report of the committee on resolutions which it was expected would outline the preliminary work. The committee had met the night before. but it's task was slightly revised in the morning. While awaiting the report the mem bers of the conference congratulated one another on the success of the meeting Of the day before and they expressed their confidence that the era of good roads for Naricopa county had come at last It was now only a matter of putting the machinery in motion.
 The report was most favorably re- ceived MT. Hotchkiss of Glendale of fered an amendment. increasing the membership of the non-partisan ad- visory committee from five to seven, and that amendment was quickly ac- cepted by the members of the resolu- tions committee and was adopted by the conference. An amendment offered by Gus Nol1, increasing the bond issue from $1.250,00O, as recommended by the committee. to S1,500,000, was productive of the only discussion that followed the introduction of the report. Mr. NoH said that the estimates of the engineers had not included the matter of drain age anu WIlile Jlie eSllltetl6S hlu IlOl reach the proposed bond issue, it was notorious that estimates of public as well as private work always fell short of the actual cost.
 MT. Noll was supported by Warren Peterson of Arlington, who believed that the work should be undert aiken on a broader scope than had been laid down in the engineers report. He suggested that no harm could result from voting more bonds than might be needed-in that case they need not be sold and would become no obligation against the county.
 MT Heard of the committee ex- plained the reason for increasing the bond issue above the original proposi- tion. He said that the committee had made provision for better type of road between Glendale and Peoria and for an extension of the system to Lehi. It had appeared to the committee that the engineers estimate of the cost of roads of the first and second types were too high: that it was not neces- sary to make the roads so wide as were provided in the report. On the other hand, the engineers estimates of the cost of caliche roads was perhaps too low. MT Heard also called attention

 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.-Both as a private citizen, and as president of the California Railroad commission John NJ. Eshleman scored the Pullman system at the hearing before high of ficials of the Pullman company.
 T am convinced that much of the trouble with the Pullman company is due to the fact that it does not pay sufficient wages to it's employees, and practically compels them to make a living by getting the travelling public to dig up and come through.
 T am even prepared to say if the Pullman company would raise it's wage scale, and do away with abuses of the tipping system, the commission would be willing to listen to a fair raise in rates. As now operated, the man who rides in the Pullman is unable to ob- tain service unless he pays extra"
 He said a porter told him whatever else you do, don't touch our tips. We can't live without them.'
 Among the complaints were that berths are often sold twice and the upper let down whether occupied or not, shutting off ventilation from the lower; that conductors refuse to honor telegraphic orders, and that conduct ors hold out lowers and sell them to belated arrivals for substantial tips.

VIuy PaUed F0Y Good Roads System Bond Issue Of $1, ,25O GOO Agreed Jbom
 Provision F0Y Advisory C0Nlulittee

{ to the fact that the report of the com mittee made provision for drainage. Chairman Orme said that there need be no apprehension that the' cost of the system as a whole would exceed
 the figures of the engineers MT. Nol spoke of the cost of permanent cul- verts, which he assumed would be in stalled and wooden culverts would not be used. Nr Mouer of the board of supervisors assured him that wooden culverts were already out of date and that during the present administra tion only concrete or corrugated iron culverts had been used.
 Mir O'NeiIl spoke strongly against the proposed amendment. He be- lieved that a proposition to issue $1,25O GOO of bonds would carry. but so much opposition had been developed to any bond issue that he did not believe that more than that could be safely
 proposed. MT. Non withdrew his
 amendment and the report was adopted
 and followed by enthusiastic clapping
 of hands.
 State Engineer Cobb desired to be
 heard in connection with the report of
 the engineers, in which his assistant,
 MT. Barlow had joined It was not the
 intention of Mr Barlow, he said, nor
 did he believe that it was the intention of County Surveyor Thompson to rec
 ommend the various types of roads
 mentioned in their report. He under
 stood that they had merely been used
 by the engineers as a. basis for an esti-
 nation of the cost of a good roads
 system.

RELIGION BARRED
 FROM TRADE UNIONS
Many Important Resolu- tions Are Adopted, Among Them One Advocating Free Municipal Legal Blu reaus for Workingmen
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcH7

SEATTLE, Nov 19-The time is not ripe for the formation of a labor party. but trade unions should look forward to increasing political ac- tivity. The convention of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor today af- firmed this as it's position by a vote of 193 to 15.
 Two resolutions that brought up the religious question as influencing the formation of the Christian trade unions of Europe were speedily de- feated. the resolutions committee de- claring that nothing could be more injurious to the labor movement than the injection of sectarian religious matters
 The following resolutions were adopted Giving unqualified en- dOrsement' to the Colorado coal miners strike: instructing the execu- tive council to seek the endorsement of a tariff provision against cOnvict-made goods; condemning the so-called short courses in arts and crafts in high schools and advocat- ing real vocational training
 Other resolutions adopted were: Favoring the establishment of mum icipaI free legal advice bureaus to protect the working men from un- scrupulous lawyers; deprecating and condemning the practice of vending drugs and nostrums of any kind un- der the false promise that they will cure tuberculosis; instructing the eX- ecutive council to raise a fund to insure the success of the striking garment workers of St. Louis and Philadelphia; urging the working men in kindred trades to have their wage agreements with employers ex- pire the same day and expressing full sympathy with the Cigar Makers union in a protest against compe- tition with Mongolian and other oriental labor in the Philippine Is- lands.
 The latter resolution says half of the cigar factories in the Philippines are owned by Chinese who pay less than thirty cents a day for twelve hours work.

Appears All Negotiations Are Now Off Between Constitutionalist Lea q e r and Personal Representa- tive of Wilson
CREDENTIALS
 BOB UP AGAIN
Now Seems Carranza Was Only Making Play for Time and American En- voy Wanted Prompt and Decisive Answers
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

 MORALES, Nov. 19.-Commander- in-chief Carranza of the constitution alists left this afternoon on a special train for the south. This. coupled with the departure later in the day Of Will liOm Bayard Hale, who acted as Presi- dent Wilson's spokesman during the week, evidently closed the dealings between the Mexican insurgents and the American administration. Upon entering the interior of Sonora, Car ranza's first act will be to repay social debt.
 The special train which conveyed him and his staff and newspaper cor respondents stopped for the night at Magdalena. midway between NogaIes and Hermosilo, the state capital. There Carranza planned to give q ball to the townspeople in payment of one rendered him recently. He said the train will proceed tomorrow for Her mosilo
 Hale left Nogales at a late hour to- night. probably for Tucson. Escudero and BoniIla, members of Carranza's s cabinet, were unaware of his depart ure. It is evident the constitutional ists don't regard their relations with President Wilson's envoy as suspend ed, in spite of their talk of formal rec ognition and the presentation of full credentials by Hale. It seemed clear tonight that they have engaged the characteristic Latin tactics.
 The Carranza train was scheduled to leave at F o'clock, but it was 3:45 o'clock before it pulled out, and then Eucudero and Bonilla were not aboard. Immediately afterwards. Bonilla called to see Hale at the consulate. It is sur missed that the constitutionalsts con- findentally expected q message from the American representative. None came. Hale had apparently made his last communication to the constitution alsts and made it clear that he would deal with nobody but Carranza him. self
 Apropos Of Escuderos statement re- garding the credentials last night, the truth seems quite different. The ques- tiOn of credentials was a mere subter- fuge to cover Carranza's unwilling ness to answer certain questions pro- posed by President Wilson, it is said Carranza had evaded these. and then absented himself from two conferences on flimsy excuses and Hale declined to continue without Carranza. Thereupon
 
 questions to writing, promising they would be discussed at a full cabinet meeting and written answer returned Hale, it is understood. replied the sug- gestion was a mere play for delay Hale made it plain he expected to do busi- ness directly and deal frankly face to face with Carranza, and demanded an authoritative and immediate answer to the presidents inquiries
 The leaders carried the American ultimatum to Carranza, and then in- vented a story of demand for creden- tIals to explain the rupture. Referring to Escudero's story of the informalf- ties of the conference it was learned today that Hale had difficulty in dis suading the Carranza government from receiving Hale in state in the municipal hall. attended with all the formalities of court.

POWER COMPANIES
ASK RATE INCREASE

Local residents were perturbed last
week when a dispatch from Salem
brought the news to this city that the
the local power companies, the Hood
River Gas & Electric Co. and the
Hydro Electric Co., had asked the
Public Utilities Commission that they
be permitted to raise their rates here.
BY the recently enacted public utilities
bill, the companies have been in
structed by the commission to install
meters. The Gas & Electric Co. have
already installed some of the meters,
and the Hydro Co. will soon begin the
work.
Both companies are frank in admit
ting heavy losses because of the com
petition they have entered into and
because of the fiat rate basis on which
they have been operating. The Hood
River Gas 4 Electric Co. declares that
its net loss since it began operation in
competition with the Hydro Co. has
been $38, ,633 56. while it is unable to
collect $500 from bad customers.
Both companies aver that they need
the meters to prevent determinations.
since the majority of their patrons have
taken advantage of the flat rate to in
stall more lights than they would have
been entitled to under the meter rate.
The petition of the Hood River Gas
& Electric Co, shows low rate for ir-
rigation pumps and an exceedingly low
rate for refrigerating and milling sys-
tens.
The Hydro Company shows that its
total collections have been So, 749. .S5,
while IL is capitalized for $3.50, 900 with
$3.50, 900 paid up.
A meeting of number of represen-
tative citizens was held at the rooms
of the Commercial club Monday even
ing. when it was decided to take some
concerted actionsto prevent an unreas-
enable increase in the rates here. The
sentiment prevailed that the rates of
the Hydro Electric Co. were not too high
at the present time. At meeting of
the board of directors of the club Tues
day night a communication was sent to
the Railroad Commission asking that
the date for the hearing set for March
81 be postponed. in order that the citi-
zens might have more time to prepare

Will the combination of the apple

Many think that this is inevitable.

the basis that the central agency shall
sell the local apples. Numerous sug-
