one cent per ounce, and no package
must weigh over lbs, except printed
books, to any point in the Union. The
lowest rate is lbs. for ga cents.
The parcels post has been in such
successful operation for twenty years
past that in 1905 the British postoffice
gross profit on her mail service was
over $20,000,000. Germany in 1902
handled 150,000,000 parcels and the
profit on her mail service was $15,,
100000. The postoffice department of
the United States was run in 1905 at
a nominal loss of $14,O72,5S4.15.
In 1880 the Universal Parcels Post
Union was formed between some 230
different governments for the trans
mission of parcels. The United
States did not become party to this
union, and has postal arrangements
with only 81 out of the 230 above
mentioned and those chiefly West In
dia Islands. In other words, we are
behind every important country in
the world; we should accept that
position indefinitely rather than ex-
ert ourselves in the attempt to catch
up. OO says postmaster General COr-
telyou.
Do not you think that what the Ger
man postoffice can do for the German,
the British for the Briton, the Mexican
for the Mexican-do you not think the
United States postoffice should do for
the American? The campaign is now
on; let us take front rank. We have
long enough occupied the position of
behind every other intelligent nation
in the world" Write each member
of congress and each u. S. senator
from this state, and tell them you will
support no one who will not work
and vote for parcels post measure,
and be as good as your word.

STRIKE LEADERS
ARE IN CUSTODY
Men Who Are Responsible for
the Cananea Riots to
Be Prosecuted.


B1SBEE, Ariz., June S.-As a result
of the strike at Cananea, Mexico, last
week, the American miners in the
camp will be very few in number in
the future, 1t is believed. They are
crossing the line in droves. Several
hundred have arrived in Bisbee.
On Thursday the Mexican aurhori-
ties sent an Inspector through the
mines notifying all American miners
that those who were under suspicion
Of having agitated the trouble at
Cananea and had openly sympathized
with the striking Mexicans would on
the day following be placed under ar
rest. The result was a general exodus
of Americans.
The Mexican authorities have adopt
ed strong measures to enforce orders
TO return to work. Thursday morning
seventy of the Mexican ringleaders
were arrested. As soon as 1T became
known that these men were in jail
the Mexican miners began returning
and 1900 made application for work
at the old wages.
The number Of killed in the riots
viii probably never be known The
Mexican authorities buried the dead on
Saturday and Sunday nights without
any attempt at Identification.
The Governor or Arizona and Mcxi-
can officers have been requested to
send official reports to their respective
Governments concerning the taking of
armed forces of American volunteers
to Cananea Saturday morning by Gov
erhor Ysabei
