meet In Chicago the FIRST Of June to de-
eide whether to call a strike Of all union

The discomfort in both the Washington

sympathize with the union, officials OF
the local said yesterday.
Company Ignores Demands.
The crisis in Washington was reached
when the union demanded the reinstate-
ment Of eleven operators, discharged for
their union sentiments. In a communica-

tic action would be taken by the oper-

NO MIXTURES FOR ROAD RACERS

All but three of the sixteen contestants in the recent Douglas to Phoenix road race took par ticular pains to secure straight distilled, all-refinery gasoline, and the winners of first, second and third places were among the wise thirteen," said J. E. Balsley district sales manager of the Standard Oil Company, yester- day, while discussing the ever present subject of pure gasoline.
 The lesson to be drawn from this incident by motorists, is the fact that practically all of the contestants carefully avoided mixtures and doped gas.
 A racing driver is out to win. He is wise to all the tricks that make victory more certain, and he knows that mixtures and doped gas are unreliable, caus-' ing loss of power and carburetor difficulties. They all spoke of these points before the race, and I know what kind of fuel they chose because they filled with our Red Grown gasoline.
 The winner, c. l.. Cord, driv- ing a Paige, was frank enough to give most of the credit for his victory to the uniform power he obtained from our gasoline"

BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL.

That the majority of Arizonans voted at the recent election to do away with capital punishment is an endorsement of a humani- tarian and Christian policy for which Gov. Hunt is most largely to receive the praise in Arizona as it has ever been measure dear to him and for which he has most earnestly worked. The logic behind punishing murder by murder has very little ground to stand upon. Should God deal with all mankind with as little reason and mercy we would all be lost beyond hope of redemp- tion. Aside from this to hang men is foolish as an economic proposition as a man who would execute a valuable horse because it had killed a man would not be regarded as a modern Solomon. Life Imprisonment is plenty punishment for man and the labor of the man is of value to the state to say uothing of it's proceeds being used to help those who may have been deprived of a bread winner by his insane procedure.-Prescott Courier.

Over 100 ostricheS, owned by Dr. Chandler, are to be butchered and fed to hogs in the next two weeks, according to an announce ment by Lou Ellsworth, man. ager of the Chandler ranch. The birds are part of flock of 275 that originally cost the owners $500 apiece. Owing to the falling off in the demand for ostrich feathers, the birds are now worth only $7 apiece. About 15O have been sold to Yuma ostrich growers, and the rest will be fed to the hogs. Dr. Chandler believes he can make more money by turning his ostrich ranch into cotton planta tion.-Bisbee Review.

Some rapid-fire work on the part

by the territorial administration, and
If the bill should go through, the
adjutant-general viii be a, federal ap.
pointee and will get federal pay
and pretty good pay, at that
Finding that under the terms of the
Chamberlain bill q mainlander might
receive the appointment, Coke cabled
to Senator Chamberlain. The follow
ing reply was received by Coke yes
terday:
"My Dear Senator: I received your
cablegram of the 18th. inst. In due
course, in which you suggested that
an amendment be made to the army
reorganization bill so as to require
the adjutantgeneral of the territorial
militia to be citizen of the territory.
In reply permit me to say that ac-
cepteds an amendment of the bill in
the senate the other day which has
this object in view. and I am enclosing
you under separate cover a copy Of
the bin as it passed the senate with
the provision marked. The measure
now goes to conference and hope we
may be able to retain that provision
in the bill.
The amendment is made % Section

tions of More Progress Made

ter Of wage increases for plantation

tails the plan has not been perfected
to the satisfaction of all It was such
details that were gone over thoroughly
at the meeting he'd this morning and
IL was such details that were subject
Cf discussion and debate.
To care for the various classes of
labor that are employed, IT was stated
at the outset, is a problem that was
expected to take time and close at
tention to various details. To have
the increase 60 to the faithful and
steady laborer Is another question that
is involved. II appears that the gen.
erai plan covers a.i of these points.
and after the meeting 1t was said that
good progress was being made and
that definite announcement Of the final
and completed pan might be expected
in the early future.
Rumor still has II that the planters
virtually agreed on q system of 20
