ELECTRIC STOVES
IN APARTMENTS
That the Cooking Range Using Elec-
tiricity is Practicable and Is Fast
Being Adopted in the Large Apart
ment Houses Is Fact Which Is
Awakening Housewives in Valley.

One of the most convincing proofos
that electric cooking has been tried,
tested and proven is the fact that
capitalists who are investing hundreds
Of thousands of dollars in new apart
ment houses equip them with electric
ranges. In fact, authority on the
subject proves that electric cooking is
rapidly becoming a distinctive fea-
,ture of modern apartment house life
and although the Golden West has a
zeal right to be proud of the many
opportunities and advantages afford
cd people in this climate to enjoy
these comforts and conveniences, yet
the people of the East are also privi-
legged in this respect as this report
shows.

0R|EN1ALS CAN'T: MOLD
AMERICAN SEA SPIRIT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-United
States Senator Fletcher, of Florida.
chairman of the important: senate
committee on commerce. is alert to
the value of the seamen's law in de-
veloping an American merchant ma
rlne by making the seas attractive to
American boys: r:e::>+4 .-,-
Opponents of the seamen's law
have never abandoned hope of de-
stroying this legislation. Their pro-
gram for a merchant marine is ship
subsidies and the employment of the
worlds cheapest labor to man Amer
lean ships. Senator Fletcher, together
with other friends Of the seamen's
law;~-realize that this policy, can not
create an American spirit that was
50 evident in the early sea history of
our country .., >:S::-...:: .
-. In "a recent tateffn or titfs: sub
ject, Senator Fletcher said: .
I'VE can never succeed in estab-
fishing a creditable mercantile ma
rine under. our flag unless we ar
range to furnish the n1Xnato sail the
ships. The AmericanHSbey for many
years past has found nothing to in
vite but everything to- discourage him.
when he looked towardstl1e sea.
Depends on; Men.
"Fhe sea power. of any. nation de-
ponds mainly upon the number of
trained seamen.: that that*: nation can
furnish. 1t is the, part. OF wisdom
to foster in every way, the develop
ment of seamanship. and make at
tractive to those who turn to it as
permanent occupation the life of
mariner.
THE seamen's act Of March 5,
1915, was the first emphatic declar-
alton by congress that the rights
and interests of our seamen should
have recognition and be maintained.
The old policy drove Americans off
the ocean.~It knocked our sea legs
from under us. The new policy is
to call our men back and say to them,
You shall be treated as decent cit
izens'". *
The opposition to the seamen's law
is International because it permits a
sailor in a foreign vessel to quit when
he reaches an. American port. The
effect Of this is shown by Senator
Fletcher, who says
when they (foreign vessel own
ers) find their sailors leaving them in
American ports in order to obtain
American. wages they will pay these
wages and we will soon equalize the
costs of operating American and for
eign: vessels through raising wages
instead Of nv tho old n1Ntho6 nnder
the former policy, Of lowering wages
to the point Of causing men to aban-
don the sea- ~.

Secretary ot'Nayy lauds Labor's
Patriotic Part in Winning =.
War;,

In the annual. report of the secre-
tary Of the navy for the present year,
the following tribute to the patriotic
part that labor has played in the
winning of the war finds prominent
place:
; "The relations between labor and
the navy department. have been highly
satisfactory during the past year.
I'm spite of the general bidding for
skilled mechanics, the workmen in
our navy yards. with surprisingly few
exceptions, have remained loyal to the
department and have refused to leave
their vitality necessary. work in the
yards for more lucrative positions
elsewhere. In addition. on several
occasions when the general relations
between capital and labor appeared,
under the extraordinary conditions
created by the war, to have reached
critical stage. the various trades in
our navy yards addressed resolutions
to the secretary of the navy so clearly
defining their belief that the duty of
all loyal American workmen lay in
securing the maximum production of
war materials by combined individual
efforts, without regard to selfish con-
siderations of personal betterment, as
to have no slight effect in bringing
both sides in controversies going on.
outside the yards to realization of
the need of forgetting their disputes
and devoting their energies toward
winning the war.
Much of this satisfactory condi-
ton is due to the loyal cooperation
of the heads of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. with whom the depart
ment has maintained the friendliest
relations and whose wise and patriotic
councils have done much to keep
such yard workmen as were men,
bers of labor organizations keenly
alive to sense of their duty as
American citizens"

STAND FORA RELATIVE
BY FRANK f. WOLFE

OF the American Alliance for La,
Dor and Democracy.
Must a period of depression fol-
low the declaration OF pence be-
tween the warning =nations? go.
Must the American people an.
dereo harlships because OF de.
bilization readjustments?
Those questions are answered by
two men:
Samuel Gompers says it is not
necessary. He says that as long
us prices remain high there shall
be a relative wage to meet the
needs Of all workers. There will
be no recession: no backward step
for the workers WHO have 50 10y
ally stood by the country during
the war.
Back Of this statement are four
millions of organized workers
ready to stand loyal to their
leader who has never swerved and
never faltered.
Frank A. Vanderbilt: financler,
says that wages of labor or prices
will not fall for years to come.
He is probably correct.
There are 2O,OOO,O0O bondhold-
crs in America as against 1000
before the war. Most Of these arc
wage earners. They have learned
several lessons in the past IS
mOnths-lessons in finance, econ
omics, relative wages and many
other subjects that were once un.
familiar to labor. They will al
ways have a voice in affairs Of the
nation. That is one of the by
products of the war.
Intelligent handling of the mat
ter of mastering out men will 90
far toward solving a difficult part
of the problem.
Whatever comes, there will be
little reason for depressions and
hardsllips. 1t can be avoided, and
organized labor stands ready to do
its part in reconstruction as faith
fully and loyalty as it has done it's
part in winning the war for free
dom and democracy.

ENOUGH MATERIAL
 HERE ID BUILD ALI
 HOUSES NECESSARY

There is approximately $500. GOO worth or building material in Phoenix, ex- elusive of steel and cement suitable for building dwelling and other small buildings. Facts gathered at the build ing inspectors office indicate that should all building be stopped, as pro- posed, this material will lie idle, depre- ciate in value and if permitted to lie idle too long will be worthless. a total loss to the owners of the material.
 The building inspectors figures indi- cate at least 1000 small first class dwelling houses can be built from this material and that these 1000 houses would make up the shortage in houses in Phoenix at present.
 A meeting of the Arizona Council of Defense IS called for this week. It will De suggested to the council, verbally and by committee report. that this material be used, the office of the building inspector being so advised. This material cannot be disposed of 10 the government by reason that the government does not want it. Steel ana cement appear to be the only war ma terials involved in the building trade in Phoenix. There is no steel here and very little cement.
 Still Issues Permits
 The building inspectors office is is- suing permits for building as usual. re- fardless of the controversy over essen tial or essential. It is explained there that the building inspector has received no official notice of any con- troversy or of any proposed or actual order prohibiting the construction of buildings. II was announced that that office was working with a committee of members of civic and other interested organizations. so that the committee will have something to present to the council of defense when 1t meets next week.
 Tho consensus Of opinion among the committeeman is that the report will advocate construction of small build ings, requiring only lumber, brick or stone. materials not needed by the gov ernment. The matter of labor is also Co be reported upon. The building trades and others present the argu- ment that men are going away 10 war almost every day anyway and that in consequence the building of houses needed to provide relief for an over- crowded city cannot possibly interfere
