WILL WORK FOR LOWER RATES

The business men of Tucson
have gone to work in earnest for
lower freight rates. That city has
been seriously handicapped by
freight discrimination, and it is
proposed to apply remedy for
the evil if one can be found. Last
Sundays Star says:
"The movement for better
freight rates which was inaugu-
rated by the chamber of commerce
is successful and within the short
space of two weeks the sum of
$4,000 has been raised for the pur-
pose of defraying the expenses OF
compiling the freight rates now in
effect, and drawing comparisons
between long and short hauls in
other localities and the charge of
similar traffic between Los Angeles
and Tucson and FL Paso and
Tucson.
"Upon the completion of the
data it is the present intention
that committee from the Tucson
chamber of commerce will journey
to San Francisco to lay the COM
plants before the proper Southern
Pacific officials and failing to Sc.
cure proper redress the next move
will be to lay the entire matter
before the interstate commerce
commission at Washington and
have a day set for hearing OF
both sides of the question.
"a member of the chamber of
commerce stated yesterday that
it was the intention to take up the
matter of reduced freight rates for
Tucson with the S. P. officials in a
friendly manner, but that if the
present rates remained in force,
following the reductions made on
the Il. 2. & S. w. points, the
wholesale industry of Tucson
would be seriously injured"

The territorial board of equali-
zation in session at Phoenix fixed

WE ARE INDICATED

Two months ago THE GUARDIAN
stated that the Clifton Advocate
was in debt for its plant, and was
likely to lose its paraphernalla. A
committee comprising G, W. Viii.
liams, Jr., and Walter Doudna,
Socialists of Clifton, investigated
our charge and declared it was
untrue over their signatures in
the Advocate.
During the Miners Congress in
Globe last week the following is a
portion of the proceedings, report
ed by the Globe Belt:
"Politlcs again came up in con-
sidering the resolution of the
Clifton union that financial sup
port be given the Advocate so that
it could publish Spanish edition,
The committee recommended that
the various locals appoint press
committees, who would see to the
selling of stock for the Clifton
paper and "rustle" subscriptions.
The recommendation was opposed
by Delegates Lundgard and Har-
ner, who contended that the Ad-
vocate was run by a political
party, the Socialists, and that as
sistance should be withheld for
tba, reason Delegate Haberbosh, ,
q member of the committee, sup
ported the recommendation, stat.
ing that the paper was in debt for
its plant and that Spanish edition
was necessary so that they might
cover the field, He also stated
that the paper, while a socialist
organ, stood primarily for indus,
trial unionism and merited the
support of the working class.
More discussion being imminent
and time for adjournment having
arrived, the matter was deferred
until this morning"
The charge made by The GUAR
DIAN is therefore corroborated by
expert witnesses. Messrs. Will
liams and Doudna must now ad-
nit our charge was true, or that
the speakers misrepresented the
situation. Is this your much
vaunted Socialism, gentlemen,
which you claim stands for truth
and justice? Or does your doctrine
mean that you make one state
ment to your friends aud another
to the public with intent to de-
ceive the latter? Avast with such
rotten creed! The people will
have none of 1t.
1t is time to call either Messrs.
Williams and Doudna or Delegate
Haberbosh to account.

A novel of unusual power opens
the September number of the
Smart Set. 1t is called "Thc Vel
low Stigma" by John Harwood
Bacon. A young man, through a
series of curious circumstances, is
led to believe that he is a, Eurasian
and the taint upon his birth brings
him constant mental anguish. HIS
love for beautiful American girl,
and his manly sacrifice, form the
keynote of u dramatic story; how
he comes to a knowledge of the
truth is told by Mr.. Bacon in a
remarkably graphic manner. Read.
ers Of The Smart Set are fortunate
in having so splendid a piece of

THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE

For various reasons, including
recognition of the union, shorter
hours and higher salaries, an order
was issued during the past week
directing strike of all the West
ern Union and Associated Press
telegraph operators in the United
States, Canada and Mexico. The
order was generally complied with
and the result is that the tele-
graphic business of the country
has been paralyzed. Iu all the
large cities the tick of the keys is
hushed in the stiffness of death
and the messages are being piled
up by the million. The owners Of
these companies state they cannot
afford to comply with the demands
of the operators and the operators
state that they have millions of
dollars and many other unions
back of them. 1t therefore looks
as though long and determined
struggle was IN sight-with the
public as sufferers, as usual. The
strike indicates how vast and how
necessary feature of business life
the telegraph system has become,
as the financial aud commercial
interests of the country are being
seriously affected. The people
will unite in the hope that the
strike will be speedily ended. And
in the meantime, if any influences
can be utilized to reach whichever
side is in the wrong, they should
be used at once.
We have no doubt but the oper-
ators are overworked and under
paid. This is only too often the
case. Further, we believe the
great companies could amply af.
ford to accord more generous treat
ment to their employees, and it is
doubtless in the power Of the OPP
orators to seriously injure the busi-
ness OF the companies by perfectly
lawful means. In these days of
high prices, the corporations
should consider as iayorably as
