with regard to the agreement will be

Operators tonight predicted full re-

shipment of coal from the mines be-

sides appeared confident of a final

weeks duration and which was more
far-reaching in its effects than any
other in the history of the country.
As result of the strike the country
was fast approaching a shutdown of
industry and widespread suffering
among its 100 million inhabitants.
The decision of the miners came af-
ter many hours of debate, in which
the radical element in the general
committee made incendiary speeches
against operators and others interest
ed in settlement Of the strike and for
a time threatened to defeat efforts to
settle the strikt at this time. The
conservative element, led by John L.
Lewis, acting president, and William
Green, secretary-treasurer, gained
control of the situation this morning
and succeeded in putting down prac-
tically all opposition by the time the
question came to vote.

papers. -

A series of breakdowns and acci-
dents at the city light plant Tuesday
and Wednesday resulting in the shut
ting off OF the light and power cur
rent forces The Times to go to press
a day late this week for the first time
in many years.
With no current to operate the
electrical equipment of our linotype,
and no lights Tuesday and Wednes-
day, work was practically brought to
standstill on those days.
A contract was made Wednesday
with Chas. L. Fisk to supply us with
current from the large plant with
which he.operates his electrical equip
ment and Thursday, with the consent
of the city, wires were strung and the
final connections made Thursday
noon, enabling us to go to press with
in few hours thereafter.
With the loss of practically two
and one-half days working time we
are obliged to confine the paper to
eight pages this week..
The other Butler newspapers suf-
fered similar handicap and incon-
venience.
Every attempt is being made by
city authorities to give partial light
service. but with only the small en-
gine working at the railroad plant
and shortage of coal and leaky boil
ers at the uptown plant, the service
will be meagre until repairs are made
on the big engine at the railroad
plant. This will require from one to
two weeks.

great events of the whole world were
carried to the homes of the people
every day in The Republic and were
matters of daily comment. To keep
up with the widening field, the busi-
ness of journalism itself was trans
formed. Dailies succeeded weeklies,
the patient hand compositor laid
down his "stick" and learned the
typesetting machine, the little hand
press became a roaring monster of
steel driven by steam.
Throughout all of that marvellous
time The Republic has had its share
in making the progress which it re-
corded. It would be folly to say that
in the century and more since The
Republic saw the light no mistakes
have been made, no unworthy things
done.
But the long life of The Republic
is assurance that its career, as a
whole, has been good and honorable.
1t has told the story of the nation as
truthfully as it could. 1t has inter-
preted the news from day to day in
manner which. secured the approval
of men who must now be numbered
Dy many millions. For many years
there have been among its readers
men and women who tested the value
of their earliest lessons in A B c by
trying their new, knowledge on its
columns and who continued to read
The Republic as long as they lived.
The faithful following of such peo-
pie down to this day is further evil
dence that The Republic has stood
for those things that were approved.
The time has come to close the
volume. The Republic has gone to
press for the last time, but the prin-
ciples which it has upheld will con-
tinue to guide the country, and will
be, in measure, more effective, be-
cause of the generations which have
imbibed them from this paper. Only
in this sense is The Republic to sur
vive. AS a living newspaper The Re-
public was, but is no more.

ALBUQUERQUE LABOR SANE.

The new labor paper, The Workers
Chronicle, which began publication in
this city last Wednesday, w. c. Nc
Court, editor, is newsy and well gotten
up. But the best thing in it is the
inside" story of the efforts of w. b.
Dillon, the only self-confessed Bolshev-
list known in New Mexico, so far as we
know, to break into the labor organi-
cation with his pestiferous doctrine.
He was turned down cold, and will not
be admitted to the labor hall, here
after.
This shows. as the Journal has al
ways held, that union labor in Albu-
querque is conservative. dependable,
and never a follower of radicalism in
it's political affiliations.
Dillon attempted to make trouble
during the draft. He is "agin" the
government always-against all gov
eminent in fact
| In a hysterical article IN an Ohio
socialist publication recently, he told
! Oh now inc JOuEHdl uellbeIdlely Sdllu
! in a headline that the Bolsheviki were
about to take Boston. There was such
| typographical error in the Journal.
Boston was made to appear when 1t
should have been Berlin. He said the
misprint was done deliberately and
was part of the deep and dark scheme
to serve capitalism.
The only pathetic thing about it is
that a large part of the deluded peo-
pie who read the writings of men like
Dillon believe such tommyrot. OF
course he knows better. They would
know better if they were willing to
work for living. like the rest of us,
instead of wanting to have what other
people have made by industry and
economy divided up among the won't

FOXY GRANDPA FOOLED.


President Carranza. in order to
grab the oil properties of Mexico from
which oil is taken, had a constitution
voted asserting sub-surface products
belong to the government. Then he
called for special session of congress
for this month to enact legislation to
govern the production and disposition
of oil.
Rumor has it that the scheme origi-
mated with Germans in Mexico, who
assured the president that they would
buy the oil from the government,
They doubtless thought they could do
a good stroke of business and at the
same time deprive England and the
United States of fuel for the navies
that were controlling the seas.
With Germans probably now UNI
able to finance such a deal, the foxy
grandpa may wink the other eye and
listen to orders from the allies or the
leagnue of nations. He may even
think he can get good money from
oil owners to abandon plans to con-
fiscate or tax excessively the output
of the wells.
The old man of Mexico cannot make
a nation by holding up the United
States or England.
