 Editor

The labor unions of the city of Phoe- nix are to have an official organ edit ed and published by the central labor body, which will be published weekly.

The first issue will be off the press about May next, and will be in the form of a specially illustrated num- Der, containing forty eight pages, pro- fusefy illustrated, and filled with ar ticles of interest to the labor men of the city.
 The weekly editions of the journal will be kept up to date and will contain all the news of interest to the mem- berS of the organization There will also be from time to time numbers of articles on live topics of the day that will be of interest to many peo- pie not affiliated with organized labor. These articles will be contributed by writers whose names are synonyms for authoritative statement. The paper is to be a model of neatnesS and of the printers and pressmen's art, if the present plans of the organization back of the movement do not miscarry

 The Hurley Market is one of the well equipped meat markets of Phoenix. It was but a year ago that the Hurleys rebuilt the interior of the market and installed splendid modern sanitary equipment
 The new owners are well known in Phoenix where they have lived for the past twenty years and are energetic young business men, and it is predict ed they will make d greater success now than ever, in the meat market line. They announced that they will main tain every standard that has been set by either the Independent Meat Mar llet and the Hurley Market and will make the same deliveries throughout tn city, except that the first morning delivery will be made thirty minutes earlier than heretofore.

Numerous stories of footing are told and many prisoners have been taken and locked up. Repeated revolver shots in the night gave rise to reports of desperate houSeholders who shot themselves rather than suffer death by drowning. When some shots were traced, how ever, they proved to have been fired in an effort to attract rescuerS.

| LEGISLATIVE
 STRIKE |S 0N
Clerks and Attaches of Sen ate Refuse to Work More Than Eight Hours Per Day Without Extra Pay for Their Services

The body of the senate of the state of Arizona presented a peculiar appearance last night. Spectators in the gallery found the dignlfied and energetic president acting as secretary the gentleman from Maricopa, Sena- tor Davis, was acting as reading clerk, while the gentleman from Gila, Senator Hechtman acted aS president of the organization. The whole re- organization was caused by the re
 fusal of the attaches, and clerks to attend the night sessions. In fact there was legislative strike in evi- dence Whoever heard of a strike in d legislative body? Nobody, vet there was one in full force even if not in effect last night.
 The meet of the matter is that the clerks of the senate refuse to work more than eight hours without extra
 pay The house some time since in
 trOduced a resolution commenting the work of the clerks of the house and
 resolving that when extra time is re-
 quired over and above the eight hours,
 that the clerks be paid overtime for it The senate however did not take
 the same stand and after several
 caucusettes on the subject, it was decided by the revcred sOlons of the upper house that they would stand pat on the proposition and pay no overtime.
 This is the place in the action of
 the story where occurred the parting of the ways The senate decided to hold d night session last night but the clerks gently hinted that they would not be on hand. The gentle hint was not enough however to keep l the togo wearers from doing what 1 they said they would do, so the ses-
 sion was held without any clerks. All l of them staid away, from the secre-
 tary Con P. Cronin, to the youngest
 assistant All the work. technical
 mental. physical, had to be done by i the senators. There was no one to | fetch, and no one to carry.
 What the situation will be this i morning, if anything will be said l about the matter in open meeting, ol 1 if all the senators will keep theil 1 feelings to themselves and let the l vlerks and attaches return to theil 1 day time duties, could not be tolo | last night. Some of the folks in com menting upon the matter, however | talked airily of consistency, and want l ed to know why the senate should pass an eight hour resolution early | in the session and then refuse to pay ! for overtime when the ragged end | Of the session is showing up. Others l thought that if the house could re | solve to pay the clerks of the house | for overtime, the senate could dc
 the same.
 There is one thing about the situa- 1 tion that is patent to all the regular visitors of the state house, and thai

WORK 0F '. N. LA.
 AT PANAMA CANAL
". N. Windes of Tempe Tells of Work of Association in the Big
 Ditch Section.

The Young Mems Christian Associ- ation is the most efficient eXcavator on the big ditch today, and without it, Uncle sam could not have promised the opening of the Panama Canal for the year 1915"
 w N. WindeS, a former resident of Tempe but for seven years a member of the office force on the Panama ca nal at Gatum returned the other day for long visit, or for good, if he can persuade anyone here of his Superla- tive worth. Starting as a stenographer seven years ago, WindeS left the ser vices of the canal commission a few weeks ago an important member of the accounting work. His position in this force was peculiarly suited for his ob- servation of life among the workers on the big trench, and the above quoted statement may be taken for solid fact
 The government found one of it's greatest problems in the keeping of Americans to do the gang boSSing, the running of engines and steam ShoVelS and such like jobs It was next to i'm possible to keep a full force on hand. Negroes, MeXicans. Portuguese, labor CTS of nearly every nationality except United States were willing to work on the canal. But the job of overseer or semi expert such as locomotive and shovel engineers was always going begging. It was better to employ Americans for these jobs but until the canal commission awoke to a few facts no one could be kept on the payroll
 Finally the commission built club house and turned its management over to the '. NJ. C. A. Immediately on the completion of the first building. five others were started, showing that the need was there The Y NJ c. A. has well acquitted itself of the trust re- posed in it. The association has kept the American on the job
 Not only single men but married men as well are members. The insti-
 tuition is just like those here except there is no swimming pool. Billiards, bowling, gymnasiums, reading rooms. dormitOries and offices are at the ser vice of the members. and they are all well patronizcd. Religious work is slightly neglected. but then there is little demand for it on the construction job, anywhere. Of the 5000 natives of the United States at work in the canal zone, 2,500 are members of the six as sociations. The six club houses are situated at COrazaI, Culebra. Empire, Gorgona. Cristobal, Gatun and Porto Bello
 "The date for opening the canal was set by the commission at January 1, 1 1915. But Col. GOethals has said he will send the first ship through next
 October There is just one thing to 1 hinder, and that is the slides The deep
 cuts are all danger spots for the great | earth slides, which make millions of 1 yards of extra excavation necessary. l This may delay the trial passage of the ship. There is a saying on the canal 1 that the first ship ought to carry Ex- | president Taft If he could get through, anybody could"

is that the large number of the clerks and attaches certainly earn their money They work as hard as it is possible to work on the copying of bills, ,engrossing of bills, preparing new bills copying reports and all that sort of thing, so that when their eight hours is up they are tired and ready to quit.
 It is funny situation made more so by the fact that some of the strik- ing ones have said that they won't resign but will hold on to their jobs until the axe falls.
