plant hat houses are difficult to
obtain in every part Of New Mexico.
IL has been admitted for many
months that more houses must be
built. In many localities commercial
clubs and other organizations have
done their best to get construction
Of houses started on a RESPECTABLE
scale. But so far the results have
not been satisfactory. Houses for
rent are still much in demand.
This i. a serious matter as the
lack of houses will keep many peo-
pie from locating in the state. This
is more serious than ordinarily as

SHORTER WORKING HOURS

The American Federation Of Labor
in session in Atlantic City has
pledged itself to obtain a general
forty-four hour week for workers
in all crafts throughout the United
States and also for government en-
ployes. The reason given is that this
10 a reliable means to prevent IN
employment which is said to be the
cause of the present unrest. Manu-
~facturers and employers were ask
ed TO Bridge the gap and increase
wages without any controversy.
In spite of the fact that industry
and business is TO a great extent
marking time at present, awaiting
a more favorable turn in the affairs
of the country, Employment has
not become as serious as at one time
predicted. There is really a serious
shortage Of help in the winter wheat
belt 10 ave the bumper crops that
are nov being harvested. Even in
New Mexico the labor shortage is
acute to harvest crops Of many kinds.
Bot il is not alone the farming in
dustry that suffers on account OF
labor shortage. 1t extends into many
lines Of skilled labor. 1t really would
appear that here is plenty to do
for every one that cares to work.
The call for shorter working hours
at this time does not, Therefore,
seem timely 1t must also be keot
in mind that the shorter the work
ing hours, the higher in proportion
the wages must be that labor may
subsist. This again is reflected IN
higher cost Of production and there
fore a higher cost of everything to
the consumer. 50 in the end even
the workers at higher wages have
gained nothing financially.
1t is perfectly just that working
conditions and wages should be fair.
But il must be not lost sight of that
the prosperity Of the country de-
ponds on a proper relation OF all
factors Of production. We are pass
ing a serious period Of reoonstruc-
ton. Shall this be passed without
s%eriou, disturbance, it will require
cooperation of every producing
agency in the nation. Labor is one
of the essential agencies in all pro-
duetion and its attitude at this time
will either hamper or further the
progress Of reoonstruotion.

WELCOME.

The Nenana News welcomes the visitors from Fairbanks on behalf of the people of Nenana, and hopes their stay in Nenana will be plea- sant one. It is the spirit of Nenana to encourage closer business, social and athletic relations between the residents of the two towns, and the presence in Nenana today and to- morrow of a considerable number of visitors from the neighboring town will be made the occasion of a special effort to make the visit worth while to those who put them selves to no small inconvenience and expense to make the voyage down the river.
 The town has been thrown wide open for the full enjoyment of Ne nana's guests, who will find wei come awaiting them on every side, with every resident of Nenana ready and eager to do his share in making the stay of the towns guests an en- joyable one. That is the spirit in which Nenana welcomes Fairbanks, and later in the season the people of Nenana will give a further evidence of their friendliness by arranging a similar excursion to Fairbanks.
 So make the most of your stay here. Don't be backward. The town is yours for as long as you care to stay here, and it will be your own fault if you do not let Nenanaites make your visit a plea sant one.

They will be located on the sea- board, in New Jersey, and possibly on the same site
 Ground area necessary for the construction of a double hangar will be about one square mile. Each hangar will be about 800 feet long. 250 feet wide, and from 150 to 200 feet high. It is probable that all steel construction will be used, and officials estimate that from six to eight months will be needed for their erection.
 Provision for the purchase abroad of a Zeppelin type airship, at a cost not to exceed s2,500,00o, is made in the naval bill. and the construction in this country of 8 similar machine at a cost of S1,. 500,000. It is probable that the machine purchased abroad will be of the British R-34 model, although larger. It probably will be flown to this country by an American crew, the only other alternative be- ing to attempt to tow it by cables made fast to a ship. Negotiations looking 10 the purchase have already been entered into with foreign na- tions.
 After experiments with the for eign craft, the construction of an improved Amerlcan-built machine will be started.
