The newspaper man wrote the let
ter in answer to a letter published
by Galveston business men who at
tacked the Houston Press because of
the publication of articles by Reagan
showing facts that other forces were
concealing.
"It isnt a question of political
groups," says the newspaper man.
"I am not caring a tinker's dam ft i i
these groups. There was and thei
is something finer and nobler involved.
a thing which we sent our men
Europe to die and to live for a ques
tion of liberty.
"Here are the 'causes' which brougl
the guard here:
"1. An interurban was shot int
by two negroes, members of the lonj.
shoremen, it is true, but an act »-i
their own volition. Both men hm
been indicted and one is on the islar. i
and the other has escaped to Tole
or Detroit.
"2. Five automobiles that brougl.'.

stoned outside of the city limits

"3. A white strikebreaker was beat
en up one evening in June by sever .:
longshoremen and his head stuck
a water pail.
"These are the crimes—the terrible
offenses which causes the state
Texas to police Galveston today
& cost of $50,000 a month.
"But that is not all. You and i
and the rest of us were told thsi'
freight had stopped moving th:u
wheat and cotton could not be ship
ped if the strike continued. The go
emor spoke of this terrible condition
in his proclamation. Yet all the cot
ton and grain that goes out of Gal
veston, with a small exception, do
not go on coastwise ships, but upon
ceep sea vessels—and it was tlu
coastwise longshoremen that struck,
not the deep sea men.
"On July 14 General Wolters took
over the police force of Galveston an
all police power. The commissioner
elected by large majorities, were ii.
suited by the act, and there is no cit v
in Texas, where there are red bloode
business men, who would have stoo
for such usurpation of power or e
thinly woven a pretext.
"But that was not all. Thursday of
the past week, John Mathias, cour

county court room and addressed
members of the bar cf Gnlveston, an

THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS
STRIKEBREAKERS
AGENT HERE
To Secure Pressmen For
Cincinnati, But Nothin'
Doin'
The pressmen of most of the Cin
cinnati, Ohio, printing offices are on
strike and have been out for several
weeks. The employers of that city
are becoming desperate and are do
ing everything and anything to se
cure men to take the strikers' places,
ast week several ads appeared in a
local paper calling for men to meet
the employers' agent at one of the lo
cal hotels on Sunday afternoon. Just
to get a line on the dope to be handed
out several of the local men called on
the scab representative. He gave
them a long line of "bull" on the
pleasant conditions and good wages
lo be paid. Also intimating that no
labor trouble existed. He also told
now much the employers of Cincinnati
loved their workmen—just like broth
ers. After securing all the dope, the
local men pointed out to the scab
finder the futility of trying to secure
men in Hamilton for the dirty work
laid out. The gentlemen returned
i) the banks of the Ohio a much sad
uer but wiser man.
