The general movement of churches and Sunday schools of different de- nominations to more closely cooperate was given an impetus at an enthusi- astic opening of the twenty first an- nual Sunday school convention at the First Methodist church yesterday morning, for a three day session.
 Expressions favoring this Christian unity were heard from representatives of many different denominations dur ing the afternoon meeting. The key note of this dominant topic was con veyed in the following recommendation which was read:
 Tn view of the movement under way to federate and unify the work of the International Sunday School as- sociation and the General Council of Evangelical Denominations, the execu- tive committe recommends to the con vention that they authorize the newly elected executive committee to pre- pare and put into force a constitution to provide for the carrying out of the agreements made between these two organizations.
 Greatest in the World
 The agreements referred to in these recommendations bring out two of the greatest forward movements of the Sunday school world, in the opinion of many of those attending the conven- tion yesterday. The first is that mem bers of the executive committe be se- lected from each denomination by members of that denomination instead of by the general council as in the past. The second agreement regards the form and contents of all graded Sunday school lessons.
 Under this agreement at least 30 different denominations will be using practically the same form and content in their Sunday school lessons by the | first of the year" was the opinion of E. D. Raley, general secretary of the Arizona Sunday School association.
 This agreement is one proposed by the general council of the United States, and the delegates attending the convention here will vote on it to- day. The general opinion is it will be ratified and place Arizona in the same class with many other states who have already voted their approval.
 Drop Church Work for War
 That the association has a great work ahead of it was pointed out by Secretary Raley in the report which he read at the morning session, which follows in part:
 It has been more than two years since our last convention was held in Tucson. Following this convention two years ago the secretary worked up till July 1, 1918. Beginning with July, 1918, up till July, 1919. no association was done in the state by the secretary as the year was spent in Y. M. c. A. work. Not a single county or district i convention was held during the period Not dollar came into the treasury no literature was distributed. Every man woman and child in the church and | Sunday school seemed absorbed with \ the one great task, that of helping to win the war.
 It would be strange if the work along these lines had not suffered some, but there is little doubt in the minds oi

 AUTO MANY MILES

Three hundred and eighty -four miles on IS gallons of gasoline over the hills, dales and deserts of Arizona is the record achieved by Charley Mitchell in a Chevrolet "490" roadster. Mitchell, who is salesman for the Baswitz Cigar company, claims he has established a record for that kind of driving. Not only has Mitchell hung up a record for cross country travelling on a small amount of gasoline, but he has run 5000 miles on the same set of tires without changing the air.
 In his last trip which was made under unfavorable conditions, Mitchell passed through Superior, Florence Ray, Kelvin, Hayden. Winkelman, Sacaton, Casa Grande. over to Florence, and then back to Phoenix, making a distance of 4SO miles, all on the small amount of gasoline.

those who look carefully but that the work is very much alive, and even puri- fled with the fires of the conflict.
 Within the year that lies before us we should find it possible to organize the work and arouse interest suffi- cient to make this one of the best states for the proper development of child life along religious lines.
 In a program for the coming year, Secretary Raley urges a budget calling for at least $5,000, which he notes ts more than the association has ever spent in a year, but which he con- siders necessary in view of the broader work ahead. He also urges in his re- port that: All IA counties be fully or ganized; all schools of all denomina tions cooperate; the establishment of at least 10 community training schools; a program of intelligent child evan gelism; the addition of 5000 new mem bers to the Sunday schools of the state; a more general reading of the Bible in the home; that one-fifth of the schools of the state reach the 10-point stand ard; a more complete cooperation of all state denominational leaders in pro- noting the interest of the child.
 In talk on "The Spiritual Program of the Church" at the afternoon ses- sion, Rev c. P Moore told his audi ence immediate action was necessary.
 "The program of the church must be put into operation now and not in the future" he said.
 Banquet in Evening
 This sentiment was reiterated by A. M. Locker, who spoke on "Religous Education and the Sunday School As sociation.''
 "The child must be given proper en- vironment right now, not tomorrow" he said. Tt is vital to make our com mu;lity as clean as possible in order to build up Christian character in the younger generation
 The boy problem was taken up at a banquet given in the basement of the church last night, and followed by the regular night services. Speakers for | this were: F. W. Rankin, "The Cathedrals and Religious Life in Spain;" A. W. Locker, What the Sun day Schools Are Doing Throughout the World" and Frank o. Smith, former judge of the superior court of Yava- pal county.

said in statement tonight. The state ment was designed to clear up one of the controversial points of the confer ence
 Public Group Used Teamwork
 The public group in is report points out that while the groups member ship lacked the homogenity of the other units in the conference, there was 'niahifested throughout an astonishing amount of agreement upon the most vital subjects which the group feels lis most hopeful sign for the future and an evidence of the possibility of united action in the interest of the entire nation"
 "The existence of the steel strike" the report declares, had the effect of focusing interest and attention upon present conflict as against constructive measures and agree ment for the fture and made the calm discussion of such constructive measures difficult. Because it was manifestly impossible to dispose of this subject by agreement under the rules of the conference, which re- quired concurrence of at least a ma jority of each of the three groups, the conference decided to defer action upon the question until the subject of collective bargaining was passed upon.
 "In this connection we deem it ims portant to emphasize the fact that the conference did not at any time reject the principle of the right of the work CTS to organize and to bargain collec- lively with their employers. Neither the conference as whole nor any one group in the conference opposed that right. The difficulty that arose and the issue upon which the conference | failed to agree was not upon the princi- pie involved, but upon the method of making it effective.
 Might Have Surmounted Obstacle
 Tn our judgment, even this diff l culty would have not been unsur- mountable had the conference ap- preached it's task in another way. Obviously, the important principle 1 of collective bargaining can not be sharply separated from other ele- ments in the great problem of the re- lations of employers and employed. The right of organization, the protection, | in the exercise of their lawful rights of those who seek to organize the workers; the careful definition of the various forms of organization through | which the right may be exerClSed, and i the machinery necessary for adjust ing disputes arising in connection with that right, must all be taken into &C., count in their proper relation.
 We believe that the experience ot this conference, and of similar con- ference elsewhere, clearly shows the futility of attempting to deal with this great problem in a piecemeal way, by adopting detached and unrelated reso- lutions. The only efficient method in our judgment, is that of formulating a comprehensive and systematically developed program.
 Cannot Deny Rights of Workers
 "We believe that the right of work CTS to organize for the purpose of col lective bargaining with employers through representatives of their owr choosing, cannot be denied or assailed As representatives of the public W, can interpret this right only in tn, sense that wage earners must be ire, to choose what organizations, or as 1 sociations. if any, they will join fo l this purpose.
 : D tlae recognition of the right
Arizona republican., 1919-10-25

workers to organize, to be represented by representatives of their own choice, difficulties will from time to time arise. We believe that it would be possible for a properly constituted arbitral au- thority to adjust such difficulties with justice and fairness to all parties con- cerned.
 The abrupt termination of the con- ference prevented any discussion in the conference of the important mat ter of the right of workers to strike and of the methods whereby without destroying or impairing the right, the public interest may be adequately conserved and protected.
 Must Be Able to Settle Disputes
 We are deeply impressed by the necessity of setting up some machinery for 'effecting the speedy adjustment of disputes arising between workers and employers, whether the latter be pri- vate individuals or firms, or public and governmental authorities. In this con- nection there was submitted to the conference by the secretary of labor, Hon. w. B. Wilson, a well-considered plan for establishing the necessary machinery for conciliation and arbitra- tion. Because this plan was not con- | sidered by the conference, owing to the manner of it's termination, we do not here express our judgment upon it | further than to say that we believe it affords possible solution for the i'm mediate problem and deserves seriocs consideration and study.
 Tt is impossible to discuss in detail the numerous schemes for affording to workers representation in the regu- lation of the conditions of labor, the plans for profit sharing, the many forms of shop councils. and the like. We respectfully suggest that a very great service could be rendered to the nation, to employers and employees alike, if in the department of labor there were established bureau for the purpose of gathering and making available accurate information con- cerning all such experiments and their results. Such a bureau could give ex- pert advice and assistance to any per- sons desiring to undertake plans for bettering labor conditions in particular establishments.
 Government Plans Favored As representatives of the general public, we are of the opinion that the standards relating to the employment of women and children advocated by the women's division and the children's bureau of the United States depart ment of labor should be faForably con- sidered.
 We do not believe that this group can at this time with advantage fur ther proceed with the discussion of the great questions with which we have been dealing. It may be well, however. that a committee, selected by you, composed of persons of varied interest and points of approach, could take up the matter and prepare along some such lines as herein indicated pro- gram which will be of present value Upon the presentation of the report of such committee, steps could be taken to give it practical effect through an- other conference representing capital , labor an dthe public, if in the circum- stances then existing it should seem } to you to be wise.'

KILL OR CAPTURE
 TR|O IF ROBBERS

BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Oct. 24.-One of the three bandits who today robbed the State Bank of Beaver Falls and murdered a director of the institution, was killed late tonight near Cooks Ferry, and the other two were cap tured by an armed posse of state troops, detectives and citizens.

GROUP MAKES REPORT ON INDUSTRIAL MEET

Continued From Page One) public group was not sufficiently representative to undertake a general program and also was handicapped by popular disfavor.
 Industrial Board Plan Favored
 The industrial board plan of Secre- tary Wilson, which met with favor among the delegates, provides for boards of employers and employees in each industry, with a general board of appeals and as a final resort in case of dispute, an umpire chosen by the parties to the dispute or from a stand ing list of 20 named by the president.
 Several public representatives were not present at the final session. Of these Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corpora tion, went to New York Wednesday noon and J. J. Forester, president of the Order of Railway Clerks, withdrew following similar action on the part of the representatives of organized labor.
 Holding that the industrial confer ence as originally constituted accom- plished more than appeared on the surface. Chairman Baruch pointed out five results of the gathering. These he outlined as follows:
 Brought Out Five Points
 First, it brought the issues involved home to the entire nation.
 Second, it demonstrated the great difficulty of the solution. Third, the discussion had the effect of setting the entire people thinking and from this thought will come the solution.
 Fourth, there was brought home to all participants the intimate rela- tions that exist between the farming interests and all industrial questions.
 Fifth, what was not brought clearly was that both capital and labor owed to society-which is inclusive of cap- ital and labor-the duty to produce 1 in. quantity at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the proecting of both capital and labor all of the things that are necessary to keep up the l proper, just and humane standards of modern life.'
 Every Citizen Interested Asserting that industrial problems of the nation are of importance to every citizen, regardless of whether l he be wage earner or a salaried person
 Mir. Baruch, in his letter of trans initial, said all workers merit not alone proper financial treatment but the recognition of their position as part of the foundations of society itself This recognition, he said, must come as a privilege granted, but as matter of inherent right.
 'The outcome of this conference, MT. Baruch asserted. must be, in my opinion, that there will be manifested an increasing effort on the part oi the employers to see that alone prop. CT wages are paid but that the human rights of the workers are considered The employer has certain rights whicf must be recognized and coupled witf the rights is the obligation to see tha all of his employees are accorded jus treatment
 The Gompers resolution, the rejec' ton of which led to the withdrawa of the labor delegation from the in T dustrial conference, was defeated il the employers group by vote of ter to four, Chairman Harry 4. Wheele

Navajo 'COunty's Tax
Rate Highest in State

With tax rate of S1.63 for
county purposes, plus the state
rate of 60 cents for state pur-
poses, Navajo county's rate
towers high over any other coun-
ty in the state. Added to this
rate of 1928 on each S100 valla-
tion the bond and other special
school taxes must be paid. In
some of the towns the special
school taxes will bring the rate
up to near S4. But the high
rate is not the only thing the
taxpaXRlsshave to worry about.
During the last five years the
assessable valuations have been
boosted beyond the sky line until
some properties are levied on at
their full cash values. The coun-
ty tax roll now shows a valua-
tion about double it was when
was secured and the
tax rate fiutters around at about
the same old figure notwith-
this increase. The fol-
lowing table shows a compari-
son ofthe tax rates for the year
1919 in the various counties Of
the state. To each of these
rates must be added 60c, the
