TEACHERS QUIT WHEN THEIR
PAY is STOPPED

Failure of teachers to receive their
pay is creating storm of protest
and State superintendent v. o. Gil
bert's mail is filled with inquiries.
A count superintendent wrote that
he is losing teachers and the banks
refuse to lend the county boards
money because the apportionment of
the State School Fund does not arrive
on time.
He also said that all his teachers
had subscribed for war savings
stamps, which they cannot buy I'M
less they receive their pay this
mopth.
Many Of his teachers are seeking
positions elsewhere, he added.
While there is plenty of money in
the State treasury, it is not in the
State School Fund, and what is COM
ing in now, it is undertood, will not
be apportioned to the School Fund
until the end of the month.
Superintendent Gilbert would like
to borrow the money from the State
Road Fund, which has several hun
dred thousand dollars lying idle, ac-
cUmulated during the war, when
work was virtually at a standstill,
as it is in the winter months.
The schools will receive over ST.
100000 from Sheriffs' revenue in the
next few weeks.
The schools got behind in accept
ing an estimate based on an assess
ment Of 80 per cent. on railroad
franchises. which the United States
Supreme Court reduced to go per
cent This made it necessary to go
into this years funds to meet the
last March distribution.
By the end OF the present school
year this deficit will be overtaken
and Superintendent Gilbert said that
nett year it will not be necessary to
pass any distribution period.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED.

BY local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that Is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inf1amed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catharrh, which is an in
f1ammed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. AL

WHEAT PROBLEM |S TACK[EDFROM TWO
 ANGLES IN CAPITAL
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 16.-While the food administration was making plans today to meet the critical wheat shortage by a further reduction in consumption, the senate again took up the debated legislation to in crease production by raising the price of the 1918 crop.
 The food administration was stir red to action by reports from the department of agriculture showing that the supply of wheat on farms and in country elevators is far less than it was "a year ago.
 The senate considered a bill by Senator Gore of Oklahoma to fix the price at $2.50, or thirty cents a bushel more than was set in a recent proc lamation by President Wilson. In the house today also a bill was in- troduced by Representative Morgan of Oklahoma to appropriate $30O,- 900, 900 to compensate producers for the losses they sustained when the government established its 1917 price at figure lower than the then market price.
 Speaking for his bill, Senator Gore declared that of 100 leading con- modities which had advanced in price within the last year, the increase in farm products had been the least
 Senator Williams of Mississippi, democrat, opposed price fixing legis- lation, declaring farmers should be | allowed a free market for their pro- ducts.

GOMPERS WARNS ALL
 LABOR NOT TO HEED
 GERMAN PROPAGANDA
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, March 16-Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor. vigorously de- fended the loyalty of organized labor in the war against Germany, in an address today at a meeting called by che National Civic Federation to dis cuss after war problems.
 MT. Gompers' address was in reply to d talk by Paul Kellogg, editor of Sur rey, in which he made reference to the failure of the American Federation to have representative at the interna- tional labor conference in London Feb ruary 20. MT. Gompers said the Amer ican Federation of Labor was not rep resented because the invitation was re- ceived too late.
 Asserting that the Bolsheviki and other radical elements have been and are trying to misrepresent American organized labor, MT. Gompers said:
 There is something about the labor movement in America, of which you may be assured, it must be altogether American.
 Furthermore, the labor movement Of America will not be represented at any conference in any country where representatives of an enemy country are present"
 Don't Trust German News
 They try to make us believe that the workers of Germany are ready to join in a peace movement" continued MT. Gompers. And that we needn't prepare too much for war But you don't hear that there is any real at tempt at pacifism in Germany. Our | pacifists may be earnest and honest, but they are pursuing a mistaken 1 course. To wean the people of the all lied countries from the will to fight for the right, to talk peace now, is not do- Ing the cause of the United States and our allies the right kind of service"
 Assailing the alleged vagaries of Mir. l Kellogg and other 'intellectuals" who, he said, favored an international con- ference to include the workers from the central powers, MT. Gompers said:
 I'm nc. going to give up the Amer ican labor movement, with it's great achievements of today. to look for the chimerical, fantastical Bolshevik prom ises of tomorrow. Why, the Bolsheviki not only have lost all the meat from the bone. but they have lost the bone | itself. They went out to obtain the maximum for the masses of labor, and now they have neither land, bread nor | peace"

 It was explained at the department that with two or three exceptions. the names in the list were cabled today by General Pershing. The exceptions were names held over from yesterdays s casualty report because of difficulties in checking. Most of the forty odd names held up yesterday, however, were those of men recommended for promotion or mentioned in various ac- tivities of the expeditionary forces.

LABOR COMMITTEE TAKES
 ACTION WITH REGARD TO
 COTTON PICKING MATTER
Government Supervision of
 Importation of Mexicans
 Needed to Pick Cotton is
 Urged After Long Hearing

Members of the labor committed of the Arizona State Council of De fense, after two days of hearing o1 various arguments in the matter ol the securing of adequate labor fol the harvesting of the 1918 cottor crop in the Salt River valley, yes terday adopted the following resolu- tionss, adoption being unanimous;
 Be it resolved; that the seere- tary of labor be requested at the expiration of the time now all lowed for Mexican Iaborers who were admitted under the suspen- sion of the Iteracy test, head tax and contract labor provisions of the immigration act to extend the period for six months for those now here, and that in the further extension they be allowed to stay here until February, 1919, for agricultural purposes.
 Be it resolved; i. It appears that by September there will be a need of additional agricultural labor in Arizona for cotton pick ing, according to figures submit ted by the Arizona Cotton Crow ers' association to the extent of 25,0o0 additional agricultural la borers; also, according to their figures, there may be a shortage during the coming chopping sea son to the extent of 1000 addi- tionaI agricultural laborers;
 2. We therefore suggest that immediate steps be taken by the department of labor to ascertain to what extent this shortage can be met through the American labor supply, and insofar as pos sibIe to secure such American labor to meet this demand;
 3. We suggest that the secre- tary of labor be requested to con- tinue the suspension of the liter aey tst, head tax, and contract labor provisions of the immigra- tion act relating to the importa- ton of agricultural labor from Mexico that any remaining agri- cultural labor shortage of Ari- zona may be promptly cared for by this means;
 4. That the importation of Mexican labor for agricultural purposes be undertaken under government supervision and under conditions laid down by the sec rotary of labor.
 Be if resolved by the labor committee of the Arizona Council Of Defence that they recommend that early action be taken for reducing fares for transportation of labor moving under the direc- ton of the secretary of labor. A copy of this resolution to be transmitted to the senators and representatives from Arizona .and to the secretary of labor.

DESTROYER'S CREW
 FIRED UPON DURING
 DARK BY OWN PARTY
lRepublican A. ? Leased WlreI

 WASHINGTON, March 16.--William Lusso. a seaman of an American de- stroyer in the war zone, was killed ana three others of the ships crew slightly wounded last January 16 when the armed naval guard on an American liner fired on this conveying destroyer after mistaking her in the darkness for an enemy submarine.
 In making this known late today, the navy department said Vice Admiral Sims had named a court of inquiry which is making a thorough inv<sti- gation. When the liner reached her destination the master gave a complete account of the accident to Admiral Sims, but it has not been made public, nor has there been any announcement destroyer.
 Report Sent by Mail
 Admiral Sims report on the accident was sent to the department by mail, but the name of the seaman was cabled when the destroyer reached port, tn dispatch merely saying that he had been killed in an accident" and it was so announced by the department. In the absence of details, officials ot the navy department hesitated to com ment on the case. It was suggested however, that the destroyer might have run out of the place assigned her in the convoy and thus aroused the sus- picion of the gun crew.
 Appearance Deceivinq Under certain atmospheric condi- tions, or at night, one of the new type destroyers might easily appear to be g large submarine. her mast being about the same height and the flush deck hull being almost awash in a choppv sea. | So far as known, this was the frs accident of it's kind among American vessels in the war zone, but some months ago an American warship il the Mediterranean fired on an Italian submarine after it had failed to revea its nationality when signalled to do SC by the American. One man on the sub marine was killed and another wounded.
