ROAD NOTES FOR
COMPARISON PURPOSES
tFrom Sundays Daily.)

A party OF business men from
Phoenix a few days ago over the
Wickenburg Congress Junction
route. They swear, never again,
and state that the country is better
Tor flying machine purposes than for
automobiling. They say they will go
back by the Black canyon route.
Note No. ? has it thus; Mr.
Richardson, who went to Phoenix
last week to bring up a Kissel car for
r. H Burmister's real estate office
use, came by way OF the Black can
yon route. He says that the much
vituperated road from Prescott to
Jersey Lily, which is so righteously
cussed by the silver mining boys, is
A boulevard compared to some parts
OF the Black canyon route, and that
il the car had not been a dandy he
would never have made it through.
He says any road will beat the Black
Canyon road.
Note No. is to the effect that the
country between northern and south
ern Arizona throughout is rotten.
Iohn Nelson, who drove his car from
Heber to Holbrook on his way to
Mesa, left the car at Holbrook and
took the train, as IS miles OF that
road was enough. Allan B. Jaynes
and party came from Tucson recently
and went over northern Arizona and
back to Tucson. He says that there
is so much bad road in the state that
lit kills the effect OF the small
stretches OF good road one finds. So
talk to the traveller from anywhere
and you hear the same story.
These conditions being as they are,
it is no wonder that recently Mari
copa county voted four million dol
lar bond issue to improve her roads
and other counties have been voting
other issues OF various sizes, and
Yavapai will soon be voting on a big

Industrial Conference Adjourns
For Day Without Reaching a
Vote on Declaration of Right
of Collective Bargaining.
EMPLOYERS GROUP
OPPOSES THE PLAN
Lack of Unanimity Defeats Res
OlutiOn-Baruch Asserts He Is
Optimistic and Hopes For So
luton of Industrial Problems.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The national
Industrial conference adjourned this
afternoon without reaching a vote on
the declaration of the right OF colIec-
tive bargaining proposed by the labor
and public delegates in the central
committee. A motion by Mathew
sWoll. of the labor group. to remain in
session, was defeated, only labor dele
gates supporting it.
The employers group opposed the
collective bargaining resolution and
under the rules a lack of unanimity
among the three groups defeats it.
Should such situation arise it was
feared the labor delegates would bolt
the conference, leaving no alterna-
tive but dissolution.
The fate of the industrial confer
ence hangs on the outcome of the
ability of the committee of fifteen to
reach an agreement on collective
bargaining" representatives of the
three groups-public, labor and capt.
tal--declared today.
Several conferees said unless both
capital and labor showed a spirit of
compromise so that the committee
could make progress in framing de-
claration of the right of workers to
organize in terms acceptable to all
groups, the conference might as we'll
announce frankly agreement could not
be reached and adjourn.
The committee of fifteen resumed
it's sessions early today in the hope
of completing a report for presenta-
tion to the conference. Charles Edward
Russell, of New York, authoriz ed
spokesman of the committee, said be-
che hoped the committee would he
it was not ready. he anticipated 70
objection on the part of employers to
the granting of further time for the
committee deliberations.
After the committee adjourned Ed
ward NJ. Barych, chairman of the pub
lie group, and one OF the outstanding
figures in the conference, said he was
very optimistic regarding the outcome
of the conference.
Il cannot place any faith N run1ors
of dissolution of this conference he
said. II don't believe the representa-
tives of either capital or labor could
possibly justify themselves before the
people of the United States if they
left the conference for any reason
There must be and is some solu-
tion to these grave Industrial problems
and this conference can find The solu-
ton and il given time will find It. It
is impossible to hurry action on such
grave matters

Federal Trade Commission Re-

of the claim that the five big packing
companies of Chicago bid fair to donni-

''The extent to which the packer
should be permitted to enter unrelat-
ed food lines (even assuming legiti.
mate competitive methods) the re-
port said, sis a matter which the pub
lie interest alone should. determine.
Two questions, primarily econom-
ic, are involved:
Does this widening of activity re-
suit in additional economies of pro
duction and distribution?
docs it result and will it continue
to result to the public in lower prices
and better quality of product and SER
vice?
"A third question, not here dis
cussed. relates to the ultimate effect
of such vast and powerful organiza-
tions on the political and social fabric
of American institutions
Included in the list of commodities
said to be falling under control Of the
.tbig five are poultry and game, dairy
products. lard and butter substitutes,
canned and dried vegetables and
fruit, canned, cured and frozen fish,
cocoa, coffee, molasses and cane corn
and maple syrups. In addition Armour

handling extensively soda fountain
organizations and utensils.
The extent of packer control varies
with the locality and commodity and
the dealer whose business is being alb
sorbed" the report asserts.

the packers methods of conducting
much of its business" it adds. exact
statistics on many of these commod-
tiles are not available for the coun-
