Unions Encourage EnHsting
(BY H. S. H.

~REAT is the change which has come In the labor
union attitude toward the army, and especially to-
- ward the national guard since the war began. The
feeling used to be of hostility in greater or less de-
gree depending how recently troops had been used
guard property against the violence which sometimes
accompanies strikes It but natural that the labor
unonists felt the national guard used to break strikes
deprving workers of the rights they believed they could
have had there been military interference 1t was
hard to get union into uniform for that reason,
and the whole attitude of organized labor at least
COOL if not hostile, to soldiers.
The only instance which to mind of good
feeling between national guard troops and strikers
that of the mine strike of 1915 in the CiftonMorenc
district of Arizona when the Arizona national guard bat
talon commanded by Maj H. H Donkersley of Yuma gave
the miners understand the troops would tolerate
violence but did not intend to stkebreakers in
any sense The guardsmen and the miners fraternzed
as long as the strike lasted the guardsmen and the
company officials also frateTnized
This was an exception to the rule, however, in the
relations between union men and the military. The
ing of the and the need for defence of this nations
principles has put the soldiers of the United States in
entirely different light, in the view of organized labor
and there no better supporters of recruiting than union
men
For instance, in New Mexico, the Central Labor union
of Albuquerque, representing the unions Of the city,
doing good work In encouraging enstments IN the New
Mexico national guard number of union members have
enlisted and the of others have joined the coors
As further proof of loyalty the unions paying the
union dues of any member who ensts for the countrys
defence That is proof of the right kind of spirit 1t is
the kind of spirit that u1cu all the country
are displaying in this critical time

for FL PasO to vote a bond issue for
that purpose.
II needs no argument to convince
practically everyone that pave d
streets are as necessary to the ma
teriaI prosperity and comfort Of our
people as is the air We breathe. There
are several streets whose citizens
have indicated their willingness and
desire to have the streets paved. by
executing contracts TO that effect. and
many OF these streets have been
signed up for many, many months
and also many OF the streets which
are signed up for paving are in hOr-
rible state of repair, and are almost
impossible.
we have a Taxpayers league whose
existence is for the purpose of keep
ing down taxes and It is my under
standing that the league or some OF
the members Of the league have sent
protests TO the city council against
the voting of a bond issue for the pur-
pose of the city paying for the paw
ing at the intersections of streets.
I can hardly understand their posi-
ton in the mater, and II is my in
formation that those who have voiced

taxes are large. and whose principal
properties are located upon streets in
the city Of FL Paso. which are already
paved. and, Of course. it is needless
to add that the intersections on their
property were paved by the city OF
Ell Paso, and now that they have
reaped the benefit OF the policy which
has heretofore existed in the city OF
FL Paso, they desire that policy
changed. and that the property own

sections as we'll

that the bond issue be voted as early
as possible. so that this kind of i'm
