Carl Beck OF the Labor Forum,
commenting on the fight for the
eight hou- day said
While there is probably no in
telligent man who questions today
the justice and economic value to
any community of a working day
of eight hours, it is certain that the
average man does not realize now

application. 1t is probable that
more than three quarters of the la

unions work over eight hours a
day. to say ~othing of unorganized

less the public is awakened to its
necessity. The object Of the stamps

RAz|NG OLD
 LANDMARK

One of the oldest landmarks in the district has this week been razed to the ground and a building that has played an important part in the early history of Clifton has disappeared. The building has for many years been the home of the A. c. drug depart ment and upon the completion of the new drug store the usefulness of the old building came to an end and upon it's removal it is unders5o 5ood that the A. c. company will park the present site which will make vast improve ment in the landscape in this vicinity
 Stephens & Schade, proprietors of the S. & s. Bottling Works, have purchased the old building and a force of men have been at work this week tearing it down and there now remains nothing but the vacant lot to remind the old timers of the former structure, which was considered in it's time one of the most imposing buildings in Clifton. It is understood that Messrs. Stephens and Schade will take most of the old lumber to their ranch near York where it will be used by them.
 The old building has had a varied history from the time of it's construc- tion in 1894, having for the past p years served it's purpose well. It had the honor of being the first public school building in Clifton and it was here that the seeds of learn ing were implanted in the minds of the younger generation of that time. In the course of time the building be- came too small for this purpose and a new wing was added, and this was later followed by another in order to accommodate the increasing needs of the school During this time it also served as a place of worship, there being no church edifice in Clifton, and on Sundays the residents gather ed here to worship, and the structure afforded not only moral and educa- tional uplift but guarded the spiritual welfare of the community as well.
 In 1902 the drug department, which occupied the front of the A. C. store was moved into the building which has been it's home until the present time. The passing of the old building will revive memories in the minds of old timers in Clifton and early events in the march of progress will be lived over, the old being con- trasted with the new, and specula- tions as to what the future holds in store in the line of architectural de velopment.

SERIOUSLY INJURED IN FALL FROM
 WINDOW
Mrs. Harry Neids, While Suffering from Dementia, Falls from Win dow of Sleeping Room and Escapes Sudden Death.

A sad accident and one which is
 expected to terminate fatally oc- cured at the Brutinel apartments on Tuesday night at about eleven O. clock when Mrs. Harry Neilds fell from her sleeping room on the sec ond floor of the building to the ground
 below, receiving numerous bruises and contusions about the body.
 Mrs. Neilds had been in i'll health for several months and was rapidly
 declining at the last. Her husband had been caring for her for couple
 of days and was watching by her bed
 side Tuesday evening when she asked | for a drink of water and while MT. Neilds was absent in another room
 she either fell or threw herself out of the window in her delirium to the ground about 25 feet below. Upon en. tering the room MT. Neilds at once noted her absence and intuitively
 guessed what had happened. He
 hurried to the ground and found his
 wife wrfthing in agony from the
 results of the fall, and after carrying
 her up stairs and laying her on the bed he immediately summond Dr. Jones of the A. c. medical staff
 UpoT examination Dr. Jones found l that there were no bones broken
 but from the frequent complaints from the patient to the effect that her chest and back were giving severe pain it is thought that she had suf- fered internal injuries.
 Mrs. Neilds was at once removed to the A. c. hospital where every
 thing possible was done to relieve her suffering and it is thought that her death is but a matter of few days at least.
 Mr and Mrs Neilds have lived in
 Clifton but short time, coming here three months ago from Bisbee where he was formerly employed. He is at the present time employed at the A. c. shelter, and by his quiet and un- assuming manner has gained the friendship of all who sincerely sym pathize with him in his hour of trouble He has been a tender and patient hus- band in ministering to the wants of his invalid wife and all who know him are extending their help.
 Owing to Mrs Neild's mental con dition it will probably never be known whether the accident of Tuesday night was premeditated or whether she was unaccountable for the rash act. The latter theory would seem to hold good from the fact that she had laid in stupor for two or three days and after the accident no noticeable change could be discerned in her mental condition. Whatever the cause the husband has the heartfelt commiseration of the community in his sorrow.

MORENC| UNION
 ID PRESIDENT

MORENCI, Arizona, July 29.-The Morenci Mine, Mill & Smeltermen' s Union No. 2, A. S. of L. has rass ed resolutions and sent letter to President Wilson at Washington as follows:
 Dear MT. President:
 We have read your address to the Press Club of New York city and, we wish to thank you for the attitude you have taken and, the sentiments you have expressed. These are sen- timents that few statesmen, and no politicians have given utterance to. This union, composed of twenty five hundred men, wish to register a protest against war and of invasion with Mexico for the reason that the working men will have to do the fighting and the dying to secure the investments of the money barons of the United States in Mexico, which amounts to four billions of dollars. We protest against the spilling of blood for these financial pirates, and gold to be pot into their all ready overflowine cofte.
 we demand that the army of the United States be stationed on this side of the boundary line and pro-
 
 that may wish to raid our territory We further demand that a close investigation be made of the Colum- bus raid, and if Col. Slocum be found guilty of neglecting his duty, as some papers have charged him, that he be courtmartialed and given the ex- treme penalty for neglecting his duty and inviting war to this nation.
 If you desire to do the will Of the working men of this nation, avoid war. If you wish to write your name upon the hearts of the working men, the real producers of the wealth of +dis nation, avoid war. It will be a greater honor to this nation to avoid war at a sacrifice than to unjustly invade the foreign country
 "Pledging you our most earnest support in the fulfillment of this program, we beg to remain,
 Yours for a better America,
 "C. A. CASAI EY.''

Returns from Extended Trip

Peter Riley returned to Clifton on Thursday evening after months va cation in the east. He took in the big Elks' convention in Baltimore and spent some time in New York City and other eastern cities, and returned home by the way of Wis consin, his old home and where he spent several days with friends. Pete says this was one of the most enjoyable vacations he has had in years, and although he encountered exceptionally hot weather in Chicago with the thermometer standing at the 100 mark, the weather generally was pleasant. Some of his more inti- mate friends are circulating the re- port that while in New York City he was induced by a smooth gentleman to buy an interest in the Waldorf Astoria. Pete denies the allegation and personally we are of the opinion that he is too smooth an article him. self to fall for anything of that kind, and that if there was any buncoing done the winnings were on Pete's side As a single handed talker Pete could convince the slickest con man alive that he was back num- Der.

Metz Runs Amuck-

Karl Schade and R. B. Lewis were badly bruised and shaken up on Wednesday morning when the Metz car driven by the former turned over in Wards canyon and hurling the oc- cupants to the ground. The men were on their way to the formers ranch at York when the accident took place. In some manner going up the canyon Karl seemed to lose control of the gentle and trusty little car and it began to buck much like a broncho and after cavorting around for awhile it run it's nose into the bank and pitched both men over it's head. After picking themselves up cursory examination revealed no broken bones and outside of a severe shaking up they were otherwise uninjured. How ever, Karl says he lost confidence in the roadster and will never be able to trust it as before. He says the hur- ricane deck of a bucking bronco is preferable to the Metz when it gets in action.

Clifton Wins as Usual

I
 Last Sundays ball game was repe- tition of the majority of those that have gone before, the local boys cleaning up on Morenci with a score of to 4. The score was close and the game was interesting, the teams putting up one of the best exhibitions this season. Ashley and Cramer pitched for Clifton while Porri and Evans were the forces behind the sphere for Morenci. Ashley played with his old time ginger and pitched fine game throughout. He is one of the best pitchers in this section and Clifton will be fortunate to hold on to him for the rest of tlie season.
 Next Sundays game will be played at Clifton when it is hoped that the local boys will be good enough to let our neighbors win one more game be- fore the close of the season.
 It has not been definitely settled yet whether there will be a game on Labor day or not, although from present indications it looks as though there would be no place on the rro- gram for the national game.
 Following is the result of last Sundav'S
