Buying of Steel common at new

quite Impressive and based on reports
that the quarterly report of earnings

inrs are said TO be at the rate OF
about 90 per cent on the common
stock, and many people believe thar
some action may be taken a week
from tomorrow regarding the resump-
lion of dividends on the common
shares. Conservative interests, now
ever. are hoping that the dividend WIN
not be resumed at this time, and thar
the company will adopt policy OF
building up a strong reserve that
would insure the continuation OF div-
idends through lean as wen as iat

ness is said TO be unusually good, and
this is given added color by the Tor

\ FINAL EFFORT ID :, :, SALE FALTn
To Be Executed at Florence on Fri
 day Unless New Evidence is Found

PHOENIX, Nov. 23.-All conceiv- able means of saving the life of Will liam FaItin, sentenced to pay the eX- treme penalty for the crime of murder at the state penitentiary next Fri day, have been exhausted.
 Without acquainting anyone with their plans, Struckmeyer and Jenc- kes, attorneys for Faltin, appealed to the United States supreme court for a writ of error carrying with it a stay of execution. This application was denied yesterday.
 But One Hope.
 Faiths one hope. and it is a slim one-1fes in new evidence being brought before the board of pardons. Ten days ago the board gave final consideration to his case and an- nounced that there was no ground for interfering with the Judgment.
 Twice Faiths case has been be- fore the state supreme court, which found no ground for interfering with the judgment of the superior court of Maricopa county, in which he was found guilty. The last death warrant was signed by the three supreme court justices. Attorney General Wiley Jones, who is ex-officio a mem- Der of the board, of pardons, has gone over the warrant carefully and pronounced it technically aawless.
 Death Watch is Placed.
 Advices from Florence are that a death watch has been placed over Faltin..
 In the summer of 1913 Faltin was arrested, charged with the murder of Carl Peterson, his partner. Peterson had disappeared and after Faiths ar rest his body was found in some gar bage near their home, which was on the bank of the Salt River south of Phoenix Neighbors testified that they had heard the partners quar- ,reling violently on the night that Peterson disappeared.

THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.

For the past week two represen- tatives of the Department of Labor have been in Clifton conducting an official Investigation of grievances on the part of employees, labor con. dftions in general, cost '' of produc ti6n of copper, and matters in gener al affecting the relations between em' pioyer and employees.
 The visit of Messrs Davies and Myers to Clifton this week followed a similar visit to Fl Paso for the purpose of taking the testimony of mine managers of this district and a visit to Phoenix for an interview with the chief executive of the state.
 An erroneous opinion apparently exists on the part of many regarding the powers of the representatives of the Department of Labor. As MT. Davies stated upon his arrival in Ea Paso he is not in the district dn the capacity of a mediator. Notwith- standing this fact, we hope that after the conclusion of his Investigations and the taking of testimony, that he will not hesitate to propose some plan of adjustment. By reason or his official position he would be more likely to have a plan of ad- justment put into effect than any other Independent factor.

FEDERATION HAS 4
 STORMY SESSION
Rejects Proposal for Securing Eight Hour Day Through Legislation.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 23.-The delegates of the American Fedora tion of Labor convention were scat tering to their homes today. The final session Monday night was stormy and featured by bitter yer bal contest between president Gompers and John Fitzpatrick, resi- dent of the Illinois State Federation of. Labor. The debate arose over a resolution, favored by Fitzpatrick, that the federation endorse Iegisla- tive methods in securing a universal eight hour law. After four hour debate the convention by S4S6 to 6396 favored instead the use of eco homie pressure to obtain shorter hours. T'ff
 ='' Discuss Preparedness.
 The subject of military prepared ness was debated at much length and a resolution protesting against military propaganda in the public schools was finally voted down. A resolution, however, was adopted several days ago opposing small standing army to be supplemented by a citizen soldiery."
 All Officers Reelected.
 By its action the convention op- posed weakening the national sea mems act; rejected a proposal to substitute industrial unionism for existing craft unionism; favored an eight hour day for all government employees, better pay for postoffice clerks and the establishment of 2 bureau of safety; favored govern ment ownership of. telegraph lines and the creation of a non-partisan tariff commission. 'fl f'''
 President Gompers and all other officers of the federation were -e- elected. The next convention will be held at Baltimore.

ARIZONA BURRos IN MOOSE
 HEART; WILL LIVE IN CITY
Arizona Burros, After Long Drive Ar rive at Famous Institution; VoItz Will Return to Bisbee and Make His Home There.

It's a long, long way to Mooseheart. And the trail is lonesome and weary when you walk all the way. Thirty six little burros, their mascot, dog and their master, George w. Voltz, of Phoenix, Arizona. did not seem to mind the journey They reached Mooseheart, Illinois, on the Lincoln Highway, thirty miles from Chicago, November. 22, where they went to gladden. the hearts of hundreds of lit tie children, who are attending the vocational, industrial institution of the Loyal Order of Moose.
 Voltz started from Phoenix, on May s, reaching Bisbee May 23, where he was rendered a reception by the local Moose. During the stay of the herd in Bisbee two burros were added to the drive. One was given by the police department of the city and the other by the Moose. The former carries the appelation of Jimmie" Allison and the other Pap Bisbee.
 During he trip from Arizona to Mooseheart, the driver has had many interesting experiences. One of the quaintest parts of his drive of Ari zona animals was the coyote and bull pup, each of which occupied one side of the same burro.

The country is now treated to a list of the names of those Americans who were travelling abroad when the war broke out over a year ago and who, having been helped home with public funds, are still delin- quent in paying the money back into the public treasury. It is a painfully long list. It deals with persons who obviously possessed the means of get ting back home or they would not have been travelling abroad. The war only cut of their ability to cash in their travelling credits. So a considerate Government advanced the money without other security than confidence in their sense of honor and gratitude for services rendered.
 This confidence proves to have been misplaced. Plenty of time and warn ing has been given. We are only to conclude that there are so many persons in the country without need of the charity who are yet willing to be posted as objects of charity at the hands of the National Treasury.

HONORING THE BELL.
 Forty thousand people waited at the railroad station at Houston, Tex as, until two o'clock in the morning, on chilly. night, to see the Liberty Bell en route from San Francisco back to Philadelphia. The train was late, and most of them went home then. But 1000 school children re- mained, shivering in the cold, until the train pulled in at 3:S0 a. m., and climbed aboard the car to touch and kiss the sacred emblem of American freedom.
 A Liberty Bell. like prophet, has to leave home to gain honor. Most of the citizens of Philadelphia have never seen the bell, but most of the citizens of Houston are glad of a chance to stand in the cold nearly all night to see it. The bell has had much the same experience everywhere through the west. At nearly every city and town going and coming. crowds have assembled to pay it honor.
