have been received by A. Leversidge
to suspend the shipment of poems and
workmen for the MADEIRA Lumber com
pany at MADEIRA, Chihuahua. Mr.. Lever
sidge was given charge of the construc-
ton work of the company at MADEIRA.
and came to this city to procure 500
men for the work. He had shipped only
one carload when the order for suspen-
sion came The order embraced all
poems who have been engaged here for
the several classes of work.
These workmen are for the most part
former insurrectos and are found to
be not tractable or disposed to work.
Several contractors have visited Tor
reon and Durango during the past
six weeks for the purpose Of gathering
two or three thousand poems, but have
met with difficulties not encountered
heretofore. One contractor said: Il was
authorized by my company TO pay three
pesos per day. The poems demanded
three dollars American money. for
service in Mexico on the grounds that
now that the revolution had triumphed
all workmen were to be paid in gold.

men in Durango, but upon investiga-
tion learned that this same gang had

CITY MAY REMOVE
FORT BLISS HOME
Is Blocking City Street at
Old Fort-Sewers Are
Damaged.

At the meeting of the city council
Thursday morning, city attorney W. NJ
Coldwell called the attention of the
council to the fact that the Foster
building. which had been ordered re-
moved from the public thoroughfare at
old Fort Bliss, was still standing in its
original position. He said that he had
been informed that the attorneys fof
the defendants would make q test case
OF this matter, and that while under the
law the city officials could go ahead
and move the building at once. he had
given the defendants attorneys a con-
siderable extension in order to allow
them to take legal steps, but as they
had not done so. he thought the coun-
Gil should take some action in view of
the fact that the building was block
ing a public street and was also delay
ing the work on the new viaduct.
Alderman Clayton recommended that
the parties interested be given five
days more iniwhich to either move the
building or take legal action, and that
If it had not been attended to by July
Is that the city go ahead and have it
removed, which was ordered done.
Alderman Blumenthal recommended
who removed the covers of manholes
