URGE PUBLIC TO EAT MORE PERIsHAeLEs.

Handlers of food are urged to push the sale of all perishables and to suggest to the consumer that every pound of such products used means pound of the more staple commo- dities to be released for the food ships. At this season of the year there is large amount of fresh gar den truck and fruit coming into the market and this should be consumed in preference to canned goods and other commodities which can be shipped. The consumption of po- tatoes should be increased in order that the exceptionally heavy potato crop of Arizona this year may be dis posed of within the state.

 BAPTISM OF GAS

CAMP KEARNEY, June s.-What probably will be the last heavy gas attack for some time was made last night against the officers and non commissioned officers of the 15sth (Arizona) infantry.
 Formed into three provisional com panies, these leaders occupied three lines of trenches in an area near the gas school carrying out a relief of the front line trench just before it grew dark A cloud of poisonous gas of sufficient strength to kill if breath ed very long. mixed with a quantity of smoke. was sent down over the trench area.
 The chlorine hung in bushes and sheltered places about the trench es so that half an hour after the cloud had passed traces of it were discernable but not in sufficient strength to render masks necessary Later heavy attack was made with tear gas bombs.

Appended is the letter sent to
the unions affected by Charles A.
Reagan. secretary of the commit
tee making the investigation:
AT the last regular meeting of
the Tri-City Federation of Labor
the attention of that body was call
ed to the many statements that
have recently appeared in the daily
papers, to the effect that because of
the present immoral habits the eff
cheney of the men employed on the
Rock Island arsenal had been re-
duced about 80 per cent. and that
on an average of two and a half
days a week was being lost because
of the same reasons
Not Unchallenged.
"In view of the fact that thous-
ands of members of organized labor
are employed on the arsenal, it was
the opinion of the federation that
to allow these statements to go
unchallenged would result in plac-
ing a large number of our members
in the light of slackers. while on
the contrary organized labor is SOL
emily behind the government for
a successful prosecution of the war.
''1n order that the public might
be made aware of the true cOndi-
lions existing on the arsenal,
committee of five was appointed
for the purpose of carrying on a
complete investigation, and with
that object in view We are calling
a meeting of representatives of all
the trades employed on the arsenal
on Tuesday evening, March 26. on
the second floor of the Industrial

take up this matter
kindly see that your organiza-
ton is represented by three mem
