OF LOCAL INTEREST
Commercial Organizations
and Civic Clubs Urged
Passage of Amendment.
A div officers friends of the military
establishment in San Antonio and a I-
vacates of a standing army as large as
that asked for by General Pershing
expressed astonishment Thursday at
the failure of Congressman Harry
Wurzbach to tote on the Curry-Anthoiiy
amendment to the army officer elimina
lion bill which ha - been iqioiisored by
commercial organizations and civic clubs
in San Antonio and citizenship gem r-
ally throughout Texas.
(’ongroxsman Wursbacb has posed as
a friend to the army and has repeated!)
expressed his Intention of Going all that
Im could to make San Antonio the great*
est military center. The Curry-Antho
amendment was offered by (.'ongre??-
inan Anthony of Kansas to prevent ef-
ficient officers bring dismissed from the
army which proposed action within the
last few months has brought thousands
of letters of disapprov: 1 to Washington.
Only Two For It.
Numerous army officers of every rank
found room for severe criticism for
nos» of the Texas delegation in tie
House of Representatives when it. was
learned that a majority of representa-
tive* voted against the Curry-Anthony
amendment and that a number of them
did not vote on the measure at all. Ac-
cording to the Army and Navy Register
of September 9 only two representatives
from Texas Brigg> and Buchanan vot-
ed for the amendment. The Register
further states that five representatives
from Texas Wurzbach Garrett. Mans-
field. Connelly and Blanton did not
vote while the remaining eleven cast
their ballot to let the eliiminatiou bill
remain as it was originally passed. Ac-
cording to the Regi ter’s tabulations
Representatives Black Box Garner
Hudspeth Lanhan Rayburn Hardy
Jones Banders Sumners and Williams
voted against the Curry-Anthony amenl-
meut.
Texas Is Buffer State.
Officers at the various military posts
here were unanimous in their opinion
that if there is one state that shou.d
support the army it is Texas and
voiced their surprise at learning of
the -action of the Texas delegation in
the House with reference to the vote on
the Curry-Anthony amendment.
Representatives from some states
could be expected to vote against the
amendment one officer said because
they do not know anything about the
army. Texas however has been the
home of the largest part of the army
and its representatives would naturally
be expected to be its friends. Further-
more it was said the army I >oks to
Texas for its support due to the fact
that the government has spent more
money in Texas on the army than in
any other state.
• Expected His Support.
Other reasons for the surprise at
the action of the Texas representatives
was that Texas is the buffer state be-
tween the United Btates and Mexico and
would be the first to suffer in case of
a clash or even strained relations be-
tween the two countries. Texas has
the longest border of any state that
must bo protected and there are mor*
Mexican troops along the Texas fron-
tier than in any other part of Mexico.
Bringing the situation closer home
to Ban Antonians army officers here
made known their surprise at Repre-
sentative Wurzbaclfs action in not vot-
ing at all on the Curry-Anthony amend*
W^nt. Texas is the one state that
wbuld be expected to sup]>ort the army
they said and out of Texas San An-
tonio is the one city that is looked to.
to lake the lead in the State’s support
of the army in the national legislatuie.

GENERAL MANAGER BE ROAB
SAYS LINE NOT AFFECTEB
BY BECISION AT CHICAGO.
J. S. Peter Asserts Agreement Which
Ended Strike on Many Lines Is “Not
Entirely” Acceptable to the San An-
tonio & Aransas Pass — Indicated
Also That the “Sausage” Will Not
Accept It — Union Leader Predicts
Men Scon Will Be Back at Work.
Settlement of strikes on more than 50 railroads in the
nation as a result of the authorization of the policy commit-
tee allowing Bert M. Jewell strike leader to sign separate
peace agreements will have no effect on the policy of the
San Antonio & Aransas Pass railroad according to a state-
ment by J. S. Peters vice president and general manager
Thursdaj- noon.
In reply to a question as to whether the terms of peace
agreement were acceptable to the S. A. & A. P. Mr. Peters
said “not entirely." However he would not say what par-
ticular parts of the agreement were not acceptable.
“As far as the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railroad is
concerned the Chicago conference has had no effect" he
added.
When told of the attitude of local strikers that it was the
| duty of the roads to approach the strikers for a settlement.
Mr. Peters denied this and intimated that no such action
would be taken by the roads.
Mr. Peters said that he believed* that the terms of the
agreement as quoted in the paper were not exactly right.
Although A. R. Ponder receiver and general manager
of the San Antonio Uvalde & Gulf railroad was out of town
it was stated at his office that the “Sausage" is not a party to
the strike settlement. It was admitted that about 70 em-
ployes had gone on strike but it was stated that they had
been replaced and that “everything is working nicely.”
