Bright Future
 FOY GYOWeYs Of
 Egybhan Cotton
May i, 1915.

 Editor Republican,:
 l planted seventeen acres of Egyp- tian long staple cotton on my ranch in the kyrene district south of Tempe last season, and harvested from 1t exactly a bale to the acre. This is not in itself, to be considered a big yield, but when one considers that I was unfortunate in getting such a late start with my planting and a no better than a sixty per cent stand, it did all that might be expected.
 TO me, the future for Egyptian cotton growers looks bright. The district in Kyrene is peculiarly ad- apted to cotton growing and over a thounsand acres was planted in this vicinity last season. The grow CTS are industrious and thrifty and with the prices returning to their normal average. prospects for good season this year are bright

Potatoes Aye Planted To Big
 Valley Acreage

There were grown in the valley last year about 250 acres of Irish potatoes, averaging 50 sacks of 125 pounds each to the acre, which sold at an average of $1.75 per hundred rounds. This seasons crop is about 325 acres, and the yield is proving to be about 65 sacks to the acre. The large yield is due to the very favorable weather conditions this spring.

Determining the Full
Value Of a Mans
Labor

Washington.-ln illustrating the
difficulty Of determining the full value
of mans labor nowadays, Secretary
of Labor Wilson, in speech in this
city, said
These shoes | have on are Just
ordiBAry shoes, exactly like those YOU
all have on. And yet from the time
they were still growing on the back
OF a COW or calf unGl they were
turned perfect from the bench. who
can say how many persons have had
to do, directly or indirectly, with their
making?"
In tabulating the number of persons
who directly or indirectly had to do
with the making of his pair of shoes,
the former union miners official
brought III numerous professions and
trades. Strikes. riots and 1ockouts, he
declared, were all the attempt of labor
and capital to bring about what they
regarded as more equitable distribu-
ton OF wealth or to settle the question
OF what mans work was worth.
The advent of machinery had ended
the close personal relation of master
and man, and, by ending personal con
tact and interest, had given birth TO
the labor troubles which now perplex
us. The department. of labor, he de-
clared, was created to bring about
the end of these troubles as far as
possible.
Primarily the department acts as a
mediator he said. 1T attempts to
tlnd a common meeting ground for
employer and employe, TO have them
sit about the council table and settle
their disputes. Failing in this, we act
as. .go-between when the two factions
will not come together. The third
resort, and last, is arbitration. not
compulsory arbitration That is GER
tainly not to be favored"

Are Being
Made for a Harvest
Army

Omaha, Neb. The annual cry for
harvest workers will be no longer
heard if arrangements made in this
city by the new national farm labor
exchange are carried out The eX-
change it an organization OF the states
of the central west to supervise the
harvest workers problem and its
workers problem, and its work will be
free, both to the farmers and the har-
veters.
Its board of directors is composed
of the state employment departments
and state agricultural boards of the
twelve western wheat states-Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Neb-
raska, Oklahoma, Texas, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO and Montana.
The sole object of the organization
is to so mobilize the great industrial
army of 100000 men in the grain
raising states that the movements to-
ward the wheat fields of the country
will not III any way interfere with each
other, but that the entire force will be
concentrated in the districts where
men are needed for the work.
The workers will be thrown into the
Texas fields when the grain begins
ripening in that state, early in June.
AS the harvest extends northward the
harvest workers will keep pace with it.
and when, late in August, the wheat OF
northern North Dakota and Min
nesota is ready for the reapers the
big army of harvesters will be on hand
to gather it before the early frosts
damage the grain.
Three great centers of harvesters
will be formed-Kansas City on the
south, Sioux City for the central divi-
sion and at Minneapolis for the ex-
IRENE northern states. These cities
will be used as clearing houses both
for labor and for farmers.

JITNEY DRIVERS ORGANIZE

Bakersfield, Cal.-Ihe unusual scene
of seeing twenty-four jitneys parked
along L street side of the Labor Tenn
pie on Tuesday evening was the cause
of much wonderment to the passer-
by, but upon investigation it was
found that thirty-two drivers had an
swered the call for meeting looking
to the organization of Chauffers'
Union. The sentiment for such an
organization was manifested when the
subscriptions for charter fund were
called for by the chairman--more than
double the amount being pledged. A
temporary organization was formed
and the final meeting will be held in
Hall No. 2, Labor Temple on Tues
day evening next. Bros. George R.
Walters and ]. c. Harter are handling
the organization of this new local.
and both are of the opinion that the
foundation has been laid for one of the

A Big Mass Meeting
For Organized
Labor

Los Angeles Labor Temple Scene
Of Notable Gathering.
The beautiful Auditorium of the
Los Angeles Union Labor Temple
was filled to overAowing with en-
thusiastic trade unionists Wednesday
evening, March "a, the occasion being
a mass meeting to afford labor an op-
portunity to enter protest against re-
cent utterances OF men connected
with interests antagonittic to organic
ed labor and to give detailed infor-
nation to Labor Temple affairs.
The meeting was one that will long
be remembered by those present. In
teresting addresses laudatory of the
efforts being put forth. bv the Board
of Directors to clear the Temple of
debt we're made by men prominent in
the movement, and an open defy hurl-
ed at the enemies OF labor
A number of organizations adiourn-
ed their meetings and attended in a
body. An interesting feature Of the
meeting was the entrance of two
hundred members of the Beer Drivers
Union, and the announcement BY one
OF their members, Mr.. Fred Roth. that
the organic tion had passed a reso1u-
ton in the meeting just closed to the
effect that their social fund be drawn
on for money enough to purchase two
shares OF stock for each member.
A number OF individual members of
many organizations present at the
mass meeting subscribed for VARYING
amounts of stock, and the Labor Tenn
pies European Tour Contest was
given renewed impetus.
The Los Angeles Musicians Union
No. AZ, A. +. OF NJ, made further
investment in Los Angeles Labor
Temple stock, and is making arrange
ments to enter a candidate in the Eu-
oropean Tour Contest They pur-
chased 240 shares. .Secretary II. p.
Moore. of the Musicians, in comment
ing upon the deal, said:
Had we given closer attention
to Labor Temple affairs in the past
we no doubt would have taken this
action ere now. We have held a
block of stock in the Temple for a
long time and have always endeavor-
ed to do our duty toward the insti-
tuition. SO far as | can see, the "a
Dor Temple property is a valuable
one. II is close in and the increase
in values in this district during the
past ten years has been most phe-
nomenal. While at the present time
there is temporary lull in busi-
ness, none will deny that this srop-
erty will continue TO increase in the
future as it has done in the past"
