MORE LABOR
NEEDED HERE
Opportunity at the Aviation
Station for Every
Class of Work.

A shortage of labor is embarrass-
ing work at the aviation yard.
About 400 are now employed there,
ranging from laborers at $1.52 to
skilled mechanics at $500 day; but
more in all classes are needed, es-
pecially machinists and ship filters
This labor is not needed for the
new work planned for the yard, fol
all that will be done by contract, but
for the routine work of the yard re-
pairing, cleaning up, road making
shop work, and overhauling airplanes
1t is stated that on the solution Of
the labor problem depends whether {
big yard can be developed here.
The long trolley trip to and from
the yard is mentioned as possible
cause for the difficulty in getting la
Dor, and it is not improbable tina
some provision will be made to es
tablish quarters nearby the yard
either by government operation, o
private enterprise.
But whether or not this is tn,
case, there's plenty of work in Pen
sacola, and the only thing the gov
eminent expects is that the men b.
sound physically, and that they b.
/ capable.

By AssocIATEp PRESS.

Washington, Dec. Denomination
of the conference of the Mexican
American commission without regard
to question of withdrawing of Per-
shing is proposed by Carranza in his
message refusing to ratify the Allan
tic City protocol. With this sugges-
ton, however, is a new appeal for the
withdrawal of Pershing and the as
sertion that such action will permit
an adjustment of all remaining ques-

Indications are tonight the Ameri-

comply with a request for further
conferences on the ground the United
States has nothing to lose. It il
officially stated nothing has taker
place to alter the administration,
policy.
1t is generally understood as Ions

ably be forfeited to the city, according
to an announcement by the city COM

agreement.
The commissioners will make a
trip to the proposed railway site
some time today. 1t has been Off
cially brought to their attention that
the company has utterly failed to
live up to the franchise requirements,
and the commissioners hold that this
is sufficient ground FOR the forfeit

their desire to personally look into
the question at once.
Among other things the company
guaranteed, was to construct GER
