Saw Such a Perfect
Barrage.
IRIsHMEN SAVED THE DAY
Famous New York Infantry Regiment
Did Great Work at Champagne
Took Terrible Toll Of Death
From Enemy.

New York.-Over the rail Of the
hospital transport Sierra as 1t came
In one day recently leaned Roy Davis
of Chicago. He was a soldier of the
One Hundred and Forty-ninth artil-
lery, formerly the First Illinois, In
command of II. j. Reilly. He yelled
down to those on the police boat:
TELL the people Of New York the
old Sixty-ninth "a famous Irish infan-
try regiment In the New York Nation
al Guard, now the One Hundred and
Sixty-ifth, a part of the Rainbow di-
vision) saved the day at the Cham
payne. The people of France are
wildly enthusiastic over the One Hun
dred and Sixty-ffth, and, believe me,
they have reason to be.
I'VE followed the Sixty-ninth up at
the battle of Champagne, laying down
their barrage for them. 1t got hot as
hell behind those boys and then hot
ter and it was just as bad in front.
The Poilus started to go back and
yelled to the One Hundred and Sixty
fifth to turn and follow them.
"'To hell with thatr yelled back
the Sixty-ninth. Were going right
on And, believe me, they went right
on and saved the day.
Exacted Terrible Cost.
1.-THE gray-green uniforms strewed
the ground in front of the Irish posi-
lions. One walked on a carpet of
dead bodies after the attack was
hurled back. The Sixty-ninth was cut
up, but they exacted terrible cost
from the Boche."
1t was of the One Hundred and For
ty-ninth field artillery that a captured
German said:
LET me see those men who are be-
hind those guns. / never saw such a
perfect barrage in all my life."
One of the most popular officers on
the transport was the Rev. Ray F.
Jenney, the fighting chaplain of De-
catur, Ill.,, who had four wound stripes
on his sleeve. When all the officers
of a company in his regiment had been
shot down In the big drive at st. Mi
hiel he led the men on and brought
back a trophy in the shape of a silver
mounted Luger pistol that he took
from a German commander when his
company smashed up a machine gun.
Bear Distinguishes Himself.
Among those wearing the Croix de
Guerre was Lieut.. j. Sanford Bear Of
Illinois of the Thirty-ninth infantry.
He is twenty-five years old. On July
q he distinguished himself in a novel
amer 1t was before Chateau-Thier-
ry and a group of officers in French
uniforms on the opposite bank of the
Vesle were believed to be Germans
In disguise. 1t was to find out If the
officers who pretended to be French
were really so that Bear volunteered
to swim the Vesle and make close OBJ
servation on the other shore.
Whether they were friends or foes
Bear was exposed to the machine-gun
fire of the enemy while swimming, but
he carried through his mission sue
cessfully, found that the French uni
forms were but DISCUSSES, and so per-
mitted the fire from the American side
to be conferred upon the enemy posi-.
tons. For this he won the cross.

PLENTY LABOR
 IN NEW MEXICO
 AT PRESENT

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M, May g fby Associated Press).-"Are you shipping out any men?" This question is usually the first one. asked by applicants for work who make their appearance at the employment office of the United States department of labor, according to Miss Laura Tulett, acting fedora; state director for New Mexico. Since the local office sends out men to all parts of the southwest, Miss Tulett has her finger on the employment pulse of large region
 ''The besetting weakness Of men
 who apply here for help in getting jobs," said Miss Tulett, "is the desire to have transportation furnished them. It doesn't matter much to them where they are sent, as long as som, one else buys their ticket for them"
 Are you shipping out anybody now. boss" was his first query.
 According to Miss Tulett, there is no pronounced balance either in favor of supply or of demand. Both men and
 work are plentiful. Some Of the "prospectives," however, are sal; to be captious as to the kind of work they will accept.
 The greatest demand is for common laborers and for house and car car penters. Good railroad machinists likewise have little difficulty in obtain ing work. The poorest demand is for clerical help. This is explained by the fact that many of the applicants for office positions are tuberculous, and the number of such health-seekers in this state is large.
 Two-thirds of the applicants for work have no trades. Being migrator- fly inclined, many of them are ready to find fault with any town to which they are shipped A Mississippian who had been sent to a town in the north ern part of the state, returned to the employment office a month later and explained that he could not "stay put"
 because there was only one moving
 picture house in the place. Another applicant admitted that he had trav-

 Of the 800 persons who have sought the assistance of the local government employment office during the past month, 483 have been placed. Most of the others have been referred to em- ployers, but for some reason have failed to get the jobs.
 The Colorado beet fields have drawn heavily on New Mexico unskilled labor. The farmers of this state are not making great demands for hired help.
 Living costs in New Mexico have increased about 100 per cent since August, 1914.

Would you not ask yourself what effect this would have upon the bonds which you held, on which the same gov ernment had guaranteed on1yl3H to AZ per cent? Would you not believe that such action merely transferred from the market value of war bonds to the market value of railroad securities six or seven billion dollars? Would you not believe that your government bondS if the, desire of the railroads and the fnanciers was fulfilled, would be quoted at the average of present railway securities while the railway securities would be quoted at the present market value of government bonds ?"
 The government has floated approxi- mate1y $20OO0,OOOO0O of Liberty bonds and Victory bonds, depending for se- curity upon the good will of the gov ernment. They stand in exchange value at nearly par. There are also in exist ence about $2O,OOO,OOO,OOO of railroad securities with percentage of fictitious value so great that they are worth in exchange not more than two-thirds of par.

HARTFORD PAINTERS
 ASK FOR $7 WAGE
Local Union Has Membership of Over 700 and Union Scale
 Has Been $6 a Day.

Hartford, Sept. 12.-After- a mass meeting of members of the local branch of the Painters and Paperhangers' Unionslin Eagles Hall, which was at tende.i by the largest number of mem bcYs 10 turn out at a meeting this year, it was announced that the union ex- peets to establish $7 as the standard union rate of pay for painters, paper hangers and decorators before Septe1n Der 27. -+-
 Members say that they do not ex- pect any trouble with their employers inasmuch as the majority of paper hangers are already receiving this scale, while number of local painting concerns are paying the same rate. At the best, they say they do not work the year around, are hindered by bad weather and dampness and hence many of the members work less than two- thirds of the time. The union has more tIan 700 local members The previous union scale has been $6 a day.

Duncan had made the explanation Tor | the defeat of proposition he invariably was upheld.
 During the New Orleans convention, l when 1t was feared the socialists would capture the convention by trick reso- 1ution, Duncan made a remarkable speech in opposition which resulted in it's defeat. He spoke for three hours and mentioned every labor movement in been sacrificed by ambitious leaders on the altar of partisan politics.
 Probably the Atlantic City conven ton proved the most strenuous to the resolution committee. There were 277 resolutions presented, many of them favoring evezy impractical idea con- ceived by the radical delegates during the unsettled period of the war. The committee held continuous day and night sessions for more than week But out of the mass of good and bad resolutions a masterful report was made that, when adopted, showed the labor movement of America has no de- sire to change its politics for some of those now endanger1ng the labor move ments of Europe.
 When the Great War was looming Up before the people of the United States, Duncan was one of the men who pre- pared the@amous declaration that while the labor movement was against war &aey would, if war was declared, offer their. services to our country in every field of activity to defend safeguard and preserve the republic of the United States of America against its enemles."
 Duncan has had 9. part i'll the world labor movement In 1898 he was fra terRa1 delegate to the British Trade Union Congress. In 1911 he repre- sented the American Federation of La bor in the convention of the Interna- tional Secretariat~ at Budapest, Hun gary. In 1913 he was selected mem Der of the United States Commission on Workme4's Compensation, and in 1917 he was appointed by President Wilson with five other public citizens, as envoy, extraordinary to Russia.
 While yielding powerful inuence on the adoption of principles to benefit the work of the American Federation of Labor. he has been editor of the Gran tie Cutters Journal since, 1895. His writings have been quoted from coast to coast and have been of great good i'll presenting the hopes and ambitions of the labor movement.
