than everything else was capital to change prospects into mines, and that during the years that capital was wait ing for some return it would be against the best interests of the miner himself to hamper the business so that the de- mand for labor would be cut off.
 But to the aid of the professional agitators and walking delegates came the political demagogue. Political grafters by the hundred took up the cry that the miners of Arizona must have an eight-hour day" The demo- cratic party was stampeded into mak- ing the howl a test of party loyalty. Not a few time-serving republicans joined in the hue and cry against the men whose energy and money were making it possible for miners to find employment. The result was the ex- isting eight-hour law, which makes It unlawful for any miner to work more than eight hours
 Large numbers of mine owners say they cannot operate their properties without adjusting wages somewhat in proportion to the reduction in hours. In most sections of the territory the miners have reached compromise with their employers. and work IS going ahead satisfactorily. But in other camps-notably Clifton and Morenci- the miners refuse to make any con sessions, and are on strike. They have their eight hours, but they have ;io work.
 This is the harvest time for the sgi- tators who have brought about the existing state of affairs in the territory. and it stands them in hand to feather their nests while they can. Pretty soon their dupes who have thrown up good jobs will nave to go tramping in hunt of work, ana hundreds of them will leave Arizona. It may be a long time before they will again have money to give up to the jawsmiths.
 The socialist Mercy, president of the Western Federation of Miners, has decreed, we understand, that more agi> tators must be sent into Arizona 10 make another grand effort to stir min CTS everywhere to a revolt, and the doctrine is to be preached into every miners ear that since labor produces all wealth. all wealth belongs to labor If the Mercy gang succeed, there can be but one result, of course. The min- ing industry in Arizona will be brought to a standstill, indefinitely. Every citi- zen. every business man, large and small-most of all, every miner-will suffer serious loss.
 There is, manifestly, conspiracy to bring hard times upon the territory, but we are confident that the conspir- acy cannot succeed. We have a strong faith in the common sense of Arizona s people. We do not believe it possible for the agitators to lead Arizona miners to their own ruin.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May Capt John
Baptiste Ford, father Of the plate glass in
dustry and the first to pipe natural gas
into Pttsburg, died at Creighton. Pa, on
the Allegheny river, this morning.
Born in Danville, KY, Nov. IL, 1911, he
made a fortune manufacturing boxes, and
later building boats in Indiana during the
civil war. He became interested in the De
Pauw Plate Glass Company. Indiana. and
lost everything when seventy years of age
He and his two sons erected plate glass
factory at Tarentum, Pa. with $1,000 which
they received for glass patent. and soon
amassed another fortune. They entered
the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company as own
ers Of about s., 100000 of stock They built
the Ford City glass works, on the Allie
gheny river, the largest Of its kind in the
world. Failing to agree with other di-
rectors OF the Pittsburg Plate Glass Com
pany. they sold out at about Sc. The capital
stock has since been increased to 81. .OO0, 900
and the stock is selling at 14o The Fords
believed that plan was formed to squeeze
them out. They erected the Ford plate
glass plant at Toledo, o., and built the
Alkalai plant at Wyandotte, Mich, for
which they were offered s6,00O.OOO recently
but refused. The Ford Plate Glass Com
pany Is the principal competitor Of the

pioyes erected statue to him at Ford
City, which he founded.
A dispatch from New Albany, Ind says
Captain Ford had been in i'll health for
several years, and a cancerous affection
caused him to become blind about a
year ago. 1t is probable his body will
be buried at Allegheny. Pa, beside his
wife. who died a few years ago. Cap
tain Ford came to this city when a
young man and for many years lived at
Greenvtlle. ten miles north OF New Albany
ment contracts and began experimenting

erected factories in Louisville and Jeffer-
Sonville and was interested In other in
dustries The ventures were unsuccess-
ful and twenty-three years ago Captain
Ford, almost penniless, left for New York
and interested capitalists in the manufac-
ture of plate glass. He was the first to
utilize natural gas in making glass Fac
tories were established by him at Taren-
tum Creighton and Ford City, Pa, the
latter being named in his honor, and other
industries owned by Captain Ford are To-
Gated at Wyandotte, Mich. and Toledo, o.

Southerners Making Themselves RI

washington POST.
A curious and amusing controversy has
arisen In New Orleans anent the approach
ing Confederate reunion fixed for some date
next month. AS il appears. the managers
of the function expect at least $1,000 vet
Grams. and, in arranging the programme.
have decided that they will need twenty
brass bands IL transpires, moreover, that
when a New Orleans committee wishes TO
secure musical attractions Ii must deal
with the officials of the Trades Council"
They cannot go out into the market and
employ dispensers OF sweet sounds. They
must apply TO some union or council and
take what the latter see fit to give them.
Thus the controversy in question has
arisen.
For some reason which we fail TO under
stand, the committee will not put up with
negro bands. The members Of that body
are reported as declaring that never. never.
will they permit the survivors of the Con-
federate army TO march TO music dis
coursed by the colored man and brother.
On the other hand. the magnates OF the
Trades Council, not having twenty white
bands at their disposal, insist upon the col
ored contingent and declare that any at
tempt to introduce white bands from other
cities will result in boycott and the total
tire period of the encampment. So the mat
ter stands, though the discussion RACES
with great vigor The ex-Confederates
VOW. promise and declare that they will not
march to music furnished by negro bands.
while the labor officials say with equal
firmness thet the negro must be accepted
or there VIII De no bands at ALL
In this controversy We think the Trades
Council has the best of II. The negro mu-
sicians belong to the union. they pay their
dues and they are entitled TO protection.
For all purposes of revenue they are as
good as the white horn-blowers and deserve
equal recognition. The ex-Confederates.
on the contrary. have no sort of warrant
in refusing to march to music of negro
make. Since when. we should like TO know.
have Southern men of the better class pro-
hibited the negro musician? Before the
civil war they danced to the fiddle. flute.
guitar and bass viol OF the colored artist.
No picnic was complete without a colored
orchestral no ball so much as dreamed or
with the colored Orpheus left cut. Even
afterward. when the freedman replaced the
slave. when did the beauty and the chiv-
airy of New Orleans shrink from the negro
artist or refuse TO trip responsive TO his
master touch? Was not the most favored
and sought-for parlor orchestra In the
whole city led by Basile Barres and COM
posed of musicians taken from his own
race? How about Edouard Dejan. now in
Paris-a pianist who was sought for by the
most highly placed society leaders In his
native town? Really. IL seems 10 US that
this squabble is beyond the reach OF serious
consideration.
