FEDERAL LABOR UNION
 FORMED IN PRESCOTT
(From Saturdays Daily)

Under authority of the Department ,of Labor at Washington, and endors-
 ed by Secretary Wilson, federal
 labor union has been organized in
 Prescott, and which will have full
 jurisdiction in Yavapai county. The charter is coming and the organiza- ton has been perfected by the cleo ton of Col. Fred Bowler, as presi- dent, and J. J. Fitzgerald. painter of this city as secretary, the charter roll containing the names of thirty tradesmen, representing every voca- ton of wage earners.
 In addition there will be applca- tions filed for membership from 5O others, and it is expected the roll call will reach to the hundreds when the. first regular meeting IS held. The object of this organization is to amalgamate all labor interests Tn the state under central governing power. to equalize labor in all chan nels. regulate wages and to determine working conditions in all branches ot employment. The essential feature of this labor union, however, is to avert trouble of any character where in strikes are threatened, and agi- tation also is to be rigidly suppress ed. The rights of established unions are to be respected. the object of the federal body being to cooperate with and harmonize all working interests which as vet may not be under a regular organized existence. Prescott is the first city in Arizona to avail itself of the opportunity presented from high official sources to formally organize under federal authority.

CAFES TOLD TO
 LOWER PRICE OF MEATS

JEROME. Aug. 15.-FollOwing the general raise of prices by local restau- rants. a raise which followed i'm mcdiately on the heels of the granting of an increased wage to the mine workers of the district, a complaint was filed with Representative Warren of the food administration by offi- cials of the local unions, questioning the right of licensed restaurants to make such raise.
 The local representative took the matter up with the state food admin istrator at Flagstaff and this morning received ;he following statement:
 Answering, have wired to Good Eats, Modern, Miners, Pullman, Ne vada and Connor cafes not to in crease prices of meats, and, if they have done SO, to decrease them inn mcdiatcly to former prices pending result of investigation.
 Please see that these increased prices are.not put into effect until we have had full hearing. Advise com mittce representing unions of action we have taken in the matter.
 (Signed) "SNALLEY-"
 There has been bitter complaint amongst the workingmen of the camp over the action taken by the restau- rant men especially in view of the re- cent reductions in meat prices an nounced by the local butchers and m view of the further fact that the em- ployers have an agreement with the Cooks and Walters union fixing a wage scale that will remain in effect until the end of the present year.
 The action of the state food admin istrator is hailed with great delight by the men affected.

It is stated that at one point near where they sought refuge in the tree the wall of water was over five feet deep.

PARIS SUFFERS LITTLE
 FROM THE WAR

PARIS, Aug. 15.-Paris is of course not the old gay gay Farce" of peace time. but it has suffered surprisingly little from the war when other cities and countries are considered. Pretty nearly everything one needs to live is still available, though in restricted and reduced measure.
 Probably no one but Parisians themselves have been able to keep track of the decreeS and regulations governing food and other consump- ton. Americans may be interested to know just how their Allies in tha great capital-and many countrymen too-are faring these days. Here IS list of the restrictions:
 Meat may be purchased or eaten on three days in the week, Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday. Not more than 200 grams (two fifths of a pound) may be purchased on Tuesday so there can be no hoarding, and not more than 100 grams may be served in a restaurant on Tuesday.
 Bread is Limited to 300 grams (three fifths of pound) daily for all people between the ages of l3 and 60. An additional allowance of 100 grams al day is made to manual laborers and women in delicate health. Persons
