One of the principal content

One Of the principal contentious
that the new Arizona Poultry Asso-
citation will wage lies in the fact that
eggs are sold by the dozen and not
by weight. They contend that their
high grade eggs, usually of exception
al size and weight, should not bf
placed down on selling level with
eggs of the small barnyard fowl and
their contention is just one. There
is no more reason why eggs should be
sold by the dozen than that beef
steak should.

To Sue for Forfeit Money,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 24.-Besidcs
what they term a battle for bread, the Of.
ticials of the United Mine Workers have
arranged to make a battle in the courts
for money. 1t will be for money in
the hands of certain operators in
the Pittsburgh district, kept from
the wages of the men who
went on strike. In accordance
with instructions received from Ma
tional President Ratchford and the
members of the national executive
board, the local district officials have
placed the matter in the hands of their
attorneys and suits are to be brought
for more than ST.. 900, the amount
strikers have forfeited. The
suits will be brought IN the
validity of ironclad contracts which
the men signed. In these contracts it
was agreed that, as a guarantee of good
faith on the part of the cmployc, the
employer should retain ten per cent. of
the employees wages. When the men
struck this money was declared for.
feitcd and withheld from them by the
operators.

CANoSsBURG, Pa, July 24.-No trou.
bic has yet occurred at McGovern. Nc
effort was made by the strikers to pre-
vent operations at the mines. About
300 of the strikers returned to Miller's
Run and Bower Hill yesterday morn
ing to secure food and reinforcements.
A heavy rain fell Thursday night and
very much dampened the ordor of the
strikers as they were camped
in an open field. Orders were
given by the leaders y~esterd ay
morning to the effect that all
entrances to the mines are to be closely
guarded, and any miners caught going
to work would be halted and entreated
to join the strikers. If they refuse
force will be used. Should this plan
fnil more stern efforts will be made to
compel the miners to join their ranks.
A brass band and drum corps emily.
ened the scenes about the camp yester-
day morning, and a magsh was made
to the mine through the principal
streets and return.
About forty deputies are on guard at
Cooks mines. The strikers are quiet
and orderly, however, and do not make
any threats of violence, yet they are de-
termined. No firearms were noticed
about the camp.

The Canonsburg region has produced
no sensational features to-day. The
striking miners are stillencamped near
the Allison and Boone mines to per.
suade workers from going to work. but
rs the hearing in the injunction case
was postponed from this afternoon I'M
til Monday, there is little danger of
any conflict at present because the
mine owners have announced that
their mines would remain closed down
until after the hearing.
So Ear as the injunction is concerned
the strikers claim it will have no eff.
feet. rs it restraints them from what
they have no intention of doing. They
say that they will modest no one; that
they are content to wage a battle of
peace and order, and that as they have
public sentiment on their side they are
bound to win. Should the injunction
be made perpetual the operators. it is
surmised, will make an attempt to re-
work. If they do there will be
trouble, as long as there are n strik.
ers in the vicinity of the mine.
lHtic are ue fullbfS OF Il mdfcn

While all this is going on, the Turtle

mines are working steadily and with

hat they will pay no attention to the

IN the other hand the miners
claim that their organ
