They left the train at the outskirts

had been advised of their activities
through a telegram which was sent
ahead from a small station after
the Pullman conductor had thrown a
note off the train as 1t passed
through the town. The robbers
quit the train sooner than had been
anticipated and were well on their
way in the automobile which was
waiting for them, before the posse
could get in pursuit

Gated that the robbery had been

HEALTH WORK.

There should be great amount of sasfac-
ton to most citizens in the fact that when the
first meeting of health officers is held in Abu-
querque, there will be five full-tme county and
city health officers in attendance. They will come
from Bernalillo, Chaves, Santa Fe, San Miguel and
Union counties
Their presence in the counties and at the
ference is made easier through cooperation with
the International Health beard of the Rockefeller
foundation and with the United States Public
Health service
The state bureau of health viii be two years
old this coming July, 1t has been under the con-
tnued direction of DR.. c. f. Waller of the Public
Health service. 1t has expanded within that short
period to a department of which any state situated
as New Mexico is situated might be justfably
proud.
Not only is the state machinery well built and
excelently managed. but the county units are OK
ceptionaly strong Five full time departments out
of twenty-nine counties is splendid start. Tho
other tweny-four likely to follow in time How
rapidly will depend upon the measure of success
which the five full-time departments achieve.
Health machinery is being installed in new
counties constantly. 1t should be started wisely
and conducted everywhere with prudence The
citizens of tho state sensing this growing move
ment, should take time to become acquainted with
the mode of operation of these departments They
should learn what health work really is and what
it is not They can do more work from within than
from without

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
LESSONS OF THE COAL STRIKE.

(From the New York Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin.)
Collapse of the British coal strike brought to
the surface a variety of significant developments
that should be understood by all concerned. Briefly
and chiefly they these: ..
THAT the labor movement in Great Britain is
no longer unit; having overreached itself and
incurred a disastrous defeat.
THAT the downfall of the radical labor element
strengthened the conservatives and averted the
threat of trades union dictatorship.
THAT the rank ana file of British labor is sane
and not revolutionary and intends to seek advance
mont through the ballot or other legitimate means
in preference to force. .. ... g. l.4
THAT the British labor movement has been
grossly msled and thoroughly discredited
THAT much of the popular sympathy and pow
er which it undeniably held has been lost.
THAT the main purpose of radical labor leaders
not but progressive enforcement oil social
THAT Bolshevsm and class hatred powerfully
stimulated the strike with the object of creating
discomfort and disrupting commerce. and Industry.
THAT the radical element strove to impose class
rule upon the people, also uneconomic and I'M
reasonable restrictions upon industry. 49,,
THAT experience shows that English labor
leaders whether as government executives or party
representatives have almost invariably exhibited
general incapacty and little practical interest in
any questions outside those of labor. 49,.
That the present labor movement in Great
Britain is universally super-selfish. ra
THAT the creed of British labor leaders has
been a government of trades unions by trades
unions for trades unions, everything for them
selves and nothing for any one else. ,.
That it is the opinion Of many labor leaders
that the public should be taxed for special benefit
of the miners, regardless of the already intoler-
able burden of taxes and as = .-.
THAT in their opinion capital and property
should be attacked and embarrassed in every con-
cevabe maner by taxes. by levies and by all
sorts of obstructive and unjust requirements"
How far these ideals have permeated the minds
of American labor leaders has not yet been clear
ly disclosed. The test, though nearer than may be
imagined. has not yet zen applied. Possibly the
have SOLDERING effect upon the extremists on this

maintain friendly relations with the United States
without sacrificing Mexicos self-respect by yield
ing to the yappings of the money wolves that
look on Mexico as their rightful quarry.
The Journal asks only justice for Mexico-nOth-
ing more nothing less 1t will readily
denim any infringement American sovereignty
as it will deplore any attempt to humate
weaker neghbor that is trying to redeem its self
respect after decades of degradation.
We will vigorously censure any effort
the part of Mexico to interfere in the trial Of the
Nillisas at Deming as will denounce the
attempts of certain sef-servng interests to cause
friction between the two republics.
