RETURN RAILROADS
TO OWNERS TO SPEED
WORK, SAYS DOUGLAS
Prosperity Will Come Earlier
if Government Relin-
pushes Lines

Return of the railroads by the peo-
pie to their original owners would be
the greatest single factor in speeding
up reconstruction work in the United
States. and would bring a period of
general prosperity much sooner than
under present conditions, was the
statement yesterday of James S. Doug
las OF Jerome, now a visitor in Co
chise county, his former home.
Mr.. Douglas arrived in this part of
the state several days ago from New
York. Recently he has left a post as
major in the American Red Cross, in
France, where he carried on an active
and productive work during the war.
He VIII rest at Douglas several days,
going later to his home ut Jerome,
where he will spend the summer
months, looking after the interests os
United Verde Extension. a copper COM
pany which, through his faith and en-
ergy, has made phenomenal record
in Arizona mining history.
Copper viii remain at low price
for an indefinite period OF at least
year, in my opinion" declared Mr..
Douglas. Meantime conditions in all
parts of the country and in nearly ev-
cry business will begin to improve.
AS they begin getting their stride the
copper industry may look to reflect
part of their prosperity, and when
they have regained their places in the
nations activities and productivity,
copper again will come into its right
full place, the mines will be able TO
produce again at full or nearly full ca
pacity, and the camps of our big state
will again become the most active in
the country.
"One of the greatest factors IN
bringing about this prosperity III the
shortest time possible" continued Mr..
Douglas, would be the return or the
railroads to their rightful owners by
the people of the United States. This
action would have great influence Ill
the righting of business and in placing
confidence in reconstruction activi-
ties
The laboring man of England, espe-
cially the coal miner, declares Mr..
Douglas, has won a great victory in
the recent agreements and settlements
with the government. Conditions, he
declares, in the colleries of some parts
of England were understandable.
Il know one coal mine" he said,
where several thousand miners were
given a single room for themselves
and family They worker without
change rooms OF sanitary conditions,
and came from their work. wet and
dirty in their diggin' clothes to their
little one-rOom homes, where they
changed their clothes in the room in
which the entire family lived. This
condition was dep1orable, and through
the agreement with the government
will be alleviated. 1t is a great step
ahead for the working man of Great
Britain" e. =

The next day Clay telephOncd to her
his firm had just offered him the
choice of accepting half his salary or
turning in his resignation. 1t was
really impossible for two to live on
half of what was hardly enough for
one.
Daphne cried long while in her
room. She got out her list of ways to
earn fifty thousand dollars again and
cried over that.
There is much foolish and futile pro-
test against the nowadays woman who
goes into business outside her home.
But the fact Is that 1t is her business
that began 1t. Her business left the

she was not suited TO the theater, and
