SLIDING SCALE |S INCREASED BY
 75CENTSPER DAY, THOUGH PRICE
 AVERAGE IF COPPER UNDER 18C.
Notices to Be Posted Today Advising Workmen of Warren District and at Douglas Shelters of Increase; Step is Taken By Copper Companies On Account of High Cost Of Living; Raise In GobeMiam Mine District Also

Notices will be posted today advis- ing workmen at the mines in the War ren District and at the smelters at Douglas of an increase in wages, ef- fective July 18th, Grant H. Dowell, general manager of the Copper Queen branch of the Phelps-Dodge corpora tion, announced here last evening. The former sliding scale based on the price of copper is maintained in prin- ciple, but on account of the continued high cost of living, the companies have decided to pay wages for the latter half of July, based on quota tion of "A cents per pound for copper.
 The wage scale is based on the price of copper for the previous month. While the average for the past three or four months has been we'll under 1Sc per pound, the con- panies have been paying on the 1S- cent basis. The quotation for June was under 1Sc, and a strict obser- vance of the scale would have given no increase in July. The companies appreciate living costs have not de clined as expected, and feel that it is no more than right to raise wages now, which has been done by announce ing the adoption of a higher quota tion than the actual, and the quota ,tion of A cents, announced by the companies as the basis for wages dur ing the latter half of the month ap- pears eminently fair.
 This will mean an increase under the sliding scale of 75 cents per day in most cases and 60 cents per day in case of Mexican employees.
 In addition to the increase, if the quotation for copper goes above 25 cents, wages will be further increased in accordance with the sliding scale.

NJ SINGLE FACTION IN MEXICO
 JAN OVERTHROW CARRANZARULE.
 CONGRESS |S TOLD BY FLETCHER

250 attacks of a serious nature have been made on American citizens in Mexico
 Relations between the two coun- tries have, however, MT. Fletcher said, improved during the last three years. He added that there was a wonderful submission" to Carranza rule in all the sections which the government controls. Although de clining to express an opinion as to the policy either past or future of this country towards Mexico, the ambassador in effect opposed sug- gestions advanced by members of the committee looking to withdrawal by the U S. of recognition of the Car ranza government.
 At present, MT. Fletcher said, there was no revolutionary leaders in Mexico with sufficient following to overthrow the existing government and set up a stable one.
 Would the permission of this gov ernment to all Mexicans to secure arms and ammunition furnish these anti-CarranZa leaders aid"" asked Chairman Campbell.
 That would have the effect of in creasing the turmoil in Mexico" re piled the ambassador, whether iit would ultimately result in a govern ment more stable than this one more able to discharge it's interna tional obligations or not, am no prepared to say"
 Ambassador Fletcher said he hat noticed no special anti.Ameriean sen timent or discrimination against ma tionals of this country in favor O those of other nations. Mexican newspapers. however. during thu war, he said. were very hostile to wards the United States.

KILL TWO MORE AS RACE RIOTS
 ARE CONTINUED
Two White Home Guards Are Shot to Death By Negroes
 In Washington, Making Total
 Deaths '; II Others Dying

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Race ha- tired in the national capital engen- dered by attacks on white women by negroes and famed by three success i've nights of rioting, found expres- sion again tonight in clashes be- tween whites and blacks. A home defense guard was shot and killed, a second guard was fatally wounded, and another white man slashed se- verely by a razor, wielded by a ne- gro. All of the negro assailants es- caped.
 The outbreaks were sporadic ana confined to a single vicinity in the black district of the northwest sec tion. This was due in the opinion of authorities to the extraordinary precautions taken to prevent forma. tions of mobs.
 Approximately 1900 troops. cavalry infantry, marines and sailors, pa- trolled the streets and awaited in re- serve for possible outbreaks, supple menting regular and volunteer pu- lice. Detachments of marines from Quantico, Va, and regulars from Camp Meade, arrived early tonight and took up station in various parts of the city.
 Tonight's casualties brought the number resulting from the rioting to seven persons dead, II believed to be fatally wounded, and scores injured.
 The only fatal outbreaks occurring tonight up to midnight resulted from the stopping of a negro by Isaac Halbfinger a defense guard. Halb- finger attempted to search the black, who drew gun from pocket and shot the guard through the heart. Anoth- CT guard also armed only with a riot stick, ran to his companions assist ance and also was shot. He died lat CT. The negro escaped.

The alleged "kidnapers" proved accommodating, but it was all done without a make up and both Wallen and Aultman de- clared the chief value of the pictures will be the portrayal throughout the United States of what the hardened Bisbee "criminals'' look and act like without their eyebrows blacked ana minus their false mustaches.

PASS DRASTIC
 BILL FUR DRY
 ENFORCEMENT I
House Vote Nearly 3 to 1 In Favor of Stringent Measure;
 Vets Are Forlornly Hoping For Veto By the President

WASHINGTON. July 22.-By a vote of nearly three to one, the house, weary of talk on prohibition, today passed a bill for its enforce ment, with provisions and penalties so drastic as to bring from the men who framed it the prediction that it would forever suppress the liquor traffic on American soil.
 One hundred members, 52 Demo. crats and AS Republicans, refused to support it. Against the even hun dred, the prohibitionists. putting up solid front to the very last. polled 2S7 votes. and just as the result was announced a little girl in the gallery, too young to know what it1was all about. leaned over the railing and waved tiny American flag. It was not signal for that, but the house broke into applause, the galleries, only half filled, meanwhile looking on in silence
 The cloak rumor persisted that all of this legislation might end on the shoal of a presidential veto. al though the general view was that it would be signed as passed
 Before the house put the bill on it's final passage one final but feeble hand was reached forth to strike it down and put in its place a briefer and more liberal measure.
 This took the form of a three-par. agraph bill by Representative Igoe Democrat, Missouri, introduced some days ago, and offered in a former mo tion to re-commit, which meant It's substitution for the general enforce ment measure. if the house saw fit But the house did not. MT. Igoes motion was defeated 255 to 136. and this vote analysed meant that al least 36 members who favored a more liberal bill took the more dras tic one later when there was no oth CT choice.
 There were no unexpected revers als in the individual vote. Represen tative Husted.

HARD BOILED"
 SINH I H'S WIFE
 ASKS DIVORCE
Charges Cruel Treatment By Former Arizona Lieutenant;
 Says That Smith Gloried In His Reputation for Brutality

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 22.-Mrs. Marguerite Michel Smith filed in the superior court today petition asking for a divorce from Lieutenant F. H. Smith, who was given the sobriquet of hard boiled" by the men of the American army. She alleged cruel treatment. Smiths career as comman- der of prison camp No. in France recently came in for congressional in Vestigation.
 Mrs. Smith said Smith was first called THard Boiled" Smith by his men while he was stationed at Camp Kearny. She added he seemingly took pride in the sobriQuet.
 Mrs. Smith, coincident with the fil- ing of her suit, received a message from the Salvation army. It said:
 Frank Smith is temporarily i'm prisoned at Fort Jay. He is well and will write to his wife"
 Mrs. Smith was San Diego girl at the time of her marriage to Lieuten- ant Smith on March 16. 1918.
 At that time Smith was lieutenant in the 18th infantry, an Arizona Ma tional Guard organization, which was part of the 10th division. He had done recruiting duty for the regiment before 1t was sent to Camp Kearny. Mrs. Smith said soon after her mar riage she heard Smith was harsh with his men and that some of them sent her word of their troubles with him. She said she pleaded with Smith to be less severe, but "he seemed to de light in his attitude"
 Soon after the regiment went to | France, Smith obtained charge of the prison farm near Chelles-Sur-Marne according to his wife.
 1 This farm became known among sol diers as the Hell Hole of France, according to reports.
 l Representative Ballinger, who be gan the congressional inquiry into the prison camp, according to dispatches received here, said he had been in formed the only punishment Smith had received for harshly. treating sol diers was dishonorable discharge from the servce. Mrs. Smith today saiC Smith wrote her not long ago he haC been sentenced to IS months impris onment in addition to losing his com mission
 Threats against Smith by returned soldiers had been made to her, Mrs Smith said.

Butte miners last week received an increase of wages, and agreed to a wage for the coming year of $5.75 per day, regardless of the price of copper. But the companies here and at Jerome and Globe Miami have con- cluded to establish a differential of 50 cents per day between the miner and the mucker, not by paying the mucker less, but the miner more. Un- der this arrangement the mucker will receive the 75 cent raise, making his daily wage $5.60 for the last half of July, and the miner will receive $1 raise, making his wage 50 cents higher than the mucker, or $6.10 per day. Other underground men and mechan- ics will alos receive an increase of $1 per day.
 All employees paid a monthly salary will be given an increase of 15 per cent of their base rate.
 The recent strength shown in the copper market indicates liberal buy ing and much more rapid liquida- tion of existing stocks than was thought possible a few months ago. No doubt this will stimulate produc- tion again and more men will be needed in this camp. This new wage is by far tn highest ever paid miners in Arizona, or any other cop per camp. when copper was not selling well above 25 cents per pound, and with living conditions here the best in the west, it should not be difficult for the companies to secure the com petent miners needed.
