LORDSBURG PEOPLE FRIENDLY

New Mexico returned we'll pleased

$3.50 STOLEN
FROM GROCER
SUNDAY NIGHT

Three hundred and fifty dollars
was the prize of quick-acting thief
or thievea who visited the little
grocery store of Manuel Recarey,
725 First street, Sunday evening.
The money had been kept in an
iron container in the grocery store
by it's owner, and he says it had
never been bothered before and that
he thought it was a deep secret in
which no other person than himself
had any interest.
Accordingly, when he went about
his business, and customers or 9TH
era entered to trade, he had no
fears about the welfare of his cash.
1t was that situation which existed
on Sunday evening and having oc-
casion to step into the rear room,
he thought nothing of leaving two
young men standing there, and the
thought of his cash never entered
his mind.
A few minutes later when he re-
turned, he was surprised to find the
two young men gone from the store
and he quickly noticed that the con-
tainer in which he kept his money
also had disappeared. He quickly
called some of his friends and start
ed search for the money and the
missing men.
The burglary wad at once report
ed to the police department, ac-
cording to Recarey, but so far as is
known no clew to the thieves has
been discovered by the officers. Re-
carey says the two who were in the
store last before the disappearance
Of the strong box in which the
treasurer was kept were Mexicans,
and that they were about 25 to. 80
years of age.
The loser of the cash described
his loss as having been made up OF
$211 in currency, of which amount
six one-dollar bills were a part;
that there were probably as much
as SIS in nickels and dimea and
may be over a dollar in copper
cents and the rest of it was silver
coins, largely dollars. There was
no gold pieces in the amount, he
says.
Recarey has been residing at 725
First street since 1917, operating
grocery and selling tobaccos, also.

LAST DAY RUSH
FOR new PLATES
in FULL SWING

The mad scramble is on. After
months of warning. the public has
finally realized that the month OF
March is going to come whether
they are ready for it or not, and
the officers of the deputy county
assessor are crowded with people
for the 1928 automobile
licenses. If they don't. get them
before March l, they will have their
cars tied up and will be, forced to
pay double for the plates before
they can get their cars again.
Deputy Assessor James A. Howell
and one assistant are in the office
now all the time, while one man
found but little to do last week.
The worried applicants pay in their
fees and, after making two trips
down stairs to the street to make
sure what the numbers are on
ther 1927 plate, which they have
stared at every day for a year, they
are given their 1928 licenses right
over the counter instead Of having
to wait for their plate5 to come
from Tombstone.
Howell said yesterday that it was
relief to see business pick up, but
that he did not believe that nearly
all those without tie 1928 licenses
will be able to get them today and
this is positively the last day. There
will be no new revocation of the
double penalty sentence, the asses
sor says. Howell recalls that on
two occasions this year persons
have come to the window to make
their applications who knew the
numbers of their 1927 license
plates. He says that there have
been half dozen who had their
certificates of title on the first visit
and several who knew they should
have brought them, but just
thought it didn't matter much.
Persons must have their certi-
ficates of title and must be able to
give their license numbers, even If
they have to go out and walk
around the block to get them, and
Howell says he seels sure that next
year more will have learned this
and there may be ad many as a
dozen who will have license num-
Der and certificate of title on hand
when they first appear.

WARNS
Against Initiating British
Labor Movement

Montreal e. L. N. SIN a mes
sage to Canadian workers, Ramsay
Macdonald, head of the first labor
government in Britain, expressed the
hope that the Canadian labor move
ment might find some inspiration in
the experience of the workers of the
old country, but warned against try
ing to initiate the British labor move
ment, as it is up to the workers of
each nation to develop policies and
plans adapted to their own peculiar
position. The better economic posi-
tion of the Canadian workers as COM
pared with those of England was an
evidence of the intelligence of the
workers of this country, he soft
soaped.
Predicting the election Of labor
government with real power in Brit
ain, Mr.. Macdonald dryly observed:
"The present has been doing so badly
that anything may happen"
One task labor government would
undertake with vigor, he added, would
be the development of schemes to
put more people on the land of
Britain. The utilization Of water
powers, the Improvement of the high
ways, and the drainage of over a mil

Q.-Under what circumstances was
the label of the Cigar Makers Union
first used?
A.-The union label trades depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor says: Originally the cigar
makers label was a weapon against
Chinese labor on the Pacific coast,
which was threatening to deal a blow
at the American standard of living
from which it might never have re-
covered. The cigar makers of San
Francisco and other coast cities first
used a white label on all cigars to in
dicate that they were made under
union conditions and not by coolies
in filthy sweatshops."
Q.-Who said: "Organized labor
owes allegiance to no political party.
1t is not partisan to any political par
ty. 1t is partisan to principles, the
principles of freedom, justice and de-
mocracy"?
A--This declaration was adopted
by the convention of the American
Federation of Labor held in 1920.
Q.-Is it correct to call the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor an organiza-
ton?
Discussing this point, Samuel
Gompers said: "The, A. F. of L. as its
name implies, is federation, and not,
as it is often mistakenly called, an
organization. 1t is federation of
organizations, each of which has its
own government, determined by its
own needs and requirements, the re-
suit of the experiences of the MEM
bers of the organization"
