping that your gentlemanly
training has been of a superior
nature to that of your chief execu-
tive and that you will understand
that common decency requires an
answer to this letter, and expect-
ing an early reply, I remain,
Yours most respectfully,
A. W. FLY.
