2EGISTRANTS NOT IN CLASS
 l CAN JOIN THE NAVY
From Fridays Dailv.0

Several days ago the local exemp- ion board received notice from the adJutant general stating that here after no registered men of any sort
 hould be released to join the navy. Yesterday, however, the board was notified from the same source that lntil further orders, all men not actually listed in Class 1 and those vho probably would never be plac- d in that class could be released if hey desired to enlist in the navy or my of the allied services.
 Just how long this regulation will 'emain in force IS very uncertain, as he order releasing the men for naval service has been several times issued and as many times rescinded and the board advises all men who happen to fall within the provisions of the new order and who wish to enter the sea service instead of the Irmy to hurry up and make arrange mcnts before the order is counter handed.

meeting of the mine managers and -thc union officials held at Clarkdale during the afternoon. the compromise was announced. Through some mis- understanding the news of the settle ment was not sent to Jerome before three o'clock, and at that hour the shift which was due to start work at the United Verde mine did not go on. The force at the United Verde Extension property continued at worl, and the men did not quit when three o'clock came.
 \ meeting was held last night at which time the agreement which had been effected during the afternoon was ratified. Mir. Davies also an nounced at this time that he would make an effort to secure a general re- duction in the rentals of the district as they affected miners who are com pelled to rent dwelling houses. He stated that his investigation Of the charges made for water and electric light service showed that they were too high in comparison with other living expenses of the camp. and that the water rates would be reduced by approximately one-tcnth. The cleo tric light charges will he cut by about one-third. he said.

IMMENSE ORDER PLACED
 FOR ARMY MEAT

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The larges single order for bacon and canned meats in the history of the world o9, ,56OO00 pounds of bacon and 134, O0O,0OO pounds of canned meat-ha: just been placed by the Quarter masters Department, |. s. A., fol the American Army overseas.
 Louis F. Swift, in commenting or this today, said the order will take the bacon from approximately l,9OO,- 900 hogs and if other work were dropped to produce it would be equivalent to the total bacon produc- ton of the five largest Chicago pack CTS for nearly five weeks, however six months will elapse before deliv- cry is to be completed.
 Mir Swift said:
 At current prices on the day, last week, when the purchase was made, the packers would pay the live stock producers about $S0,0O0,000 for the necessary hogs and over S50,OO0000 for about 100000 cattle required.
 'The cattle will cost us twice as much. and the hogs two and one half times as much as Tn the pre-war period
 "The whole order will be made up before the first of the year. despite the fact that, even before this pur- chase. one-fourth of the packers facilities have been devoted to filling demands.
 "In order to get out the canned goods the packers will find it neces- sary to employ night and day shifts of canners. Notwithstanding the fact that the products are being rushed forward thus hurridly, not a single has been received on meats delivered to the armies abroad
 ''The five packers are now killing about 360.000 hogs weekly to keep abreast of martial and domestic needs.

(From Fridays DailY.l

The Swansea copper mines situat- ed near Bouse, and under operation by ChaS \. Clark and associates, have suspended operations and the camp is now idle as a result of differences prevailing between the employees and the management. Over l50 miners are affected. and all have gone to different sections, several coming to this city.
 The trouble arose after the men were given an advance Of 90 cents a shift. whereupon the manager IS re- putcd to have raised the price of liv- ing in several lines to such a rate per day as to far exceed the increase in pay. Board, for instance. was sem, from Sl00 to SIPS per day, while everything else consumed or used by the men, was sent upward also. In connection with this trouble there was no demonstration made by the men. neither was a strike organized When informed of the raise made over old rates of living, each miner affected refused to submit, and ask ed for his time as an individual.

CRAVE CRIME TO IMPERSONATE FOOD OFFICER

FLAGSTAFF, July 51. - ''lmper- sonating officers of the United States food administration is a dangerous business sad the federal food ad- ministrator for Arizona today, in re- fcrring to the reports that such mis- representations had been made in certain counties of the state, by per sons whose object was manifestly un- friendly to the administration or to the federal government. In this con nccticn pr. Barnard called attention to the six months imprisonment in the Allegheny county iail and SlOO fine. the penalty imposed by the Unit ed States court for the Western Dis trict of Pennsylvania, upon Charles F. Myers aid James A. Alvin for falsely representing themselves to be agents of the United States food ad- ministration. These offenders were indicated on May l3, 1918. under Sec tions 3 and g of the federal crimi- nal code Their pleas of not guilty" entered on May Ii were withdrawn on May ?. when the above fine and Imprisonment were imposed by the court. following their pleas Of guilty"
 Myers and Alvin made several visits at Donora. Pennsylvania, falsely representing themselves to be gov ernment food inspectors as part of a fraudulent scheme to obtain money They were arrested in Ohio, where they were again falsely posing as government officials It is under stood that other arrests have been made and other prosecutions will fol- low against associates of Myers and Alvin.
 II is not believed that the practice of falsely pretending to act as govern ment inspectors is at all common. These prompt convictions and drastic penalties Of S1O0 fine and six months Imprisonment should serve to protect the public from further activities by such imOoStOrS.

NC DANGER OF APEX
 SUIT SAYS DOUGLAS

JEROME, Aug. 1-After a sincere heartfelt. interesting and Illuminating ak on the war and the necessity for ;peed on the part of America, James ;. Douglas, president of the United Verde Extension Mining company Tuesday evening electrified his hear ITS by boldly denouncing the circu- 'ators of the rumor that the Clark interests are planning to bring an Ipex suit 10 gain control of the Ex- ension mine.
 In a few vigorous words Douglas pointed out the impossibility Of 'apcxing" any orc body in the Verde district. where there are no veins. The apex law in the first place, he said, was enacted to protect pros 1ectors discovering ore in veins. here the ore lies in deposits. There 1as not been an apex suit in Arizona Or many years. Since certain famous case in the Warren district vas decided, all Arizona companies rave regidly observed their perpen- licular side lines.
 Douglas expressed a conviction hat no company in this district would attempt to follow ore outside IS own lines. The Extension. he de- Jared. had no such intention Though ie did not mention the Jerome Verde this connection he undoubtedly rad that property in mind when he made that statement.
 Our big neighbors up the hill" :" said the speaker, "have treated us with the utmost consideration. Sena- 'or Clark and Mir Charles w. Clark gave us permission to start our haul age tunnel on their ground. Without hat permission it would have been impossible for us to bring the tunnel nto the mine on the 1300-foot level.

 SABOTAGE CHARGE

l JEROME, Aug. 1.-Charged with violation of the recently enacted sabotage act, O. Shouf an employe of the Verde smelter was arrested at Cottonwood by Deputy U. s. Mar s,ial Harry Carlson. He was re- ported to Carlson by several union men.
 While the union was discussing the proposed strike at a meeting held in Cottonwood, officials urged that every care be taken to leave the Verde plant in the best possible con- dition and ready for the resumption of operations at a.moments notice. They suggested particularly that all fires be carefully drawn, that the blast furnace be carefully drained and that all other necessary precau- tions be taken to avoid damage to the plant.
 At this Shouf arose and according to his own statement, shouted:
 Let 'em freeze"
 Others who were present say that Shouf used even more vigorous lan guage. He was answered by chorus of noes, whereupon he made the statement that the U. V. Extension company was not patriotic.
 Well, we'll be-" someone replied. and was backed up by practically the entire crowd
 This morning the union officials refused to let Shout go to work and held him until Carlson's arrival.
