ALAMOGORDO NOT TO

COMPANY FOR BORDER

Alamogordo, n. NJ, May f3.-At

It would he an impossibility to organ
ize a militia company in Alamogordo
Previous to his receipt of a telegram
from Adiutant General Herring, au-
thorizing him to organize a company
for immediate removal to the border
Werner Clayton had the names OF
about fifty men who had signified
their willingness to Join the militia.
After the telegram had been received
bv Mr.. Clayton the number dropped
to about fifteen. Some few men and
boys are anxious and willing TO join
n militia for the purpose of moving
to the border, but there are not
enough of these to make anything like
a company,
MIR. Clayton had the names of Few
men in Tularosa, fourteen miles north
Of Alamogordo, who were willing TO
Join the militia, but even with these
there would not have been enough to
get a fun company. Strenuous efforts
were made by few citizens who were
enthused over the proposition, but
nothing was availed. The band was
engaged 20 play for a meeting OF citi-
zens on the court house lawn, but
after the band had played few
pieces and number of speeches
speeches of patriotism and enthusi-
asIu. were made, the crowd dispersed
and nothing much was accomplished.
A meeting was held at night in the
assembly hall to make a last effort
10 organize q company. This meet
ing was attended largely by women
and children and old men, with very
few men present who were eligible for
military purposes. Some of the young
or boys. who thought that the trip to
the border would be a lark, were dis
suaded from joining by their parents.
some would have joined If circum-
stances would have permitted them
IA be away from home without hurt
ing them financially. A few married
men did not like to enlist on account
of the objections Of their wives.
It was seemingly not on account OF
lack Of patriotism Of the men, but on
account of The many little things
which arise that hinder and keep
them from leaving their homes. Mr.
Clayton has not stated whether or not
he would make another effort to or
ganize a company.

LEGEND OF OLD
NAN Of CANYON
TOLD BY INDIAN
Wizard, Who First Appeared
Before SpaniardS Came,
Advised PuebIoS and Gave
Them Aid,

An rtert sing story has been UNI
earthed TO confirm the legend of the
old man of Tiieras canyon, the story
no doubt being the foundatnon for
the impersonaton which someone is
apparently attempting for purpose
as yet unknown AT least this Is the
assumption Of those who during the
past week have seen the man In ms
strange sarb in the canyon.
one of the oldest Indians at san
Domingo Travelled all the way 10 AL
buuerdue yesterday to explain the
story after having heard that after
many generations the protector of
the Rio Grande valley had again been
seen II was impossible to convince
the Pueblo that the old man Is not
what no seems to be. He held stout
lv Ca the opinion that there has again
appeared the wizard who hundreds
of years ago first took mp his abode
in the mountains east Of the valley
ard thereafter for many decades oc-
casFonally appeared TO right the
wrongs Of the Indians, settle differ
ences and in other ways act as the
protector OF the tribes living in the
Rio Grande.
known rs Sa-Id-Nas.
According to the Indians story, the
legend has been handed down for at
least three hundred years the first
appearance of the wizard dating be-
fore the Spanish occupation. He was
called the Wizard of Sa-ld-Nas ana
was revere need by all the tribes IN
the Rio Grande. Whenever there
was strife among the tribes he came
down our of the mountains to ADJUST
them, Whenever there was want. he
found Some means of supplying FOOD.
He eradicated the pests and made the
crops to grow Before the Spanish
occupation, he informed the Indians
of the invasion. and after the Padres
had settled IN the valley, he was their
friend The old man was regarded
as a spirit as no one knew how he
existei. The story Is that he was
ALWAYS old but that he apparently
grew no older The San Domingo IN
dian asserts that even in the life time
of his father, the old wizard was seen
in the northern end of the valley, Ia
though long before that he had ceased
to offer his services because as the
story runs the Indians had at one
time apurned his advice at the bid
ding Of young and hot-headed chief
who a short time later mysteriouslv
disappeared.
II some one is attempting 10 I'M
pelsonate the Wizard Of Sa-id-Nas
at the present time. the impersonator
has certainly secured from the Indi-
ans the story, for the makeup seems
to be perfect The San Domingo IN
dams story Of the wizards appear
uncc as handed down in the tribe and
the description given by those who
have recently seen the apparation in

Interesting phase of the story now has
TO do with what the impersonator ex-
poets to accomplish by his masque-
radiug.

New Orleans Printing Situation
Clearing Up, Says Frank Willard
Denuer Typo Returns After Spending Four Years In
City and Tells Bulletin Readers of Fight Made BY Union
With Publishers OF the Daily Papers There

how near New Orleans is to settle
ment. The remainder is a matter of
diplomacy in unraveling the threads
AT the November meeting of No. IL,
President Hebard resigned tor the pur-
pose of going into business. At the De-
cember meeting that old, tried and true
guard, Fred Alexander, was elected pres
ident. No better man could possibly be
selected to assist Representative Brown
in reclaiming New Orleans. A man well
liked by all, well known by all the pub
fishers, and honest in all his convictions.
When the lockout occurred, little
over year ago, some two hundred mem
bers were on the strike roll; at the pres
ent time there are about one hundred.
Some have been removed by death, some
have sought new fields, and the Ameri
can, the daily paper started by No. IL
and subsequently transferred to ID. C..
O'Malley, has made room for a great
number
"Anent the American: As soon as the
new machinery ordered arrives a revo-
luton in newspaper circles is expected
A four decker Goss web press with color
attachments and several new linotypes,
together with other necessary appliances
for all departments are now expected at
any time. A building on Camp street,
in newspaper row, has been secured and
in the near future the American will
issue therefrom. ID. C. O'Malley, the
publisher, is not quite living up to his
reputation as IA New Orleans publisher.
He has had but three libel suits and
been shot at only once during his two
and one-half months proprietorship-a
very small batting average for him.
New Orleans, to great extent, is n
home town. The rising generation of
printers in that city are all stamped
made in New Orleans" They are of a
class, generally, not afraid OF work, and
rather than leave the ranks of unionism
adapt themselves to circumstances OF
any nature. For instance, one member
works in a pool room, another tends a
cigar stand, two are vnnning jitueys,
four are at the race track. copule OF
others are dealing stud in Clubs" while
still another is working as a barber in
his brothers shop. And it may be said
all are care-free and don't care a con
tinental whether school keeps or not.
'All in all, the situation in New Or
leans may be considered as very promis-
ing. Some little time may be spent in
sparring for an opening, but once the
diplomatic fight starts in earnest it
promises to be short one.
Without doubt the near future will
again see the bright star of No. II shin
ing in the firmament of unionism with
all its past and glorious brilliancy."

CHEAP LABOR WASTES HUMAN LIFE
By SAMUEL GOMPERS in the American Federationist

importance to any nation is the protec-
tion and the development of its people.
A nation will stand or fall as the citi-
zenship develops or deteriorates.
The material things of civilization are
intended for the service of human beings
All power and policies of protection
ought to be in accord with the ideals
which protect the human at any sacrifice
To employ cheap labor for municipal
is too high cost to be tolerated by any
community. That saving of public
moneys means an expenditure of unpaid
human productive power. II means un-
er-nourishment, poor clothing, poor
homes. lack of the things that are essen
tial for best intercourse, not only for
the individuals employed, but of all those
dependent upon them. 1t means destruc-
tion and thwarting of human power that
might develop into valuable useful citi-
zens. 1t is brutal waste of human life
in the effort to- save few dollars.
1t is high time that our municipalities
our states and our national government
should set all employers an example of
proper policies OF conservation and n real
understanding of what constitutes low
cost of production.
We can no longer tolerate cheap stand
ards, cheap wages, Cheap workers. un-
less we create cheap people-a cheap
nation. If we want things that are of
value--of service-we must pay what
they are worth.

City Firenen

After a fight which lasted for over ten
years the city fremen Of Pittsburg are
at last in sight of victory for the two
platoon system, says the Iron City
Trades Journal. City council, sitting as
the budget committee, has agreed to the
two platoon system and by motion of
that body it is to go into effect July l..
1916. The committee of the City Fire
mems Protective Association, which has
so successfully handled the proposition,
consisted of Samuel Fink, William Camp
and Frederick Ober.
This committee, after exhausting all
efforts in the city of Pittsburg to have
the two-platoon system put into force,
without results, was finally sent by the
organization to Harrisburg during the
last session of the Legislature to try and
have bill passed making 1t compulsory
for cities of the second class to give the
firemen the two-platoon system. Sena-
tor William j. Burke, n good staunch
member of organized labor, presented the
bill in the Senate, where II was referred
to committee and reported out fayorably
and passed by a vote of 48 to none
against. The bill then went to the House
and after going thru the necessary rou-
tine was reported on favorably by the
committee and passed the House by a
vote of 176 to 2.

LENNON OFFERS PLAN TO
UNITE CLOTHING WORKERS
FATHER OF TAILORS UNION HAS
SOLUTION FOR ALL TROUBLE.
Permanent Conference Committee of In
ternationals Would Meet and Decide
All Disputes of Various Unions.

John b. Lennon, treasurer of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and for many
years secretary treasurer of the Journey
men Tailors Union of America, has once
more submitted an amalgamation plan
for the consideration OF members of the
three international unions of journeymen
tailors. garment workers and ladies' gar
ment workers.
Writing in the official Journal of the
Journeymen Tailors union. Lennon de-
clares that the statements made that he
is opposed to amalgamation are 'delib-
crate and wilful Misrepresentation of
all my actions and writings on the sub
ject. The evidence of my attitude on
this question" he says, lis clearly shown
by the fact that four times, on my rec
ommendation, the question of amalgam-
alton was legally and properly submitted
to the members of the Journeymen Tail
ors Union of America, and by them re-
jected."
For the fifth time Lennon presents
plan which includes the following feat
ures:
The three internationals create per-
manent conference committee to meet at
least four times each year to consider
ways and means to jointly promote the
interests of the interested workers.
That all questions must receive a unan-
imous vote, or, in other words, the rep
resentatives of one union can veto action.
In cities where only one international
has local, this local may admit to
membership persons eligible to either of
the three internationals.
Jurisdiction questions shall be referred
to sub committee which shall ''en-
deayor by persuasive methods to settle
the question"
During strikes or lockouts members of
unions not directly involved shall not
work at affected places.
The conference committee shall have
power to extend the scope OF its duties
after the plan has been ratified by the
three internationals.
Treasurer Lennon submits this plan in
the hope that the discussion will develop
a friendship and understanding necessary
for the formation of one great and pow
erful international union, which would
guarantee to each section of the trade
that self government that would protect
the interests of ALL
