MORE ABOUT THE PAINTERS.

A contributor to a local labor paper, under the
signature "A Painter" takes to task for calling
fhe painters the least skilled craft in the building
trades"
He recites all the wonderful interior decorating
feats that some members of the craft can perform
We presume some The writer did not nave
the temerity to say that they could all do good work
Two and only two, painters called upon us. AS
the writer says he called he is of course one OF The
two Asking the qualifications required Tor
admission to the union and the examination In pro-
ficencv exacted we were told substantially this
I'VE cannot afford to have painter outside the
union. Therefore, when man protesting to be a
painter comes to town issue him permit ana
allow him to go to work We require the contractor
employing him to withhold $3.50 per day and pay
it to the union for his dues If he can hold down a
Job long enough pay his dues take it for grant
de that he is competent and issue his card
In the face of such mulctng of the public why
all the high flown bunk" about competency?
The gentleman concludes follows:
II intended to address this letter to the
Journal but after having had interview
with its editor, thought better of 1t, and am
sending it where l know it will be published
an passing might add that our wages in
1914 were $500 per day and not $3.50, as re-
corded by the editor of the Journal"
The gentleman brought in one communication
which we published full in spite of the fact that
it was a discourteous assault He has asked
us to publish nothing else He evidently disiked his
cross examination and stayed away.
We asked the two gentlemen what the wages of
painters in 1914 and 1915. Neither could tell,
as they had been here only short time. We relied
for information, therefore upon those who
really belong in Albuquerque.
Why, pray tell us, is it impossible for such gen
tlemen to be candid with the public?
! If brick mason, a plumber carpenter, a limo
typist a machinst is incompetent 1t is apparent
in thirty minutes. These men must really know
their trades. Ninety per of the painting can
be done by unskilled labor. We stand our ground
and repeat that they are the least skilled of the
crafts OF the building trades.
We wonder why the other crafts tolerate the inn
pudence of the painters in presumng to be the first
to demand increase in wages, but that is their
business not ours.

of items concerning painters wages in other cities
THE public will find them illumnating)

If there is no question of disease

GROWING DAIRY INTERESTS.

New Mexico farmers acting under advice OF
county agricultural agents are buying dairy cattle
from the Salt River valley of Arizona, some forty
carloads having already been distributed in Berna-
lilo, Torrance, Chaves, Colfax De Baca, San Migue
and other counties. The great profit being made on
Arizona cotton is causing the sale Of dairy stock by
men who to use lands for that staple crop. OF
such cattle offered for sale only 5000 head remain
of total of $1,000, and the prices asked are so per
cent less than prevail in eastern stock centers.
In several of the New Mexico counties creamery
business brings good revenue to farmers. This is
being added to in Colfax county by neighborhood
cheese factories which growing as cattle in,

RENOVATION OF FEATHER

Lucky" indeed is the woman
who possesses pillows which were
made in the long-ago when feath-
ers came chiefly from ones own
barnyardl and, consequently there
was no need to worry about a pos
sible unsanitary origin.
For our ancestors chose only the
most perfect feathers to make up
into pillows and baked them in
their ovens or sun dried them thor
oughly before using them. Today
when we cannot know where our
feathers come from we are thank
full that pillow and mattress facto-
ries sterilize all feathers before
using them; good factories remove

from the feathers, destroy the
quill, and sterilize them either by
submitting them to live steam and
agitating machines, or by the cleo
tro- chemical process. which com
prises some - or IL different
stages, beginning with dry-heatlnR
and ending with the electrical
chemical treatment, which disln-
fects and reaches the inside OF the
quill. H.
My correspondent neglected to
say whether or not her pillows had
ever come in contact with a CON
tagious disease; | would advise her
to make inquiries regarding this
question, for if there is even the
remotest suspicion that they may
contain germs they will need to be
sterilized by a factory. cine local
