WILL STOP BUILDING.
Threat Of Building Trades Assembly
to Strike will Deter Many From
Ordering Work.

a well known contractor says that
the threat of the building trades to
strike II the card system does not go
into effect will have dampening ef-
feet on the ardor of builders and that
no more new buildings will be started
for some time, says the El Paso Her
aid. He says that he knows OF several
parties who contemplated the erection
of buildings who will not now do 80
until 1t Is certain that there will be no
strike. He says contractors are also
afraid to bid on buildings as they al
ways have to guarantee to complete
a job In a certain time and that they
can not do this II they expect strike
at any minute.
Then he says there are two brick
layers unions In FL Paso. one known
as the local and one as the interna-
tional. The building trades assembly
only recognizes one OF these unions
and he wants to know how the em-
ployers are to know which Is the right
one. The building trades assembly
says one is the real union and the
members of the other contend that
their union ig the real thing.

State Engineer McCune received tho
news in an unofficial way this morning
but he has no doubt that the federal

the part OF the men who revised the
statutes or Is a scheme concocted Nv
the opponents OF New Mexican state
hood to start boundary war. and thus
cause such "a confusion among the
friends of statehood that the PROPOSE.
ton will be badly defeated.
The discovery Of the contrariety was
made several days ago by the commits
sion In charge Of the codiflcation of the
federal laws In Washington. The new
statutes gave the 3sth degree as the
boundary between Colorado and New
Mexico, and the commission looked M
the maps and surveys and saw that the
line given there was the 37th degree.
II appears that an attempt was made
to keep the matter a secret until an
investigation could he held. hut the
senate committee on statehood secured
possession OF the Information and will
spring II ut the proper time as one OF
the arguments against statehood.
Several of the New York papers pub

ancc last week and held that the stat
utes would have to he amended or

cities and towns that would be affected
by any such drastic ruling are Tel

Vista, Pagosa Springs, Alamosa, Cone
Jos. Antonito, Trinidad WalsenburY.
La Junta. Springfield and numerous
others of lesser Importance.
The changing by the statutes of the
boundary line between Colorado and
New Mexico must be an error but car
not see how any such mistake could
have been made" said the state en-
gipeer this morning. 1t will certainly
be productive OF great confusion before
II is settled. The discrepancy may
have been purposely arranged in order
to befuddle the members of congress
