JEROME MINERS GET MORE PAY
 FROM JULY 16

JEROME, July 25.-Mine and -smelter employees of the Verde, G1obe-Miami and Bisbee-Douglas copper districts are to be paid on d basis of 24-cent metal, beginning on July l6.
 Managers and representatives of all the leading Arizona copper com panies met at Tucson and agreed, in view of the continued high cost of living and the improved condition of the industry, to grant employees material advances in wages. Jerome was represented at that conference by Robert E. Tally, assistant gem eral manager of the United Verde, James s. Douglas and George King don, president and manager of the U. V. Extension. The three officials have returned.
 The mining men took advantage of the opportunity to revise their wage scales thoroughly and make them conform. All Arizona camps were supposed to be paying the same money under the Miami scale, but through varying interpretations or changes made to meet local condi- tions, differences had arisen For instance, miners in Jerome have of late been receiving five cents day less than miners in Bisbee; shovelers were receiving five icents more in Bisbee. Carpenters were paid $ cents day more in Jerome than in Bisbee and other mechanics 30 cents more. The rates now are all stan dardized.
 When the Miami scale was adopt ed, miners and muckers were placed on the same basis. This was pal pably and admittedly unfair as a miner must not only have greater skill but accept more responsibility than his brother of the shovel. In evitably there was dissatisfaction. The conference at Tucson Monday decided to make a 50 cent difference between muckers and miners, and a 25 cent difference between miners and mechanics.
 Under the revised scale, miners in the Verde district will draw SOLO, a day; muckers $500, mechanics $6.35. Timbermen are placed on the same basis as mechanics. Other classes of labor receive corresponding ad- gances.
 Those ill attendance upon the con- ference expressed regret and disap- pointment that the cost of living had not decreased since the end of the war, but none saw much hope for relief in the near future. The con- census of opinion was that wages must be increased to enable the workers of the industry to live in reasonable comfort.
 The advances come without any concerted demand from the em- ployes. Workers, with the exception of the insignificant handful of wob plies who attempted to tie up the Globc-Miami district, have been con tent to bide their time until higher prices for copper would automati cally increase wages. The action of the companies in voluntarily increas- ing the base wage has excited much favorable comment and general sat isfaction.

The danger from the pink bollworm
had long been recognized. and regula-
tons Were made by the government
requiring the fumigation of all cotton
from foreign countries before it could
be landed in the United States Ev-
cry possible precautionary measure
was taken, but there came one thing
against which even the government
could not guard The great storm
that ravaged the Gulf country in 1915
washed ashore around Trinity Bay.
and possibly elsewhere on the Texas
coast, great quantities of cotton lint
and cotton seed.
Nobody gave any special thought to
the matter at the moment. but when
the next year the pink bollworm APP
Feared all around the bay. it became
apparent that some Of the washed-up
cotton must have come across the
Gulf from the Laguna district of Mex
leo, where the pest had gained foot
ing some time earlier. That may not
have been the only source Of infesta-
ton, but it was the one that gave the
greater part of the trouble
An oil mill at Hearne had received
some seed from Mexico in 1916 and
the bollworm appeared in a few fields
in the Immediate neighborhood Of the
mill. The infestation at this point
was entirely eliminated in short order
however, ny uprootiag and burning all
growing cotton, collect ng and burning
all scattered parts. the prompt milling
and destruction of the seed. and the

A mill at Beaumont, too, had re-
ceived seed from Mexico and had yIo-
lated its agreement to use it only for
1t developed that some Of
this seed was sold to planters through
ont a radius of 20 or 30 miles from
the mill. Each sale was traced and
the surrounding district included in
the cleanup operations.
But it was the washed-1p cotton in
fcstation at Trinity Bay that developed
the really alarming situation. involving
more than COCO acres of cotton sur

ter careful examination. At the end
Of the season the reports Of all the
investigators showed that absolutely
no evidence of the presence of the
bollworm could be found.
But the success of the campaign will
not be regarded as absolutely certain
until two other summers have passed.
IN the meantime the quarantine viii
be vigorously enforced.
Prior to the discovery of the actual
presence Of the pink bollworm in Tex
rs the state, taking precautions
against its presence not far away i'm
Mexico, had enacted legislation giving
authority to establish zone free from
cotton culture on the border Of Texa
adjacent to Mexico. Since that time
quarantine ana cotton-free zones have
been declared in three areas.
The normal planting Of cotton in the
largest of these areas is about 10000
acres and the inability to plant HAS.
of course, entailed hardship on thS
planters. Ihdividuals-137 to be ex.
act disregarGed the law and planted
some cotton. a total of few hundred
acres. Legal acton was taken against
them ana they have since signed an
agreement TO bear all the cost Of clean
ing up their farms. under the super
vision Of government inspectors. and
10 leave the disposal Of the cotton
grown absolutely In the hands Of the
authorities.
1t is interesting to note that con.
siderable number of these so-called
outlaw cotton fields were discovered
by aerial observation. Much of the
country In the infested areas is heav-
lily timbered. Roads are neither nlen-
tiful nor good in many places. aud it
was possible for an outlaw planter to
tuck away a few acres of cotton In
some nook of the woods beyond prob
ability of discovery by ordinary means.
This gave the inspectors of the fed.
eral horticultural hoard the idea of
using airplane observers TO spy out the
hidden fields. The scheme worked adj.
mirably. the first flight alone reveal
ing no less than seven outlaw cotton
fields which had escaped discovery by
all other means.
While feeling Of reasonable safety
Is justifiable as to the elimination of
the bollworm from Texas the danger
of new infestation remains so long
rs the bollworTn exists in Mexico, and.
therefore, extreme vigilance viii not
be relaxed. All railway cars and 9th
er vehicles coming across the line are
inspected. cleaned, and fumigated.
The disinfeetion of cars and freight
with gas from generators placed with
ia the cars has been discarded as giv.
ing no security against insects that
might he resting on the exterior Of
cars. Dis'nfectIon houses have been
erected Into which cars are run and
disinfected both internally and exter
nally.
The question Is now raised: Has
the recent Gulf Of Mexico hurricane
brought the pest again to the Texas
shore? The storm rayaged the Gulf
shore from Brownsville beyond 10
Key West. If the storm OF 1915
brought the pest TO the American
shore from Mexico why should not the
same conditions now obtain?
