A statement was issued last evening | by Manager Mitchell in which he said: "I would have been ready to talk with the men this morning had it not 1 been for the fact that the situation was quite different than it was when I asked them to wait until today be fore l gave them an answer on their first communication. I received thI expected letter from Los Angeles this morning but before it's arrival I was
 placed in the position, with the filing Of
 a second petition, of being obliged tO
 again present a matter to the owners for consideration. This second petition
 called upon me to recognize the union and establish a new wage rate. This
 could not do without first laying tho matter before the owners in Los An geles.
 When the committee came and asked that I meet with them I was not in. and even under the circumstances which have since arisen I would have been inclined to receive the committee and state my position to them clearly
 An error crept into an afternoon paper yesterday with relation to the wages the railway company has been paying. It was stated that as low as seventeen cents an hour is paid to new hands. This is not true The wages paid are twenty cents an hour during the first years period of employment. twenty-two cents an hour with one day off each month during the second year and tWentY-four cents thereafter.
 Beginning tomorrow I expect tC make every effort to operate cars. I believe I will be able to accomplish this if l am given the police protec- tion I have requested. I know that Chief of Police Moore has but few extra men but I understand that he expects to be able to provide a suffi- Cient force to enable me to carry out my purpose. In the meantime I aln hoping for a speedy reply to my con- munication to Los Angeles"

Chairman Owen of the senate com mittee both conferred with the pre- sident after he delivered his address and both prepared for the early in troduction of the administration cur rency bill which is now being revis- ed in some minor features of it's phraseOlogy. The bill will go into both houses this week.
 The first authoritative statement on the presidents message from d critical standpoint came from Re- publican Leader Mann of the house. He said the message was a fine "ex- ample of classical English but there was nothing more to it, unless il be considered as a threat that patron age will be withheld until the bank ing and currency bill is passed"
 Representative Mann criticised the bill as stolen from the Aldrich monetary report with few radical provisions taken from the Bryan platform mixed in"

 In the council last evening Mayor Christy. with the approval of council directed that the police see that there were no gatherings on the sidewalks or on the streets of the strikers or sym pathizers. It means that a general move on order will be in effect begin ming this morning. Mayor Christy in CidentaIy counseled the carmen that they should avoid all semblance of dis order. assuring them that thereby they can feel more certain of gaining and retaining the sympathy of the people of Phoenix in their struggle for a bet rerment of their working conditions.
 The application of Manager Mitchell for three policemen on each car was not acted upon by the council. although there was some discussion. Men rep resenting the trades council objected 10 the placing of three policemen on each car on the ground that ultimately these officers would be acting as mo- tOrrnen and conductors. It was pointed out that the carmen and their sym pathizers did not wish to appear as antagonistic to the police in any way, in fact preferring that friendly rela- tions between the police and the union men be continued.
 4 statement appeared in an afternoon
 
 carmen objected very strongly. this be- ing to the effect that the Phoenix trades council had contracted with two automobile drivers to operate their cars at ten cents per passenger to points within the city reached by the street car lines. It was stated last ev- ening that no such contract had been made and was not contemplated. Two cars. it was stated, were operated yes terday by drivers not in any way con nected with the trades council.
 Today 8 meeting of the trades coun- cil and the rental cars chauffeurs will be held at which time an appeal will be made to the latter that they insti- tute a service, esta blishing a reasonable rate for carrying passengers to points in the city. These cars will not be un der contract but will operate at the will of the chauffeurs. It is a movement calculated to relieve the situation as far as the transportation problem is concerned and it is felt by the carmen will tend to make conditions mora bearable on the part of the public until the regular car service :s resumed.
 Rumors were again prevalent yester- day that strikebreakers were being inn ported from Los Angeles. This was again denied from the offices of the company and no strikebreakers arrived.
