THE INJUNCTION SUIT.
Both Sides at Goldfield Awaiting the
Issue.

Goldfield. New, Dec. 21.-Both sides
of the labor controversy in Gold field
are tonight anXiously awaiting word
from Carson as to the result of the at
tempt of the mine owners to secure
from the United States court an in
junction against the members of the
Western Federation of the Goldfield
union prohibiting them from picketing
the mines and compelling them to
cease their meetings OF conducting the
business Of the union in GOldfield. The
mine owners are hopeful of the sue
cess Of the measure while the leaders
in the union are still maintaining that
they will fight any such Injunction if
granted to the end. As yet there mas
been no apparent effort made by the
union or on behalf Of the Western Fed
Grafton to prevent the granting of the
injunction. Sheriff Ingalls, today
swore in about fifteen more deputies
who are compelled to give bonds each
in the sum of $4,000 and who are to
be ready for a call to duty any min
ute after the departure of the troops.
No more strike breakers have arrived.

with regularity. Mr.. Brown says that
recently a number OF people have ap-
preached him on the subject of more
wood for Phoenix. His position in the
matter is easily explained. He has no
interest in any alleged wood combine
or in the other side of the question.
The government gives him the right.
and expects him to keep that wood as
a sort o. reserve fund for the benefit
of the Indians in time of poor crops.
bad seasons or general financial dis
tress. He is given the right To issue
permits to sell wood as he thinks
best. Presumably he Is To Issue per-
mIts 10 those who are in actual need
of the money which the wood viii
bring, to care for their families. on
account of il being near Christmas.
during the past month he has been
more liberal than usual and about 215
permits have been issued.
This was done In order TO give the
Indians a little more money for this
time of the year. From now on how
ever. there is likely to be curtail-
ment to some extent of the issuance OF
the permits. to keep within the bounds
of the letter and spirit of the govern
ments rules. Permits will be given
only to those in actual want. Mr..
Brown SAYS that the Indians would
rather sell firewood than to cut hay
or harvest wheat or do any farm
work, and il allowed full sway would
do nothing else and soon the supply
would be exhausted. ranches would
go to the weeds and if hard times came
on. the government would have 10 feed

NEW scHEOULE.-There wi

NEW SCHEOUlE.-There Will be
a change Of schedule January / on the
Phoenix & Eastern railroad in ac-
cordance with which the trains VIII
run as follows, Southern Pacific time.
which is a half hour slower than
Phoenix time. In the morning at
7:20 a train win leave Mesa City, ar
irving in Phoenix at o'clock. AT y
o'clock a train will leave for Winkel-
man. arriving there at 1910. Return
ing it will leave Winkelman at l
O'Clock and reach Phoenix at AS.
The Mesa train will then leave Phoe-
nix at $50. arriving at Mesa at 6:lO.
The change will reverse the Winkel-
man service. making the night stop
in Phoenix instead of Winkelman, and
II will have the effect of giving south
siders a train to and from Phoenix
eafly each forenoon and late each at
ternoon, thus satisfying a demand that
has been made for a long time. The
early train from the southside VIII
enable Tempe and Mesa residents to
get to Phoenix before court and school
time in the morning, and business men
from the southside may come down on
the afternoon train. all returning on
the evening train. The time schedule
has not been printed yet and yet the
hours given above may not be exact,
but they are within probably five min
utes of the exact time. so patrons may
know approximately what the new
( schedule will be.
