Adjutant General Encourages
Miners going back to work in the
Gallup district are increasing daily.
Adjutant General James Baca re-
ported to Governor Larrazolo upon
his return from the Carlo City. He
left after the cavalry guard from
Fort Bliss, Texas, had established
camp in the fair grounds and begun
the duty of patrolling the town and
mines. The town was quiet at the
time of his departure and there was
no indication that any disorder was
likely to break out, Governor LARA
zolo was confident that none would
after the arrival of the soldiers.
Further news of the increase in
the number of miners going back to
work came in a telegram from Horace
Moses, manager of the Gallup-Amer.
ican mine, received by Governor La.
rrazolo after General Baca's arrival
in Santa Fe.. The message said there
were twenty-five more men at work
than there were Tues.
day. He said this would increase
the production 100 tons a day.
General Baca's work at Gallup was
praised by Mr.. Moses. He attribut.
ed the increase in men at work to
the adjutant generals address at the
mass meeting held in Gallup Tuesday
night. The adjutant central spoke
to 400.
Reports from Madrid are to the ef
feet that everything is quiet and
that the miners are all at work, The
Clark mine is working as usual,
though reports were in circulation
that it had shut down. At Carthage
in Socorro county coal mining is
progressing much as usual.
On the whole the situation in New
Mexico is promising. More men arc
returning from day to day. The
wise action of Governor Larrazolo
to provide adequate protection be.
fore the riot stage in the strike
came, will soon bring normal condi
tions in all the coal fields.
Governor Larrazolo said TO the
State Record yesterday that he was
FULLY determined to protect the pub
lie. He admits that he has received
letters criticizing his action IN order
ing troops to Gallup and Ration, bnt
that the action was we'll considered
and he is willing to take the conse-
luences. Otherwise the governor has
received very general endorsement of
MS action to maintain law and order
md insisting on the operation of
he coal mines. So far the coal silva
ion in the state is not serious. The
governor is keeping in close touch with
Ill phases of the situation and hopes
o prevent any serious suffering for
ack of fuel.
