NEARLY A THOUSAND
READY FOR GlJARD

Reports in the office of the adtl.
tant general today show a total of TAO
recruits in the Nhsw Mexico regiment
of infantry, and 1t is stated that there
are fully 300 would-be recruits at va
|rious points awaiting physical e*xaml,
nation by National guard physicians.
1t is now believed probable that the
regiment will be recruited to a
strength Of 100 men per company
within the next two weeks.
The progress of recruiting for the
National guard has been so encour.
aging of late that it is now practically
certain that the proposed proclama-
tion for drafting of men for the guard
will not be issued by Governor Lind
sey. If the guard is not at required
strength when f~ederalized, the gov
eminent will fill its ranks with men
drafted in this state from the enroll
ment on June 5.
A telegram from the war depart
ment refuses permission to the state
to draft for the guard from the fed
eral enrolment on June 5, probably
because of the plan to fill all new
army units, the federalized guard as
we'll as others, from the men drafted
on that date.

.RA|LROADMEN CAN
HELP BY SPEEDING
UP THE F00OSTUFFS
HUGH WILLIAMS POINTS OUT oP-
PoRTUNITY FOR PATRIOTISM
IN TRANSPORTATION DEPART
MENT.

Men in the transportation depart
ments of railroads can do their "bit"
at the present time by speeding up
shipments of foodstuffs, in the opinion
Of Hugh Williams, chairman of the
formerly for years in railroad service.
aside from men enlisted" he said
today, there is possibly no single
class that will be called upon to rend-
er a greater service to the nation than
the men i n thetransportation depart
ments of railroads. There are theus-
ands of ways in which conductors can
be of special service to this govern
ment at the present time.
in looking over the correspondence
from all parts of the country, we find
that in some instances there is a sur
plus of cereals and a surplus Of pota-
toes, if they could only be moved to
the point where there is a demand for
them, but owing to a shortage of en-
gines, and sometimes, it seems to me,
through the negligence of those in cor
troll of the motive powers of our trans
continental lines, these shipments are
delayed. 1t is true of course, that a
large number of Jars are tied up in
the eastern yards loaded with foreign
shipments, also owing to the embargo,
in much of this stuff, they are hold
ing rolling stock in the Atlantic ports
that should be in service distributing
foodstuffs to the people of the middle
states. However, local conditions are
the same as they have always have
been. There is always a way in which
a freight conductor can be of service
to a local shipper if he will just scheme
a little and try to help out. There is
usually an empty somewhere along
the line, or a car only half loaded in
a local freight train that, with a little
extra work on the part. of the crew,
could be- turned into an empty and
sidetracked to help some fellow get
rid of a lot of stuff that he wants to
sell and that thousands of other peo-
pie want to buy"

Wage Increase Given
Miners at Kelly

Socorro, N. M, May 22.-Assurine
a continuance of the friendly rels.
lions that have always existed be-
tween the employers and employees OF
the mines at Kelly, a wage increase
has been granted the workmen, to
take effect June /.
The increase is approximately rs
per cent on the wages being paid al
present, and there is general salts
faction as a result. The present high
cost of living prompted the workmen
to ask for an increase and influenced
the mine operators to grant what
seemed to them to be a just demand
under the present living conditions.
Superintendent P. H. Argall, acting
for the mine operators, and Justice
Ricarte, for the workmen, carried on
the negotiations. A public reception
will be rendered Mr.. Argall az an
early date by the people of Kelly as
a mark of appreciation and good will.

Washington, May 23.-Despite many
legal exemptions and transfer of men

better than holding their own in re-

New York had 1852 men in active

of men had been discharged. Oregon
reported no change at 1868 during the

decrease was in Hawaii, where only
1887 men remained on the rolls out of
