STRIKE IS oN.-The biggest striI

STRIKE IS ON.-The biggest strike ever entertained in Phoenix. IL is at the Mission Buffet. It is one of those big wooden clocks. made for a novelty for display in public places, and tha chief feature of which is its simplicity and open work construction. One cal seems to be nothing secret about it ex- cept its conduct. Patrons and employees of the place insist that it is 'ha'nted." It has been hanging on the wall for several months and until recently its conduct was decorous and well behav- ed. Nobody ever knew it to break into conversation more vigorously than to sa-- tick" and the management heard that so often 1t aroused no in terest. The other day when it reach ed the half hour it began striking. not the single dash out of the box, but sev- eral times. Since then it strikes fre- quently at varying intervals and seem ingly without schedule or systen.. Sometimes it strikes three or fou- blows on the gong and sometimes 6 hundred. A day or two ago it became hysterical and slammed out 1iS strokes in succession. Those present were fearful it would not get through in time to begin again and there might be an explosion. but there wasn't. It is getting on the nerves of employees and patrons. A few days ago one party of Mission employees and their friends went to the mineral springs. They felt good, but it did not occur to them that the clock could be wrong and finding

move of the Westinghouse people and
a company backed by capital of $l0,-
100000 to build network of electric
