Workers for Shattuck Nmmo Contractors Breaking in Land for Cotton South of Chandler, Walk Out Because

strike, or they would use the tactics of violence for which their organization is noted.
 NearIy 800 of the laborers employed by the Shattuck and Nimmo company are on strike. Numbers of them drifted into Chandler, starting yesterday af- ternoon, but there was no hint of vio- lence. The mems primary excuse, or at least the reason they gave for striking, is that they want shorter hours and more pay. They claim that they are getting but $2.50 per day. and work ten hours. They demand S3 for nine hours work
 It is impossible to ascertain how many l. w. W's there are among the strikers. Several of the men who have walked out and who appear to be of the more intelligent class, conversed with residents of Chandler about the trouble, and stated that they were sat isfied with working conditions, but that the small majority which the l. V. w dominates demanded that there be strike, and that if it did not take place, the violent tactics would be em- ployed, and that those who held back would be punished Having had eX- periences with the work of their more belligerent brethren, they feared to hold back and consented to join in the Walkout.
 It is thought that one of the argu- ments used bv the l. w. w. men in forcing the strike, was that the ranch CTS were going to hire Mexicans. and put them at work with the Americans.

BRIDGES BUILT BY BONDS MAY
 BE SUGGESTED
Advisory Committee from Good Roads Association Meets With Officers to
 Consider Big Problems

Good roads problems-two of them in particular-were discussed yester- day afternoon at a meeting of the ad- visory committee and officers of the Arizona Good Roads association. The two matters particularly under consid- eration were the questions of recom- mending bond issue for bridges which are to become a portion of the per manent highway system of the state and the question of suggesting to the legislature that a portion of the funds for state highways be set aside each wear for the construction of permanent roads. If the latter plan is carried out it would mean the building of sections of permanent roads in various parts of the state each year, thus, in time, completing a system of permanent highways.
 A special committee of five was named to take up with the highway committee of the state legislature the question of a bond issue for bridges. IL is felt by many that bridges, which are the most permanent form of high way investment should be constructed from a bond issue and, once built, be out of the way for many years to come.
 The members of the special con- mittee to confer with the legislative committee are Dwight B. Heard, J. c. Spangler of Mesa, H. R. Tritle, Warren McArthur and J. N. Gaines of Tomb stone.
 It is also planned to confer with the legislative highway body with regard to the question of setting aside a part of the highway revenue towards the annual construction of sections of per manent roads and it is also believed that a more complete registration of all motor vehicles in the state, one which would add somewhat to the road revenues, is possible.
 So important is the work under way that the members. of the committee and the association officers will meet again Saturday at 12:30 o'clock.
 Those present at the good roads con- ference yesterday were J N Gaines, 0. W. Jennings of Wickenburg, Dr. Chandler. J. G. Spangler, Warren Mo Arthur H. R. Tritle. Harry Welcll. sec retary of the association, and Dwight 5. Heard president of the organization.

Sheriff Wilkey returned from Chand- Ter late last night, after having been hurriedly called by residents of Chand- Ter who feared an outbreak of striking laborers, who have been filling the town practically the whole of the day.
 The sheriff, who had sent all of his deputies over during the day made the found everything quiet. Soon after his arrival, a leader of the l. w. w., which organization is said to be behind the strike, conferred with the sheriff anG asked permission to make a speech this morning. He assured the sheriff that he simply wanted to tell those men who wanted to go back to work, to do so and those who did not want to work, to get out. The sheriff, with those assurances, gave permission to the leader to go ahead apd talk.
 Sheriff Wilkey informed the men that he was not looking for trouble, and they stated that trouble was the last thing they wanted.
 When the sheriff left Chandler last night, everything was quiet and most rumors were circulated on the streets of Phoenix that violence was expected, but according to the sheriff. things are quiet. and well in hand.
 According to telephonic adVlces reaching Phoenix last night, the strike of cotton laborers, working on ranches near Chandler, was caused by agitators of the l. ". w. ordering the men to

R'S LETTER
 STARTS SSEARCH .
 FOR ]. HUGHES
Best Friend. Is Confident
 That Foul Play Has Done Away With Prosperous Rancher on the Southside

David Wallace, for more than half century close friend of Steve Hughes, believes that the sOuthside rancher has been the victim of foul play. Wallace and Hughes were school chums in the long ago in Kansas and when Hughes moved out west his friend followed. In their long residence here they lived within six miles of one another.
 Wallace has been doing quite a bit of Investigating on his own account and his story is very like that given out by the sheriffs office. He, too, learned that the last seen of Hughes was when he drove south of Tempe accompanied by the two men who are believed to have done away with him. It was Mar garet Hughes, sister of the man who has tmysteriously disappeared who wrote the letter to Wallace which first aroused suspicion as to the absence of Hughes.
 She wrote in part MT. Wallace, we are worried about Steve and want to know if you'll write and tell us if you know where he is. We have not beard from him since last summer and we have written him so many times. Then We all sent him Christmas remem- brances, and he did not erply to those so at last Celia sent him a registered letter so that she would get his sig nature, and she would know that he was all right. But no signature came. She wrote to the postmaster at Tempe and he answered they were holding Steve's registered letter for him until he returned from the east Now we can't imagine why he went east unless to come home so We are all worried about him. If it is not asking too much could you inquire about him and find out when he left there. We will ap- preciate more than we can ever tell you If you will do us this great favor. You can imagine how worried We are when We have not heard from him in so long"

Iowa Boosts California

Los Angeles Cal, March -
Especially The real estate sharks
OF southern California, and there
|is a host of them, are promising
to elect Messers. Pitt and john
lson to honorary life members to-
Their organization if those gen
'tlemen can force their mudroads
lbill through the Iowa legislature.
At the big Iowa picnic at Long
Beach, February 22nd., there.
were present many Iowans who
keep in close touch with affairs
back home through iowa news
papers. Tho principal topic of
discussion was the Pitt-Johnson
effort To keep Iowa from having
better roads.
Former Iowans now living in
California, know that every year
Iowa rs held hack i'm road. inn
prOyement means an increase in
the Iowa colony here around
Los Angeles. Many former To-
vans are in the real estate bust
ness. They have houses and
lots to sell--they have orchards
they would like to SELL and
while they still love old Iowa,
they realize that Pitt and john
son are rendering great service
to southern California in trying
to keep Iowa from getting better
roads.
Iowans living here are good
roads boosters. Most of them
admit that if Iowa had built good
roads ten years ago they would
not have deserted tho Hawkeye
State. But now these Iowans
have become Californians and
and they are boosting their
adopted state. Hence their
gratitude to Pitt and Johnson for
the efforts these two gentlemen
Legislators are taking to increase
the number of Iowa exiles.
h Mud roads in Iowa means more
money in CALIFORNIA; pocket.

Auto Thief and Car Captured.

An auto thief and a stolen car
which he was driving were cap
tured here by Officer Morton at
an early hour this morning, and
this afternoon the fellow made a
full confession. The car, a Chan
dler six belonging TO a physician
i'm Sioux City, was stolen off the
street about o'clock last night
and was driven here when the
gasoline gave out. They looked
all over town for an open garage
but finding none went to the rail-
road shops trying to buy some.
Mr.. Hearn, in charge of the store
house at nights, became suspic-
ious and notified Officer Morton,
who went down there. AS he ap-
preached, one of the men in the
car broke and ran, but the other
did not have a chance to get away
and was taken to Jail. He was
given talking to This afternoon
by Officer Beagle, Sheriff Myers
and detective from Omaha, and
to them he confessed that this
was the third car they had stolen
in and around Sioux City. He
gave The name of The man who
was with him and also gave the
names of the two men i'm Omaha
who dispose of the cars after they
are stolen. This clue is being
looked up now and it is hoped
this will break up at least one
gang of auto thieves and land
them behind the bars. The man
captured gives his name as Fred
Kostomlotcky, son of E. Kostom-
.lolcliy of Wayne, Neb. He is 20
years old, neatly dressed and an
Intelligent looking young fellow.
He broke down completely when
he made his confession and now
seems anxious To help the Off
GERS as far as possible.
