Our Fourth of July will be celebrated this year in England, France and Italy, and not by Americans alone, but by the people of these nations Think of it In many towns and cities of England the day is to be a holiday, having the authority and procla- nation of English mayors and councils behind it. England celebrates the day, not as an American victory over England; not as an ally who has forgotten and forgiven the past; but as great and enlightened nation that rejoices over victory for the cause of freedom Dear, brave France has always paid more or less attention to our day of independence, for did not Lafayette play part in it, and is there not column of July now standing triumphant in the sunlight where once the grim dark bastile frowned for centuries? And Italy, with her Garibaldi and his red shirts who threw off the Austrian yoke at such cost, it was natural that she, too, should have looked with friendly eyes upon the freedom day of America But this year the Fourth of July has a significance and an importance and an official standing in these great na- lions of Europe never approached before. An, those ragged Continentals, little did they dream they were fighting for world day to be observed by over 200,000,000 people when they freed chat strip of land lying between the Atlantic ocean and the Allegehenies and containing about 4,000,- 900 people.

WHEAT PRICE HELD

WASHINGTON, June 29.-After an unsuccessful effort by Senator Martin to have the senate abandon it's pro posal to increase the government mini mum guaranteed wheat price to S2-5O, an agreement was reached tonight to take a vote on the question Monday.
 Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Gron- na and McCumber of North Dakota, Borah of Idaho, and others from wheat producing states, vigorously objected to Senator Martins proposal They urged the senate to stand by its price increase until the snow flies" de spite the prospect of a deadlock with the house causing failure of the im- portant agricultural appropriation bill to which the increase provision is at tached as rider. During the debate Senator Reed, Missouri. made another vehement attack on Food Administra- tor Hoover
 The millers were taken under the wing of the food administration and were absolutely guaranteed against loss" Senator Reed said. Their prof its were multiplied three-fold. Every time Mir Hoover regulated prices for the capitalists he has regulated them up.
 MT. Hoover organized the packers in a pool trust He took care to see that they had no reason to protest. He took care to see that he put money in their pockets Large profits are out side his vision. He can't see the profit of the millers or the packers"

Robert w. Bruere, writer on industrial and labor questions, and more especially known to the Warren district as a sort of de facto member and autobiographer ot the Secretary Wilson labor commission that visited Arizona last year, has come out ot his alleged neutrality shell into the open as a friend, alder and abettor of the l. w. w. His name heads the list of those who are advertising in the New Republic to solicit funds to defend the l. w. w. leaders now on trial by the government at Chicago charged with treason. Many socialists and radicals are among the names of others on this list, but 1t IS the name of Bruere that should attract the most attention for the reason that he has written so much about the Bisbee deportation, always under the bold and often protested text that he was handling the matter as disinterested party whose love of justice and fair play was greater than any other thing. It was by this coloring that he hoped to give more weight to his articles He was an authority, sitting on that cold and calm pinnacle of criticism where opinions and findings were weighed by the evidence and dispensed like justice from scales that did not vary hair But when the final test came in the matter of the treason trial of the most dangerous and active of the l. w. w. leaders, Bruere deserted his pinnacle and came down into the arena to fight for his own. Thus is another impartial judge uncloaked and an other writer of cold facts exposed as using a fire-brand instead of pen in the much discussed and terribly distorted case of the Bisbee deportation Bisbee struck in the open against the l. w. w. and nothing else. But in all the propaganda and storm that has followed that act, those who have con demned and fought Bisbee have used many masks and guizes and subterfuges in order to muddy the water Afraid to enlist and fight under the red banner of traitorous organization, they have posed as friends of organized labor But one by one, circum- stances and the progress and trend of events, have brought them out in the open as either friends or sympathizers or abet- tors of the red l. w. W. themselves Bruere, in his turn, steps forth, and thus is his use fulness as neutral and an impartial chron- icler ended. There are others yet to come And some live here in Arizona and some live elsewhere.

"PrOfteering''

A few thoughtless people and many of the radicals and agitators of the
 country have, in their haste, made the
 charge that the mine operators of this
 state were taking advantage of the
 war to profiteer. That the facts make
 this impossible. does not worry those persons who talk the most and loudest
 on the subject. The following state ment in reply to these charges, made
 by a resident of the Warren district, is so plain and so broad and so logical
 and so just. that it is reproduced herewith as follows:
 We sometimes hear the large min ing corporations of the state of Ari. Zona accused of ''profiteering," when certain very important factors are not taken into consideration. To some extent the mining companies are simi- lar to the railroads, except that they are more strictly controlled at the pres entt ime. Before they were placed under national board, the Govern ment set the price that the railroads should ask for their prodrlcts-their freight and passenger transportation but they did not fix the wages they were to pay. With the mining com panies, however. while it did not fix the wages, the War Board recommend ed that they be kept at 26 cent cop per, which was done. Then, however. the Government set tho price of cop per at 231A cents.
 Had the price of copper been left to normal trade conditions, there is no doubt but what at this time it would be in the thirties; wages would te higher; profits would be greater. and tie companies mioht then be ac- cused of ''profiteering, but when the costs and the prices to be received for pTpducts are both fixed there is little opportunity for them to make money out of the war. The wages recommended by the war board, were of course, minimum, and there is no objection on the part e the govern ment to increasing them, but the in stances where a wage increase could be eiven are few, and to have a diff fcrent standard in the same or con- tigUous districts would greatly upset the stability of the labor situation. The company unable to pay the higher wage would have its force so curtailed as tn increase costs, and in tim1 would be eliminated as a producing factor, which, in turn, would curtail production.
 Then, too, there is another phase of the situation. The labor shortage is acute; few of the mines are running with anything like their normal force, some running only SO to 65 per cent normal. In the face o, this, however, all are proc I,ing more copper than -----' before. md maintaining record Of which Arizona is rightfully proud. This is quite -the sntithesis of 'profi- tcering." for to produce more copper with fewer men, the most available orc bodies are being exhausted; de- vel0pmeDt 10 insure the permanancy os the property is not being kept up to normal, and many ore bodies that might be commercial at 30 cent cop per, the price it would have been urdr normal conditions, are now pass ed up. Rather than profiteering," it becomes Q question of sacrifice, and the mining companies of the state are vieing with each other to increase pro- duction and break their own records.

 Where the government has fixed prices on the basis of fair return on net investment the report hints at padded deprecations, increased salaries of officials. new construction charged off as repairs. fictitious values on raw materials and manipulated inventories.
 In the steel industry the report says profits increased from 4.7 per cent in 1912 to more than 24 per cent in 1917. One of the smaller mills showed a profit of more than 300 per cent.

 Sugar Record Poor
 The Warren district however, has not as good a record in the matter of sugar sales. Large quantities of sugar have been sold locally for some months past, and dealers state that sales have have been heavier than during the corresponding period of 1917, It was for this reason that sugar has been added to the list of foods governed by card sales. The card system was pri- marily intended to cover -four. bread and pastes.

IF YOU WERE IN THE TRENCHES

Reports just published of speeches made at Oatman by Governor Hunt and Gen. Supt. J. A. Burgess of the United Eastern from the same platform present strong contrast, says the Arizona Gazette. The speeches were made on the occasion of raising of its service flag by Snowfall Miners union. The outstanding views of the two speakers as to what constitute the big things in the present situation of the people of the nation found the following expression:
 THE GOVERNORS VIEW
 within day to speak. 10000 employers of this country have accepted labor reforms without de- termincd protest Patriotism may partly account For this readiness Of big business to accept the mandates of the times. The futility of objection may further account for it. Whatever the reason, the most com fOrting fact is that the war, notwithstanding the suffering and which it imposes, has brought definite relief to thousands of workngmen and has insured the dignity of labor"
 THE MINE MANAGERS VIEW
 Men, these soldiers of will be coming back some day all that left of them, and they are going to ask us, What did you do to win the war;? have faith that will be able to look them in the eye and give satisfactory answer. But if we have 10 tell tale Of strife and disagreement and failure we will both despise and be ashamed of ourselves It is pleasing to soldiers to know that we are hoistng flags to him and celebrating in his honor but he wants to the results of patriotism. Let avoid pickering and squabbng; profiteerng by either employers employees let keep things right at home and all will be well on the battle line"

Although the announcement from
the War Department was not made
as statement from Secretary Baker.
officials saw in 1t further evidence
that Mr.. Baker has been converted
from his policy of not being annoyed
by criticism as the statement is a
direct answer to all the complaints
that Mr.. Stettinius would not have

The Secretary OF War and admins
tration officials generally continue
to insist that all of the numerous
changes announced by Mr.. Baker
were part of a general reorganiZa-
tion and coordination plan worked
out before the Senate committee be-

Washington are beginning to doubt
that Mr.. Bakers original plans swere
nearly so broad as now announced.
