Statement by Chairman Alexander

To the Editor of The Arizona Repub-
lican:
My attention has been called to an
article which recently appeared in the
Tucson Citizen stating, in effect, that
negotiations were being had in Phoenix
between members of the progressive
and republican parties with the pur-
pose of effecting a settlement of the
differences between said parties and
placing in the field a compromise tick
ct at the coming election to oppose the
democratic ticket and that Dr. Nelson
and Mr.. Young, candidates respectively
for senator and governor on the pro-
gressive ticket were about to withdraw
as candidates on the progressive ticket.
The article is news to me for l know
of no such negotiations going on or
being considered by any candidate on
the state progressive state ticket. The
fact is, both Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. Young
have for some days past been busily
engaged in arranging speaking itin-
erary preparatory to campaigning the
state for themselves as well as for the
other candidates on the progressive
ticket Both Dr. Nelson as candidate
for senator and Mr.. Young as candi-
date for governor as well as myself as
the candidate on the progressive ticket,

for attorney general propose to con-
tinue as candidates on the progressive
ticket until the polls are closed on the
evening of November next and intend
to, and will stump the state energet-
ically and thoroughly for the progress
sive party.
Some time ago there was a disposi-
ton on the part of the progressives to
join the republicans in putting into the
field a genuine, bipartisan state
ticket in order to redeem the state
from the present inefficient and ex-
travagant administration of its affairs.
but the republicans, considering their
party name of more importance than
the welfare of the state, declined to
assist in such a movement.
The progressive ticket is composed of
competent and honorable men who
present their claims for the offices they
seek, to the voters of the state in
clean, clear and honest manner. AS
state chairman of the progressive
party. wish to say emphatically that
every candidate on the progressive
ticket will remain and battle for the
success of the party until the last gun
of the campaign is fired.

HARTMAN SEES
NO JUSTICE FOR
WORKING MAN
Before Federal Industrial
Relations Commission He
Tells How Laboring Glass
of Los Angeles Is De-
prived of Rights.
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATcHl

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14.-JOb
Hartman took the witness stand
amid a storm of Kisses and applause
at the federal industrial relations
commission hearing today and told
why he thinks the workingmen of
Los Angeles have not obtained legal
justice in the last four years.
Chief among the assertions made by
Hartman were:
Employers forced an anti-picketing
ordinance through the city council
during the strike of 1910 and citi-
Zens later were refused their legal
'ght to vote it out Of existence.
Local police are tools of capital
who frequently perjure themselves to
obtain convictions in cases involving
labor troubles.
The jury system which permits
only taxpayers to serve, is rigidly
enforced when strikes are on, max
ing it difficult for workingmen to
obtain justice.
Court officials are on too familiar
terms with veniremen who are called
frequently.
The power of injunctions has been
used to hinder union men from US
ing legitimate means such as talking
to non-union workers, to win their
contentious.
The personnel of the local police
force is no worse than that of any
other city. Mr.. Hartman said, but
they must take orders and obey them
He dealt at length with a riot which
took place in a public park here last
Christmas at a meeting to devise
means for obtaining work for the un-
employed.
One man was shot and killed by
an officer, and scores injured in the
trouble which started when the po-
lice charged the crowd. Thirty men
were arrested and convicted and still
in Jail. The man who did the shoot
ing was not detained.
