Agreement is barely six months old and
that it expressly prohibits stoppages OF
work and strikes, yet there are at the
present time twenty-eight strikes in the
shops of members of this Association
(some of which are more than two
weeks old), and you have failed to re-
spond to our repeated demands to re-
turn the men to work, in accordance
with the terms of our agreement.
Such conduct on your part leaves us no
alternative than to insist that you return
these men to their work in their respec-
tive shops on or before January End,
1920.
''You have at all times maintained that
you have full control over the workers,
and should you fail to return these men
to work we shall be justified in believ-
ing that you did not exercise your power
Gas is your duty in this regard. AS this
was the basic consideration for our en-
tering in the Agreement with you, we
shall be compelled under the circum-
stances to make such publicity as we
deem proper to show the injustice of the
methods employed by you and the in
tegrity of our position
We received under date of December 3lst,
1919, a reply from the Union reading as fol-
lows:-
in reply to your letter of the 3Oth inst.
we wish to say that we do not know of
any strikes at present in any of the
shops of the members of your Associa-
ton, and that no strikes will be called or
tolerated by our Organization in any of
these shops, as we are determined to live
up fully to the terms and letter of our
Agreement.
AS regards the stoppages occurring in
any of these shops, we wish to call your
attention to specific provisions in our
agreement governing and regulating
same.

LET THE GOVERNOR SAY

IN another column is a letter TO The Herald from Hon. Frank W.
Clancy Of Santa Fe in which he questions our fairness in calling
attention to Governor Larrazolos complete change of heart with
regard to a primary election law between January 3, 1920 when he
opposed it fatty, aud July "a, 1920, when he made il a feature of his
appeal for denomination and election. t.
The Herald has the utmost respect for Mr.. Clancy's views upon
any public question. Also his persistent kindness in Judging men
and interpreting their motives is admirable. In this ease we fear he
has read into the public statements of our governor shades Of mean
ing which are not there. We DO not think that our governor had in
mind a direct primary law when he went ON record in his letter Of
january 3, opposing such a law, as distinguished from q primary
election law" when he went on record as favorfng such a law on
July "a Our view is that our governor on July "a came out in favor
of something that he thought would help him get a nomination,
wholly without regard TO what he stood for on january I.
As for Mr.. Clancy's letter, we agree with him absolutely that n
direct primary" is an aboninaton and that this state needs a "pri-
mary election law and II a primary election law is what our gov
efnor means in his recently acquired platform, we quite heartily
approve it. ~A- AZ
y was not our purpose to eritieise any advocacy Of a primary
election law, as stated at the time, but only to call attention to our
Rovernor's radical change Of heart and policy when he ruthlessly shed
the policy of a lifetime never to seek a nomination for office. We still
incline to a belief that il was n change Of policy and not a shade of
meaning that marked the difference in Mr.. Larrazolos views on Jan
utry 3 and July N-ahd that the reason forthe change was as stated
above. As Mr.. Clancy suggests, we might hear from the governor
about il.

THE DAY 1T HAPPENS

yTr1iE HERALD beat the journal, as usual, on the news that the
Santa Fe Railway company had filed an important appeal before
= the state tax commission from its coal land assessment in Col
fax county. Mr. Magce says this morning that we did 1t cruelty, in.
humanity and with malice aforethOught, 50 ms to suppress the news
that coal lands in Cofax county are escaping their just share Of tax
alton. The reason is a bit vague, but the editor of the journal,
more than half a column of editorial space to justify it. The argn-
ment takes the form of abuse of The lIerald and Of Tom Hughes.
:" To clear up Mr.. Magees mind on the matter, we II explain gently
and patiently that we printed the Colfax county mine tax appeal
story because it was the most important item of its kind that has
Originated in New Mexico recently because it was news and because
IL Mr.. Magec will run over the columns of the Albuquerque papers
for d few months past he will understand what that means.
Mr.. Magce's editorial reasoning often seems n trffe coudcd,
possibly, we think, because he has contracted a severe ease of min
ng-9ts." This is a complaint which frequently claims budding
political leaders, political opportunities, deraRngues and soap box ora
tors. It's marking symptom is a mania for telling people that certain
AL powerful corporations, mining companies, etc, are getting enor-
mously rich by robbing the public treasury. The other identifying
symptom is a complete lack of knowledge of the facts.
~ in this ease the appearance of The maady is opportunc. Ii gives
Mr.. Magee something to write about other than his promotion of the
political fortunes Of Governor Larrazolo, which promotion has in
volved him in a somewhat complicated and apparently embarrassing.
situation.
just to refresh Mr.. Magees memory as to the fact that he is run
ming Larrazolo for governor on a reform platform, we would like to-
point out to him that for n little more han eighteen months past Mr.
he has been familiar with all of the facts rs to coal land assessments
in Cofax county; that he has had the power and authority and the
machinery TO do everything about these coal land assessments and to
the coal mining companies that Mr.. Magee says sbonld be done right
now,-lest the republican party be doomed,-and that friend lara
sho has done exactly and precisely nothing.
Yet Nh. Iarrazolo is the man who Mr. Magee tells us is the only
individual who can possibly save the republican party from dcstruc-
Notwithstanding. of course; Mr.. Magee. q
Mr.. Magee should not forget that he is not only the mouthpiece
of the Lmrrazolo political combination, but that he is the attorney for
plete inability to see that there Is anything the matter with the as
easements of coal lands in Colfax county.
