cause, fire, flood or strike, the copper output would continue undiminishe1 for long time.
 Just put it down that there will be no strike, nor other labor disturbance for two great reasons, namely:
 c First, the companies are too strong to be seriously affected by a strike and too fair in their dealings with their men to give just cause for a strike.
 Second, the men have no intention of striking, and unIon leaders posi- lively deny any intention of striking
 Business men of the entire section should go right along doing business with every confidence in its stability, and the only preparations they need make is to keep up with the rapid growth of business in all lines in Ei Paso and in this portion of Arizona.
 The fact that these companies have kept up the production of copper dur ing the greatest depression in Amerl- can financial history without reducing wages from a "hign water" mark, which is a matter of protest from aI- most every other producing company in America, is a guarantee that with better market conditions the entire district is going to make wonderful progress ill a business way.

 DECIDES TO
 PAY THE RENT
Maricopa Board of Superyis- ors Secures Increase of Rental From Federal 0ffic- CTS Despite Protests.

PHOENIX, Dec. 15.-(SpeciaL)- )- Not until Monday morning did the board of supervisors make it known that they had triumphed gloriously over United States Marshal Ben Dan iels in their recent controversy over the annual rental to be paid for the second floor of the courthouse. which is used by feGsnal officials for court quarters. @
 In addition to getting an increase of $200 per year over what was pre- viously received, the supervisors fore ed the department of justice in Wash ington, to come in with an additional s1O0 per year, which the department did as graciously as possible when it learned that Maricopa's supervisors had the backbone to tell the whole government what was what.
 Originally Maricopa county received $9O0 per year for the rent of the sec ond floor. When the lease expired last summer. the board decided to in crease this, and so informed United States Marshal Ben Daniels, who re- piled in so many words that Maricopa would never get the increase and that he would see that it didn't.
 Supervisors Orme, Hoghe and Stew art replied that the United States could either take the second floor at s1l00 per year or leave it alone. Mr. Daniels intimated that the government would move out, going so far as to inspect the O'Neill hall, city hall and other buildings as prospective quart. CTS
 When the government failed to ac- cept the s1100 proposition, Chairman Orme informed them that on and after that date the rental would be S100 per month until the squabble was settled, and that whena new lease was signed it would be at the increas. ed rate of S1200 per year.
 Finally the government did sign the new lease at S1200 per year, and when Marshal Daniels informed the board that this would be done, he made the statement that he was not at fault for the controversy, but that the de Dartment was in the fault.
 To save Marshal Daniels any fur their publicity and humiliation, the board of supervisors without good reason decided to keep the signing of the contract aud the settlement of the controversy from the public.
 The manner in which the supervis- ors triumphed over the United States government leaked out this morning when Clerk Thomas received a notice from Washington that the rent for the month of September had been for warded to Phoenix.
 Though the controversy was settled several weeks ago some neODle have recently had Marshal Daniels leasing the second floor of the city hall for federal court quarters. Daniels dis missed the whole matter from his mind some time ago.

BURGLARS IN PHOENIX MAKE
 4 s50 HAUL
They Entered Goldman Store and Carried Away RevoIverS, RazorS and Knives and Left Their Xii of Tools.

PHOENIX. Dec. Special. )- Leaving their kit of tools as thefr cnly clue on which the officers nave to work out a solution of the identity of the guilty parties, burglars entered the Goldman store. on South Cenlral street, and carried away reyolyers, rzi- zors and knives to the value of $50.
 An entrance was effected through the rear of the building, by. climbing over door that enters into an alley wey, and then by breaking the glass in door that opens into the rear of the store.
 As Manager Jim Shott could best estimate today the thieves carried away i've dozen knives, nine revolvers ana two dozen rszors. picking the best grade of,goods in the store. It is pos sible they took more, but this can nUt yet be determined.
 When the store was opened in the morning the kit of burglars tools, in cluding chisel. plyers, file, hammer and screwdriyer, were found lyi~v n the floor near tle door in which the glass was broken. This leads to the belief that the burglars were scared away, and did not have time to gather up their tools.
 That there were two men concerned in the Fobbery appears to be faIrts well established, by reason of one ot the bartenders in the Bank Exchange saloon, who happened to arise abOu> ? o'clock this morning, seeing tw, men standing near the rear of the Goldman store.
 The bartender saw them twice, but supposed they were police officers, ana paid no attention to them. In all probability these were the two men who committed the robbery just after the bartender saw them.
 No attempt was made to break open the safe. A small amount Of silver of small denomination in one of the cash drawers was not molested, and it is evident that the thieves were in search of articles that could be soIn later.
 Ter years ago the Goldman store was robbed of knives and reyolvers valued at $500. These were recover ed. and the thief caught at Casa Gran de shortly after the robbery took

SALOON KEEPER WAS
 BEATEN AND ROBBED
Suffers Fracture Of Skull and Loses One Hundred Dollars
 h Money.

PHOENIX, Dec. l5.-Joe Felicita, proprietor of the Porto Rica saloon at the corner of Second and Jackson streets. was held up by an unknown man while he was on the way bone Sunday morning, at 1920 o'clock, struck over the head with a bar of iron or steel, felled and robbed of two checks, aggregating S29.G6. A purse containing over $100 and a quantity of silver in his pockets were not taken owing to the speedy action necessary to enable the highwayman to get away, which he did successfully. Felicita suffered a fracture of the skull though he was not rendered un- conscious by the blow. He was taken to the Sisters hospital yesterday, where he was operated upon by Dr. Cameron
 It has been the practice of FeIicita to have s- considerable sum of money at the Porto Rico on Saturday nights that he may cash the checks of his patrons aud the police have warned him that he should inform them when he leaves for home that an officer might be ,n the near vicinity, for the reason that a particularly hard bunch
 
 house of revelry. He resides on Blu ,chanan street between Center and First streets and after closing his place left soon after midnight for his home. He went west to First street, then south toward Buchanan and was within half block of his home when he saw man approaching. He took no special notice of him until he was quite close, when the stranger raised his iron weapon and made sweep at him. Felicita stepped back enough to dodge the blow, but the second one caught him on the left side of the forehead to point above the ear.
 Felicita yelled as the first blow was aimed at him and his voice attracted the attention of an Indian who is serving the sheriff as deputy and who was some distance away. The deputy went to his assistance as quickly as possible and the thug fear ing the early arrival of someone made a very nasty search of Joe's pockets, grabbed the cheeks. overlooked the purse, did not bother with the silver, dropped the metal bar and ran into the alley running east from First street. ii 'EsRW
 Yesterday morning Marshal Moore called at the home of FeIicita to see him before he was taken to the hos pital. He could give little information concerning the incident not recited above, except that he believed his assaiiant was a white man..
 The checks taken had been issued by the government and cashed by Joe One was for $Is.56. dated Dec. 13. and made payable to Rafael Salazar. The other was dated Dec. 12. payable to " Lopez, and was for s10.5e.

suffering and poverty to thousands oi men. women and children now happy and contented, and this alone would make men pause in . course of de struetion did any desire really exist to cause trouble. But, if the fact thas every laboring condition (wages hours, surrounding conditions. prompt ness of pay, etc.) is satisfactory, is not sufficient guarantee against a possible strike, those timid business men who profess such fear in their business dealings should take conf dence in the strength of the com panies operating in the district.
 Those with knowledge of labor con ditions in the southwest are weli aware of the fact that the Copper Queen and c. & A. companies, operat- ing at Bisbee, could put between 5000 and 1000 men at work in their mnies within two weeks from the call, ana that they are too strong, in every way, for a strike to affect them beyond a few days of slight embarrassment. The companies are further strength ened by the paying of wages. volun- tarily, far in advance Of what a union scale would be after even successful strike.
 And it must be remembered, all the time, that union men declare wages, hours and conditions satisfactory, and union leaders positively deny any ana all stribS rumors-
 In face of these conditions all strike rumors should be repudiated as false on their face

UNION SCALE MEANS LOWER
 WAGES; NJ DANGER IF STRIKE

A correspondent ct the Fl Paso Times writes the following from His bee to that paper:
 The reports being circulated in this citS, Douglas and Fl Paso of a pro posed strike of members of the Vest ern Federation of Miners are positive. Iy denied by union men in a position 10 know. and this denial is supported by the fact that 30 far as officials or any Of the companies operating here know there is absolutely no dlssatis- faction among their oen. Every union man spoken to says there is no in- eentlon Of striking, because there is no benefit to be derived from a strike, and a careful investigation of condi- tions has resulted in such a showing as fully supports these union men m their denials of the strike rumor.
 The scale of wages paid in Bisbee by the Copper Queen company, the principal operating company in the district, is on a basis of eight hours work. as follows:
 Miners, trammers, muekers and all men going underground, $3.50 per shift; first motion engineers, S5 per shift: two-motion engineers, S4.50 per shift; shaft men. S4; timbermen. s4.
 A union man points out the fact that miners are paid more than in ali similar camps with like conditions, with the shortest hours of labor ever demanded by organized labor in any mining country. If tEe company con- lined itself to a uni:m scale the wages of hammers, muckers and other un derground men wound be reduced from 50 cents to $1 a shift. and as the ma jorfty of men employee in the mines of the company w--Id be the suffer CTS from regular scale there is not going to be any strike
 The actual conditions as to wages and hours are as given above, and should forever dispose of strike ru- mors. The only possible excuse for a strike is desire to unionize the mines. which, according to the men interested, is not desired by them as long as the wages paid the majority of the men working in the mine are far in advance of what they would be under a union scale. These conditions should inspire every business man in terested with confidence in the stabili- ty of the present prosperous condi- tionS
 1t is freely admitted. and it is a fact, that a strike, if successful Tn closing the mines for any length or time would paralyZe business in every town in southern Arizona, and bring

No action was taken at the special meeting of the city council Saturday evening other than it was decided to stand pat on the assessment roll as it stood and let anyone that wanted to pay their taxes under protest. In case suit should be brought they could un- doubtedly beat the city but it would only mean that they would have to pay double taxes next year
 In speaking of threatened injunc- ton proceedings, Mayor Greene said:
 T do not believe our citizens would be short-sighted enough to do this They would injure the city, injure their own property. which would de preciate in consequence, and would check all public improvements for a year. We have the best and cleanest streets of any city in the territory the best fire department and the low. est taxes and l consider any citizen who would take advantage of a mere technicality to postpone the payment of his taxes for year, merely to post .pone the inevitable, and to do so at the expense of the public veal, is an undesirable citizen"
