with the Review that eight hours is
long enough for any man to work. but
it does not believe that a penalty of
300 should attach to the man who is
willing TO work longer hours for more
pay. This deprives the citizen who il
willing to work longer hours from an
income to which he is justly entitled.
The ERA has always maintained that
the eight-hOur day would be allowed
by all companies whose output would
Justify it. The statement of the Re
view that Bisbee and Jerome were not
hurt by the new law justifes this con-
tentiOn. because those camps had
adopted the eight-hOur day before the
law went into effect. There can be
no question that the law in other ways
has been great detriment to the Ter
ritory, because any man who IL
blessed with common horse sense
knows that capital will not invest in
a section that is in the midst of labor
troubles. but more especially so when
it can cross the line into Mexico and
secure ample protection.

THE Arizona Democrat, mOrtgaged.
cinchcd and controlled 10y Col. Wilson
congressman from the great Territory
of Arizona, who made his last cam

having troubles of it's own The
shop was declared unfair some months
ago by the Phoenix Typographical

away from the paper. 1t was then
known rs Il rat ~ shop run by "scabs. "
The paper even dropped several
shades lower when it failed to pay its
''scah - printers their mcasly weekly

THE Kelly combine Of moss back
newspapers raised a howl which was
heard all over the Territory, because
the board of supervisors cut the Bull
letin out of the county pension list,
which as a sinecure has been pre-emi-
nent in this county. The Bulletin
has been sucking the public teat for
more than twenty years, and we
kindly give the devil his due " for
his ability as q manipulation wherein
the long green "cuts the ice The
excuse for the avalanche OF abuse
hurled at the board Of supervisors of
Graham county by the Kelly papers
* that the printing was sent out Of
the country" This is in startling con-
trast 10 the Kelly combine last winter,
when they got their graft in on the
Printing Committee for Printing-work
Of the various Territorial offices
hich amounted to many thousand
dollars. Although the kelly's
owned four printing offices in the
Territory at the time, they put this
printing in their gr. ps and carried it
To Los Angeles and had it done at the
lowest possible figure. without cOnsid-
Grafton whatever for the newspapers
and first-class printing establishments
OF the southwest at Prescott, Phoenix,
and Tucson, or other towns that as
sisted in electing democratic legis-
lature. Did they consider home indus
try then? Not much. They are not
built that way. When they got their
harpoon into the printing committee
they simply broke it of and left it
there. The Kellys object to the work
going out of the Territory, unless they
carry it out themselves and reap a
richer harvest than they could by
doing it in their own shops or else
where in the Territory. oh, consis-
tency!" Thy name is Kelly.

COCUISE County is surely in a bad
way. Hold-ups and murders are of
almost weekly occurrence. Several of
the principal towns of that section
are situated on or near the line of
Mexico, making escape easy for the
desperadoes The remarkable devel-
opments Mt Bisbee and Douglas have
attracted the hardest element of the
border TO that section, and they are
there i'm such numbers rs to make 1t
impossible for the officers to subdue
them. Many of them have been ar
rested or killed off, but others take
their places. The situation seems to
he getting worse all the time. 1t
would seem absolutely necessary for
a sufficient force Of deputies to be put
into service TO disarm every man in
the community. When a man is
caught carryiog gun he should be
fined to the full extent of the law, and
if he has no money or employment he
should be treated as a vagrant. The
good people of Cochise County owe it
to themselves to rid the country of
the band of outlaws who are now
holding high carnival there,

TIE CLIFTON
DURANGO R. R.
Rumored that John D. Rockefeller
Is Backing the Enterprise.

The latest rumor in railroad circles
is that John d. Rockefeller Is behind
the Clifton Durango railroad. It Is
positively known that ever since
Rockefeller obtained control of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company that
he has had corps of experts explor-
ing the iron and steel fields in Mexico
and making up a definite theory that
a modern steel and iron concern with
a capacity of net less than 100000
tons OF finished product annually shall
be erected.
Here are some of the moves that
have been made: Within the past two
months a company has been incOrpOr-
ated in Arizona under the title of the
Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado
railroad company. The capital stock
is 1000 000, with the following incor-
porators: Frank w. Kinney, James ).
Antrey. George truth, Charles Thomas
and Charles Martin. The company j.
authorized to construct a railroad from
Durango, Colorado, to Il point in Co.
chise county, Arizona. From Pueblo
to Durango the Denver & Rio Grande
controlled by Gould and Rockefeller
now runs. The company incorporated
is made up of minor personages who
are said in reality to be subsidiary t.
the Gould and Rockefeller interests
One of them is known to be an employe
of the Denver and Rio Grande. From
Durango the new road would operate
to the Mexican border.
COchise is the point from which the
Sonora, chihuahua and Monterey rail
road is to be built. The company wa;
recently organized in Denver with
$50, 600, 900 capital stock. The route
mentioned runs direct through the
state Of Sonora to the very territory
mentioned as the location of Rookie
feller's present investigation. The
people behind the last named company
are Ex-Governor J. b. Orman, Judge
Luther NJ. Goddard, F. +. Bcrtschy
=. j. Mccartney and others, including
James A. Robertson, who helped tC
build the Mexican Central. This com
pany has been saying nothing but saw
ing wood ever since it was organized
and even now the officers refuse to dis
cuss its plans. 1t Is known positively
however, that they proved to the Mex
lean government that it had ample
money behind it. and on the Streu0 [ h
Of this proof valuable concessions have

such collisions have occurred, one yes
sci suffering from this cause having
been tOwed into port disabled, two
others having lost propeller blades.
and the fourth having sustained 9th
er damage.
The possibility of serious disaster
from collision with dereIicts may seem
remote. but in view of the increase
in number and speed of ocean liners
and the multiplication of vessels 8f
all kinds under sail and steam in tho
lanes of ocean travel. it would SEEM
to be the duty of the maritime powers
to adopt some systematic and etfec-
tive means Of doing away with this
apparently unnecessary peril of the
sea. The American navy has done and
will continue toto do whatever may
be practicable in this direction, and
in pursuance of this policy during the
past year II wrecks, derelicts, or OBJ
structions were reported by the by
geographic office. Of these were To-
Gated and either blown up or other
wise rendered harmless. But deTelicts
have no nationality, and the duty of
removing them from the highways
of the sea is one resting alike upon
all maritime nations whose shipping
may be endangered by them"

Secretary of Navy Discusses Them In His
Report.


Report.
There is certain degree of ro-
mantle interest attached to the der
elicts. or partially wrecked and
abandoned ships that are occasionally
found on the high seas and which are
so much dreaded by sailors. In view
of the unusual manner in which ships
necessarily become derelicts it is sur
prising the number of them there are
and the comprehensiveness of the
means taken by the maritime nations
of the world to destroy them. A
portion of the report of the secretary
of the navy submitted this week bears
on this feature as follows:
Reports on file in the Office of the
photographer OF the navy show that
a total of 1928 floating derelicts were
observed in the North Atlantic dur
ing the period of seven years cover
ed by information tabulated; that the
average flotation period of these
wrecks were 80 days each; and that
of the total number so reported, 4s2
were identified by names and their
tracks plotted for the use of mari
ners. 1t further appears that during
the past 10 years 40 collisions with
derelicts or floating wreckage were
reported to have occurred in the North
Atlantic alone, and that since the be-
ginning of this calendar year four
