KEEN COMPETITION COMING

Addressing the National Associa- tion of Credit Men, at Kansas City, Mo, the chief of the bureau of fore ign and domestic commerce said:
 "We know from the limited amount of news which trickles through from the central powers that very ambi- tious plans are being made to domin- ate the worlds trade after the war. A speaker at an Austrian meeting of invited manufacturers is quoted as stating that plans have been perfect ed whereby after the war 120,000,000 people, the total population of Ger many and Austria-Hungary, will buy their supplies from the rest of the world as a unit We know that the various industries of Germany have been more and more consolidated into cooperating groups until virtually all German industry has united as one organic producing and selling agency backed with the full power of the great German banks and the organiz- ation of the German government"
 Not so very long ago Secretary Me Adoo was assuring the country that the European powers, particularly Germany, would be so debilitated after the war that we would have no competition from that quarter of the globe and any idea of returning to the protective tariff policy was not worth a moments consideration on the part of our people. Gradually it is perco- lating into the craniums of the Dem- ocratic spokesmen for the Admin stration that the competition we ex- perienced just before the war broke out in Europe wasn't a marker to what we are going up against after peace has been declared. 2.
 Meanwhile the Administration has done no more to prepare for this post war trade rivalry than it did in pre- paration for the war of arms in which we are now about to engage. Eng land, France, Canada, Japan, the central powers,-every last commer- cial nation on the globe is preparing during the war for the situation after the war, but the Administration seems to think that our war job is so big that postwar preparation should be postponed until actual conditions con- front us. It may be that the Presi- dents "forward-looking" men are cross-eyed, but even Bill Nye's cross eyed man had one eye on the middle of next week.

stration boards all the registration cards which will be numbered serially and then be posted so that the public may view them. After having been advised as to the method in which the quota is to be drawn, the board will prepare a list of persons liable for service, which will be published in the newspapers and also the list will be sent to every designated person by mail. This quota will be credited with the number who have enlisted Tn either the regular army or the nation al guard.
 Following the selection, which may be by jury wheel drawing or other method, the men will appear before the board, which will make physical examination which will be duplicated by the army surgeons in all cases of men selected.
 Following the physical examination, if that is successfully passed, comes the question of exemption, the list of which has been frequently published.
 The man himself, his wife or other dependents or a third person may make claim for exemption. A claim made by the husband must be accom- panied by affidavits signed by the wife and by the head of the family residing in the same territory. A claim by the wife or a third party must be accom-. panied by the affidavits signed by heads of families.
 Claims for exemption or discharge must be passed upon within three days after the filing of affidavits. Ap- peal cases must be decided by the dis trict boards within five days and their decisions are final. If the ruling of local board is affirmed the person in question stands finally accepted for military service.

Members of the Jerome local of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers rejected Saturday by vote of 470 to 194 a proposal ts submit to the membership a strike vote on the question of joining with the Metal Mine Uorkers' Industrial Union of the Industrial Workers of the World, in the strike declared by the latter organization in the Jerome copper district.
The Coconino sun., 1917-07-13

The political significance of the Presidents appointment of former governor Hunt as special mediator in the strike situation fails to material ize upon careful inspection some of the democratic press and Dunbar's weekly especially, notwithstanding. The question will be settled between employee and employer as heretofore, but in this particular case the solution lies in eliminating the I. W. WIS from
 the game and letting the legitimate miner and the union man go back to work. It is work for the U. s. army.
The Coconino sun., 1917-07-13

As had been forecast last week the miners employed by the Gallup Amer ican Coal Go. went on a strike Mon day morning and since that time little work has been done under ground. A few men have been at work each shift, but not enough to get out any more coal than required at the big power house and in the camps.

THE PRAYER OF THE UNFIT

o, God, grant that may spend no precious moments condoling with my self for real or imaginary ills, while our fine men stand before the cruel guns of the enemy to be torn and maimed, if not destroyed utterly.
 Grant that I may have the grace to thank God for the strength of others when I fall with weariness; for the health of others when I am too i'll to work.
 Grant that I may grieve, if grieve I must for the loss to the world, not the loss to myself, when I am pro- nounced unfit.
 Grant that habits of wastefulness and selfish extravangance may be so overcome that I may spend not one single cent foolishly while men are hurt and women and children are cold, sick, and hungry.
 Grant that my mind may be so full of loving, helpful thoughts for the men who fight and for the people they have left behind them that there will be no room in it at all for self pity.
 Work Thou in me, o, Lord, no mat ter how i'll, how weary, how old may be, to find the things that 1 can do to help, cause my heart to grow and orro,y until if hursts its selfish confines and expands to love more and more widely and deeply, till l lose my puny self and know that I, too, am the inn age and likeness of God and nothing is too great for me to do. Thus l would cease to be numbered among the unfit. ANONYMOUS.
