Fl Paso, Tex, March 22-The Chi huahua garrison of 200O men under Gen. Luis Herrera, has ren0lnced Car rarzs. and has taken the field with General Villa against the American troop.
 Rrmors e hostility toward American soldiers and of failure on the part of CarranZa soldiers to cooperate In the bandit hunt are confirmed in a relia- bln report brought to the border to- night that the Chihuahua Carranza- army has actually joined the bandits against the army of Gen.

It is reported that General Herrera, who was tlie Carranze governor of Chihua- hua. was removed from office Monday and that he easily persuaded his gar rison to follow him into the Villa camp.
 l Chat Carranza has enough loyal t~oonss in northern Mexico to drive Herrera from the city of Chihuahua, if he attempts to hold the place. is be- lieved by military men here, but it is feared that retention of Chihuahua will no. be his plan.
 Military observers see possible connection with his plan in the inter ruption e wire service between Cas- as GranGes and Juarez yesterday and the wire cutting today between Tor reon and Ojinaga, opposite Pres!dlo Tex.

Of Cancellation, have forwarded the
State Executive a list of gains made by
5000 employees i'll the Clifton Morenci-

LABOR LAW APPLIES TO ALL

Boston, Mass.-Thc Supreme Courts
decision in the case Of Madden VS..
Whitall factory company is a most i'm
portant ruling, as it is held that the
compensation law of Massachusetts is
not intended to take into account the
previous physical condition Of applicants
for benefits under the act.
lIOnora Madden was employed at the
Whitall carpet factory, Worcester. While
pulling a carpet she injured herself and
the State Industrial Accident Board
awarded her S225.25. The company.
through casualty concern, disputed
this order on the ground that the wom-
an had heart trouble.
In denying the company's claim, the
court said there is nothing in the law
about protection being confined solely to
healthy employees. and that the previous
condition of health is of no consequence
in determining the amount Of relief to
be afforded.
In answer to the company's claim
that grave economic consequences of
iar-rcaching effect may follow from the
act as thus construed, the court said
"Ihc considerations are Of great pub
lie moment. But these factors relate Ia
legislative questions and the arguments
founded ON them are distinctly lcpisla-
tive arguments. They may be entitled
to attention and dclibcration at the
bands OF the legislative department OF

There Are Fewer Trade Schools in the United States

Only trained intelligence can conserve
