STRIKERS HAVE BEEN
 OFFERED THEIR JOBS

PHOENIX, July That the strik-
 ing carmen will be permitted to re turn to work at higher wages, provid ed they drop their other demands, was the statement issued by Manager 5. H. Mitchell of the Phoenix Street Railway company last Monday.
 Manager Mitchell hopes that by to- borrow he will be able to announce what the higher wages will be. He did not seem to think that the com pany would be willing to make any other concessions.
 Manned by strike-breakers, five cars are operating in Phoenix. Three are on the Washington street line, one on the Brill line and one runs to the Indian school. On each of the three cars operated on Washington street are two officers deputiZed b! Chief of Police Moore and paid by the city. Mitchell states that he now hopes to have the officers on other cars. No violence has been attempt ed today.
 The heat is compelling a great many persons to use the cars. Even warm strike sympathizers were seen on the cars. The chances of any one becom- ing involved in riot because he rides on street car are now regarded as remote.
