THE Business Mems Association
| Of Albuquerque was, OF course, or
ganized in the interests of the bust
ness men of this city. We have no
fight to make on organized labor
| I or have We ever attempted one.
We do feel, however. that the man
who pays the bills is entitled to say
who shall do his work" said f., 7.
| Chase. president of the association,
| last night. 1T is a well known fact
that because of the unsatisfactory
conditions existing in this city il
| is impossible to find a contractor
who will make an outright bid on
a job of any size. This condition
tends to stultify the business
! growth of Albuquerque. An in
stance was reported to this organ
| i2ation this week of q man who
lad recently built a home in the
| city. The home was completed eX-
cept for some finishing touches.
! He bought two loads Of sand but
found when the sand was delivered
! that before the house could be com
Ipleted it was necessary to load the
sand back on the wagon, haul IL TO
the original place of loading. dump
| the sand. reload the wagon and re-
| turn the sand to his property, The
direct loss. in money in this trans
action was SIS, in addition to his
| time and worry.
Another instance occurred of a
man who bought a stove, had the
stove hauled to his house, had to
remove the door and mouldings in
order to get the stove in and then
found that in order to have the
stove connected he had to again
remove the door and mouldings,
take the stove out and return It to
| the dealer from whom he purchas-
ed it and perform the transaction
again.
This kind of thing is not only
Iunbusinesslike, but un-American. "
