How long the killing and looting by IN

asked. when his attention was directed
to Zapata and other rebel leaders who
are reported as carrying on revolutionary
movements of their own.
There is only one revolutionary move

mitting the so-called independent bands
to fight because they are helping our
cause. Anything which einbarrasses the
usurper Huerta helps us. But when once
we triumph. there will be no excuse for
any more fighting. All factions will be
conciliated. If any bandits remain We
will quickly exterminate them. This
revolution is so broad l do not look for
any opposition to the government OF
which Gen. Carranza probably will be the
head. No one hopes for permanent peace
more than the rebels do
Gen. Villa made no comment on advices
from Washington that the administration
was considering lifting the embargo
against shipments of arms to the rebels
except to say that his army was well
supplied with captured arms and ammu-

FOR CLERKS
ONE PLAN Of UNIONS
Official Opposition to Organizing of
United States Employees Is
Not Expected.

Retirement and pensioning of SUPER
animated government employees Is to be
one OF the principal objects of the pro-
jected unions about to be formed as
branches of the American Federation of
Labor, according to Information given
out today by men connected with the
movement.
The question of beginning the unioniz-
ing of government employees in the Dis
trict is to be taken up at meeting of
the Washington Central Labor Union
next Monday night. 1t has already been
definitely decided to form the unions. but
A mass of detail remains to be worked
out
Opposition Not Expected.
Following the meeting Of the Central
Labor Union, a meeting of the executive
committee is to be held, when the plans
will be thoroughly gone over and the
work of organizing discussed 1t has
been decided to make the movement as
comprehensive as possible.
John B. Colpoys. secretary of the Cen
trail Labor Union, said today that no op-
position to the plan is expected from
government officials when all the details
hecome known. He declared that the
unions will seek to help both the gov
ernment and the government employees.
No Pension Plan Adopted.
No consideration has been given as yet
to the question of what form of civil
service pensions is best. The so-called
straight" and "contributory" plans. both
of which have their supporters among
existing organizations of government en-
ployes. have not been discussed.
Officers of the Central Labor Union
hope to be able to combine all govern
ment employees on some fair and compre
hensive plan for retiring superannuated
workers for the government and thus sue
ceed in getting legislation in the near
future. They take the stand that this
will help the government, since they be-
lieve that the work of the different de-
partments Is hampered by old employees
who cannot do the work Of younger
people.
