THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE.

The present labor unrest in the Twin
Cities is, to say the least. regrettable,
especially when it is considered that it
might have been averted by the COVER
nor and Public Safety commission ac-
cepting the offices Of the Federal gov
eminent to mediate the controversial
contentious.
Charges have been made that Social
istic and Pro German elements are re-
sponsible for the discomfort on the part
of the street car men. These claims
appear entirely unseemlv and unwar-
rantable, and are used as a suhterfuge
to obscure the real issue and discret1it
the brave workers who possess the
courage to stand hy their conviction,
which in this case happens to be the
right to organize and deal collectively
with the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany.
Many expressions arc heard that tie
railway employees should agree to OBJ
serve such trivial order as that for
bidding the wearing Of union buttons.
Now if this matter is so inconsenuen-
tial, why does the traction company in =.
sist that the men must not wear the
union insignia?
This act on the part of the company
is ample evidence that there is some
thing else behind the button order,
something which it is desired to with
hold from the public.
Several months ago when organi7a-
tion was first preached among the cn,-
ployes and the bolder ones Joined the
union, the transit company launched a
campaign Of intimidation by employing
thugs at the various car barns who did
not hesitate to mercilessly abuse and
assault the union men. The latter were
also penalized by discharge. Every
subsequent act of the company has
shown its absolute antipathy to organ
ization and intolerance Of the princi-
pie of collective bargaining.
The refusal Of the company and it's
champion, Governor Burnquist, to ac-
cept Federal mediation can be ex-
planned, in view of the wsll-known at
titude Of the Washington administra-
ton, by apprehension that intervention
by the Federal authorities would prob
ably result in the street car men being
conceded the right to maintain union,
including the constitutional right to
wear it's insignia.
Whatever Inconvenience is caused bv
the present trouble, all may be at
tributed to Mr.. Lowry's refusal to per
NIT unrestricted organization of his
street car employees.

sldering that there is no fund pro-
vided for the improvements of SAN
itary conditions.
AS the law has been interpreted to

as Grand Jurors for term of six
months. and in making this report to
your Honor. we wish to inform the
public that during our term. as such,
we will always have in mind that we
are sworn officers of the law until

and having the welfare of its people
IN mind, we take this opportunity of
saying to all the people without
reference to creed, nationality or
color. that because of the disturbed
conditions prevailing throughout the
country, on account of our Nation
no reasons why these conditions
should effect them in the daily pur-
suits of their employments or re-
spectlve occupations. To the con-
trary, we believe that more earnest
effort should be made by our people
at the present time to improve their
efficiency in the production of the
necessities of life.
We wish to thank your Honor

their kind and courteous treatment
and attention, given us during our
Investigations, and now, as we have
completed our labors, beg leave to

MEXICO LED THE WAY SOLVING
 FOOD PROBLEM

The United States is confront ed by much the same sort of food problem that was the case in Mexico City and other centers of population during the revolu- tion. Steps are being taken in the former country to regulate the handling and the prices of food commodities, but so far as observation goes the plan so successfully followed in the sis ter republic does not appear as yet to have been advanced. It is that of the esta blishment of stores under government control, where food is sold at an advance to pay the cost of diStri button and handling. The Mexican of ficials purchased directly from the farmers, wherever possible and then sold to all applicants at rates far below those demanded by the average dealer. Stocks of grain, beans and other arti- cles that were being hoarded contrary to law were taken over by the government at cost as shown by invoices and put CD sale. All wholesalers were re, quired to present documents showing cost of their various commodities and were allowed to sell at a profit of twenty per cent. Retailers were permitted to realize a profit of twenty five per cent. Price lists were post ed, giving the maximum rates chargeable for all commodities, and those demanding more than this were punished.-MeXican Review.

NO FIREWORKS JULY FOURTH.

 WHEREAS, The resources and energy of the Nation should be conserved for the successful prosecution of the war, and
 WHEREAS, It has been the custom in Nogales to spend con- siderable money and energy in the celebration of the Day of Independence, which money and effort might, in the present cir instances, be more patriotical- ly used for those purposes that will aid in the winning of the war in a shorter time and for the welfare of our boys at the front:
 Now, THEREFORE, BE IT RE- SOLVED, That Nogales celebrate the Fourth of July in truly patriotic manner by parade, speeches and music and the En- tertainment Com mittee is re- quested to arrange for the carry ing out of such a program but the usual display of fireworks, amUSementS, etc., that require an expenditure of money and extraordinary work by com mittees, be eliminated.

ASSESSORS AND SUPERVISORS TO
 MEET AT MORALES.

The state tax commission has called meeting of the county assessors, members of boards of supervisors and state tax com. mission to be held in the court house at Nogales during the week beginning July 23, at 10 o'clock in the morning.
 At this meeting the valuations on all classes of property in the sta te will be discussed; the object being to gather information which will aid the state board in securing a just and equitable equa lization. Unusual import ance attaches to the conference this year in view of the greatly increased valuations anticipated on most classes of property.
 Formerly the commission has required the attendance of all the clerks of the boards of SUD- ervisors and ordered that the assessment rolls of each county be brought to the meeting, but this year the commission, as an experiment., is leaving the clerks and the rolls at home, thus elim- mating a considerable expense, which, in the past, has been the cause of much criticism.
 Special invitations have been issued to the representatives of nearly every class of property, but the commission extends a general invitation to every tax payer in the state to attend this conference. as the subjects to be discussed will be of vital interest to everyone.
 The chamber of commerce and board of supervisors of Santa Cruz county are preparing to make the visit memorable to those attending the conference and the commission anticipates a large attendance-M Messenger.

MAKE PERSONAL APPEAL
Recruits Asked For the First Arizona
 Infantry.

Governor Campbell, Dwight E. Heard Chairman of the Ari- zona Council of Defense and Captain John c. Greenwa Chairman of the. Committee on public defense and security, are joining in an appeal to the citi- Zens of the state to join in a campaign to recruit the First Arizona War Infantry to war strength. They are sending out a joint personal appeal to four thousand citizens of the state asking each to get at least one credit for the regiments
 The appeal, which is signed by all three men is as follows:
 We need your assistance to bring the First Arizona Infantry to war strength.
 Twelve hundred additional men are needed between now and August 5th. Unless these are supplied the regiment may be dispersed and the State of Arizona be without a repreSen- tative unit in the National Army.
 The shortage of time requires immediate action. Knowing your public spirit, we appeal to you to obtain promptly the ten tati"e enrolment of at least one recruit, using the enclosed form.
 Do not contine yourself to one if you can obtain more, and if possible please arrange to have local physician volunteer his services to make preliminary physical examination as per enclosed sheet.
 We feel that Arizona's good name is at stake and it will be an undying disgrace if Arizona cannot provide at least one re- giment for her country.
 We are writing you this per sonal letter asking you to do this work as a matter of service knowing that we can rely on your prompt ac- tion"
