out having convinced the American
people that you had exhausted your
resourcefulness and your patience in
an effort to come to some common
agreement.
AT time when the nations of
the world are endeavoring to find
way of avoiding international war,
are we to confess that there is no
method to be found for carrying
on industry excepet in the spirit and
with the very method Of war? Must
suspicion and hatred and force rule
US in civil life? Are our industrial
leaders and our industrial workers
to live together without faith in each
other, constantly struggling for ad-
vantage overs each other, doing
naught but what is compelled?
Informed, Although Sick.
My friends, this would be an in
tolerable outlook, prospect un-
worthy of the large things done by
this people in the mastering of this
continent-indeed, it would be an
invitation to national disaster. From
such a possibility my mind turns
away, for my confidence js abiding
that in this land we have learned
how to accept the general judgment
upon matters that affect the public
veal. And this is the very heart and
soul of democracy.
1T is my understanding that you
have divided upon one portion only
of a possible large program which
has not been fully developed. Be-
fore "a severance is effected, based
upon present differences, believe
you should stand together for the
development of that full program
touching the many questions within
the broad scope of your investiga-
tons. 1t was in my mind when this
conference was called that you
would concern yourselves with the
discovery of those methods by
which a measurable cooperation
within industry may have been Sc
cured, and if new machinery needs
to be designed by which minimum
of conflict between employers and
employees may reasonably be hoped
for, that we should make an effort
to secure its adoption.
Agree on General Plan.
1T cannot be expected that at
every step all parties will agree up
on each proposition or method sug-
gested. It is to be expected, how
ever, that as a whole, plan or
program can be agreed upon which
will advance further the productive
capacity of America through the
establishment of surer and heartier
cooperation between all the ele-
ments engaged in industry The
public expects not less than that you
shall have that one end in view and
stay together until the way is found
leading to that end or until it is re-
vealed that the men who work and
the men who manage American in
dustry are set upon divergent paths
that all efforts at cooperation is
doomed to failure.
Il renew my appeal with full ap-
prehension of the almost ilcompar-
able Importance of your tasks to
this and to other peoples, and with
full faith in the patriotism and good
faith of each other that you push
your task to happy conclusion"

Telegraph Strike News

How little may depend upon the reports of the progress made in the telegraphers' strike is shown in the statement of President Konenkamp of the c. T. [. A. regarding the situation in Arizona where tie-up represented have been effected. It was further stated as something of which MT. Konenkamp had accurate knowledge that the situa- tion here was so serious that Governor Campbell had ence to ecure settlement of the strike.
 The statement was wholly without foundation, no complaint had been made to the governor. He had knowledge except from the press reports that there a telegraph strike and matter of fact there is other knowledge of one in Phoenix, the central telegraph point of the southwest So far as we know all the other claims of Konenkamp are as baseless as this one. In fact, we are warranted in believing them to be as baseess until they have been confirmed from a source known to be less un- reliable
 On the other hand, we suppose the claims of the telegraph companies are exaggerated. There is strategy in making exaggerated claims for they have an effect upon wavering employees those who are waiting to see which side is likely win,
 Arizona, probably seemed by NIr. Konenkamp a good place to plant victory for the C. T. '. A. by of what he believed be it's remoteness. It lies off to one corner of the telegraph map of the country, but a familiar with the subject of communications Konenkamp should have under stood that it remote than New Jersey Ohio. He might well have located the plant" in Chicago or New York

As to Russia

There has been undoubted distaste in this country to a further interference in the affairs of Russia It owing in part despair of the ability the Russians free themselves and it may he traced in part disgust of sensible citizens with parlor bolshevists who favored a recognition time, of the soviet regime-something, that probably contemplated by Washington. 2
 So revoting, though, has the bolshevst govern ment appeared have learned of it's follies and it's excesses that believe the proposition to recognize the Kolchak government would meet with approval. If went into the world humanity must that the has not yet been finished that more hideous foes of humanity have never ex- isted than the bolshevists the L W. ". of Russia.
 The worlds task if ever the saving of humanity task will be completed until bolshevism in Russia has been extrpated and the leaders and the murderers there have been properly punished
 That topsy turvy country must be set right side up again else it must be isolated and guard strong enough thrown about it confne insanity within itself. The latter would keep the rest of the world busy for many years, perhaps, generations. The former would be a shorter task
 But so far participation in it is concerned that is something that be settled in peace conference. That is something the representa- tves of our people in congress must determine.

It may have been plain ignorance that led the Japanese enlisted men in Vladivostok to inscru- tably at American officers whom they passed with out altering their bent knee, drag footed shuffe in the least It may have been their desire to show their knowledge that Japanese general was the ranking general of the Allies and that there times many Japanese soldiers in Siberia there Americans. It may have been desire 10 impress on their Allies that they were good anyone if a trifle better. Whatever it was the deliberateness of Japanese nonsauting was very ticeable
 It may as well be admitted frankly that the Americans did not get along well with the Japanese in Siberia. Nor did the British get along well with them. There was constant friction between the Jap anese and Americans-not official friction for of ficially the Japanese polite and ceremon- ious and obliging it would be possible for any body to be. The friction almost entirely of an unofficial nature; but it constant friction.

 Mir. Gompers has flattered himself his proX- unity the president. He has been favored with many marks of presidential favor. By reason Of his supposed intimacy he has apd then spoken for uhe president and and then with or without authority permission he used to seize and crack the presidential whip over the cringing sixty-fifth congress. MT. Gompers does not like Burleson.
 But there is another compared with whom in the a Hun a Turk.

 If Colonel House and the president were to agree should relieve the administration of himself they would permit him to do in the least self -humiat- ing manner-by resignation. They would not likely have permitted him remain so long under fire which has been growing hotter and hotter if they were likely to come to such an agreement BuIleson would have had ntmation long before this that . his resignation would be acceptable and he would retirement But he has given no hint: on the con trary, the plans Of BurIeson as announced by him all look continuance of his activity as a scourge off democracy as d fostering thorn in the side of organized labor.

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
The Water Supply

June II, 1919. Editor of Arizona Republican, Phoenix,
 Arizona
 Dear Sir:
 The magnitude of the projected city water supply bond issue and huge en- terprise it proposes to finance is so large as to make it a question of the utmost importance to every citizen. Errors of detail are to be expected but any error of fundamental planning must mean. embarrassment to all futur- ity. Being neither an engineer nor financier nor having had an oppor tunity to study the question, 1 do not regard myself competent to pass judg- ment on it's merits as it now appears, yes or no, if a specific single proposi- tion, the Verde river.
 I desire, however, to call attention to an alternative that may have been carefully considered and discarded without my hearing about it. 1 refer to a possible water supply at some point on the Hassayampa river either above or below Wickenburg, I would not even suggest at this time. Per conally, am prejudiced in favor of an underground supply if near the surface for reasons not necessary to recite now. In other words, even if the water comes from the Verde, 1 would prefer to see it come from beneath the sur face and I understand in filtration ap- plies to some open body of water like the Mississippi river which the people of St. Louis are required to chew with ! t.l. T. l- laA n | believe however, that a perfectly good supply of water and perfectly good | process can be provided on either the Verde or the Hassayampa, wherefore ! the chief purpose of this commounica- tion is to call attention from the view 1 point of the layman to the cost of con- struction. Though not familiar with 1 the Verde section 1 understand that it 1 is a frightful country through which l to build a pipe line and from Phoenix i to it's source every foot of it is in the opposite direction from transportation facilities. On the other hand, the gen. eral grade from the Hassayampa to 1 Phoenix is a gentle slope and wherever l the line would be situated it's most 1 distant point would be but a few miles from a railroad over a fairly smooth country or possibly closely paralleling 1 the road.
 The layman's conclusion must be that the construction costs would be easy as compared with the Verde route It goes without saying that We want to have the best water We can get whatever it's cost, but all other things being equal this matter of construc- tion is something that should be given proper attention unless that has been done that it may not be overlooked. am willing to take chances on being charged with having been asleep
 Very truly yours,

Useless Waste of Time and Wind

The senators who are delaying the progress of tle Knox resolution in the senate in order as they say, that may have the fullest discussion have beautiful faith in the persuasive power of orltory. If there were possibility of making con vcrts against it there would be some sense in the delay of its presentation by the committee until Monday. But certainly there is no senator who is simple minded to suppose that there will be d change of a single vote as a result of a debate which may be prolonged for weeks and which will naturally become a premature discussion embracing fhe whole subject of the League of Nations In any event that debate will be gone over again.
 In the very nature of things, the earlier there is a disposition of the Knox resolution the better it will be for everybody the friends of the league it's opponents, and the peace conference If the reso- lltion should be adopted that will certainly indicate the rejection the covenant as part of the peace treaty. If the resolution should be defeated the posi- ton Of the friends of the league would be greatly strengthened while the morale of it's opponents would ue measuraby weakened
 The opposition to the resolution though strength the impression of a stiffening of senatorial sent- ment against the covenant It indicates an unwiI- ngness of the supporters of the treaty to meet the issue, hoping doubt if action with reference it may be postponed the treaty has actually been signed opposition it will disntegrate
 There is a most fororn chance of that The supporters of the resolution whatever their strength may he, are more closely bound together than were tho signatories of the round robin.
 They are evidently determined upon d course of action regardless of the final action of the peace con- terence and it is due the conference to be informed quickly as possible whether the resolution can be adopted.

rontier Days
ad0pted

We are always pleased to boost the Prescott Frontier Days" for two reasons. One is that Prescott is a fine place be about July f. so that those who are there are sure of having good .ime In fact Prescott is a good place be at any time of the year.
 The other reason is that Prescotts hospitality is of state wide knowledge. It is place in Ari- zona, and mind you, do say there others, where everybody is made to feel at home The hotels do not take advantage of the disturbed law of supply and demand by reason of congestion of traffic, to exat their rates and reduce their service
 When there is need of it the homes of Prescott thrown open preferably to friends and acquaint auces but strangers are not barred if there is no room for them in the places of public entertainment Everyone who goes to Prescott on Frontier Days" OF other days is made to feel that he is welcome guest.
 The program of Frontier Days is one of the few and dominating reminders of ancient days to which those of us who lived here in those days some times remember with mingled fondness and regret and thankful this annual reminder of them.

] Win Back Freedom and Learn
 News Of Rob's Return

Now the fact is that I never made any choice at all of how l should give the famous pr. Hamilton Certeis over to the authorities.
 Fate handled his fortune and used me as a tool. Of my two plans. chance determined which I should ] follow. According to one plan, wodld return to the Lorimer house and as soon as the family should recover from i it's asionishmeut at my resurrection. l would confide to Daddy Lorimer the whole story of CeIteis' treachery Probably Daddy would tease me, at first as q jolly little specimen of q private detective. but once he was con- yinced, he would be horribly disap- pointed in the man he had thought 1 his friend. It would be as hard for him as it had been for me to believe the real truth about the fascinating doctor
 ! But by this procedure, by thus talk ing my rightful place in the family, l would lose my only opportunity to meet my husband as q stranger.
 After leaving the secret passage un- der Cefteis fountain, l had walked down the alley to the drug store at the corner of the street and had or dered an ice cream soda, partly be- cause 1 could hardly talk until 1 had had a drink and partly because needed change for telephoning
 But as I sat in the crowd at the public counter, my mind was fixed on d most uncommon matter 1 was con- sidering my second plan which was to set q job with Tommy in the grocery, and then to make my report ;.bout 1 Certeis to the local department of the government secret service.
 But this scheme had an obstacle which l could not overlook. Undoubt- edly it would let me in for something like the third degree myself. I would have to explain how l. a pretty un- known girl, happened to be a resident of Certeis' mansion, and no matter what l averred the investigators would agree at least on one conclusion about me
 And that wasn't a very pleasont one to consider. 1 couldn't attach that kind of a history to the name of Eloise Vanderlyn. The honor of the dead girl compelled me to avoid the risk.
 1 called up the Lorimer house. A new maid answered the phone. I did not know her voice. was glad she did not know mine.
 Mrs. Lorimer7 was my brief com mand.
 Mrs. Lorimer is out of town, ma dame the maid replied.
 Miss Lorimer?" l asked in a busi- ness like tone.
 Miss Lorimer is away also. The family has gone 10 New York to wei come Mir. Robert Lorimer"
 At the sound of my husbands name all the blood Tn my body seemed to rush to my brain. I choked but man.

BurIeson the ImmobiIe

The American Federation of Labor, We are pretty sure will waste the time it spends in adopting resolution requesting the president to remove Bure son. That Burleson is on old Man of the Sea on the neck of the democratic party and threatens the hrottng of it is believed but the president does not appear to be convinced of that And if he were con vinced it is very doubtful whether he would act.
 The president has done many things for party expediency, more thaR the most partisan of his pre- decessors He has done much for labor that is, for organized labor and he would probably do much more but he is not likely even for votes to do any thing he does not want to do And evidently he does not want to fire Burleson.
 It thing grant every demand that lbor that is organized labor with definite voting strength, has made for wages, working conditions and preference; that was something that cost the president nothing either in money personal in cnation. He had previously been as preferential toward the so o-called capitalstic class he had no strong convictions way another.
 But Burleson is child of his own creation; one of those of the official family especially favored His offenses of which complaint made either by labor or the public are not new They are only cumula- tive. Phoenix labor leader nearly three years ago respectfully requested Burleson to get and when he did not. imperious demand made upon the president for expulsive action.
 The president has condoned the misdeeds and the ineffciency of Burleson years and three months, has assumed responsibility for Burleson so that it cannot be reasonably expected that he will stand by him for the brief period of one year and nine months Burleson is no worse at heart to- day than he was on March f. 1913 He is no less "er.ccnt than he had shown himself to he 52y time
