Antilynching Bill Faces Senate Debate and State Rights Clash
A copy of the anti lynching bill circulated by Senator Tom Conally faces Senate scrutiny. The measure would give federal reach when three or more mobbers act and state courts fail to prosecute, penalize local sheriffs and even taxpayers, to fund lynching victims’ families. Opponents call it a federal overreach that ignores state sovereignty and real progress against mob violence.

Observations Of Interest To Stockfarmers
The Bureau of Agricultural Economics cites a large out-of-storage movement of eggs as the key development in the poultry and egg situation this past month. Egg prices may rise this winter and next spring due to high production per hen and a record low number of laying hens for this time of year, though harsh weather could curb output. Poultry prices in early 1938 likely stay above 1937 levels due to cold storage holdings and fewer on farms, with supply increasing in the second half of the year. Grain markets strengthened in early 1938 on strong demand for wheat and corn. A large wolf captured in Blanco County may affect local stock. San Antonio market roundups note hogs, cattle, and calves with varied prices and active trading.
