 The Labor Employed
 The labor employed at Ray Central
 Is Mexican and Spanish with Ameri.
 can bosses and American timbermen.
 There are a few Americans timber helpers, but only a few And 1t Is l
 proved here that this lbor can do
 efficient work. The wages for tram.
 mers is s2.50 per day; for chute blast.
 CTS. $500; for white helpers, $500:
 Mexican helpers, s2.25. sven days in
 the work week are worked and two
 shifts are observed per day. About
 1900 men are engaged in and about | the mines
 | The Mexicans live by themselves
 in a part of the town known as 80

 lean in character; with al the pecu.
 l!arities of that people. including not f ltllt nt hHOh Nuul n
 congressional Investigating committee
 would say of it. but 1t must be re.
 membered that the good old summer
 time" Is in evidence here nearly all the year around.
 They Leve the Land of Their Birth
 The Spaniards who work here ger.
 land They are n fine looking lot of
 men and are said to be good workers.
 When they have accumulated a cou. pie of thousand dollars they return to
 Spain to live in ease the balance of their ~ lives.
 A Tip 10 Mine Workers , lrcn Ore has a suggestion to offer the men who are employed in the , camps of the southwest and who are } of the type termed Americans. We [ have observed some restlessness even 5 where the best pay is forthcoming } This is the best paid region in our
 country. It isn't a section that can
 afford to follow the lead of fellows | like Mover. That means trouble and { trcIbles are expensive to all con 5 serned in them. Mover and his kind 9 are the oIly ones who profit during g their course And you may have no e ticed tat Mover and all the officers l. of thu labor organizations have had 0 theb salaries raised. It's the easiest a mcney we know about. But Mover - wants to make trouble in Arizona It's r poor business. Mexico has a pcpula fl ten now starving. 1t will be some r time before it will be well fed And n Mexican can mine ore. No doubt oi T 1t. Give him his que He Is doing il h at Cananea at Ray, and at many oth CT places. He holds the record fol D the fastest drifting job. To fellow the 5. lead of IMoyer and his gang simply n means the Mexicanizing Of all these f mines located near rhe intsrnationa h border. That will be the result anC
 we are sounding this note of warning
 in good faith and because we wan e to help the legitimate American min IT CT. We don't want to see him wUrl Is out of a god berth through following Il poor advice, because that's just wha D. he will do 1T he isn't thoughtful O l. his future. As we go about this sec s tion we see much that shows thu e drift of things. There are many fin' r. camps in Arizona we hope to SCI ,r maintain the American workers, ans t. We wish 1t distinctly understood tha y We are not the agent of any mininl
 organization. or of any labor fedora sr tion, but stand squarely on our owl Is feet talking of things as they anpea le to us Don't crowd good thing a
 things off it's balance. There are poll
 ticians talking things that are in Te tended for their personal gain. The rs have little use for the laborer othe rs than to secure his vote. We didn' tn come to talk politics. we are net gcin e, to, but we are concerned in the sut rs cess of the skilled miner and hi I'd family, and we have been ooservin re thiugs in our Csn country the pas re several years. We say take care O Id the good jobs and let these Mcye d, fellows hustle for their living in som K legitimate way, which they are no le doing.
