Senator Fall Attacks the
Attitude of the President
Toward Mexican Situation

''never called from the department
even a protest, and | know it was
presented there and an appeal of the
action made," said the senator
In this way the senator went from
one case to another, showing that
these Americans were brutally killed
or wounded while either defending
women ii q children or attempting to
protect their property.
One of the most horrible cases sub
mitted was that of the killing of
Frank Ward, an American, and the
attack on his wife. Senator Fall said
there was on file in the American en-
bassy at Mexico City an affidavit by
Mrs. Ward that when her husband was
shot and was writhing in the pain Of
his horrible wounds on the floor, she
was assailed by Mexican bandits, who
then killed her husband.
HAS any attempt been made t,
secure the punishment of those guilty
of this crime ?" asked the senator.
"Not that we have been able to dis
cover"
Huerta. Senator Fall said, was im-
possible rs president.
"He is a murderer, yes; but if he
does i, he does it on big scale. He
does not kill like Villa, merely to see
his victim squirm. He at least leaves
it to his underlings.
"While we have refused recogn-
tion of Huerta, we have had a special
representative at. the court of Villa
for months in the person of Georg,.
Carothers, who has publicly said that
he will do all he can for the state
department, so long as it does not in
terfere with his own business. Nh.
rion Letcher, our consul. has been ig-
nored until recently when there are
signs that the department is again
calling upon him.
"Villa's character is well known
throughout Mexico and along the
/ American border He is known as
common, ignorant, brutal murderer
, for hire, now being denounced in tie
ihe public press and by certain Of
fetal quarters"
Into the records Senator Fall read
a letter from Emeterio de La Cara,
former agent of Huerta, that WAS
received by him only yesterday. Criti-
cizing the administration of President
Wilson, this Mexican, who is a distin-
rushed lawyer, says:
"Those who now rule in Mexico,
both at the Aztecan capital and that
of the revolution, are by their bloody
hands a legion of infuriated demon:
Tho are courting failure,
an expounding his Mexican policy
President Wilson made a serious mi;-
axe from the outset, bad beginning,
incredible indeed when we know that
he is lawyer, professor and states
man. 1t is hard for him now to ad-
'ance satisfactory explanation o.
his conduct as it is to find a prac-
ical and decorous solution throug;i
which to extricate himself from the
nbroglio woven by his own hands.
"All his uncalled-for desperate anil
mpruden efforts aim unsuccesfful'y
oward the justification of his error;
n impossible feat, however, as he has
,nly succeeded in aggravating still
urther the conflict, jeopardizing hi
'osition and exhibiting the prejudice
With which he has acted in favor Of
me of the warning factions in Mex
CO. In takinr that stand he has

brought upon himself the reproba
tion of both the great ard noble Ame, :
ican people and the governments II
Europe"
Senator Shively, acting chairman Of
the foreign relations committee, made
reply to Senator Falls sensational
arraignment of the administration,
he said he could not reply to the
statements concerning the cases SC
lected by. Senator Fall as he did noj
have the facts, but promised at an
other time to do so fully.
He charged that the speech of the
senator from New Mexico was timed
to publish worldwide whatever facts
he had in his possession. He com
planned because Senator Fall, while
calling attention to the shortcomings
of the administration and the ous-
RACES that had been committed, had
not been able to suggest a single
character in Mexico capable of COM
promising the present difficulties anl
restoring peace.
Senator Shively declared that the
speech of Mr.. Fall was intended to
be an indictment of the state d.
ment and its foreign policy and to
leave the impression that the depart
ment had not protected or attempted
to protect Americans in Mexico. This.
he declared, was a great mistake.

POLITICS AND THE UNION LABEL.

We want t0 have quiet talk with labor I'M
ion men in Greenlee county wage earners VINO are
members of labor organizations here and else
where, working men who carry union card IN
their pocket.
candidate for a state Office arrived in Cliff
ton last week and wanted some cards printed to
hand around among the voters of the district. he
sample of the card handed the local printer bore
the union label of the Phoenix Typographical
union When asked if we could duplicate the card
Ia this Office we replied that could do SO with
the exception of the union label, for the reason
that no printing office in Greenlee county IS
authorized to use the union label owing to the
fact that there is an insufficient number OF print
ers engaged in the printing business in this coun-
Nv to secure Typographical Union charter.
The state candidate stated to the editor OF the
Era that he could not afford to have his cards
printed without the union label appearing upon
them; that he afraid he would
loose the vote of union if he did not have the
union label on his cards; and that he did not nave
time to explain union men that he had the cards
printed in Greenlee County where there was no
printers union.
There have been instances in the county cam
caipn where candidates for county offices have
sent outside of Greenee county for their election
cards in order that the union label might appear
upon them
We want to ask the union labor voters OF this
county falr queStlOn-
Would your vote be influenced in this county,
under the conditions set forth above, in favor OF
candidate whose card bears the union label, as
against the candidate whose cards do not bear the
label?
Union labor men in Greenlee county know
there is no Typographical Union IN Greenlee
county, and the reason why there is no union here
because of the fact that there are not enough
printers here to obtain charter.
Doesn't it strike you, that with these condl-
tons well known, the uaion label card, printed
outside of the county and imported here Tor cleo
tioneering purposes, IS A CHEAP BID FOX
THE UNION MANS VOTE?
Under the circumstances in this county the
union label candidate belittles the intelligence of
the union mans vote.
We ask you-mennbers of labor organizations
in this county-does the sign of the union label IN
this county influence your vote for state or county
officials?

NIT SIMS FOR TREASURER.

t;reenlee County and Clifton especially feels
cen interest in the race of Hon. Nit Sinlms for
e nomination the democratic ticket for state
eas1rer. In the event that the democrats of
,cliee couny pol. fifteen hundred votes in tie
aries we confidently expect to see Nit Siurl,s

:5cia position in old Graham county when : he
as elected County Recorder position ne held
;o three successive terms. His old friends in this

the office of State Treasurer He is thorough
business man and for the past few years has been
a successful rancher in the ella valley. He q
member of the State Constitutional Convention
from Graham county and has wide acquaintance

Graham Greenlee have offered democratic

wHAI rHE wAR,MAY MEAN no US. !.

Never has the natural position OF the United
States appeared more fortunate than at the pres
INT moment, when there is danger OF every Euro
oean power being drawn into the Whirlpool OF war.
We have no direct interest at stake, no question
of honor involved no perilous friendship or hatred
to wreck our Judgment no alliance to pull us into
participation We stand alone, secure in our $50
lation, concerned for reasons of humanity and
rather appreciative of commercial disturbances,
but confident of our ability to remain neutral
spectator and weather such worldwide storms as
the conflict may engender.
Yet so great an upheaval in the old world
cannot fail to have profound consequences here,
and the question uppermost in the mind OF every
thinking American he reads the war bulletins
is this: "How will the struggle affect us, and
hereafter?"
The immediate effect certain to be adj
vantageous. We have bumper crops, the gran
aries of Europe need filling never before, the
crops there are Short and the calling OF peasants
to arms at harvest time leaves grain torot in the
fields. We shall get record prices for our record
agricultural output; that alone means wave of
prosperity and perhaps the return of the gold we
have shipped abroad to fill the war chests.
Furthermore, with the strength of the ma
tons drawn from productive occupations, and the
rapid exhaustion and destruction of supplies and
equipment, shall have unprecedented market
for our manufactured products. America will be-
come a hive of industry, exporting vast volume
|of goods, particularly clothing, steel, arms and
ammunition, at great profit. Labor will be busy
and wages will rise. Europe, too, will offer a
rare field for the investment of free capital at
high rates, for those who to take the risk.
So much for the credit side of the ledger. On
the other hand, the cost of living will go up at
home simultaneously with the increased demand
abroad for our food and factory products. The
rise in prices will come before the rise in wages
and the wages may not catch up until the close Of
the war. That may take year two. And with
the coming of peace will doubtless come entrench
ment abroad by the impoverished powers, the col
lapse of the foreign market for lack of money to
buy, and the sudden termination of grea
business expansion. We might then have Periot
of depression SO long and disastrous to annua
the benefits of the brief boom and leave in
plight than before. -
~ During the period of war-paralysis we shouls
gain big lead over rivals in industry, com
|merce and fanance, and might drive entering
1wedge into the rich trade Of Latin-America, nov
nearly monopolzed by Britain and Germany Ane
after the war might maintain much of that ad
vantage. But war is destruction for. which TIL
whole world pays, and in our stragetic posi-
ton we could not evade paying our share in force5

FIGHT U. S. PRINTING MONOPOLY
Dayton typographical Union Trying tC
Break P. o. Contract.

The Typographical Union OF Dayton,
Ohio. has undertaken a campaign to give
publicity to a great and growing mon
opoly ON the part of the Postoffiee De-
partment in the printing, through pu-
yate contract, of millions of CONNER
cial corner cards on stamped envelopes.
in direct competition with the CONNER
cial job printers of the country.
The practice has grown TO such an ex-
tent that practically all printing OF
stamped envelopes is now done by the
government through private contract
with Wall street corporation having
its plant at Dayton, resulting in al
annual loss of millions of dollars of
business to the printing industry. and
yet netting the government not a single
cent of profit.
The fight against this unfair practice
on the part of the printers is not sell
fish one in any particular. but it is
made solely on principle. No effort is
being made or contemplated toward
"unionizing' the plant having the pres.
cnt contract. The low wages, long
hours, and general sweatshop conditions
that prevail therein effectually preclude
any effort. The aim is to induce tn,
government to male its own plain
STAMPED envelopes, Printing such as are
necessary for. its own use in its own
plant, under the humane provisions of
the federal eight hour law. and to de-
sist forever from printing cards for com.
mercial purposes in competition with the
private printing industry.
