A BLOW AT UNlONlSM.


 Under the heading "A Remarkable Political Move ment" the Arizona Republican publishes calmy-ex- pressed observation on Governor Hunts activities in the political field. Every voter in Arizona would do we'll to read the Republicans presentation of the facts as follows
 The attempt to organize wageworkers of Arizona Hunt Club is something in American politics. and consequently the of it will be awaited with some interest We believe it will succeed There seems to be very serious obstacles in the way. We may pass inevitable purpose array the voters of Arizona into classes, against each other-em- ployer and employe by holding before the latter the dreadful dreadful image of Capitalism" and before the former the threat of organized labor That is certainly good thing for state which must depend much cooperation and cooperation is not secured by o- mentng antagonism. But this is phase of the sub jecG that requires discussion
 We do not believe that this movement will help unionism the of Governor Hunt. There know, some Republican union who will not be drag ged into club of this kind. We know other union who democrats but who belong to faction of the party other than that represented by the governor. Union men these will the of unionsm that has thus been applied them. The
 
 the voting element union i this state. Republican union and democratic union of the faction will certainly ally the rseves with club formed to dire exercise of their priv iieges of citizenship To them it will appear that members of the union who promoting this club a the of unonsm, or labor generally misr presenting unionism and the cause of :ator.

 What have such nonunion to gain from the re- election of the governor? may be said though that the doors of the union open to all n-union who qualified and who wish to enter such terms ganized labor has prescribed But they have wished to enter they would have done And having refused the they will go in through the side door of politics. If have pointed out their inter ests have been times and generally, adverse to those of the union how will they be by tn election of tn in the of the union men The activity of the latter should suppose would rather pei than attract them.
 n this view, neither the unionism is like y to be benefited by this The former is also likely to suffer the loss of support of who would otherwise be loyal to him the head of the democratic party the head of faction of the party They would naturally hesitate follow him the head of union labor party
 But worse than the effect upon the upon unionism the should fail would be the effect upon Arizona if should succeed We would then have this situation An administration of union labor, by union labor for union labor The would his eectio any political party organized abc, which he has especially appealed during the five years of his administration He would responsible only organized labor In such circumstances would employers enter where controversies between them and em poyes are always possible such are ways possible everywhere knowing that in contrQ
