that the sit-down strike method did
not represent the desires of an
M*'* ■ overwhelming maporlty of organ-
ic ized labor in our State; and that
while I was and had always been
friendly to organized labor, it was
‘‘un-American and unlawful to sit
down on somebody’s property and
try to remain there.” If a man
wants to quit a Job, or strike, he
has a' perfect right peaceably to
do so; but after quitting he has no
MOrfc right to sit down on property
or premises without permission
than he would have to sit down in
a private home uninvited.
The people of Texas approved
of my statement because it repre-
sented the sentiments of an over-
whelming majority of them. We
haven't had any sit-down strikes
in Texas and have had very little
labor troubles as compared to oth-
<s? states.
Now another unfortunate situa-
tion . has developed. -Recently in
Dallas a man who was trying to
show a pro-labor picture in a pub-
lic park was kidnapped and taken
out in the country by a bunch of
hoodlums wh$ tarred and feather-
ed him. Another labor organizer
was kidnapped and beaten so brut
ally that he was laid up In the
hospital for oyer a week. Othe-ij
outrages of a lesser nature were
perpetrated and threats were free-
ly being made as to what was go-
ing to be done with labor organiz-
ers. - ’•
Everyone concedes that fhbor has
a right to organize and to select
organizers and leaders of their own
choosing. Tile freedom of speech I

unfortunate Ku Klux epidemic
broke out anJ- many men were tak-
en from their homes at night and
flogged because they had violated
(he laws. The people of Texas
rose up in their might and took
the position that even if a man had
violated the law he, was entitled
to trial in a courthouse and not in
a creek bottom. Today it isn’t
even, claimed that the men who
were kidnapped ox tarred and
feathered were violating any law'.
All that was said by those who
perpetrated the outrages was that
the men belonged to the-C-10. It
isn’t a violation of the laws of our
country for these "men to belong
to the CIO, regardless of what we
may think of that organization.
In -my opinion, it is just as im.
portaht to protect people from out-
rages of this kind as to prevent
the taking of property from the
rightful owners by the sit-down
strike or other unlawful method.
Because I didn’t want to' see the
thing get started again in Texas I
immediately sent twenty-five mem-
bers of the State police to Dallas
with instructions to protect men in
their right to speak freely^nd to
assemble lawfully. These officers
are Instructed not to take sides in
any controversy but simply to pre-
vent violence on either side.
I was surprised to get a -bunch of
inspired telegrams apparently ap-
plying the treatment give^ these
organizers because; the telegrams
said, they were members of the
CIO. -I don’t care to what organ-
ization they belong. If they violate
any law they ought to be prosecut-
ed for it; but no set of men has
the right to take the law into their
own ljanda and kidnap, or beat, or
tar and feather, these men. I think
the peopla of Texas are backing
me up in this stand.
* * * • . ,
Since the State police went to
Dallas these troubles have practi-
cally ceased. I am Very hopeful
that the situation will adjust itself
without any further trouble
* * *
I really wish he general public
could know in detail the many fine
things that have been accomplish-
ed by the Public Safety Depart-
j ment. I am particularly proud of
j the intelligence branch. In this
division we have fingerprint, hand-
writing and ballistic experts. This
has been a great help to local of-
ficers everywhere apd, of course,
has materially assisted the State in
dealing with the more hardened
type of criminal.
Just as. illustrative of what has
been done in the one fijeld of bal-
listic work; As perhaps most of
you know insn from this depart-
ment can take: a bullet that has
been fired and trace it to the gun
that fired it by markings on . the
bullet. They have done this in
many cases that might otherwise
have gone down as “perfect crim-
advised that the shell with a cer-
tain numbfcr on it was from* the
same gun as that which fired the
shells found at the scene of the
crime. It was no trouble to trace
the owrne-rrhup of this shotgun and
its use to a negro in the commun-
ity who promptly confessed the
crime. This is just one of a num-
ber of similar cases that Illustrate
how quickly the department can
ftsslst-your local officers. " ~

Some time ago I had occasion to
use the handwriting experts. The
'State of Illinois had asked for ex-
tradition papers -on a prominent
citizen of this State on a charge
of forgery alleged to have been
committed in Illinois. The notary
public who took the acknowledge-
ment in Illinois identified this citi-
zen and in an affidavit asserted
that he had seen him sign the in-
strument in question. While I was
hearing the case -I had the hand-
writing expert from the Public
Safety Department to go over the
alleged forgad deed and compare
It with samples of the defendant’s
handwriting; ’ and before I could
close the hearing these experts re-
ported to me that without any ques-
tion the defendant had not forg-
ed the deed. You can imagine howj
grateful these people,were to our
department of Public Safety for the
service-, which cleared the name of
a cood citizen of Texas, ,
# * * *
From time to time I, shall try to
tell you more of the work of this
department and other repartments
of the State Government in which
I think you may be interested.

speaking of health racketeers, Dr.
the Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer,
said, “There is no meaner method
of hittm’ below the, belt than by
holding out false promises to in-
curables. This fact, however, does
not in the least deter the inscrup-
ulous who thus heartlessly prey
the sum of upon thousands of unfortunates
who are in a hopeless stage of ill-
ness. Thousands of dollars are ex-
tracted annually from individuals
v.'hose conditions direct thfiir hop-
es to the promises made by the
super-scientific gentry who claim to
have beaten the untiring research-
es or endowed laboratories to cur-
es for cancer, diabetes, tuberculos-
is, epilspsy, pellegra, .and other ser-
ious conditions.
“Unfortunately, it is words rath-
er than deeds that create the mir-
acle. A miracle which, instead of
being related to a cure is entirely
associated with the transfer pf
large sums of money from innocent
persons to those whose only inter-
est in health and health matters
stops at the cash register,
“It is the sad and killing fact that
in addition to the incurables, rhc-.iv
are thousands of believing persons
who become the victims of this
type of racketeer, and thus through
self-diagnosis and self-treatments
postpone a real investigation of
their ailments until the incurable
stage is reached.
“Two main rules should be- fol-
lowed in this connection. The first
is to have an annual physical ex-
amination by a reputable physic-^;
ian. In this way incipient condi-
tions can be discovered and ’.by
proper treatment the disease- can
frequently be conquered. The sec-
ond rule is to mistrust all high
promising statements of ‘.amazing
discoveries’.” . , '
to promote the improvement of cot-.
_ and,make;promptly
available to the producers the clas-
sification of any cotton they pro-
duce.
The act, as explained by Miller,
also provides that the Department
of Agriculture shall collect and pub- in£ ant-
lish timely information on the mar-
ket prices of the various-’classcs of
cotton. Information on the current
prices for grades and -staple lengths
of cotton will be posted at gins and
other public placea in cotton grow- his home,
ing communities.
When the services provided by
the new aqt are started, samples
will be sent to central offices for
classing, and Miller indicated that
growers should, receive their class-
ing turnout within tour days after
ginning. '
