Albuquerque, Nov. 2s.-The regu-
1ations of the United States Food
Administration are not automatical-
ly annuIled by the armistice, the
officials of the Federal Food Ad-
ministration for New Mexico an
nounee. There seems to be some
misunderstanding among licensees in
regard to this.
All regulations continue in force
until repealed and will be enforced
strictly while in effect. There has
been no modification of the margins
of profits fixed by the Food Ad-
ministration. Dealers therefore
must observe such regulations care
fully until they have official notice

There is no present intention to
drop restrictions that are intend

Sugar Allowance { Pounds
The household allowance of sugar
will be four pounds per person per
month beginning December lst, the
officials of the Federal Food Ad-

RED CROSS WILL WELCOME
SOLDIERS HOME FROM WAR

1t has been previously announced
that the American Red Cross has
been designated by the War De-
partment as the official welcoming
body for the soldiers now being de-
mobilized at the rate of approxim-
ately five hundred a day from each
camp and cantonment in the coun-
try. This means that nearly fifty
thousand men will be released from
the camps each day and will be
travelling to their homes.
Arrangements are being perfected
by the organizations of the Ameri-
can Red Cross all over the country
to care for the wants of these men
en- route, and to welcome them when
they arrive at destination. The war
Department has made the sugges-
ton, which will be acted upon, that
the Red Cross, through its various
Chapters and Branches, should en-
press the appreciation of the Amer-
can people to the discharged SOL
diers as they journey homeward.
These men temporarily gave up
home, friends, position and every
thing to undertake the rigors and
hardships of training preparatory
to duty overseas on the battlefields,
and it is the intention of the Red
Cross, through its local organizations
everywhere, to appoint welcome
Home" committees, to meet trains
carrying these men to their homes
and give them such a reception as
will make them fee: that the Ameri-
can people appreciate their sacri-
flee.
Local Chambers of Commerce
and other civic organizations are
invited to cooperate to the utmost
with the Red Cross committees, to
make the reception accorded the
boys a real demonstration of the ap-
probation felt by the American peo-
pie.
The Canteen workers of the Red
Cross all over the country are to
be prepared to distribute refresh
ments to the soldiers and to see that
they are provided with every COM
fort.
Cards will be furnished for the reg
istration of these returning soldiers,
to be filled out with the mans full
name. date of discharge. division.
regiment company. rank, branch of
service and home address.
It is the intention, whenever suffi-
cient notice is given to arrange 4

of these returned soldiers and make
them feel to the utmost the interest
of the nation in their welfare.

WILL
SAIL NEXT WEEK
FOR PEACE PARLEy

Washington, Nov. 26-President
Wilson will sail for Europe next
week to attend the opening of a
peace conference and expects to be
back in Washington soon after the
middle of January.
Plans for the presidents trip are
going steadily ahead but beyond the
original announcement that he would
leave Immediately after the conven-
ing of congress on December 2 no
details have been made public. How
ever, it was said today authorita-
lively that the president plans to
be back on American soil within six
weeks after he leaves.
There has been no indication when
the peace conference will assemble
but the general belief here is that
it will convene Immediately after the
Christmas holidays. The president
goes in advance to confer with the
entente statesmen and it is expect
ed the broad outline of the treaty
will be framed beforehand with a
view to its adoption soon after the
conference meets.
The president was understood to
have discussed his trip with men,
bers of his official family at the
regular Tuesday cabinet meeting to-
day.
Reports of censorship of the news
of the peace conference were met
today with the statement that not
only would there be no censorship
but that the American newspaper
correspondents would be given all
facilities for transmitting their dis
patches.
Correspondents sent from this
country will make the trip on a
naval vessel, which will be placed
at their disposal They will leave
next Monday, ahead of the presi-
dent because there is no ship avail
able which can make as fast time as
the steamer on which Mr.. Wilson
and his party will sail.

G0MPERS, SAYS HIGH
WAGES and SHORT
HOURS MUST GO ON
TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE
MARKETS MUST BE PRO.
TECTED AND RAPID MA
CHINE PRODUCTION MUST
CUT COST OF GOODS

The declaration by Samuel Comp
ers that organized labor will resist
to the uttermost any attmpt to re-
duce wartime wages or lengthen
hours of labor is one that will be
read with interest by all the peo-
pie Of the country, as also will any
statement he has to make as to the
means by which the present high
wages and short hours are to be
maintained. To the extent that
maintenance of high standards of
wages and of conditions of labor are
possible, Mr.. Gompers will have the
cooperation of the Republicans of the
country. The Republican party has
always endeavored to maintain an
economic policy which makes pos
sible the payment of the highest
wages, and the observance of
shortest hours, and we believe the
records will show that in time Of
peace American labor has been bet
ter paid under Republican policies
than under those imposed by the
Democratic party. 1t is perhaps true
that, on an average, hours of labor
have been shortest under Demo-
cratic administration, for in 1898 and
l9l3-l4 millions of American work.
ing men found their hours of labor
cut to nothing at all.
Having made his declaration re-
garding continued high wages and
short hours, Mr.. Gompers should
explain specifically how he expects
to secure and preserve market for
the product of high wages and short
hours in competition with the pro-
duct of low wages and long hours
from Europe and Asia. Republicans
hope to maintain the home market
for American producers. They hope
that we shall be able to sell our
surplus in the markets we hayc gain
ed during the war. We hope to ac-
this through protective
tariff which will build up our home
production to such high quantta-
tive basis that our unit cost of
production will be low, thus enabling
us to sell the surplus in competition
with all the rest of the world That
is a specific statement OF the me-
thods by which Republicans would
high wages and short
hours for American labor. Now will
Mr.. Gompcrs state specifically his
plan for enabling American labor
to market its products in competi-
ton with the rest of the world, for
we must have a market for our pro-
ducts or we can have no satisfactory
standard of wages and conditions
Of labor.

PAY TEACHERS FOR TIME
LOST DURING INFLUENZA

State superintendent of public in
struction J. H Wagner in a let
ter to B. S. Locke treasurer of the
school board at Springer. strongly
recommends full payment of teach
ers for the time in which school
has been closed on account of in
fluenza amounting to from six to
eight weeks. The law provided that
teachers shall be paid for four weeks
of time lost due to unavailable
causes, and Mr. Wagner recommends
hat school boards 60 further and
allow pay for all lost time, especial
ly in view of the fact that many
teachers have put in the time of their
enforced vacations acting as nurses
in stricken communities or giving
their time to the Red Cross. The
superintendent recommends however
that part time on legal holidays and
saturdays can be given by the teach
ers to make up work.
