O'NE|LL FORCE BUSY
 WITH NEW AUTO LINES
Shipments Of Maxwells and Chalmers Have Been Received-Some New
 Ideas in Late Touring Cars

Two carloads of the wonder car the Maxwell "25" and a carload of the new 1915 Chalmers were received at the O'Neill garage last week. This means that Tom Trent and his salesmen have to go some, but Tom says it's easy to sell cars like the Maxwell and the Chalmers. To hear him tell it, the two cars were each in a class by themselves and at the head of the class. The Max well has lot of fine points and Trent knows 'em all by heart. When it comes to mileage records he points to the rec ord that A. K. Stacy made with his Maxwell touring car, exactly 26 miles to the gallon of gasoline. This is most economical and bears out the claim of the Maxwell that the light weight means a great saving in gasoline, oil and tires
 The Chalmers, which are the ad vanced models of the new light six" type, are mighty handsome cars. To help out that stream-line effect there is the most fetching little white stripe running all the way around the body of the car It is a nice big car and has all sorts of dandy features, like the new folding seats, the special starting sys Rm, etc. The new Chalmers are mak- ing some nice touring records. One party drove through Phoenix day or two ago, en route from Kansas to San Diego, and said that in the whole trip they never had to lift the hood except to oil the engine

HARMONY CLUB AGAINST
 RETRIEVE 0F EYT|NGE

The Harmony club went on record yesterday as protecting against the release or Louis Eytinge, condemned crIminaF' serving a life sentence of imprisonment for murder at the state prison at Florence.
 Rumors, afIoat yesterday that the various woman clubs were to tane acton in the matter, were confirmed when Mrs. T. Nj. Elder, president of the Harmony club and a believer in prison reform, protested against the release ot Eytinge and appointed a committee to draw up d resolution to thls effect and presenting the same to Governor Hunt Her views were shared by every member Of the club and by Mrs, Henry D. Ross, president Of the Arizona Federation of Women's clubs, who was present at the meet ing.
 It is bad example to set for the boys of our community" declared Mrs. Elder. T deplore the fact that life at the prison has been made so inter- estlng and lives of the prisoners so heroic that it is an invitation to our sons to hasten to it's doors. l believe ill treating prisoners humaneIy, but the notoriety given this cold blooded murderer is out of reason, and I am not Tn favor of pardoning him."
 Whether or not the other clubs will
 take action in the matter could not be ascertained last evening, but the sen
 tment seemed strongly opposed to his release.
 Mrs. Ross was the principal speaker at the Harmony club yesterday, her talk relating to the club movement in the northern part of the state
 The greatest need of the north is district federation" said the speak CT The clubs are suffering from isolation. The great distance does not permit large attendance at the state convention, and they lose the spirit and inspiration that is to be gained by getting in touch with fellow work CTS: to see what women are doing collectively is of untold value"
 Mrs. Ross reviewed her summers experience in the north, her visits to the clubs in Prescott. Williams, Hol- brook, Winslow and Kingman, and of the club in Flagstaff which she or ganized With over one hundred charter members She complimented the liar mony club on it's progress particu- larly in the work it is doing in eco- monies. A social hour followed the program, the hostesses being Mrs Walter Elliott, Mrs Anna McComas, and Mrs. E. c. Randall. The card prizes were won br Mrs. Harry J. Bennett, Mrs Edward Rosine.

OLD JUSTICE COURTS
 MUST 60 BY SATURDAY

With the time allowed them in the old place down to three days, Judge P. P Parker and Judge C. w. John stone. are in some sort of a fix. The task of finding suitable locations to establish their new justice courts has been no easy matter under the circumstances.
 For a long time the old offices, which have stood side by side facing the court house on First avenue these many years, relics of old pioneer days. have been condemned, and the time for their evacuation was to terminate last Monday, one weeks grace, however, was allowed, and Sat urday will see the final shut down of the old offices.
 But since the days when the old arrangement stood good there have been changes. In the old days, when Phoenix was a village, one justice of the peace and one constable served the whole town. As the place grew the work of the court became too strenuous for one man, and it was necessary to create another court. Then came the division of the city
 
 into two precincts, east and west, vet the two courts remained side by side; but the new law requires that the east and the west precinct jus tice courts shall be located on their respective sides of Center street.
 In order to accommodate the sher- iffs office and the county attorney and to allow the two judges to con- tinue sharing the services of one stenographer, there has been some difficulty in fixing on a location. However, the matter of deciding on the suitability of two rooms on op- site sides of Center street is before the board of supervisors, and on their decision the judges will have to get busy and empty the old places by the end of the week.

WESTERN RAIL MEN FACE
STRIKE OVER $50, 900 MILES
REFUSE TO REcEDE FROM DEMAND
FOR BETTER CONDITIONS.
Representatives of $1,000 Trainmen
Show Managers 9o.2 Per Cent of En-
ployes Voted in Favor of Quitting.

Prospects for a strike that would tic
up more than 10000 miles of Western
railroads in the United States and Can
ada looms larger. bu, it is generally be
lieved that arbitration under the New
lands act viii be the final resort TO pre-
vent a walkout.
Representatives OF $4,000 trainmen
employed on the Western roads resumed
their conference with the General Man
ayers Association, representing the
roads in Chicago Thursday. They de-
clared that the men will not reccde from
their demand for a reduction of working
hours from ten to eight per diem with
out lower pay.
The railroad representatives were
equally firm. The general managers
declared they would not consent to the
mems proposal. Furthermore, they in-
sisted that they would not appeal for
federal mediation ii the employees carry
out their threat TO strike. The en-
ploycs. too, declared they would not ask
for arbitration.
The result of the strike vote taken
several weeks ago showed a9.2 per cent
of the men in favor of strike unless
their demands are granted.
The territory that would be affected
II the strike was called extends from
Lake Michigan to the Pacific coast and
from the Mexican border into Canada,
including every railroad line of impor-
tance in the West.

DENVER-PUEBLO COMPANY
FINED $50 FOR LOW WAGE
FIRST CASE UNDER THE NEW CITY
LABOR ORDINANCE.
United Laborers' Union Will Continue
to File Charges Until the Construc-
ton Co. Complies With Law.

Charles Connors, president, and gen.
eral manager of the Denver Pueblo Con.
struction company, was fined $50 and
costs in the police court last Saturday
for violating the city ordinance provid.
ing for wage schedule of $3.50 per day
of eight hours on all municipal work
j. W. Mccain. who had been employed
by the company, was the complainant.
McCann testified that he worked two
days and 90 minutes over, and that
he received only S3a5 for the work.
Many of the company's workmen. ON
city contracts, are paid only 81 so n
day, it is claimed. and are compelled
TO work nine or ten hours day.
The company. which was represented
by Attorney William b. Rodda. will ap.
peal the case in an effort to nullify the
ordinance.
II. L. Wright, business agent for the
United Laborers' Union. who was instru-
mental in bringing the case to trial,
announces that the union will continue
to file and press charges against Con-
nors and other city contractors until
they are compelled to obey the law or
quit business in this city.
Ordinances similar to the one enacted
in Denver have been upheld by the
State Supreme Courts of Washington,
Kansas, New York and other states, so
the chances are that the Denver Pueblo
Construction company will soon prefer
to pay legal wages and work their men
eight hours rather than pay fines and
court costs.
