ONE HELPER FOR
EACH ELECTRICIAN
Ordinance Committee Recon-
mends Measure Limiting
Unskilled Labor.

The Council Committee on Ordinances
last night voted unanimously to re-
commend 10 the Council for passage an
ordinance amending the present city
electrical regulations TO provide that
hereafter, before an electrical contrac-
tor or firm of contractors shall be- given
license To conduct the electrical bust
ness, he or a member OF his firm shall
have passed satisfactorily the eXami-
nation prescribed for electrical work
ers by the present law.
Another new clause embodied in the
amended ordinance provides that il
shall be unlawful for any electrical con-
tractor TO work more than one helper
OF apprentice for each electrician work
ed by him on any job or contract"
The helper" clause is aimed at the
practice of assigning number OF un-
skilled men to 4 job under the super
vision of single licensed electrician.
Licensed electricians who appeared be-
fore the committee last night directed
attention to the fact that such "A pro-
cedure, aside from the fact that it sup
plants expert electricians with un-
skilled laborcrs. results in irresponsi-
bic work for the reason that unframed
help is depended upon TO perform Il
task recurring special training.
An important new clause requires
contractors within twcnty-f four hours
OF the commencement of any Job TO fur
nish to the City Electrician a list of
tho names OF all electricians and OF all
helpers and apprentices who are to be
employed OH the job. Additional help.
II Is provided, shall be reported on the
same day that it is employed
Other amendments require private
corporations employing regularly their
own electricians to employ only regu-
larly licensed men, and provide n fine
of from 60 to s25, at the discretion of
the Police Court. for the violation OF
any Of the provisions OF the amended
law

His title will be official referee" in all cases of dispute, and ne will have the deciding vote in case there is a tie among the other four members He will act in the capacity of mediator in case there are any protests of meets or of games. and at all times he will be duly respected in his sug- gestions.

 The constitution will. when it is finished. include in the valley league all the high schools that have applied for admission. These are Mesa, Tempe, Glendale and Phoenix.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 NEW YORK, Dec 13.-PreSident Eb- bets of Brooklyn believes that the S10.- GOO consideration offered to Shortstop Joe Tinker, bought Friday from Gin cinnati will alter his announced de- termination not to play anywhere eX- cept Chicago or Pittsburg.
 The S25,0OO offer for Tinker if con summated will be the largest outright cash amount ever paid for any baseball player. It is also the first recorded instance in which a player has shared so largely in the sum paid for him. The conditional agreement will hold good only in case Tinker gives his consent to play a majority of the games.
 The PittsburgSt. Louis deal, which was unheralded by rumor and supplies new berths to several Cardinals who Were said to be dissatisfied, brings about an exchange of the major DOT tiOn of the infield of each club. Konetchy, declared By many baseball followers to be second only in rank to Daubert among National league first sackers. has long desired to play with team with prominent cham ricn possibilities. according to re- pOrts. and Harmon also has wanted .I transfer. Barney Drevfuss, who an nounced the deal tonight, is confident that the infusion of new blood means rebuilding of the old Pirate ma chine that won two pennants and the worlds title in three years. On the other hand. the St. Louis club gets Robinson, a sensational pitcher rank ing with Harmon. together with q seasoned outfieder ana two youthful infielders to take Konetchy's place at first.
 Manager McGraw has been noted for his willingness to let go of old players when assured they had man. agerial berths in view, hence his re- lease of Herzog.

From the time the regular season comes to q close till the training trips of the spring following, the stars of the diamond are helpless in the hands of the tsame's gossipers They are traded about in the most reckless fashion. If most of those present had read abcut a prominent star having given pass with the bases full he is sent to the minors in jiffy. Generally to taiI-end team at thl:.
 Baseball when first organized was only planned to occupy about seven months of our entire time and at tention. After it had got well under way, however. it was discovered that more time was needed for it's com plete enjoyment, and so the Winter Stove leagues were formed. It may be. as pointed out in the third grade reader that our friend the bear sleeps through the winter months, but this could never be said of base bail. It would take a large shot in the arm to put our national interest in the diamond diversion under an anesthetic.
 So we drop in and buy a few stosies and sign Cobb up to manage Tempe next season.
