RaiIway Strike Danger Passed

RailDay Strike Danger Passed
 The threatened strike of the 400, GOO railway employees of the United States was averted We'd nesday when the railroad bro. therhoods accepted a proffer of the United States board of me- diation and conciliation to me diate their differences with the railroads.
 Last week the members of the four trainmen's unions finished voting on the proposition of call ing strike. This vote was practically unanimous in favor of authorizing the heads of the unions to call a strike. Nearly all the railroads in the United States were involved, and about 400, 900 employees in the opera ing departments.
 Wednesday the representatives of the railroad managers and the presidents of the trainmen's s unions held conference. The latter. having had the power tc call a strike delegated to them by the members of their unions, were in a position to control the situation. Realizing the gravity of the situation the railway managers suggested that the national beard of mediation be asked to settle the controversy, This the union managers finally agreed to, and each side is now preparing to submit it's demand: to this board.

Kansas City Liuestock Prices

hdHSdS OlCy SCOcK I ar0S, S-(-1O.
 Cattle closed last week 25 to 40 higher than Monday, due to strong demand from both killers and feeder buyers, and reduced receipts. The good gain failed to dislodge a big run to-day, 19, ,0O0 arriving, and prices are strong to 10 higher. Pasture men realize that they must de- pend on feeder buyers for com petition on a great many of their cattle, the same not having got ten fat yet, and they are waiting till the feeder demand becomes more active.
 Beef Cattle = Proportion of killing grades was rather light today, and killer buyers had good orders. Sales agreeably surprised shippers who had cat tie here last Monday and none since then. Top fed steers brought $1O. fair to good fed steers $8.5O to S9.5O, Kansas pasture steers $7 to $8.8O, the good ones $8 and upwards. light weight Kansas and Oklahoma steers $6. 25 to $7. 25, fed Texas steers Tn the quarantine division S8 to $8.50, Oklahoma grass quarantine division $6. 25 to $7. 80. Cow stuff sold steady, best natives $6. 75 to S7. 50. grass cows $5. 50 to $6. 50, bulls $5. 50 to $6. 50, veals $9.5o to $11.
 Stockers and feeders = More buyers came in after the middle of last week, and not enough cattle were here to go around Wednesday and Thursday. though the market closed with the usual Friday weakness. Receipts to- day are more liberal, and there are enough buyers present to hold prices at steady. Most of the stock cattle sell under $7, and feeders at $6. 75 to ST. 50. a few choice cattle around $8, stock cows and heifers $5 to $6.75.
 Hogs-Last week closed with a big advance, and the-market is 5 to 10 higher to-day. Light hogs have rushed to the front topping the market today at $9.85, medium weight $9.8O. heavy hogs $9.75 bulk S9.6O to $9 80. Order buyers have good orders for light weight hogs, and local packers are also after them. Receipts were 12000 today, four thousand more than the early estimate. The hog SUD- ply has a way of overrunning the estimate frequently, which sug- gests pIentitude in the country. However. recent competition has been so strong that packers have temporarily abandoned their eff forts to work prices lower.
 Sheep and Lambs bs-Lambs ad- vanced 50 to 75 cents last week, and sold strong to higher today. receipts only 40OO head. Local killers are in an extremity of need for supplies, because of con- tinued light runs. and one packer had to fill his orders with feed ing lambs today, paying $50 for them, against a bid of $9.2 and $935 from a feeder buyer. Utah lambs brought $11 and $11. 15 today, light weights and 15 to 20 cents under the limit of the market for choice lambs, no Arizonas here today, natives $1O.25 to $10.75, ewes $7 to $7. 60, breeding ewes $7.50 to 1925.

 Grand Lodge of Arizona.
 Saturday, August 19. 1916, will mark an important epoch in the growth of Chalcedony Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons. On that day the cornerstone of the new temple in Holbrook will be laid by F. w. Perkins, grand master of the grand lodge of Ari- zona. The ceremonies will be held in the afternoon and may be witnessed by the public. They will be interesting and impres- sive and will be taken part in by the officers of Chalcedony Lodge and other members of the fra ternity.
 The history of Chalcedony Lodge No. 6, Free and Accepted Masons, was written in 1913 by Lloyd C. Henning, at present serving his second term as mas ter of the lodge. This history is an exhaustive one and furnishes very interesting reading. It covers the years from 1887, when the lodge received it's charter from the grand lodge. down to the time the history was com piled by MT. Henning. From this history it is learned that Chalcedony was the first lodge in Arizona to receive a charter from the grand lodge. Prior to the time this charter was issued there were five Masonic lodges in Arizona, all of which were working under authority from the grand lodges of other states. These were the lodges Tn Pres colt. Phoenix. Tucson, Globe and Tombstone.
 The charter members of Chal- cedony Lodge, which held its first meeting on the evening ot February 1, 1887. under its new charter, were: w. P. Vandevert, T. S. Bunch. w. H. Burbage, Glenn Reynolds, Wm. Adams, Jr., C. F. Putnam, G. E. Kent ner, Hugh Lynch. F. M. Buck.
 From the time it was founded to the present time the growth of the lodge has been steady, al- though in the early years. it was slow. Today there is an active membership of 50; besides there are a number of members from other lodges who attend the local lodge regularly.
 The officers of the lodge are: Lloyd c. Henning, W. M; w. B. Woods. s. w.; J. H. Scorse, J. w.; Alfonso Blum, secretary; Wm. R. Scorse, treasurer; Sidney Sapp, S. D.; Geo. W. Hennessey, J. D. c. Paulsell, tyler; James Donohoe and F. A. Buck, stewards; L. D. Divelbess, mar shal: Henry Warren, chaplain. z A few months ago plans for the erection of a temple in Hol- brook were formed, and three trustees were appointed to make the necessary financial arrange ments. These trustees are Wm. R. Scorse, J. c. PauIselI and Geo. w. Hennessey. Through their efforts funds have been secured wherewith the temple, the cornerstone of which will be laid on August 19, will be built.
 The temple will be constructed of pressed brick manufactured in Gallup, N. M. Its cost will be approximately $7,000, ex- elusive of the furnishings; for the furnishings a sufficient amount is now in the treasury.
 M. T. Henderson, the contrac- tor, started work on the build ing less than three weeks ago. and the fact that It will be ready for the cornerstone on the 18th of this month IS evidence that he expects to push the work as rapidly as possible to completion.
