WANT MEN GIVEN JOBS
ON CITY TROLLEY CARS
WHEN VACANCIES OCCUR

At the regular meeting of Central
Labor Union held at Labor temple
last night a resolution was adopted
asking the City Electric company to
substitute men for women operatives
on trolley cars as fast as vacancies
occur. The union has no intention Of
demanding the removal of the women
from cars at once. but merely asks
that men be given these places when
women quit. The employment of
women was resorted to as a war
measure, when male help became
scarce, the union men said last night,
and now that most of the soldiers
have returned to civil life and many
men are unable to find employment.
every possible effort should be made
to find work for them.
The union also adopted a rCsOlu-
ton, with but two or three dissenting
votes, favoring the manufacture of
beer containing not over 2.7J per cent
alcohol, and light wines.

carried household fixtures and furni-
ture on its crest to Pinal creek. Sev-
eral houses were carried down in the
torrent and the Arizona Eastern pas
senger train, due IN the city at 1885

STREET DANGERS.

Along with other. cities New York is having it's experiences with the au- tomobile 'busses and they are begin ming to awaken to the fact that they are not contributing anything to the safety. of the highways or to the pas- sengers. There have been collisions with trolley cars. in which Of course blame is always thrown on the other fellow and collisions with poles. where there is nothing else to do but to blame the pole, but in most instances witnesses have testified to the reck : less manner in which the 'busses were being operated s
 It is Q case of course where there is no regard for anyone else. There is only one purpose, in the mind of the operators and that is to take in the fares at the fastest possible rate with trip can be made the greater the in- come.
 Not a little criticism was indulged in when it was required by the last session of the general assembly in this state that public service car owners must file a bond, varying from s5.0Oo up to s10,00o according to the number of passengers carried, to cover any claim for personal injury or death as the result of the operation of the car It was held to be a hardship upon the public service car owner with out any thought being given to the protection of the passengers or other users of the highway
 The importance of this, as well as other regulatory requirements. is vel illustrated in the New York accidents where busses have ben going. accord ing to witnesses, 30 miles an hour where no examination was passed bs drivers and. where one operator of 2 car only owned an equity in it and possessed no insurance to cover in jury to passengers though the car wa; overturned and the patrons scattered about the street That indicates a la1 condition for laws which New Yorl has but shows the wisdom of the bonding requirement in this state.

IMPROVED CONDITIONS,

There are those who are optimistic enough to feel that the relinquishment of control of sugar by the govern committee completes its duties at the end of the year, may result in inn proved conditions andl that the open ing up of the mari7etl will soon sta bilize itself and that there will be plenty of sugaf to be had
 That there will be plenty of sugar after the first of the year there is lit tie or no doubt. Those in a posi- tion to take advantage of the an- nouncement to the effect that the gov ernment will not undertake to con- troi the product after the first of the year, or those who have been banking on such an amouncement, have look ed well to the fact that there will be enough sugar to meet all demands a: soon as tho price suits them, and witt producers, ,jobbers and dealers giver that we will get all we want without a handsome advance in price for it.
 There is as great a demand for su. gar this year as there is sugar tC meet it. Cuban sugar which nor mally supplies three-quarters of ou requirements is being sought else where and while we can expect tht new crop after the first of the year i will be purchased at a. higher f1gurt than would have been necessary hat 1 1t been contracted for last Septembe as the sugar board desired to do. Ey cry little addition ali along the lini must be taken up by the consumer. H is already paying oyer twice as mucl for his sugar as he used to and h faces the probability of paying .twic as much again. Sugar at that price even if he can get all he wants, vii hardly be pleasing. Those who loo for improved conditions may be righ
 but it will depend upon what the consider improved conditions"

A WISE DECISION.

What must be regarded as a sound ana sensible attitude to take is that which is indicated by the unwilling ness of the hard coal miners to re. spond to such effocts as were put forth to get them 10 join the soft coal miners in their blocking of coal pro- duetion. The situation is already bad enough with the bituminous min CTS causing 50 much embarrassment 10 the country. That the anthracite Tainefs could do much to make the situation far worse !s unquestioned but they show due regard for the country when they refuse ie become a party to any sympathetic strike
 II Is rlain 10 the coun ry and 10 tte hard coal miners that there is nc chance for the soft coal miners to succeed in their outrageous demands 1t has been clearly stated what they can. expect and the outlook seems promising that they will accept anl e back to work without causing any more trouble and suffering.
 But there is reason to believe thai the hard coal miners would refrain form a sympathetic strike even if con ditions were different than they art just now. They are working under a contract that will not expire unti tome. time next March They are no seeising to get away from the pro. visions thereof but any sympathetic strike would simply mean repudia ton of their promise in behalf of 2 body of workers whose demands hay, brought forth nothing but public con dennation.
 It was q wild idea to think of get tirg the anthracite miners to go out even though there has been a wave O contract breaking among organiza tions during the past year. Common sense was against the plan and ap parently it moro than balanced an, appeal that was made for such ac ton.

It Is likewise shown in the restrictions on the Transportation of fuel oil which are made necessary because resort has been made thereto in order to over come the coal shortage.
 The horsepower that goes to waste every day because of the failure to develop the water privileges that are available IS enormous. Many are the instances where great quantities of electrical energy have been developed by damming streams and utilizing the chesp water power.

THE POSTAL SURPLUS.

Postmaster General Burleson has been fond of telling about the mar velous attainments of his department since he became the head of it, though much of it has been done to offset tho criticisms made of his manage tneut but in his report of the opera liens of the department he calls atten- lion not only to the two million sur plus for the year but of the ss6, ,Deo,- boe surplus for the past seven years in contrast to the deficits of his pre- decessors.
 Chairman Steenerson of the house post oflce and post rcads committed takes occasion to point out. however that this surplus is due to the fact that less compensation Is being paid to the railroads today than in 1913 bs r5.eee.oOo and that even though on1, a third of the claims of the railroads which are for s10o, o,ooo.oeo for servic, =eaGered over and above the amour received, are allowed the surpiui would be wiped out. The chairmal does not indicate what the chances are for the claims being allowed bu when he states that the volume O. nail has moro than doubled in tn, beriod mentioned it would appear tha a certain portion at least could be ex pscted. To reduce the ccmpensatioi to the railroads under such condition is manifestiy unfair. especially whei with the railroads under governnen direction the rates for service ren dered thereby have been several time increased.
