P. IL. Neill, the postal inspector who left yesterday on the Evans after having given the Skagway post office the once over, is no chechako, as he has been coming to Alaska for the past twenty one years and knows almost every nook and cranny in Alaska, especially where Uncle Sans mail goes.
 In familiar little chat with re- ipresentative of the Alaskan yesterda MT. Nein, in Speaking of the Alas ka malls coming as express and freight matter said "The post of flee department is ready and always has been to enter into contracts with the steamship companies for carrying the mail provided they would carry out a service on a reg ular schedule, which would make Skagway the terminus of one route and Seward the terminus of the other, taking care of the intermedl- ate ports en route.
 The transNortattiOn comPani s did moi feel that they were able to bind themselves with this kind of a contrac+ during the interim of the war. owing to the falling off of bus mess at those terminals. The gov ernment is shipping mail by eX- press and freight to be sure, but the Teopla of Alaska a,e getting about the same service as heretofore, with rerhan9 the exception Of mailing let ters on the boats after the post of flee had closed the mails.
 The mails for Alaska close in Sc attle one hour before the sailing of the boat and the mail from Alaska reaches the Seattla post office one half hour after it reaches the ter minal station.
 There was some confusion and 6e lay at first owing to misunderstand- ing of instructions by post masters employees and the express compan- les.
 These matters have all b"en strai- ghtened out and the service Is as efficient as can be furnished the people of Alaska with the limited numbcr of boats sailing from Seat tie to Alaska
 MT. Neill paid a high tribute to Martin Conway, our post master as we'll as to Mir. Reynoldson, the local express agent and sad "they are trying to make the service as ef- ficient as possible.>

AND VILLA
HAVE 4 CLEAR PATH
TO JAUREZ, BELIEF

FL Paso, Tex, June ll.-If the in
formation received in FL Paso this
morning is correct, and there seems no
reason to doubt it, forces under Cen
eral Felipe Angeles and Francisco
Villa have swung from south of Sa-
malayuca, northeast in three separate
columns to the vicinity of Guadalupe,
'32 miles east of JuareZ and have a
clean sweep toward the border city.
These forces are said to be under
the command of Ramon Vega and
Martin Lopez and that General Felipe
Angeles is Il few miles farther south.
The number of men in these three
columns is not automatically known,
but it is said to be large.
General Angeles has evidently
swung his forces from few miles
south of Samalyuca northeast toward
Guadalupe, opposite Fabens, Texas,
- miles east of Juarez. He is in a
region where there is plenty of water
and forage for his horses.
This no doubt explains the eager
ness with which the Mexican govern
ment desired to pass 1000 federal
troops from Nogales, Sonora, through
American territory into Juarez, be-
cause Chihuahua City can render no
assistance to Juarez and because of
the fact that many miles of railroad
have been destroyed north of the cap
ital city.
The apprehension prevalent in
Juarcz the past few days was still
manifest this morning, and there is
good reason for it too. Juarez as far
rs the rest of Mexico is concerned, l.
absolutely isolated.
Not "A telegraph wire or telephone
wire is working in any direction south
of the city. Not only is wire com
munication severed but railroad COM
munication as well. Not a train is
moving in or out Of Jaurez and there
has been none for several days.
The only communication Juarez has,
and its only source of news is through
FL Paso.
AT the American consulate this
morning there was long line of men
and women seeking passports in order
to enter American territory. The city
is quiet but tension is high and if one
single shot was fired, it would cause
a panic.
General Francisco Gonzales. com
mandng at Juarez, states he has taken
every precaution against an attack
and that his troops ARE ready That
the JaureZ commander has taken ev-
cry precauton against an attack is
evidenced by the fact that he has ma
chine guns placed every few yards in
the line of defense.
General Gonzales is one of Carran-
Za's ablcst commanders. He IS
graduate of Notre Dame and St. Louis
universities and "a brother of Abram
Gonzales, the martyred governor Of
Chihuahua.

AMERICANS PAID LESS

= comparison of prc-war prices with
those now prevailing shows that the
increase in the cost of living in the
United States rls been les, than in
any other county.
A comparison between the prices
prevailing in September, 1913, ten
months before the outbreak of the
world war. with those Of September,
1918. two months before the signing
of the armStice, shows that the in
crease in the United States level Of
commodity prices was l07 per cent.
In Canadn. the ncrea'c was 10 per
cent. and in the United Kingdom, 1873.
For France the camnariSon was with
the prices of last May, to which time
they had risen 235 per cent.
In all the countries. the rise was ac-
companied by AN increase in the
amount Of money in circulation and
in the amount of bank deposits. In
the United States the per capita cir
culation n 1913 wa S3i.i5. Decem-
her /, 1918, this had increased G2
per cent, to S5G23. During the same
time, bank deposits in America in
creased almost threefold.

The citizens of Quay conuty have
often heard it said that we need a

now seems that this desire will be
given an opportunity to be realized.

large tire factory and later headed
the company that conceived the idea Of
building an automobile factory at Tex

ceeded in his first two projects and
Texico now boasts of having the

Mississippi River and east of Cali
fornia. The tire factory will have a
capacity of building more than 5000
tires per day. The Cannon Ball"
automobile factory will soon be com
pleted. These TWO successful achieve
ments lend confidence in Mr.. Reber-

Mr.. Robertson, in company with NJ.
T.. Springer, of Kansas City, and r.
A. Cooke, of San Diego, California,
were in Tucumcari Tuesday morning
having spent Monday viewing the pos
sible right-of-way. They arrived late
Monday night and left again Tuesday
morning after talking the matter over
with few of our citizens.
Mr.. Springer is Il oad-builder and
sees no reason why this road would
not be II winner, making it possible to
haul coal from Tucumcari to Texico
and later to points south and east.
A lateral from House, McAlister, etc,
to Grady, joining the main line, would
make it possible for the farmers to
ship their grain and products to either
Tucumcari or TcXico at II minimum
cost.
The preliminary survey will be in
charge of Mr.. Cooke and his men. and
weeks. The Tucumcari Chamber of
Commerce will assist in securing the
right of way when the proper time
comes.

GOMPERS SAYS. TYRANNY
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

Atlantic City, n. j., June 9-Tyr-
amy, whether it be in the political
or industrial life of the nation, will
not be tolerated by organized labor.
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, told
delegates at the opening of the thirty
ninth session of the organization here
today.
Men and women shed their blood
and made great sacrifices during the
war because they were fighting for
principles and ideals" said Mr.. Com
pers. Now that the war has been
won, the workers-the bone and flesh
OF the nation--do not intend those
principles and ideas shall be lost sight
of.
when the war began we realized
that if militarism and autocracy
should be victorious. never again
would there be opportunity for free
dom of any sort; never again would
there be any chance for labor to de-
velop and protect itself and the rights
of people who work. SO we threw
our lot upon the side of those who
stood for the largest measure of free
dom.
Nov the war has been won ana
the day of reconstruction and read
justment is at hand. A new concept
Of right has been reached and the
world has gone through great
change. Hereafter the relations be
tween nations and the relations be-
tween men. whether they he employ
ers, skilled mechanics, or ditch dig
gers, will be looked at in a different
light. The workers of the world are
determined to have voice in setting
reconstruction problems that affect
them.
Employers, too, have come to see
the light Of the new concept of right
and they are accepting the new order
of things; that is most of them are.
There are others who, like the bour-
bons of old, never forget anything be-
cause they never learned anything.
But as ! say, there are some en-
plorers who have not yet seen the
light Right now there is concern
in Toledo that refused point blank
even to reconsider their action in in
creasing hours of labor, which they
set for their employees.
"The principles for which labor has
fought since the beginning must come
to full fruition. We are making no un-
just demands.
Workers give to society n service
without which civilization itself would
n inf 10 la go,
worthy Of the civilization of our times
and to future historians the story of
the labor movement in the United
States will prove the greatest source
OF information and inspiration as to
numbers. power and influence"
Applause from the floor at this
point lasted several minutes, and
when it subsidized Mr. Gompers told
the delegates that their duties at this,
probably the most important conven-
tion ever held by organized labor,
would be many and that he was con-
tident that "this gathering from
shop, mill. mine and store" would.
at the conclusion of its efforts, he
able to give a good accounting of what
had been accomplished to their con-
stituents and to the people Of the
country generally.
A message of greeting from Presi-
dent Wilson was read. In it the presi-
dent paid high tribute to Mr.. Com
pers and the work nc had accoin-
plished.
The convection, which will last two
weeks. will ycr,'py itself principally
with recnnS'"'R - problems.
