THE ANSWER Is EASY.

The demand of the employer for a
reduction in wages proportionate to
the reduction in the length OF the
workday rests upon nothing more
substantial than the habit of COM
putting wages. Why, it is asked,
should labor, demand nine hours.
pay for eight hours work. The
answer is easy. For. the same reason
that the merchant asks SITS for a
coat that costs IS, Or that the butch
err, charges a. quarter for the 15-cent
steak. Because the toiler wants and
has a: right to a profit: the same as
everybody else who. has anything to
sell. =. Because his labor is his stock
in trade, and he has no more need
to sell it at COST or fora bare living
than has the mercnantto dispose OF
his: stock at what he. paid tor it.. II

GOOD SENSE FROM DEBS.

. The trades union is not and cannot
become political machine, nor can
1t be used for political purposes.
Ihey who insist upon working class
political action not only have. no in
tention to convert the trades union
into political party; but they would
oppose any such attempt on the part
OF others.
The trades union is an economic
organization with distinct economic
functions, and as such is q part, a
necessary part, but a part. only of
the labor movement; it has it's own
sphere of activity, it's own program
and is it's own master within: its
economic limitations.
But the labor movement has also
its political side, and 1.-THE trades I'M
ion1st must be educated to realize its
Imp rtance and ia und erstand that
the politieal ESD of e .mIoYeiine
must me unionizeda as. wen as the
economic side, and that he is not. in
fact, union man at all who, al
though a member OF the union on
the economic side, is non-unionist
on the political side; and while strik-
ing for, votes against the working
class.
The trades union expresses the
economic power and the Socialist
party expresses the political power OF
the labor movement.
The fully developed labor unionist
uses both his economic and political
power in the interest OF his class.
HE understands that the struggle be-
tween labor and capital is a class
struggle; that the working class are
in a great majority, but divided
some in one political party and some
in another; that because they are
divided they are helpless and must
unite their class in the trades union
ON the one hand and in the Socialist
party on the other hand; that indus.
tr1ally and politically they must act
together as class against the CAPT
talist, and that this struggle is a
class struggle, and that any work
ingman who deserts his union in a
strike and goes to the other side is
scab, and any workingman who
deserts his party on election day and
goes over to the enemy is a betrayer
OF his class and an enemy OF his tel.
bowman.

made the promise of an: argument in

labor The aim Of the unions, as has
been pointed out, should be, and when
the unions are wisely led is coming
more and more and more to be, not the
limitation; but the development: Of in
dlvldua1 efficiency, and through it the
attainment of superiority Of workman
ship for the group as a whole. The
constant tendency of uniontsm under
such conditions is to lift the lower
grades of workmen toward higher
capacity and exce1lence-in short to
raise their standard Of life. This in
creased efficiency must result in great
er productivity, both in quality and
quantity, and granted a market of
adequate purchasing and consuming
capacity, the outcome must be a great
er sum of wealth to be apportioned be-
tween capital and labor as the re-
ward of their trained effort and intel
igent cooperation.

The elimination of dissention among
the trade :"uniOnists and the promotion
of internal peace among the various
factions of organized labor is at pres
ent one Of the most important matters

and one which, unless handled without
gloves in a most radical manner, will
grow into monster evil :of such enor-
NOUS magnitude: that 1t will have gone
beyond the bounds Of correction and

weeds which too often flourish in the

uprooted lest they draw the life from

Many employers do not know what a
strike means until they have one on
their hands, and after they have one
taste OF experience they are far more
favorably disposed toward a commit

that in 95 out OF every 100 defeats

have been bare. 1t is fortunate
for the valley that her newspaper
men stood up and fought the battle
for progress, not so much as one
mossback being found in the list.
There is so much disputation be-
tween Phoenix editors that it is a
wonder that their fighting blood
did not line some of them up
on the wrong side, but, for once,
common sense and Judgment pre-
vailed.

THE same question which rent
the air prior to the Republican
Territorial Convention is causing
the Democrats to hear similar
noises. 1t is now: Shall we send
an instructed delegation for Mr..
Hearst, or shall we send a Hearst
delegation uuinstructed ? Seems
to us that those who favor no in
structions should be classed as pro-
fessional politicians, who wish to
get control OF the political power
of the Territory and use it as they
please afterward, while the instruc-
ton theory gives the voter a chance
to have his say about how things
shall 90. We believe in the voter.
The politician as voter should
be recognized, but no further. He
is no better than any other voter.

GOOD TEAM WORK

uG pcOp4C VI VIC OoAU AUAN u E"A
lev are showing a disposition to
stand by and with each other that
is marvellous. A proposition was
voted upon recently by Mesa and
Phoenix as to whether the three
towns MESA, Tempe and Phoenix)
should bond themselves for 5000
to build wagon road from Mesa
to the Tonto dam site. Phoenix
has just said, by an overwhelming
majority, that she will pay the
lions share of that amount, and
Mesa voted as a unit on the prop
osition. Whoever heard of the
the people of town the size of
Mesa all agreeing on any subject!
All that remains for the propo-
sition to be put into effect is for
Tempe to vote the bonds. It is
sufficient to say that the bonds will
be voted. Phoenix was the only
one of the three that could have
been expected to go against the
proposition, for the reason that the
proposed road will be of more ben
eft to Tempe and Mesa than to
Phoenix.
This is of considerable import
ance to this section, inasmuch as
the upbuilding of the valley will
help out this section, which draws
a great many of it's supplies from
the valley. But the main reason
for noticing the matter at some
length here is that it shows that
the people of that section are get
ting together, and that they can do
things in that way that they could
never do if at all divided. The
people of that valley are going to
see that their section goes to the
front. They are going to spare no
expense to make all needed i'm
provements and carry their towns
and cities forward to high places.
1t takes unanimity to build city
The lesson this bit of corpora
ton suggests could we'll be followed
by every city, town, village, hamlet
and community in the Territory.
If you want your section to build
up, stand together. If you do not
care and would as soon live in
fossil town as any other, then fight
and fuss with yourself and neigh
Dor. If you want to- see your Sec
tion flourish and 90 to the front
and your towns become cities, your
villages become towns, your ham
lets become villages and the cross
roads become hamlet, then stand
together and back up your own
particular home institutions.
Another thing illustrated by the
progress of the Salt River valley is
the power of the press. 1t is easily
seen that the recent bond election
could not have been carried by such
majority, if there had been one
newspaperman in the city of Phoe-
nix who opposed the bonds. One
newspaper to have showed up the
weakest points would have defeated
the measure, for two-thirds ma.
jority was required, or if it had
not defeated it, the majority would

THE MURPHEY CASE

against w. II. vi MuIpHcN, cA-cH -cl
clerk of the SurveyOr-General's
office, has found that gentleman
not guilty of accepting bribe, be-
cause the money which he accepted
was turned over to Mr.. Price, the
Surveyor General, and, further, be-
cause it was the opinion of the
Jurors that this form of grating
had been carried on for a long
time, and that it has been carried
on in various other places outside
of Arizona. Perhaps Mr.. Murphey
kept his acts so covered over that
a reasonable doubt was created in
the minds of the Jurors as to his
guilt, but, in fact, common sense
teaches that he profited right along
from the proceeds of this extorted
money, which may as we'll be called
bribe money There are three
other cases against Mr. Murphev
and it is likely that Mr.. Nave, the
United States District Attorney,
will continue to push the cases one
by one until he happens to get
jury that believes in enforcing the
law strictly according to the letter.
The press of Phoenix has shown a
disposition in some instances to
criticise District Attorney Nave for
his position in these cases, charac-
terizing his actions as persecution
instead of prosecution.
For our part we are more in
clined to criticise a jury which will
90 into a case and vote ten to two
on the first ballot, for conviction,
and before the agreement was
reached all of these ten turned
around and said that they agreed
with the other two. And we are
inclined to criticise Jury which
will come out of a juryroom and
proceed to tell all that took place
in the juryroom. That is supposed
to be an executive session, and
should be considered private In
other words there are a whole lot
of people who 60 about hooting for
honest administration in the affairs
of the Government, and when it
comes down to brass tacks they
will not themselves vote to convict
man who is guilty of any offense
if there is any technical excuse for
voting to clear him. If Murphev
and Price are acquitted there is
nothing to hinder the present Sur
veyor General from reinaugurating
the same old practices of holding
up the people who wish to get pa
tents. While some might say he
would not do that, we are not in
inclined to believe that any man
need fear doing what the juries of
the country will continually say is
right, in spite of the law and evi-
dence. We do not know who con-
stituted this jury, but we do know
that, if the press of Phoenix has
reported them correctly, we would
not want to tie to the majority of
them in any matter wherein force
of character and clean cut opinions
are counted for anything.
