LABOR TROUBLES STOP WORK ON
 NEW ROAD
(From Tuesdays Oaily)

F. II. Wilson, secretary of the pro jected Prescott & Phoenix Short Line railroad, who is visiting the city, gives as a reason for construction not being under way, the deplorable industrial situation prevailing all over the country, due mainly to strikes in sawmills, ard the inability of steel firms to supply rail for the new line.
 He states that all mills in Northern Arizona refuse to stipulatc date on which ties may be delivered, owing to labor troubles, and on the other hand Eastern manufacturers cannot i'll or ders for rails at 9 price within reason or enter into a contract to supply this material at any stated time in the near future, owing to orders being ab- sorbed for war purposes. Mir. Will sor said yesterday:
 In view of these deplorable condi- tiors, the New York office has order ed a suspension of building, until the industrial atmosphere clears up; ac- cordingly there will not be a move made toward construction for an in definite period: we have the necessary capital for the building of the road, and all details had been worked out to that end when manufacturing con- ditions became chaotic and shattered ali our plans"
 Alr. Wilson also stated that two quite large camps had been establish ed along the survey, while some grad ing was performed out of Turkey station when orders were received from the Eastern office to suspend.
 The interruption has affected sever al mining companies along the pro- jccted route, and plans for large oper- ations by three big coppers are held up temporarily. Silver advancing will affect the future of the Tiptop field in several large companies entering, this railroad being the outlet for large tonnage assured from that belt
 With the adjusting of labor trou- bles and the Eastern manufacturers being able 10 supply the steel, work will begin and the road will be built as fast as possible.
