TAYLOR ON NEW JOB
Herald Man Took Over Employment
Bureau First Of Week

L. @. Taylor, former FL Paso Herald
representative here, who was appoint
ed head Of the Deming branch Of the
federal employment bureau, began his
new duties last Monday at the cham
Der of commerce, which continues to
be the headquarters for the employ
ment bureau, pending the arrival Of
d. A. Macpherson from Albuquerque
to establish the bureau in its new
home at 10 s. Silver avenue, Mr..
Macpherson is expected to arrive to-
day.
Mr.. Taylor is taking care Of all the
work Of the bureau at present. When
he is established in his new quarters
he will have stenographer to at
tend to most Of the detail Of CORES
pondence and will put in considerable
Of his own time outside the office,
quite bit Of it outside the county in
all likelihood, as he has four counties
to cover. This is the stage to which
the Deming bureau has developed in
the three short months since its in
ception, when Forbes Parkhill assum-
ed its management as an auxiliary to
his work as secretary of the chamber
of commerce. For attending to this
Job, which Of late has reached such
proportion to threaten to make the
chamber Of commerce work the auxil-
larry, Mr.. Parkhill has a quarter Of
dollar, twenty-five cents in United
States money coming to him, il he
will take il, his salary having been
81 per year. Only last week the
bureau placed 450 laborers at the dis
posal Of the ]. W. Thompson company
at Camp Cody, and not one Of these
laborers was drawn from a place
where his departure will in any way
delay or injure any department Of war
work. That is the sort Of thing the
federal employment service is sup
posed to do and which it is doing.
Any one who had proposed last
year that the recruiting of our armies
be left to the states and the towns and
cities within them, and that all Of
ficers be permitted to 60 throughout
the country recruiting their own COM
panies, regiments and divisions-tak-
ing them from other military units
if they could, would have ben consid-
cred insane Yet this was the situa-
ton in industry when America turn
ed from peace to a war footing.
Because the war department CEN
tralized at the outset military recruit
ing, we have several millions of men
under arms to-day and hundreds Of
thousands in Europe on the firing
line And now we are bringing order
out Of a chaotic industrial situation,
because the mobilization and distribu-
ton of labor has been similarly cen
tralized through the United States
employment service of the depart
ment Of labor.

Santa Fe, Aug. 7.-Alleging that
her legs were "frightfully roasted"

A. B. SMITH, EAILBREAKER,
MUST DIE ON GALLONS
Governor Refuses to Interfere With
Sentence Of STAIRS Accomplish
in Stevens Murder

For the part he took in the battle
between a band Of escaped prisoners
from the Luna county Jail and a posse
of officers two years ago, in which
Sheriff Dwight Stevens of this coun-
ty was shot to death by Jesse Starr,
A. B. Smith, will have to pay with his
life. That is now certain, after many
efforts by his attorneys to save him
from the gallows. Smith was a men,
Der Of the gang of iailbreakers. The
date set for his death is August 18th,
and Governor Lindsey has declined to
interfere in any way with the execu-
ton Of the sentence unless it be
shown before that date that Smith
is actually insane.
Jesse Starr, generally recognized
as the leader of the jailbreakers, is
under sentence to die August 23d,
having been granite da months re-
prieve from the original date, July
23d

is shown in his letter last Monday to

6. I. Bad Back from K. c

c. L, Belts returned Friday from
Kansas City, where he spent three
iaOnths under the care Of a specialist
in skin affections. The treatment
was sufficiently rigorous to keep
him on the sick list for some time
while there, but seems to have been
effective and his general health is
somewhat improved. Two things prin-
1ipally seem to have impressed Mr..
Belts on his trip. One was the in
suiferable heat in Kansas City, after
a week Of freezing just after he ar
rived there early in April; the other
was the Kansas wheat crop. He
crossed the state from end TO end,
first in April when the wheat lay
like blue carpet upon the land, and
again last week when it stood in
shocks as far as the eye could see,
for hundreds Of miles, waiting for the
thresher. II the whole world beside
should fall down on It's wheat crop

feed the allied nations alone and I'M

CLOSED TWO BAKERIES
N. Martinez and Juan ROmera Ar.
rested for Violating Food Laws


Two local bakers felt the heavy
hand of the food administration last
Saturday and a. a result are under
arrest and out Of business, temper
arily at least. They are N. Martinez,
whose place was at Second Nickel,
and Juan Romera, Codyville.
Martinez, according to County
Food Administrator Fred Sherman,
had been purchasing -four from one Of
the stores in Deming for a grocery
ne was operating and using the flour
in his bakery; also retailing flour
without a substitute and profiteering
on the sale Of the same. He was
cited to appear at Albuquerque on
the 9th to show why he should not
be punished for his violations The
flour found at his place was taken
from him.
Romera's offense consisted in the
purchase Of flour from a local grocer
in the quantity and proportions for
licensed bakers. He was using $50
pounds of flour per day, when the
food officials swooped down upon
MIN and closed his place.
Neither Martinez nor Romera had
Federal license as required by law,
and neither of the grocers from whom
they were buying had authority to
make the sales to them; hence all
were required to report at Albuquer-
que.

In the readjustments incident to
the change of industries from a war
to peace basis, the principle of
equal pay for equal work, inforced by
the Department of Labor wherever it
had power to dictatee, will have a
widespread influence, according to
economists. In his report just issued
the Secretary outlines the policy pur.
sued by he War Labor GARD as fol-
lows:
'The rights Of women in industry
have been rigidly protected by the
War Labor Board with respect to
questions Of wages, heath and gener
al welfare. In all cases where WON
