The United Mine Workers Meet in
Ccnvention-Sentim in Favor
of Continuing Strike.

Trinidad, Colorado, March 24-The
delegates convention of district 15,
United Mine Workers of America met
at 10 this morning with the permission
of Major Hill. Over hundred dele
gates were present when the conven-
ton was called to order. A commit
tee on credentials was appointed and
the meeting adjourned until the after
noon.
Mother Jones states that had the
militia not been called, she believed
the delegates were disposed to modify
their demands but SO far as she could
see now, their disposition would be to
continue the strike on the present
basis. Charles Demolli, probably the
most influential of the Italians, says
the general sentiment will be to con-
tinue the strike without retreating
from the original position of the union.

nor Peabody Declared Martial
Law to Annul Injunctions.

Denver, March Ex-Governor Pea.
body announced at noon today that he
would send 275 more men to Telluride
this afternoon. "The miners may re.
turn if they behave themselves" he
said. Assertions are made by union
men that the Governor put Telluride
under martial law again to prevent
the injunction issued against the citi-
zens of that town from becoming oper-
ative. This move was anticipated by
the Western Federation and an appeal
for federal aid will be made. An appli-
cation for federal troops has been
made twice in the past year, once by
the Governor and once by the labor
unions In both instances the requests
were denied. The union men think
that the circumstances have so chang
ed that the demand on the President
will be favorably considered.

MORE LABOR TROUBLES.
A Closed Shop May Be Called in Stock
Yards With Alternative of
General Strike.

Chicago, March PA closed shop
may be demanded in the stock yards
with the alternative of general
strike. Notices have been served on
one packing firm that unless it aban-
dons it's efforts to disrupt, closed
shop would be called for, and $4,000
union men in the yards would enforce
the demand. Complaints have been
made to the officials of the packing
trades council that several packers
have hired men to create discomfort
among the unionists. Michael Donne-
ly, president of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen,
investigated and said that he found
the complaints well founded. The
unions in the stock yards recently
formed close alliance and some of
the organizations are said to have
been preparing all winter for the fight.
The present agreement in the stock
yards ie verbal, but the wages and
hours are fixed annually by commit
tee representing the packers and men.

STRONGLY OPPOSED TO
JOINT STATEHOOD
Are the People Of Union County-So
Says Christian Otto County
Commissioner.

Christian Otto of Clayton, county
commissioner of Union County, and
one of the leading sheep growers of
that section, who was delegate to
the Republican convention at Las We
gas says that statehood sentiment is
not strong in his part of New Mexico
anyway, and the proposition to merge
New Mexico and Arizona certainly
finds very little support. The people
consider the proposition impractical
BILE, undesirable and unprecedented.
They have no use for the trimmers,
who have expressed the absurd idea
that the Republicans in Congress and
President Roosevelt would be angry
should New Mexico Republicans, like
those of Oklahoma and Arizona, ex
press their wishes and views unequiv
ocally. They believe that the Presi
dent would rather admire courageous
expression of sentiment. Nor is ii
quite plausible to the Union County
people why New Mexico should sacri.
flee it's autonomy, it's separate exist.
ence as a commonwealth, it's distinc'
tive status, simply because Albuquer.
que is in hurry to become state
capital, for they see that the force in
New Mexico beneath the entire joint
statehood movement consists of few
property owners and boomers in the
Duke City Mr.. Otto says that stock
has wintered exceptionally well in
Union County but that now rain is i'm.
peratively needed to assure a good
lamb and calf crop. Union County is
enjoying quiet prosperity and is get
ting into excellent shape since Travel
ing Auditor Charles V. Stafford has TAX
en- hand in Strengthening out tangles
in the county's bookkeeping and Mr..
Otto is very emphatic in expressing
his approval of the valuable services
of Mr.. Stafford.

Acknowledgement Brodie Thinks
Single Statehood viii Come.

The following letter from Governor
Alexander o. Brodie of Arizona under
date of March 19, to the editor OF the
New Mexican is timely and interesting
reading:
Replying to your favor of March
II, have to thank you for copies of
the New Mexican forwarded to me
here containing articles on the state
hood question, and have been deeply
interested in these articles and in the
action that would be taken by the peo-
pie of New Mexico on the proposed leg
islation to make state of our two ter
ritories.
"The people of Arizona regardless
of party affiliations or creed are dis
tinctly and unalterably opposed to
statehood under such circumstances,
and believe if the matter were allowed
to drop at this time that within very
few years separate statehood would be
given to the two territories.
Thanking you for your courtesy.
Yours Sincerely.

ing offered in all parts of the country.
Already 100000 has been subscribed.
Not until $5OO,0OO has been subscrib-

EDDY. COUNTY
IS SOLID AGAINST
Joint Statehood-Condition Prosper
Gus and County Increasing in
Population and Wealth.

l.. O. Fullen, postmaster at Carls-
bad and editor of the Carlsbad Argus,
who attended last Saturdays conven-
ton as a delegate from Eddy County,
reports that his part of New Mexico Is
almost solid against the joint state
hood proposition. He says that While
the drouth was as severe in Eddy
County as it has been in other parts
of the Territory, yet the big reservoirs
of Lake Avalon and Lake Mcmillan
are filled to the brim and there will
be no lack of irrigation water. The
Pecos is still a good sized stream as
it flows by the town. The new power
draw at Carlsbad is completed and IN
consequence, the electric light works
give much better service than hereto
fore. A considerable acreage is being
put in cotton in Eddy County. Tne
peach trees are in leaf and the peacn
crop this year will be unprecedented.
