A hearing was had at the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday morning at
which John w. Watson, j. d Grit
man, Willie Willie, well known
Seminole Indian, and visiting Cree
Indian. who is here as Baptist mis-.
sionary. spoke of the ocal situation
The concensus Of the opinion 50
expressed was that the Indians here
would be unwilling to leave Florida to
go on reservation elsewhere and
would be slow to take advantage Of
an opportunity to enter schools or
take up industrial training.
AS a result of the visit here Of the
commission and their investigation Of
conditions among the Seminoles Il
is likely, some of the party thought
that a means of providing a reserya'
ton in Florida will be found by the
national government.

The Evening Telegram believes that
at this critical time in the history of
the nations affairs all good citizens
should put their individual interests
in the back ground, where to press
these interests would work great ma
tional injury and harass and embar-
rass the national administration. If
the railroad men follow this course
they will have the powerful help of
public opinion and popular sympathy
in bringing about the concessions
they desire. But if they force the
issue at this time. add to the Presi-
dents grievous burdens and paralyze
the nations business, they will sacri-
flee the moral support even of those
who are most friendly to their cause
and who are willing to assist them in
eNry legitimate endeavor to better
their condition.

Probably no other man in the coun-
try outside of President Wilson-cer-
tainly no private citizen could
have drawn the magnificent audience
from this community under like cir
cumstances. which yesterday greeted
William Jennings Bryan The hour,
the fact that great convention here
was engaging the attention of the
people. and other circumstances all
combined to prevent his having the
audience to which he was entitled
but il was in evidence. And il was
deafening and prolonged applause
which greeted his many telling points.
We may differ with Mr.. Bryan as to
his views on peace; some may not
agree with him as To woman suffrage;
but we do not believe any sane per
son could have listened to his pre-
sentation of the temperance issue and
not be inspired TO active effort Tor
that cause. Mr.. Bryan's speech yes
terday dealt with the three matters
mentioned. and was. in fact. three
great addresses combined into one.
And although he spoke for practically
two hours the people came away want
ing more If that does not prove elo-
quence and oratory. we do not know
what these things are.

EMPLOYEES SUBMIT NEW DEMANDS
 ON COMPANIES
Mine Managers Take Ten Days In Which to Make Reply to Grievance Committee. Conservative Element in Control at Globe.

During the next ten days, dating from June 18th, 1917, the mine mana gers of the three large producing cop per companies of the district, will make answer to a series of demands submitted to them on the morning of the 18th inst, by the district griev- ance committee acting for the en- ployees of the copper companies of the Morenci- i-Clifton-Metcalf Mining dis trict. The demands as formulated are the result Of several meetings held in the district by the employees during the past two weeks and were adopted by the several local unions after considerable discussion and re- vision.
 The demands as submitted are as follows:
 Demands, Grievance Committee, June
 18th, 1917.
 1. That any grievance arising among men working on contracts shall be taken up in regular form by the grievance committee.
 That any employee refusing to accept contract shall not be dis criminated against or discharged for refusing the same.
 No men who are working in places
 
 criminated against or discharged on account of same.
 3. That seniority rule must prevail both in increasing and decreasing the force.
 4 That time and one-half be paid for all overtime and that time and one-half be paid to all craftsmen and their helpers for all Sunday work, the 4th of July and Christmas.
 ). That the living conditions in this district are such that we are compell- ed to ask for the Miami scale of wages.
 Upon the presentation of the de- mands by the Chairman and Secre tary of the District Grievance Commit tee the mine managers requested period of ten days to consider same and make reply which was granted. It is understood that the mine managers have made no intimation as to what course they will pursue regarding the demands submitted and the grievance committee is waiting their reply with the understanding in labor circles that if the demands are not complied with that walk out of the employees will follow.
 Information received in Clifton this week from Globe was to the effect that the employees in that distcirt had decided not to make any new demands upon the mine managers i'll that dis trict at the present time as the con servative element of the employees were in the majority and that no ef- fort would be launched to hinder the production of copper at the present time.

 THANKS ARIZONA PRESS

To the Arizona Press:
 Copper Era. Clifton, Arizona.
 Gentlemen
 Upon retiring June 18th from the responsible position of State Engineer which I have held during Governor Hunts administration, I desire to
 thank the papers of the State for the very fair treatment they have accord ed me during my tenure of office. It has been my endeavor to admlMs- ter the state highway funds to the best interst of the people of the en- tire state without prejudice or favor for or against any section and to se- cure a dollars worth of work for every dollar expended If my efforts have met with success it may be attributed in no small measure to the support given me by the daily and weekly pa pers of the state.
 The work of this department is by
 far the most important, if measured 1 bv the amount of money expended, uf any administered by T state Httic12l. During my i've years ill office l have directed the expenditure Of and cls- bursed in round numbers two million dollars. Owing to the tncreased ap- | prol riations, ircluding the Federal A:d Fund, this office viii direct the expenditure O. approXlniately two anu one half mil:,on dollars in the next two years, or over one million dol la,s annually When these figures are compared with a total road eXrendi- ture by both county ana state of less th;.n two hundred thousand dollars n 1909 less than one fifth the amount to be expended annually during the rey. two years on state load copstruc- ticu alone, we begin tc realize the raridly increasing importance that highway construction occupies in gov. ernr ental affairs.
 The first snd second reports Of the State Engine, to the Stat3 Board Of Ccnuol, which give all accounting in
 most complete detail of all eNpendi- lures from the state road funds dur | ing my tenure of office to Iunc Seth, ! 1916. will be furnished upon request i to the State Engineer.
