Classes in City.
That labor will not put a ticket in the field in the coming municipal election was the statement last night of W. S. Patterson, secretary of the Machinists' union for the Santa Fe system and a prominent labor leader of Albuquerque.
"Labor does not intend to put out a ticket this spring," said Mr. Patterson. "It does not desire to take charge of city government.
"Labor proceeds on the assumption that the great body of citizens of Albuquerque have no desire to give any class the worst of it and that when a ticket is put out, it will not be objectionable to any class in any way that could lead that class to take any unusual interest in the election."
Mr. Patterson pointed out that in the recall election last year both sides spent a large amount of money and the town was torn in two.
"Such a condition should be avoided this year if possible," he stated, "especially since we need our funds for financing so many worthwhile things in our city."
