 The submarine fired on the master s boat from distance of between 300 ana 400 yards. The shot took the boats stern completely off. Then the subma = rine continued firing while the men were swimming about.

Canadian Attack Succeeds

CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE. June Fighting their way forward amid a labyrinth of ruined houses over which the smoke of battle hung densely, the Canadians at sun down tonight were more than half way trough AviOn. The attack. which was the second in twenty-four hours. was made in conjunction with the British troops. all of whom reached theIr ob- lertives.
 On the north the holdup on Reservoir Hill was made absolute by the gallant advance of the soldiers who went for ward unchecked despite heavy enemy shellin6
 The German trenches on the eastern side were occupied within half an hour after the attack began. Throughout the day there had been incessant artil- lery activity. The Germans kept Cou- iotte and -Arras road under shrapnel fire throughout the afternoon. evidently to make difficult the assem- . blaze of troops for further advance into Avion.
 Their former front line on the out Sklrts of Avion was also hammered with nigh explosives and considerably damaged. The Canadian guns did much counUr battery work to the east of Lens. where most of the enemy's guns nov! are located
 There was comparative calm for a short time before o'clock. When the appointed time came on a front of many miles from the Scarpe to q point well to the north of Souchez river. hundreds of guns opened in terrific cannonade. Soon Reservoir Hill Lens ltseit' Avion and the region to the south were hidden behind an almost 1mpenetrable veil of smoke from burst lr" shells. Amid this the infantry who had remained in active throughout the day, rushed forward.

TAX RATE
 IN EXCESS ()F DOLLAR

A tax rate in excess of one dollar per S100 valuation will be necessary o raise the money needed to operate he city during the ensuing fiscal year. lntil the proposed budget for the next welve months is adopted by the city commission, which meets in special ,ession this morning for that purpose. Although the definite figure cannot be nnounced until every item of the bud :et has been passed upon finally, it is ;nown already that 1t will be impossi- le to keep the rate at or under one lOllar.
 No startling changes in operating methods are contemplated in the budget The larger part of the in reases are occasioned through the higher rate of wages it is necessary O pay for labor and the higher prices demanded for materials. Street labor ITS who last year were being paid $2 per day now receive S2.50. The city is paying 100 per cent more for hay han it was one year ago. Because of increased traffic more street sprink- ing is necessary. An increase in the number of members of the police 'orce is demanded by conditions at tending normal growth of the city and tn increase in the number of members # the paid fire department is directed )y the underwriters The mainten- nee of the police reserves is also all dded expense that must be met 'hese are but a few of the items in which increases appear over last year, which did not appear at all in the previous budget
 The ensuing year it will be neces ary to raise about $500, 900 by taxa .on as compared with $210,000 last ear. The total operating expenses f the city the ensuing year, it is es- imated, will be about S450,000 a- compared with s360,000 last year. Rev nues from other sources than taxes ext year will be about $500 or practically the same as last year.
 While Phoenix enjoyed a tax rate of cents last year and now cOnfrOnts | rate that may reach, say Sll0, per iaps little less, it will still have the distinction of having the lowest tax ate of any city in Arizona. No eX- uses are being offered for the in
 
 increases are due solely to the general increase of cost of material and labor and to the normal growth of the city.
 Phoenix has long been deficient in dequate police protection It has cen trying to do the work of 30 men with a force about half that size. The nsuing year it is planned to add sev- ral men to the force, bringing the lumber of officers more nearly to the atio of one man for every 1000 of opulatien. It is estimated that $10,- % more will be spent the ensuing ear in the police department than last ear About s4.00J more is expected 0 be spent for additional firemen in he fire department And the police eserves are expected to cost the city bout $12,0O0.
 While on the face of these figures { appears that it will cost the city .bout S90,000 more to operate next ear than it did last year, part of this 90 1000 is expected to show up as a urplus at the end of the year, some hing which was planned last year, but yhich it was impossible to bring about

 WASHINGTON. June 2S.-Sweeping reductions in the price of bituminous coal at all mines east of the Mississip- pi river. ranging from one to five dol lars a ton to the public with a fur ther cut of fifty cents for the govern ment, were agreed upon today at con- ferences between the operators and government officials. The new prices
 become effective July l.
 Four hundred operators who gath cred here yesterday at call from Sec retary Lane and pledged themselves to furnish their product at a reasonable
 price, were represented in the final conferences by committees from each field Earlier in the day they had
 agreed to place the price fixing in the
 hands of the government, through the defense councils coal production com mittee Secretary Lane and Commis- sioner Fort of the federal trade com mission thus avoiding the possibility of violating the antitrust laws. Director Smith of the geological sur vey estimated that the reduced prices would mean that the operators would
 get $1S0000000 less annually for their output and that the saving to the gov | ernment and the coal consuming pub | lie would be even greater.
 In addition to placing prices upon coal at the mines it was announced | that jobbers brokers, retailers. and commission men would be permitted 1 to charge commissions of not more | than p cents a ton and that no more | than one commission should be 1 charged. In other words, the consumer will get his coal at the mine price plus | transportation charges and 25 cents a l ton.
 The agreement does not affect an ! thracite, and the coal production con-

GLOBE AND MIAMI MINERS THREATEN TO WALK0UT WITH
 BISBEE SITUATION SERIOUS

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 GLOBE, June 28.-When repre- sentatives of the Globe and Miami miners unions called upon the managers of the three big operat ing mines in the district today they were unable to present their demands to the companies rep resentatives in person. At each of the offices a copy of the unions demands was left for considera- ton.
 1t was announced tonight by the unions that unless their demands were acceded to by the mine man agers strike vote would be taken in Globe and Miami on Saturday between the hours of a. m. and g p. m. If the vote is favorable to a strike, it will be called at o'clock Monday morning, the union leaders say.
 The demands are aimed to bring about recognition by the com panies of committees appointed by the unions, privilege of union or eanizing on company property, representation on the hospital boards and the discharge of non- union miners.
 It was rumored among the miners tonight that the Inspiration Consolidated Copper company, Miami Copper company and the Old Dominion company would close down their mines before the time set by union leaders for the walkout of miners.
 In view of the fact that all of the mines of the district are oper ating upon the open shop plan, it is said that many miners will re- fuse to obey a strike order if it is called by the union.

PROHIBITION |S
 MAIN FEATURE OF
 FOOD CONTROL BILL
Republican A. P. Leased Wire]


 WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The fight in congress over government control of food and other necessaries
 today virtually narrowed to the ques-
 tion of prohibition.
 The house control bill as amended by the senate agriculture committee
 was substituted in the senate for it's original draft and debate proceeded, Senator Lodge opening the prohibition contest with a speech in favor of con-
 tinuing manufacture of beer and wine. The bill as it now stands would pro-
 hibit the manufacture of all intoxicat-
 ing beveI ages. but empower the pres ident to exempt wines
 Senators Johnson of California and
 Kellogg of Minnesota spoke on the 1 general features of the bill, promising l it their support as war measure. Lapse of several days in general dis cusson before the prohibition fight develops in earnest is in prospect. There is pending a motion by Sen
 ator Hardwick to send the bill back to the committee on the ground that prohibition and other important sec tions are unconstitutional.
 Senate sentiment is said generally to be in favor of stopping manufacture of distilled spirits, so the trouble will center on beer and wines.
 Senator Chamberlain, in charge of
 the bill, said tonight he hoped general speech making would end tomorrow and that the senate by Saturday would begin considering committee amend ments.
 The prohibition sections under such procedure would be reached last i Senator Johnson, opening the debate on the substitute bill. declared it's en- actment necessary to win the war. america must make the sacrifice | in dollars and creature comforts within the next year, or she must make thereafter the sacrifice in men and then, ultimately. the sacrifice in material things as we'll he said. "The short cut to victory is organization and this organization can come only | with concentration of authority. IL l is. therefore, with an absolute conf dence that I give my vote to bill af- | fording the most extraordinary and autocTatic powers ever before con ferred in our nation"
 There must be sacrifice of profits | just as there is sacrifice of blood. the
 senator said, and he added
 While, of course, legitimate enter prise during the conflict should be nurtured and encouraged, it must un- derstand from the very beginning that no profitable patriotism will be tol- erated If a concrete illustration were | desired to demonstrate the necessity for some sort of legislation in relation
 to prices it is found in the recent dis
 cussion concerning the steel corpora
 tion. We find before the war this
 corporation selling it's product from
 s21 to s25 a ton. At the beginning ot | 1916 it's contracts for the delivery Of steel plates to commercial shipbuilding
 concerns was s42.5O per ton and very Continued on Page Two)

Bishee Situation Bad

B1SBEE, June 2S.-The situation grew more serious here today when only about 35 per cent of the copper miners usually employed in the dis trict reported for work as the result of the strike called Tuesday night by the metal miners branch of the I. W. w, to enforce demands for better working conditions and higher wages. With the exception of the Shattuck, which closed down yesterday, and Sev- eral smaller companies, all other mines continued in operation, although with greatly reduced shifts. The pumps and compressors at the Shattuck are still in operation and there is reported to be little danger of the workings being damaged by water.
 Sheriff Harry Wheeler and squads of deputies and city officers today started rounding up all pickets and removing them from the properties of the companies affected by the strike. Forty men were deputized by !! Sheriff Wheeler early this morning to protect miners going to and from ! work. This number will be increased to 50 by tomorrow morning. The day | passed with no sign of disorder. ! Speakers at a miners mass meeting i tonight urged the striking men to con- tinue their policy of refraining from l disorders of any kind. One speaker 1 declared that the demands made on i the companies Tuesday night were i but a foundation for more drastic ones ! to be made later,
 Another speaker said the local union was determined to enforce it's plans. treason or no treason" The posting of notices on company property bv the sheriff warning all striking employeS l to refrain from trespassing were 1re- quently referred to and the miners warned by the speakers to keep away from the mines until further ~otice" Speakers also said that any ma
 chinists, electricians, engineers or boilermakers who reported for work tomorrow would be put on the unfair list. So far none of these crafts have
 taken any action in the strike. Scores
 of men are leaving the district on every train. The operators declare
 that men with families are being in
 timidated on their way to and from
 the mines and this, it is said led to
 the deputizing of 200 men tonight by
 Sheriff Wheeler
 Union leaders are using every ef- fort to prevent disorder among the strikers warning them that their cause would be greatly damaged by
 any show of violence. Operator $
