 CIVIL WAR VETERANS
(From Fridays Dailyl

Barrett Post. of the Grand Army of the Republic, will sound taps to its existence in Prescott on May 30, Memorial Day, and bid farewell to the good cause it has supported since 1886.
 This patriotic organization ceases not from lack of interest but for the reason that the old guard has been thinncd in its ranks and today there are left but very few of the veterans of the Civil war.
 When these defenders were banded together in this city 30 years ago, there were over 80 active defenders to answer the roll call. but today there are only five left. This post was the first organized in Arizona. enjoy cd a larger roll than any other. and mad among its members some of the valiant fighters Of other days.

Raaf. of the Methodist Episcopal church on Sun day evening, when the last set of fours will hear the culogy to their brethren and lift the weather beaten standard 10 the nallowed dead.

LABOR MOVING

Migration of Negroes Westward Pre-
sents Problem for Immediate
Solution in this Section.

Moving seems to be the order Of thu
day now. At almost anytime you car
look upon the street and see a wagor
loaded with household goods passing
your door. A large number of negroes
are moving to Arkansas while some
are transferring from one plantation
to another.
The labor situation in this section
is beginning to look serious as re-
suit of the movement westward.
Negroes who have lived in this section
and on one plantation for many years
are leaving. It is pointed out by
some that this is a result of the big
price paid for cotton this season.
In the hill country to the east the
situation is equally as serious, The
labor in that section being headed to-
ward the Delta and on toward Arkan-
sas. The matter is being considered
from every angle by the business or
ganizations and the planters Of the
state, who are at a loss to find b res
son for the migration.
A movement has been started furth-
er west in the Delta to bring about
q better understanding between the
plantation owners and labor. It might
be we'll for similar action to be taken
in this section. ~

BACKS PREMIER
Program Laid Down by Lloyd George
Commands Hearty Support Of
Nation, Says Times.
(By Associated. Press)

1
London, Dec. 20.-The bulk of the
morning papers agree with Premier
oyd-George's expressed views Of the
British nation in his speech before
the House of Commons yesterday
dealing with Germany's peace propo-
sal.
"Premier Lloyd George" says the
Times, expressed the thoughts and
wishes of the nation and laid down
program which commands its hearty
support" This tone was used in the
comment of most of the other papers.
There was nowhere any hostile crit
icism of the governments declaration,
while at the same time some news
papers point out the possibility of
negotiations being undertaken not
withstanding the. strong statements
Of Premier George and Lord Curzon.

under protest, and having carried the
mails under the new seven-day devisor
plan, the government contended that
the railroads were not entitled to re-
cover additional compensation in the
courts. The railroads were not then
required, as prescribed in compulsory
legislation last year, to carry mail Of
fered by the government. During the
four-year period in question, the gov
ernment contended, railroads could
have refused to transport the mails If
dissatisfied with the seven-day devisor
computation. Although they might
have refused, the railroads replied
that refusal would have disrupted bus
mess and social conditions in the coun-
try and that the reduction in mail pay
resulting from the seven-day devisor
was, in effect, forced upon them by the
government. o.. 9-.s

RAILROADS ASK
FOR MAIL MONEY
Litigation Between Government and
Y.& M. v. Now Pending Before
Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. 2O-In the So
called railway mail pay divisor cases,
the Chicago and Alton and Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroads instituted
proceedings in the Court Of Claims
on which 800 other railroads relied to
determine claims Of between $27, ,000,-
900 and $35,OOO,0O0 for additional
compensation for mail transportation
between 1907 and 1911. The Chicago
and Alton claimed $116,50O and the
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley $26,80O.
Both suits were dismissed by the
Court of Claims and are now pend
ing decision by the Supreme Court.
Since the litigation arose, following
years of dispute between Congress
and the Post Office Department with
the railroads over the basis of railway
mail pay, Congress reorganized the
system by recently substituting the
car space" system for the weight
computation plan.
The claims for extra mail pay from
1907 to 1911 were based on the ground
that the Postmaster General exceed
ed his authority in 1907 in changing
the "devisor," by which the, average
daily weight of mail carried was as
certained, so as to include Sundays,
which previously had been excluded
from the computations because little
mail was formerly carried on Sun
days. When the "six-working-days"
devisor was adopted in 1873, mail
transportation was confined almost en-
tirely to week days and the railroads
contended that Congress, in 1907, re-
fused to change the "devisor" to in
clude Sundays as working" days in
averging the weight of mail to be the
basis for payment of mail carriage.
