Irrigated Suburban Acre Farms

। Remember That West Gardendale |
is beautifully located on Castroville Boulevard,® S
near the Lady of The Lake Academy. The 0
soil is extremely fertile and absolutely free g
i from rock or gravel. 1 Buy an irrigated farm ■
I on the edge of rapid growing San Antonio,
and in a few years you will sell this same land
by the front foot. Lay aside a small sum from
your allowance and invest in our suburban farms
boats of the four big package freight :
lines are still operated by union sea
men.
The Lage Carriers association has
less than a hundred ships in commie
eion—not one fifth as many as the in
dependent interests. The total number
of vessels controlled by the L. C. A.
is 553, and it is generally admitted
that scores of these ships will uot leave
their moorings this season. Of the 90
odd association boats in service nearly
all are controlled by the big corpora- '
tions. such as the United States steel
corporation, the Hanna interests and
the Pickands-Mather Co.
Nepresentatives of some of the small
er concerns are complaining bitterly
♦ hat they are holding the bag, that
their boats are rotting up against the
docks, that the big fellows are getting
the pick of the strike breakers and the
cream of the business, and that they
favor peace, but are coerced into fight
ing the marine workers and threaten
ed with loss of business later on and
complete bankruptcy if they refuse to
co-operate with the large corporations.
The labor people are greatly interest
ed in the announced retirement of J.
W. Van Cleave from the presidency of
the National Association of Manufae
tnres. Van Cleave has been an uncom
promising opponent of labor organiza (
tions, and declares that the burden of
his position bas been too great for anx ■
one man to carry.
It is asserted that Van Cleave's pre I
d?cessor, David M. Parry, retired from ]
office on account of a nervous break '
down, and now Van Cleave complains]
of the tremendous strain to which the i
president of the National Association I
of Manufacturers is subjected.
Several years ago, when Van Cleave i
assumed office, he recommended that J
$500,000 a year for a period of three
years he levied upon the membership
of the assooiation for the purpose of
creating a war fund to fight organ
ired labor. His recommendation wan
enthusiastically adopted. *Tt is not
known, however, whether the entire i
sum was contributed to the war chest, I
but it is certain that enormous amounts
of money were spent to fight the print
ers’ eight-hour movement, to prose
• cute thn boycott and injunction eases
in the courts, to finance the employ
ing batters in the strike still in prog
less and to assist in other straggle® to ,
exterminate the unions.
But nut withstanding the extraordi- ]
nary expen iitures of the anti-unionists
and who were given considerable of an,
advantayH by f| tp industrial depression
and widespread employment, not a sin
gle national union has been deotroybd.
and but f fW local organizations. In
fact, tiie trade unions are. in many re
spects. stronger today than they ever
have been throughout their history.

Indications are that, along with va
nous political questions and internal
I jurisdictional controversies that will 1
create lively fights in this year’s con-
I vention of the American Federation of
. Labor, the prohibition issue will also
be precipitated to add to the excite
meat. The convention of the hotel and
restaurant employes in Minneapolis re- i
cently appealed to the people of the |
country to smite the prohibitionists ■
wherever found, the coming brewery
workers’ convention will demand that
action be taken against the “dry”
J movement, and the cigarmakers and
other trades are requesting that* a def
inite stand be made.
f>n the other hand the temperance
sentiment in the federation is being
centralized. Re\. Charles Stoizle, su 1
perintendent of the department of I
church and labor in the Presbyterian |
church, who was formerly a machinist •
and is now a fraternal delegate to the I
A. F. of L., has sent a confidential 1
letter to prominent labor officials and ।
i is sounding them on the question of i
organizing a “temperance fellow- [
ship at the next federation conven- r
tion in Toronto. R eVe Rtelzle points
out that such a “fellowship” exists!
I among the unionists of Great Britain,
i n meeting of which he recently at
| tended, and suggests that “the time
has come for the organized working t
man of America and especially th* i
leaders among them, to take a firm |
and determined stand on this ques [
tion. ’ ’
