WAGE QUESTION
MUST Be SETTLED
FOURTEEN LABOR BODIES ACT
ING AS UNIT THREATEN
NATIONWIDE STRIKE

Washington, Aug. 6.-Acting as
unit for the first time in the presen-
tation of wage demands, the four
teen principal railroad unions today,
in expressing to Director General
Hines their disapproval of President
Wilson's proposal to consider ipcreas-
ed pay, declared that wage questions
must be settled Immediately.
A general program to meet the
present crisis, involving the threat
of nationwide strike, was submit
ted to the director general. 1t was
suggested that the money to provide
increased pay should come from an
appropriation by Congress, to be fol-
lowed by appropriate freight rate ad-
vances. This temporary relief" must
be accomplished by determined eff
fort to reduce the cost of living.
Permanent solution of the railroad
problem was declared to depend upon
the removal Of returns to capital as
the sole purpose of operation, and
the director general, accordingly,
was asked to recommend to Presi-
dent Wilson that he attempt to OBJ
ldlu carry pdSSoSC Wy SohS hSSS Va
organized labor's bill to eliminate
private capital from control of the
railroads and to give the employees
a share in the profits. The union de-
clared the belief of the workers that
transportation rates should be suffi-
cient to guarantee just wages, main
tain the properties and give equitable
returns on money invested.
Interesting as were the sugges-
tions for removing the menace of a
nationwide strike, the unified action
of the fourteen organizations at
tracted equal attention. Labor lead
ers who were questioned declined to
say whether the unions would act as
a whole in the future, but declared
that they were going through with
the present situation as the body.
The result will be to put the solid
weight of 100000 persons, virtual
ly the entire vail transportation per
sonnel of the United States, back OF
the demands, with the possibility as
never before of the paralysis of the
nations life if a general strike
should ensue.

NOTICE TO,TAxPAYERs

YOU are respectfully advised that all
unpaid tnxes for'the year 1918, as well
as those tor previous years, are delin-
auent, upon which State law attaches
a penalty, which in fact pile up so fast,
that as business proposition. you can
not afford it; in fact, you can better
afford to make most any kind OF sacri-
fee to raise the money, rather than to
have suit brought for collection. such
as court costs. sheriff fees, ETC.. Rp-
proximating $500 additional.
Despite the fact that numerous mo-
tices have been mailed from this Office
relative to unpaid or delinquent taxes,
the county treasuIer's books show that
in too many cases the taxpayer is guilty
of neglect. Some former owner OF
your property may have neglected to
pay, and you may have acquired it with
this absolute obligation hanging over
1t. Are you sure you own your home
in which you live. or the land you call
your farm. Are you sure that your
property is not one of many which has
been sold to the county, or to some
one with little ready. cash who con.
sidered it & good pick up, has pur-
chased the tax sale certificate, and is
waiting few months until he can de-
mand a tax deed, and armed with this
and accompanied by the sheriff, come
along and put you out.
Don't buy piece of property unless
you are absolutely sure that all taxes
have been paid; get an abstract, or call
at this Office and we will look it up for
you.
The 1918 delinquents will soon be put
upon the Back Tax Book. as the law
directs; don't let some one else acquire
a tax deed to your property by paying
the taxes upon it.
The county supervisors levy taxes
for the purpose Of raising funds to
build and maintain good roads, bridges,
schools aud school houses. and to create
interest and sinking funds to repay for
the building of them; for the payment
of salaries of all officials who administer
your public affairs. and for every ex-
pense connected with the administra-
tion of county business and your pro-
portionate share of State expense.
The function of this Office is to notify
the taxpayer and collect taxes. Don't
force upon us the unpleasant task of
fling suit. rs that will mean additional
costs to the taxpayer; instead, allow
me the pleasure of handing you q re,
ceipt In full for all taxes to date.

No Fishing ANowed
on Mt. Graham,
Stafford, ARIZONA,
June II. 1919.

June II, 1919
EDITOR GUARDIAN:
Many people have asked me
whether or not fishing was to be
permitted on Mt. Graham this
year. Iti is regretted that this
pleasure will be denied the peo.
pie, but owing to the extremely
dry season last year and the
year before, the fish in the Gra-
ham mountains have decfeased
instead of increased and it is
therefore necessary that the
fishing privilege be denied for
this year. Although not so stat
ed on the fishing and hunting
licenses. licenses so issued are
of no effect on Mt. Graham for
the year 1919.
Very truly yours,
THEODORE 7. SWIFT,
