The Coconino sun., 1917-01-05

For the first time in history, the
cattle men of Arizona and the sheep
growers met on common ground at
Phoenix Thursday, and admitted that
the problems having to do with the
raising of grazing fees in the national
forest reserves were to be fought out
with a solid front.
1t was the biggest meeting ever
held by either the Arizona Wool
Growers Association or by the Ari-
zona Cattle Growers Association.
Between 80 and 100 of the leading
cattle and wool men of the state met
in the morning at the Hotel Adams,
appointed committees to meet as
joint committee in the afternoon, and
talked over the problem of fighting
the proposed raising Of the grazing
fees. ... .
The committee appointed by the
wool men was composed Of Senator
H. E. Campbell of Flagstaff, E. A.
Sawyer of Winslow and John Hennes-
sy of Flagstaff, while the committee
which represented the cattle men was
composed of Judge w. G. Shut of
Globe, E. H. Crabb of Flagstaff and
w. w. Cook of Phoenix. .-.-.
At the meeting of the joint COM
mittee in the afternoon, brief was
drawn up, putting forth the claims Of
the cattle and sheep men. This brief
will be presented to the National
Wool Growers Association at its
meeting to be held in Salt Lake on
January 6, and to the meeting Of the
American National Livestock Associa-
ton to be held in Cheyenne on Janu-
airy 1921. At the latter meeting
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston will
be present. a... .... .
What They Intend to Do
Probably the outstanding feature Of
the whole days session was the fact
that the sheep and cattle men, for
generations sworn enemies, got to-
gether and agreed upon every point
brought up. There is no intention on
the part of these two great industries
to allow the forest service to make
them pay additional grazing fees to

and so forth, is not yet decided. The
chances are that the administration
Will, within a few weeks after the be-
ginning of war, declare for industrial
conscriptiop. This is the real peril
against which the responsible heads
OF the trade unions are going to try to
defend their organizations. Conscrip-
ton wipes out all union rules, all
privileges established by years of
struggle, and establishes an arbitrary
condition of industry in which the ad-
ministrattve power is absolute.
Democratic management of the in
dustries has been a dream of trade
union idealists for more than half a
century. Except in the European CO.
operative associations it has remained
a dream. Now that Secretary of the
Navy Daniels is considering the taking
over OF all Eastern shipyards by the
government, and many other indus
trial enterprises will probably follow
suit, there seems a. chance Of securing
an agreements sort of Industrial

driven to strike or to raise public pro-
test against the conditions imposed
upon them.
Treaty With Government.
British trade unions actually signed
g. treaty, two years ago, with Lloyd
George. Later it was made a part of
the British munitions act. Their
treaty with the government provided
that in return for their waving all Of
their old rules concerning the employ
mont of apprentices, limitation of out
put, handling of machines, and hours
OF labor, fog the period of the war,
the. government would see that these
rules were restored to full force and
effect after the war. Today the unions
are convinced that the old conditions
Will not return, and hence the old
rules will be useless. They are decid-
Ing that they will ask the government
to give them direct representation in
the management of government-con-
trolled industries, instead of the old
rules. With their own spokesmen. on
the boards, they will influence the
management to make new and more
favorable terms with organized labor
when the war is over.

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR
ORGANIZED LABOR
Judiciary Committee Kills Two
Anti-Labor Measures Intro
duced by Peterson.

ST. PAUL. Minn., March 15.-Or-
gan1zed labor won another victory in
the legislature this week when the
judiciary committee of the senate put
tc sleep senate files 396 and 397. the
bills introduced by Senator George M.
Peterson of Duluth. Readers of The
Labor World are already acquainted
with the contents Of these two bills.
Senate file 396 provided that the sher-
III of any county may require vagrants
or disorderly persons to leave the
county within "a hours after notice so
to do and any person so warned who
does not comply with such notice
shall, upon complaint and proof made
before a, municipal court or justice of
the peace, unless he satisfactorily ac-
counts for himself, be punished as
Vagrant.
This measure appeared even too
drastic for the members of the judi
ciary committee, which is not gen.
orally regarded as ultra progressive or
friendly to organized labor.
The bill, If passed, would reverse
the rule of presumptive innocence and
require a defendant to furnish proof
of his innocence rather than to re-
quire the state to provide proof of his
guilt.
The second bill, senate file 397,
sought to quell disturbances on any
street, road or thoroughfare or in any
theater, hall, shop, store OF other pub
lie place. The judiciary committee
looked upon this bill as equally dras-
tic and chloroformed it without cere-
mony.
AS soon as the bills appeared the
labor interests awoke to their signifi-
canoe and carried on systematic
campaign with the members of the
senate to head off their passage. La
Dor organizations.i in Duluth, Minnea-
polls and St. Paul, as we'll as other
cities throughout the state, flooded the
legislature with resolutions. in ropposi-
ton to them, calling attention to their
sweeping provisions.
It is said that the bills were aimed
at the Industrial Workers of the
World but it is clear that the bills
would give the sheriffs Of the coun-
ties of this state power that could
be abused and possibly would be
abused in case of labor troubles in
any section of the state.

WASHINGTON, March Is. Com
plete plans of the four railroad broth
erhoods for "nation-wide'' strike to
be inaugurated Saturday evening .un-
less the railroads grant their eight
hour day demands were ratified here
last Tuesday by local union leaders
from southeastern territory and by a
similar conference of representatives
Of the southwest held at St. Louis.
The brotherhood heads will tell the
railroad conference committee in New
York that II an agreement is not
reached this week for the establish
ment of an eight-hour basic day, with
time and a half for overtime, strike
orders, already issued to local organ
izations, will become effective.
Former Demands Renewed.
The demands are just what they
were last fall when President Wilson
everted strike after the call was out
by inducing congress to pass the
Adamson law, which never has been
put into effect, pending a decision on
it's constitutionality by the supreme
court.
There is every indication that the
president is prepared to move again
if it becomes apparent that the nation,
facing the gravest international crisis
Of its history, is about to have its
transportation facilities paralyzed. AL
though still confined to his bed with a
cold, the president heard reports dur
ing the day from Secretary Wilson on
the plans of the brotherhoods.
There was no statement as to what
action he was contemplating, but it
is understood to be probable that his
first step may be an appeal to the
employers and employees to reach an
agreement as patriotic duty.
Progressive" Walkout.
The southeastern union officials
were told by the brotherhood chiefs
that the strike orders had been ar
ranged so as to have the walkout be-
gin on g. certain group OF roads at
Z p. m. .(eastern standard time, Satur-
day, and gradually extend to all roads
in the country by next Wednesday.
> Each "a hours until Wednesday q
new group would be affected. This
progressive system, the union mon
say, was adopted to avoid paralyzing
traffic suddenly throughout the entire
country and to give railroads a chance
to stop the strikes spread by meeting
the union demands if they wish.

INSURANCE UPHELD

NEW YORK, March 15.-"A final
victory in an eight years campaign
for effective workmen's compensation
legislation has been won now tha: the
United States sxpreme$c court has ID
held the New York compulsory COM
rensatioh law, the Iowa elective COM
pensation law, and the Washington
compulsory state industrial insurance
law" was the recent comment of Sec
retary John B. Andrews of the Amer
icsn Association for Labor Legislation.
THE influence Of these decisions -
he declared, "will profoundly affect
the future development of social in
surance in America"
OF particular significance, accord
ing to the American Association for
Labor Legislation, is the decision in
the Washington case when considered
in connection with the strong labor
sentiment in favor Of excluding profit
making insurance companies from
both& the accident and the health in
surance fields. It is pointed out with
reference to this tendency, that Ohio
has, by recent enactment, decisively
reinforced her earlier efforts in :a:s
direction, and that a British C0iur2 6ia
commission investigating the various
types of administration of compensa-
ton laws in the United States has
placed upon the method Of exclusive
state accident insurance the stamp Uf
impartial official approval.

COLORADO RETAINS.
CANT STRIKE" LAW

DENVER, Colo, March 15.-The
state senate has refused to repeal the
industrial commission law, which pro-
hibits strikes until employees give 80
days notice. The organized workers
lined up solid against this limitation
Of their rights, and although they are
not surprised at the outcome of their
first attack on the law, they announce
that their fight has only started.
Every corporate influence, led by the
Rocky Mountain News, demanded
that the law be retained.
The pious regard for law and order
by this paper is shown in another
light by Editor Houston of the Den
yer Labor Bulletin, who says:
During the, coal strike the then
editor wrote: and published an 'edi-
tcrial severely condemning the mur-
derers of the women and children of
Ludlow, and by wire, from Chicago,
the owner Of the Rocky Mountain
News discharged the editor who wrote
the article and apologized for it."
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1917-03-17

that law is void all such laws as those
proposed for stopping railway strikes
would also be void. The roads and
the employees will be left to fight out
their own battles on their own re-
sponsibility. TO this the brother
hoods have no objection. But for the
demand Of President Wilson they
would have done SO last summer, in
stead of coming to the capitol to talk
their quarrel over with him.
Compulsory arbitration bills may be
brought up in the Forthcoming extra
session of congress. Senator New
lands is still unsatisfied with his de-
feats on that issue in the session just
closed.
