 The trouble with vaudeville service heretofore has been the fact that Phoenix is not on direct or main line of the railroads. Managers who are conservative do not route their best attractions or even their second rate teams over branch lines
 With the advent of the Western as sociations booking. towns in this part of Arizona immediately become try ing out grounds for Orpheum attrac- tious and a field for those teams rep resenting the best of the newer acts which are continually being worked up by the big agencies.

STRIKE SITUATION.
How Chicago Pressmen View Condi-
 tlons Prevailing There.

Local pressmen have received from the pressmen's union of Chicago d statement of the causes and condi- tiOns of the pressmen's and stereo- typers' strike as viewed from the standpoint of the union. The state ment alleges. in brief. that the Am CTican and Examiner. of Chicago are chiefly responsible for the strike. It iS alleged these papers sought to take advantage of the rights and privi- leges of the Publishers association, to which the other Chicago dailies have long belonged. when they were not entitled to those rights and privileges.
 It is also denied that the strikers intended breaking their contracts. Further. attention is called to the fact that the Chicago papers are now employing non union Workmen to take the places of those who have given up their employment.
 Professor Phelps -"Bily- informs the Yale Alumni Weekly that at Can nes he ran across Rev. Secretary An son Phelps Stokes, and went motor ing with him. one afternoon, he says, Stokes and 1 went over to Monte Carlo, where every prospect pleases and only man is vile.
