Testing Open Port Law - * Austin, Tex., Sept. 1.?The Texas Open Port Law, passed by a special session of the Texas legislature in IMt, is going through its initial trial as a result of the present railroad strike. Since the beginning of the Strike, ten Texas railroad centers kaes been placed under the law and are being policed by state rangers. Ihxas Is th?t onlv state In the n?. tion, according to state officials, that has such a law. It was passed as a result of the situation at Galveston 'doitlg the strike of longshoremen in 1M0. It is designed to empower the governor of the state to take complate charge of police activities in any speffifled territory when commerce is tofof interrupted, without invoking MMKallaw.

No attempt had been made to invoke its provisions or test its constitutionality. The effectiveness of the act, accord, j ing to state officers, is made possible i by the fact that before Texas became i a state, a system of state rangers | was established as the official police organization. The normal force uel fore the strike was 47. This number has been augmented and approximately 16# special rangers commissioned. These police officials are stationed at railroad centers where open port law has been invoked, and in more than 20 other centers of strike activity. Upon declaring open port law, the governor assumes complete control r.f all police activities and state rangers named by which the governor shall enforce the law. Violation is a felony. Although the law has been in force less than a month in any Texas town, state officials declare it is a decided success and is a great financial saving to the state as compared with martial law action. In the centers where the law has been put in force, the railroads are voluntarily paying the cost of fftaintaining the state rangers. M First Time to See Aviation Meet Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, Sept. 1.? For the first time in its one hundred and eighteen years as a Republic, Haiti saw a modern aviation meet this week on the flying field of the Fourth Air Squadron of the Marine Corps Aviation Force. President Louis F. Boro, the members of his cabinet and the heads of the Court of Cassation and of the Council of State were the honor guests of the American High Commissioner, Brigadier-General John H. Russell. Madame Borno, wife of the president, headed a large delegation of Haitieti society and one feature of the unqualified * success of the meet was the evidence of the growing approachment between Haitian and American officials and social circles. It is estimated that a total of 2,000 persons witnessed the stirring progrom that was carried out without mishap oir delay. Flights in formation, a daring mock fight between two swift planes, the transportation 'to the field of a simulated casualty and the immediate transfer to a waiting ambulance, a parachute drop, acrobatic stunts, target practice with machine guns and dummy bombs, and the antics of a squad of clowns from the enlisted personnel of the squadron ex, cited the liveliest interest and ad| miration of President Borno and hia compatriots.

Develop New Varieties Of Fruil Miami, Fla., Sept. 4.?Two Florids horticulturists, one a Chinese and th< other a negro, have developed new varieties of fruits which the forme) believes is destined to fill a gap in th< fruit calendar of this section, and th< other to introduce a new variety ol grapefruit. Lue Gim Gong, the Chinese, whoas estate near DeLand is one of tlu show places of Central Florida, gained international prominence some years ago when he disclosed the de vclopment of a new variety of orange possessing unusual qualities from the viewpoint of the citrus fruit grower. The orange, which was named the "Lue Gim Gong" in honor of its develoDer. now is nrodnn??il throughout the state. In March 1921, Lue Gim Gong announced the production of, and exhibited, a grapefruit remarkable for the penetrating power of its agreeable aroma. Hii experiments with citrus fruits are continuing. Hezekiah Brooks, negro gardenei and fruit grower of Miami, recently announced the successful conclusion of his attempts to produce a new va riety of mango. The result is des tined to fill a gap in the fruit calendar of this section because, he claims the fruit ripens between Novembei and January, a period during which the mango is not to be found in thia market. The Brooks mango is similar to the Mulgoba in appearance and texture but is declared to be superior to thai variety in flavor. Some experts pronounce it a cross between the Mulgoba and Sundash. Brooks has presented some of the new mangoes tc Charles Deering for propagation and experiments on the Deering estate here. Japan's Music Mania A music mania has descended upon Japan, according to a Japanese journal, which clearly has an editor an unsympathetic ear. This same editor has a discerning eye, however; for he notices that Germahy is supplying most of the instruments whki support the "mania." German goods of other kinds, too, travelling ic Japan are said to be increasing b| leaps ' and bounds.?The Nation's Business. Advertise in The Times. I ,1 Organisation and Mora Organization Washington, Sept. 3.?Only by organisation and mora organisation can the WuAers of Amaftfoa secure a ^ull measure of economic justice. President Samuel Goropejrt of the American Federation of Labor declared tonight in a Labor message addressed to the American people. A four year "antMsbor war," Mr. Gompers said, had demonstrated the power of the trade union to protect its members against organized employers, before whom unorganized labor had found itself "weakened, scattered and helpless." He added that the time had come for laboring men and women at lfest to present "a united workers' front to the powers that prey." The message In part follows: "EVjery contest with the owners ana manipulators of industry accentuates the truth that the workers nave but few outside their own ranks who sympathize with them in their kind or support them in their efforts. "The uncounted victories that organized labor wins, the few temporary setbacks that labor experiences, cry aloud the divine truth that justice for those who toil can only come through the workers own efforts, their own organization, their own persistency. "Now is the time for the workers to rally more completely under the standard of the unions." Let Uncle Sam Help You An American concern was selling pipe to a certain South American government. The first shipment ment aroused the enthusiasm and praise of engineers for its excellent quality, and the ire ot our competitors for the same reason. Unfortunately there was a delay in tho second shipment. The representative of a large and prosperous foreign country proceededv to the presidential mansion and called the attention of the executive to "the lack of interest shown by American concerns to South American business." They had better cancel the order, opined the diplomat?and they did. The other country got the business, "and the devil of it is," said my informant, "that we had a dollar diplomat aching for a chance to hold that business but the firm wouldn't fight." Our dollar diplomacy is picayunish ^ compared to that of other countries, mainly because our business men | don't make use of it. There's the j rub. No wonder our foreign staffs are supposed to go to tea-dances? many of our business people don't give them anythiag^better to do. A j certain proportion of ^ citizens seem to think taxfe^^Mid'for repre[ sentation are a dead* tos.

So many an American business man goes ahead on his own without . using the services the Government places at his disposal, and the foreigners who make SUcomfortable liv1 ing from these gentlemen chuckle i with glee.?The Nation's Business, r - ' < ? r Gas Pumps in Court > : The gasoline pump which is more of a feature of our highways today than watering troughs ever were in 5 an earlier generation have now been ' before the federal courts, and may ' yet gain the attention of the Su! preme Court. The case arose from a decision of " the Federal Trade Commission, which > held it to be an act of unfair com1 petition for an oil company to lend a 1 pump to a retailer on< condition that through this pump the retailer would ' dispense only the company's gaso> line. The Commission thought, toe, ' that there was violation of the por' tion of the Clayton Act which for bids "tying clauses," L e., the lease 1 or sale of an article upon condition that there would be dealing in the commodities of no one else. The Circuit Court of Appeals at Philadelphia thought otherwise Agreeing that there was a* public interest in the matter, the court declared there was no evidence the pub lie had been injured, either through increased cost of distribution or by reason of enhanced price of gasoline to the public; on the contrary, the cost of distribution had been lessened. The court reasoned that enforcement of the Trade Commission's conclusions would result in the public paying higher prices for its gasoline. In the old days, the oil companies had sold kerosene in barrels, and kept ownership of the barrels. Later, they had sold gasoline in steel bar' rels, and kept ownership in the con1 tainers. The volume of the demand for gasoline had outran the possibility for using barrels, and the punp with its reservoir had taken their place. This would seem to have been 1 the reasoning of the court with respect to the public Internet.?The Na1 lion's Business.
