CENTRAL LABOR UNION
Resolutions Adopted Against En-.
pIoyment Of Convict Labor.
INDIVIDUAL CARD SYSTEM ADOPTED.

At the regular meeting of the Cen
trail Labor Union of Albuquerque last
night in Carpenters hall, on West
Gold avenue. after the usual routine
business, attention was called to the
fact that there is pending in the legs
lature OF New Mexico, in session at
Santa Fe, measures for the employ
ment of convict labor on public build
ings and public highways. On motion,
strongly seconded by several rousing
speeches. resolutions were adopted
declaring against the measures and
asking the friends of labor generally,
who are members of the Legislature,
to work and vote against such bills.
The resolutions were referred to the
committee on legislation, with instruc-
tions to forward same to Councilman
Thomas Hughes, to be presented at
his earliest convenience before the
legislature.
The members of the local organiza
tion believe that should the employ
ment of convict labor be instituted on
public buildings there is no telling
where it may stop, and propose to use
their influence in stopping it in its in
fancy. They figure that there are hun,
dreds of unemployed in New Mexico
who have never committed crime who
are deserving of and need all the EN-.
ployment they can secure.
The individual card system was
adopted by the organization, allowing
those who wish to become affiliated
with the Central Labor Union and who
have not sufficient numbers to form a
local union of their own trade to do
so by the payment of so cents per
month in dues, and allowing them all
the protection of the other members
and voice and vote in the meeting.
Five stone masons made application
last evening and were admitted under
individual card system. 1t is also ex-
pected that the few brlcklayers, plas-
terers, plumbers and other trades peo-
pie will take advantage of this idea
The union now has eight different
trades affiliated, and the prospects
for several more are very bright.

Prominent members of the church
from Las Vegas, Santa Fe, Gallup and
Winslow will he initiated into the
lodge, besides the twenty-eight from
this city.
The Knights of Columbus will have

have been eXemplified on next Sunday.
Preparations are being made to render
this affair complete in every detail, and
it goes beyond saying that the Knights
in a short time will see the materiall-
zation of their hopes for one of the
foremost social organizations in the
city. The ceremonies will take place
at the Odd Fellows hall, which is well
adapted for the elaborate function.

Washington. Feb. 2i.-During the
consideration of morning business in
the senate today bill was passed Gre
ating a new division of the eastern dis
trict of Texas and providing for the
holding of sessions of court at TeXar-
kama.
A bill was passed authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to issue
number of souvenir medallions for the
benefit of the Thomas Jefferson Memo
rial association of the United States.
A resolution was adopted calling on
the postmaster general to furnish in
formation regarding the effect on the
revenue of the postoffice department in
the event of the adoption of amend
ment to the postoffice appropriation
bill giving all periodicals the same
rate and terms as those now given
weekly periodicals.
Mr.. Quay, speaking to his resolution
declaring it to be the sense of the SEN
ate that a vote should be taken on the
statehood bill prior to March 2, said
occasion for it had passed, but he de-
sired a test vote on the question OF
cloture in the senate for future refer
ence.
Mr.. Aldrich thought the resolution
should go to the committee on rules
whereupon Mr.. Quay remarked that II
the senators who were so vociferous
the other day opposing colture decline
to go on record he was willing the
resolution should be referred.
The resolution thereupon was sent
to the committee.
Upon motion of Mr.. Proctor the ag
ricultural appropriation bill was taker
up. The statehood amendment which
was put on as a rider was passed ovel
by unanimous consent.
1t has been agreed to withdraw the
omnibus statehood bill as an amend
ment to the postoffce and agriculture
appropriation bills.
The omnibus bill will be kept befor,
the senate but will not interfere will
the appropriation bills.

HOPEWELL WAS HERE.
He Will Recommend the East Side
Site for Terminals.
GONE TO PeNNSYlVANl

Hon. w s. Hopewell, geenral man,
ager for the Albuquerque Eastern and
Santa Fe Central railways, came down
from his headquarters at Santa Fe last
night. He was met by the executive
committee of the citizens committee
and consulted in regard to the Albu.
querque Eastern terminal site propo.
sition.
The readers of The Citizen already
know that the city Of Albuquerque has
rendered the railroad two sites to
choose from for terminal buildings.
They also know that the sites offered
are the best and most acceptable in
the city. The west site and the site
that costs the least money, lies west
and south of the west end of Gold ave
nue.. The east site and the site fav-
ored by Mr.. Hopewell, and a number
of other gentlemen connected with the
new railroads, and who are also inter
ested in disposing of the Gentle tract
of land, nes east Of the Santa Fe
tracks and directly north of Copper
avenue.
Mr.. Hopewell sand this morning that
he favored the east side tract for a
site for several reasons. The most i'm
portant reason is that this site is To-
Gated near the manufacturing district
of the city.
Mr.. Hopewell left this morning for
Pittsburg, Pa, to present the proposed
sites to the promoters in the building

FOR COUNTY DIVISION.
An Almost Solid Front Here for a
Smaller County.
REPUBLICANS INTERVIEWED.

The county division proposition is
growing interesting in Albuquerque,
and there is an almost unanimous
opinion here. among merchants and
taxpayers, in favor of the smaller
county.
II Is safe to say. without fear of CON
tradiction, that 9S per cent of the peo-
pie OF Albuquerque, irrespective of
party affiliation, but who have the in
terests of the city at heart, are in fav-
or of Bernalllo county being divided,
and in support of that declaration the
following republicans were interview
ed this morning on the subject:
A. Bachechi, Wholesale liquor mer-
chant-You bet your life, am in favor
Of county division, The smaller the
better, and would like to see our
county just as small as the Albuquer-
que grant. It would prove beneficial
to the merchants and taxpayers.
Frank j. Wilson, manager OF the
Blanchard Meat and Supply company
i am decidedly in favor of a new
county-that is Bernalillo county be
ing divided, and the territorial legisla
| ture. seeing that the merchants and
| taxpayers are almost unit for divis
ion, should grant thei- appeals for di
vision.
DR.. B. II. Briggs, proprietor of the
Alyarado Pharmacy am heartily in
favor of smaller county, especially
in this particular instance. II would
be found best to the material and In.
dustrial interests of Albuquerque. and
the Legislature should pass bill Great
Ing a new county out of Bernaiilio
county.
Simon Stern, proprietor of clothing
store-There ere two sides to every
question and county division is no ex-
ception to this rule. While a small
compact county would reduce the run
ming expenses, II must also be taken
into consideration that the county bus
mess and the courts bring a great
many people and great many dollars
to this city and probably some of this
money will be spent elsewhere in case
another county is established. 1t
strikes me, however, that the city of
Albuquerque, which pays about So per
cent of all the taxes, should be so rep
resented in the management OF the
county, as to place its citizens In abso-
lutte control Of county affairs and fin
ances.
Bernard Ilfald, one of the prophet
ors of The Phoenix" Dry Goods COM
pany-It seems to me that the division
proposition is a good one, In view of
the fact that the people of Albuquer-
que are paying most all the taxes any
way. | am in favor of the county be-
ing divided.
Other merchants and taxpayers, who
were huIriedly seen, stated emphatic
ally that they were in favor of Bernal-
lilo county being divided.
The matter was discussed at two
mass meetings Of merchants and tax
payers" said one gentleman, "and |
can see no reason, after being asked
for our views on the matter, for the
territorial legislature to doubt our
in the county division propo-
sition."

NO IMPORTANCE
Attached to Demand on Venezuela for
First Instsllment.

Berlin, Feb. 24.-The German for
eign office attaches no importance to
the request made of Mr.. Bowen by
Herr Baltazzi, the former German
charge d'affaires at Caracas, for the
immediate payment of $500, forming
the first installment of the sum to be
paid to Germany by Venezuela, but
which is not due until March Is. For
eign Secretary Won Richthoffen sent
no such instructions to Ambassador
Won Sternberg and it is assumed that
there has been a misunderstanding in
the matter. The foreign office does not
doubt that Venezuela will strictly
carry out the terms of the protocol.
