plate, which brought in three
scores.

Hope for three innings and pitch
ed good ball. He allowed four
hits and struck out six batters.

of the game, allowing six hits
and striking out eight batters,

AS THE PEOPLE VIEW 1T

II was informed in a statement
that the public lands could be OBJ
tanned by the state under the
rights given the states by the con-
stitution in their creation, which
would mean legal action to obtain
that right, the other action would
be a donation by congress, sif the
public lands do not already belong
to the state as indicated by legal
authorities. In any event as to
the legal authority under the adj
mission of New Mexico into the
union, I collated the high opinion
governor of the state for consid-
Grafton, but If such action is not
feasible the matter of introducing
bill in the senate for the dona-
ton of the public lands to the
state can be done and when passed
in that body if am in congress it
will not be laid to sleep in the
house. My being a member Of the
great committee of public lands,
my acquaintance and friendship
with the personnel of said commit
lCC, Will ilOip iliC w 5CI iSouiND
upon any matters which might
come before the same affecting
New Mexico.
The times and the necessities of
the state at this critical time Of
our evolution and progress require
active work by the congressman
and by its senators, who from the
fact that they stand on an equal
footing with all other states, big or
little, can do a great deal, and our
present Senator Bursun is show
ing his mettle and the wise action
of the people of the state in send
ing him to that high body.
OF one thing l wish to assure
your readers, it is no child's play
to be a Congressman, and a lone
at that-it is a mans
Job, with all letters capitalized.
l am in full accord with your
views as to choosing a congress
man"
NESTOR MONTOYA,
Member of Congress.

at Desert Points.
(By The Associated Press.)

Chicago, Aug. 13.-The action
Of members of the big Four
brotherhoods in abandoning
through passenger trains at Nee
dies, Calf, Barstow, Calf, and
Seligman, Ariz, was denounced
tonight as deliberate conspiracy,
a violation Of their solemn agree
ments with the railroad and an
inhuman act by A. G. Wells, vice
president Of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railway tonight.
None Of the reasons given for
these lawless acts is valid" Mr..
Wells declared. 1.-THE Santa Fe

the bureau Of safety, interstate
commerce commission, have made
many examinations recently Of
the Santa Fe power and given
the company clean bill of
health.
"The sympathetic strikers have
given no Specifications as to UNI
safe equipment or other unsafe
conditions in the environment
where the strike took place. For
justification of their lawless and
inhuman conduct at Needles and
other desert places they are

throwing a few days ago at San
Bernardino, $50 miles away from
Needles, where the trouble has
hot been of a sort to induce train
service men to refuse to perform
their accustomed duties, and
which incidentally occurred sub
sequent to the calling of the
strike at Needles.
After abandoning trains filled
with people including aged, in
firm, women and children, in the
desert with the mercury at one
hundred and twenty in the shade,
the strike committee of the Big
Four in session at Needles re-
ceived a committee of five, rep
