FARE YOU A rHIEFr'

"ARE YOU A IhlEFF
 In an article submitted to The Review for presenta- ton to readers resident Arizona discusses the anHBlacldist law and says among other things:
 '"The men who wrote and circulated this absurd sure are certainly friends the working people this law places stigma upon labor and says that the aborer is ashamed of his record Is this true of you2 The only person which is true is the thief who has stolen either the time the money of his ployer Are YOU THIEF that you need to cover your past?'
 We know the writer only by and address but from the following extract in his article that he is a member of the army of the employed:
 What honest laborer is ashamed his past record? certainly point with pride to what have done and by being in @ position to show man what have accomplished in the past have been abe more than to get better position with better opportun ties and better salary No man who is worthy of the consideration his fellow is ashamed Of his past record and if the business men of this state cannot without laying themselves liable to term in the pen- entary and an ezlorbant nne learn something of the men and women who come to them for work they will do the only thing them to do and that get their help adjoining states The result will be that those who here will be forced to go other to secure employment and for many it vii be an expensive mvo"
 The writer's query, Are you a thief? might be dis missed abruptly because its incorporate impertinence were not for the that there is kernel of justi- Gcation in putting the question. His forecast of what would result from the enforcement of the anuBlacdst law has indeed proved prophetic His contribution was by The Review prior to the announcements of the sante Fe Railroad and the Phoenix Street Railway that they will no longer entertain requests jobs from men applying in Arizona
 It is greatly to be depored that necessity has inclined the sante Fe and the Phoenix company to adopt whose enforcement must necessarily give to expres sous of resentment from an eyerncreasing number of men women who discover that barrier built either of their own folly casshatred by others has been raised between them and their and
 Let the men who drew the ant-Bacdist law and the men and women who placed it among the statutes endeayor lead the way of the wilderness! Let all others who opposed and voted against it and vii suffer by lay as de any suppress any vndc tive spirit and work earnestly for the solution prob lem which seriously menaces the industrial peace o Arizona! Out of a stress of hardship will enlight enmen Arizona profits by the ordeal which confronu her. Out of the application of injustice will come jus tice if the conscience of the State is awakened
 The grueuing win be in vain if the citizens O Arizona devote their attention solely the chapter hay ing to do with the desirablity undesrabity of black listing. If tine recenuy-adopted measure were erase from the statutes at once the situation would not b purged of it's greatest menace. That menace has to d with peril that nationwide and is seeking foothol in Arizona That menace is kept alive by agtator whose sole purpose destroy. That menace feed on prejudice and class hatred It derives its sustenanc from the unwIolesome trough of untenabe Socialist do trines That menace will be present during the foru coming sessions of the legislature Its vicious strengt was manifest during the recent election and Arizon now trembles in consequence
 When the legislature meets in Phoenix next mont an opportunity win be had to deliver a suaightfror the-shoulder blow to the who compose the tenac of the menace Their work further destruct' through further destructive legislation will discoy them Arizona will have long to wait in identhtI those whose influence is benign from those who are sistenty malicious
