 Instructions have been received in
 Phoenix by w S. Goldsworthy agent for the Santa Fe in this state, to re- fuse employment to all applicants in Arizona. California and New Mexi- co will furnish men desired, the local offices making acquisition on agents in those states for such employees as they may need.
 This statement from the railroad company main offices followed the proclamation of Governor Hunt mak- ing operative the law which the peo- pie of the state voted to place in the statutes of the state, and which on .he ballot was known as the anti blacklisting" bill The action of the company shows that the passing of the bill was not alone detrimental to the laboring element of the state but that young men in this state who wish a chance to enter the railroad game, whether on the train crew or in the offices, have no opportunity even to start out in the profession or employment choice or inherited in stinct might direct In addition, the railroader from other states in this state is more than handicapped should he be out of job.
 Another of the perversities of the element which propagated the bill is immediately brought to mind by the action of the railroad company. This Is the argument which was used by the packers of the Full Crew Law" another of the labor bills introduced into the statutes of the state by the Arizona State Federation of Labor. and the result on the supposed ad- vantages which the full crew law was to bring to the laboring man of the state.
 By the full crew law the young men of Arizona, the youths who have been reared m Arizona's boundaries, said the bill boosters, would have more opportunity for employment. To force the railroads to carry full crews would not alone bring more safety but would provide more jobs.
 Then comes along the force which knocks down the little palace of jobs for Arizona's youths, and the same men who had SO nicely built up their additional employment assurances pass another law which completely denies the coming men and citi- zens of the state a right to work on one of the largest railroads operating in its boundaries.
 This is but the latest of the con -rary effects which the labor element las overlooked in the passage of heir anti-blacklist law Prior to the election in the argument against the pill published by the state, c. A. Mauk, of Phoenix pointed to the fact  hat the pension system now opera i've in the state will probably be abandoned because of the effect of he law. At present there is some ground for belief that the same holds rue in regard to the old age and pension bill passed in the ast election, and that the anti-black- ist and pension bill will so conflict n making operative the last that one IT the other will have to be thrown side.
 Summed up. the action of the rail oad company is demonstration of he truth of pre-election arguments gainst several of the bills which we their creation to Bert Davis and he Arizona Federation of Labor The old age and mothers pension ill, and the eighty per cent bill have ready demonstrated that they are etrimental to labor. and are but dded testimony to the most convinc- lg argument of the railroad com any in ordering that no more Ari- onans shall work for them.
