 AS DEFENDANT W|[TS

The only point in dispute was the length of the trap. It came up in the trlal of young man in Justice De Souzas court yesterday on a charge or riding motorcycle over the Center street bridge at a speed of A miles an hour when the legal rate has been fixed at b miles. The defendant was ar rested by Motorcycleman Rhodes who hau hls little book with him at the trlal. He further explained how the speed of drivers and riders was esti- mated to gnat's eyebrow. There was no guess work about it.
 There are two traps on the Center street bridge, though one might ride over 1t thousand times at 15 miles an hour and never see them. The bridge is 2,250 feet long. There is measured off from each end of the bridge one-fifth of a mile. Thus there IS In the middle of the bridge a space or about 3S feet where the observer stands with split-second watch. By some means which have not been di- vulged by the motor cops, from that polnt, probably by sighting at undesig- mated objects, they can tell to a part of second when one enters the bridge. The watch then tells to fraction of second when he reaches the end of the trap.
 Rhodes said that it was just 30 sec- onds from the time the defendant rode onto the bridge that he was stopped at the end of the trap; that showed rate or "A miles an hour That was not the result Of a calculation made on the spot: The officer had in his little book table where all these things had been worked out by mathematician in the supervisors office It looked like a table for computing interest.
 The defendant could not deny the correctness of the calculation but he dld not believe the trap was fifth of a mile long; one eighth of a mile. he | thought, for he had helped build the 1 bridge. The court could not see what that had to do with the length of an aroltrary trap that had been established since the bridge was built A fine of $5 was imposed.

injury to or destruction of our material interests then in the subjugation. if not the destruction, of the noble ideals for which America stands and sheds her blood. These ideals are the very foun dation of Christs doctrines and of modern Christian civilization.
 America Must Do Duty
 Tt is inconceivable that such ca lamity as German victory can befall the world since America entered the conflict, unless we at any time fail to do our duty, and our full share. I have no doubt about Americas performance of her duty, and that means that have no doubt of the patriotism and willing ness of every class of our people, in cluding labor, to strive and sacrifice and fight on until the glorious victory is Won
 "rhe railroad men of the United States have a duty of transcendent i'm port ance-the duty of keeping alive and efficient the transportation sys- tenn of the country. Without adequaGe and uninterrupted railroad service the essential war industries of the natiol will be helpless, and the sacrifices of blood and treasure will be of no value The railroads of the United States are the most vital organ of our entire ln- dustrial and economic life. They must function at the highest point of eff ciency, and know that I can count or the loyalty and patriotic operation ot the railroad employees of the United States in rendering to our beloved country the best service of which thel are capable.
 Must Re-Dedicate Selves
 Let us on Labor Day, 1918, re-dedl cate ourselves to the noble cause fo which we fight. Let us resolve never tt stop until military oppression and al it represents is wiped from the face o the earth. Let us stand shoulder t. shoulder with our splendid sons who's unhroken ranks in France have stoppet the kaiser and given him conception o our fighting honor. Americas triumph in this war will then be inevitable Americas victory will give a ney meaning to liberty and democrac. | throughout the world

NJ STRIKES IN
 STATE IN TIME
 WAR, H|SS[OCAN
Joseph Lord of Department
 Of Labor Predicts This
 State Is In for Period of Industrial peacefulness

"You can safely say that there will be no more strikes in Arizona-at least | for the duration of the war"
 This is the message that Joseph Lord, of the speakers bureau of the depart ment of labor, brought to Phoenix yes- terday. MT Lord is making a tour of Arizona visiting all the big mining camps and industrial centers. talking to the managers. owners and workers. His mission is to bring the worker and the employer together so that the max imum of production in war materials can be reached and maintained. He is one of a score of speakers that the de- partment at Washington has sent out through the United States.
 We in Washington recognize that here in Arizona the situation as re- gards the relations between the worker and the employer is fraught with possi- ] bilities. But we have given much thought to the problem and are work l ing on it, and I can say frankly that from what I myself have seen and l heard. I believe that the two sides will be brought together within a year.
 We all know, of course. that the employer and the employe of this state in their dealings with each other have | travelled over some rocky roads. We know that there are on both sides of the fence agitators. extremists, and ele- ments that thrive on friction. But what we believe, above everything else IS that there are on both sides enough good men-level headed men who can get together and help carry the na- tion's war program through.
 This is our mission-to help to bring about mutual understanding be- tween the mine owners and managers and the miners
 But movement like that must be based upon a sound foundation. It can not be based upon the philosophy of the l. w. w. and the extremist. Each side must come half way. Distrust and ap- prehension on both sides must be dis armed and we must come out in the open and discuss our problems as man to man. Once we met on this common ground, the rest is easy.
 And mark you, there is every desire on the part of the owners and the min CTS in Arizona to get together I say this from what I have seen and heard Tn my travels about this state and not rom what I have conjured up from nowhere
 MT. Lord went into other matters concerning his mission here, to publish the details of which would be some what premature at this time
 The governments emmissary here is l, well qualified to handle his work in Arizona. He is a native of Illinois and
 has done his turn in the mines. He knows the miners mind and how he thinks, and he also understands the problems confronting the mine owner and manager. Before being called to t work for the government, MT. Lorc : edited a professional magazine ir | Peoria, Ills
 , He will speak at the celebration to be held at Riverside park on the night ot Labor Day. The speaking will begir promptly at o'clock, and if an Ari-
 zonian wants to learn something of tho
 governments program to produce wal materials, they should hear MT. Lord. I | talk.

ELABORATE PLANS ARE MADE T0
 CELEBRATE LABOR DAY LOCALLY
C@rdova Finds
 Fruit Cheap At
 lRlalE The Price

Sigala Cordova called on Justice De Souza yesterday to inquire how about it; what kind of an emolient one should use when he has been stung. He said he had just bought a load of watermelons of stranger. Cordova said that he had never seen a nicer load of melons than this one seemed to be. They were all big ones and apparently of the same size. The stranger wanted only $10. Cordova said that he could not re- member that he had ever had all the watermelons he could eat. He said that the Mexican population all felt the same way about it and he believed that he could sell all the melons, after he had eaten his fill, for more than the original price. The deal was quickly effected and Cordova went about the town selling out.
 The removal of the top layer dis closed the character of the fraud. The rest of the melons were about the size of his first and moreover they were not ripe. The justice said that the penal satutes offered no relief. He recited the caveat emptor clause of the civil statutes but he said Cordova might try a suit for damage if he wanted to. Cordova said there were certain difficulties in the way. He had never seen the stranger before and would probably never see him again. A man who had pulled off anything like that was not apt to make himself conspicuous for a while.

TOO FAMILIAR UPON
 SHORT ACQUAINTANCE

Anna Skrehot wants a divorce from Leo Skrehot on the grounds of cruel treatment eliminating in the applica- non to her recently of the epithet "a crazy devil" In view of the fact that they were married only two months ago, this appears to be undue familiar ity or short acquaintance.
 The plaintiff also wants a share /of the property of the defendant. She mas been informed, and believes, that he had mortgages amounting to more than S3a,000 and she knows for fact of one mortgage for more than $11,000.
 Her own fortune, she says. consists of only s140 which she had saved pre- vious to her marriage and household | furniture of the value of S60.

Exchange Rates Reflect Victory

General March, chief of staff of the
American army; Premier Clemenceau
and others have seen in the develop
ments on the Western front since July
18 reasons to believe that a speedy
victory could be attained. A silent
witness-and sometimes interpreter
of world events is the foreign ex-
change market. it has the advantage
of being represented all over the world
and of rejecting general average of
sentiment and judgment. The exchange
market remained adamant for some
time after Marshal Foch seized the
initiative from Ludendorf. But the
consistency of the Allied successes
made the barometer become more re-
sponsive, and now the war situation is
reflected in the weakness of rates on
all neutral countries. Rates in Switzer-
land, which is closest to the scene Of
action, have been easy for a fortnight,
and yesterday took severe drop from
404 units to the dollar for cables to
All. Bankers said that the turn of
events in the war accounted for the
decline

Steel Producers
To Increase Output
Important Steps Expected After
Washington and New York
Meetings

The calling Of general meeting of
steel manufacturers in New York for
Wednesday next, following the meeting
in Washington to-day Of the special
subcommittee Of steel manufacturers
and government representatives, points
to the taking of new and important
steps to meet the demand for ship
munitions and railroad steel, it is
stated by "The Iron Age"
Coal and coke supply still limit pig
iron and steel output. How. adequate
labor will be obtained under the new
call for fighting men is serious prob
lem and even more grave is the situa-
tion caused bv the set purpose of labo,
leaders to bring about union control of
the steel industry.
washington is not so much con-
cerned about the construction of new
iron and steel capacity, which would be
from twelve to eighteen months in the
building, as about getting the full
lighting effect of existing plants. 1t is
certain, therefore, that in the re-
mainder of the year the changes in
metal working industries due to con-
centration on war work will be more
marked than in the past six months.
"The situation as to coal and coke
and transportation does not measure
up to the enlarged requirements of the
war With an average of $50 blast
furnaces operating last month, the pig
Il
With an average Of 335 furnaces op-
Grating in April, May and June of last
year twenty-five less than in July,
this Year, the pig iron output for those
three months also averaged 10000
tons a day. Thus twenty-five more
furnaces are required now to keep out
put up to the rate of last year.
"The pig iron shortage complained of
for months grows more acute; but the
proposal from Washington that the few
remaining cold furnaces be started up
will come to little. Operators of some
OF the small furnaces now blowing,
particularly in the South, threaten to
put them out if the pig iron price is
not advanced by October"
The effect of the enlarged military
programme on the steel industry will
be tremendous, says "The Iron Trade
Review" With our bigger army must
go thousands of guns, millidns of
shells and hundreds of ships, to men
tion only a few fundamentals. All
this calls for increasing quantities of
steel, which can only be obtained by
scientific distribution and the main
tenance of maximum production The
day by day necessity for mobilizing
labor power to support production is
becoming more evident. In the Chi
cago district an inquiry for 1900 tons
of heavy sheets for airplane bombs has
been put out. Pershing will need 5O,-
600 kegs of spikes. Contracts for 20,-
600 high and low side standard gon-
dola cars for United States railways in
France recently have been distributed
among the leading builders. Orders for
three-inch and six-inch she'll steel have
been increased in the Youngstown dis
trict. Orders have been placed for II,
600 tons of plates for Great Britain
and $4,000 tons for France. Alloca-
tions shortly are to be made covering
$4,000 tons of ship plates for Japan.
These plates will be converted into ap-
proximately 250,000 dead weight tons
of shipping.

Marine Shares Decline.

Wall Street apparently did not take
very seriously yesterday the story that
q giant shipping combine is to be
formed with the Internal tional Mercan-
tile Marine Company as the nucleus.
The Marine shares instead of advanc
ing, as might have been expected if
serious consideration was being given
to such a plan, showed net losses for
the day. The preferred stock closed at
1918 and the common at 277s, off q
and, 4 respectively. incidentally yes
the contemplated liquidation of the
company the preferred stock holders
were to get $3.50 share for their hold
ings.
