P.S. G. FIGHTS MOVE
TO RAISE GAS PRICE
Accuses Consolidated Of vio-
lating Statute in Cutting
Down Candle Power.
DECENTRALIZATION ALLEGED
Commission Disputes Necessity
for Increasing Rate From
Present 80 Cents.
GENERALIZATION ALLEGED

Because during the year 1918 II dis
trbuted gas of less than the statutory
"A candle power requirement the Con-
soiIdated Gas Company in its suit ia
increase It's rate from so cents has not
rome into court with "clean hands," ac-
.ording to answer of the Public Ser
yce Commission, which was serXed
Yesterday. II 10 charged that this Cut
ling down Of the illuminating power wal
illegal and fraud on the public.
The cause OF the decrease OF the
candle-power was that the company was
extracting tuluol, one Of the principal
Ingredients of I N 7. for the Govern
ment. When this process was started
/: asked permission to decrease the
candle power. The commission replied
that it would grant the request II the
company would cut down the price OF
It's gas In proportion. but the company
refused the offer. Now II appears that
the decrease was made without author
lily.
The commission also holds that the
company has no right to base an appli-
cation for an increase in rates upon the
cost OF production In 1918, which wal
IN exceptional year.
The answer of the commission also
opposes the contention OF the company
mat the value of its property used in
the actual production Of gas has In
creased by about S14,000.000 over the
rgure found by the United States Su-
IRENE Court when II declared the eighty
cent rate constitutional. And further.
the commission suggests that perhaps
the value of such property was really
less than the s5S,612,435 figure set by
the Supreme Court, as 1t Is alleged the
court did not investigate the validity OF
certain figures that were furnished by
the company.
The answer goes on to say that dur
ing 4 greater part Of the period since
the company has secured reimburse
lnent for the entire expense of manu-
featuring and distributing gas and
earned moro than & per cent. per annum
on the fair value Of property used in
tuch manufacture aud distribution, and.
ase defendants are Informed and believe.
the complainant has paid to its stock
holders dividends OF or per cent. q
! ear, and has in addition accumulated
and invested profits aggregating not
less than $2a.00o.00o. besides setting
aside reserves for the protection of It's
property investment and the net income
therefrom aggregating not less than
SIS, 900. 900. Such undistributed profits

CLOUDS DROP MORE
THAN NOV. NORMAL
RAIN IN 48 HOURS

As the month of November was
slipping off the calendar with only
0.03 of an inch rainfall to its credit
in Phoenix, which is o.93. of an inch
below normal. the clouds punched up
with rush like a belated Christmas
shopper and during the last As hours
released enough moisture here to
bring the total precipitation for the
month TO 10y inches Although
lowering over the city all day Satur-
daoy, the clouds sprinkled only a dila-
tory GAO of an inch, but played a fast
return engagement yesterday after
noon and stirred up the Phoenix mud
with 0.47 more inches of rainfall.
which, added to OH of an inch pre-
cipitation reported during the early
morning hours yesterday brought the
total for the As hours to 104 inches
But according to unofficial reports.
the ethreal rain carriers reserved their
feature performance for Ray. which
was visited by the heaviest cloudburst
in years
According to road reports received
here by the U. S. weather bureau the
ella river at San Carlos is rising
rapidly. but the roads in the vicinity
are Still passable. The Pima roads
were reported in good condition.
The rain yesterday concentrated it
self upon the south central portion of
the state. Benton reported two inches
IN eight hours; Tucson, one-half inch.
Flagstaff, 0.02 of an inch and Yuma

COST Of BUILDING
MAY REMAIN HIGH

The cost of building materials, says
c. H. Johnson, local builder, 20
hand in hand with the prices of other
commodities. Labor commands a
much higher wage than formerly. The
farmer, the stock raiser, the manufac-
turer and the retailer get more for
their products and their wares than
they used to get. And, said Mr..
Johnson, Relatively, building is no
higher now than it ever was. 1t is no
use to look back to pre-war prices.
The whole world is on a new basis.
Reports from the department of labor
and other government agencies con-
firm the opinions OF our great indus
trial leaders that there is no reason
to expect appreciate reduction prices
for many years.
"On the contrary, it seems as if
building is to cost more in 1921 and
1922, on account of the very low sup
ply of building materials and the vast
demand that is the result of four years
of war and building postponements.
An examination of price history fol-
lowing great wars shows that no
downward trend in prices can be hoped

TOthePubliC
In the present situation which
has arisen determine the Open
or closed shop policy in this city,
we wish to make our position
clear.
For the past eight years we have
operated with union men.
On Sept. 20, Of this year, we we're
informed by the Electrical Work.
ers Union that they would per-
form no work on any building
not started before Sept. 3, seven
teen days previous to our being
advised, unless men of all crafts employed on
the work were members OF union
There was no consideration given to contracts
then in effect, some made as far back as july
and which happened to be with owners and
contractors who favored and were operating on
an open shop basis.
This condition has been in effect for several
weeks, and finding that we were to be given no
consideration or justice in the matter, and after
our employees refused to work on contracts as
stated above we took the only course open to
us, and suspended operations until such time as
we could get all, and not part, of our work
completed
We take this opportunity to publicly announce
that we will from now on operate an open shop,
policy which the business men and the public
at large have endorsed without reservation.
This is not stand against Unionism as applied
to the building trades, but a stand for right,
justice and self-preservation.
We regret that men who have been with us for
several years, and several who have grown up
with lis must be renlaced hu others but the
