The McPhee & McGinnity Lumber
Company, OF Denver. probably the
largest lumber concern operating In
the state. has definitely decided to
locate a sash and door factory here.

The boards will be shipped here and

grades OF lumber will be made here
as Alamosa furnishes a year-round
shipping service as was impossible
from FL Vado on account OF snow
blocking the railroad passes during
the winter season.
II is proposed to begin work on
the plant a, an early date and begin
operations before another winter.
The factory will bring at least fifty

the conservative estimate OF the ON.

LABOR REPORT STATESI
FRANCE USING WHALE
TO CATCH A SPRATT"
Delegation Advises Ruhr
Settlement by Inferno
tional Tribunal.

LONDON, April 19.-France is
spending millions on the occupation
and getting next to nothing out Of
it; she is using a whale to catch
sprat."
This strikingly phrased conclusion
is contained in the report of the labor
party's delegation which went to the
Ruhr about the middle of March to
investigate the situation there and in
other parts Of Germany.
The delegation was composed of
Thomas Shaw, Charles r. Burton and
William Adamsons. all members of the
House of Commons.
The report which was issued last
night. declares that the delegation
found a state of war existing in the
Ruhr, and lays stress on the dangerous
possibilities for the future of such con-
ditions. where the occupational force
runs the risk of being "inextricably
involved in the common ruin and be-
ing itself wiped out"
Admitting incompetency 10 express
an opinion on the legal aspects of
the situation. the report proceeds:
IN QUE Judgment tne SITUATION can"
not adequately be dealt with by any
machinery under the treaty of Yer
sailies. but requires a new instrument,
international in character. in the fran
ing of which the German people
should participate"
The report makes no, definite recon-
mendations, but suggests that, as de-
lay may be fatal, an Appeal should be
made to the French and German gov
ernments to submit their proposals
with regard to reparations and se-
curity to an International tribunal,
and since British interests are more
directly. involved than those of any
other state except France, Germany
and Belgium, that the initiative should
be taken by the British government
in the form of a. frank and definite
statement of British policy, and that
no effort should be spared to keep
\ in touch with both sides in order to
take advantage Of every development
calculated 70 narrow the gap between
their conflicting claims and terminate

GERMAN UNEMPLOYED
CLASH WITH POLICE
In OCCUPIED AREAS
One Killed, Seventeen
Wounded, in Serious
Rioting.
By the Associated Press.

Essen, April 19.-Clashes between
unemployed and the police were re-
ported yesterday from various parts
Of the occupied area.
The most serious disturbance was
at Muelheim, where crowd attacked
the town magistrates office.
One German vas killed and sew
enteen wounded in a clash with the
security police.
The unemployed at Muelheim have
been reinforced by men from Duis-
burg, 0berhausen and nearby towns
and marched to the town hall to pre-
sent their demands for increased al
lowances.
Admittance to the town hall was
refused the men, whereupon the crowd
began violent demonstration, which
included throwing stones through the
windows.
The firemen and police turned the
hose on the multitude, which only
served to increase the anger of the
mob.
The workmen then attacked the
police, who retaliated with revolvers
and bayonets.
Two of the men wounded probably
will die.
In Essen and Dusseldorf unem-
ployed men on parade had minor
clashes with the police and firemen,
but there were no casualties.
Discomfort among the unemployed
also is reported from Elberfeld and
Barmen, in the unoccupied territory.

John @. Townes Jr., state comman-

ing the meeting of the state executive
committee at the Gunter Hotel Thurs
day morning, outlined plans for a
statewide campaign for members.
State Adjutant g. L. Folbre reported

A list of posts in the state was read.
giving the membership this year and
last, showing that in the majority the
membership has fallen off approx
mately 90 per cent. The membership
of Alamo Post last year was $50. This
year it is 29S. The Houston post has
fallen off from 500 in 1922 to JAG this
year. Ell Paso, Fort Worth and a
few other large cities of the state have
shown a slight increase in member
ship.
A round table discussion of the mat
ter will be held to determine, if pos
sible, what is causing the decrease and
to apply remedial measures.
Group Patients at kerrville.
w. X. Hudson, laision officer of
national headquarters, reported on
the tubercular hospital at Kerrville,
going to the Veterans Bureau. Texas,
he said, is the first state to complete
its disqualification program, and it is
an accomplishment that is largely
creditable to the activities of the le-
gion.
There are now $50 tubercular pa
tents in New Mexico and Arizona,
1877 in the hospital at Houston, and
many more scattered through the regu-
lar army hospitals, Mr.. Hudson said.
All of these men will be placed in
the Kerrville hospital. The first pa
tents will be moved within thirty or
sixty days. The upkeep of the hos
pital, will be approximately 100000
year. This expense will be carried
by the federal government, and in adj
dition to this it will pay the state an
annual rental of $4,000.
II. L. Edgar, recently appointed
state service officer, reported COM
plant about red tape in dealing with
the bureau. He said, however, that
the legion is also to blame for failing
to get results in many cases. The
posts, he said, must cooperate more
with the bureau.
The bureau, he said, in investigat-
Ing cases. must correspond WITH tne
posts, and in the past, most of their
correspondence has been unanswered.
