PIONEER CELEBRATES
83RD BIRTHDAY IN
MIDST Of FRIENDS

With turkey dinner truly fit for
a king" and a social gathering that
in true friendly spirit and fellowship
surpassed any royal levee, DR.. George
II. Adams, pioneer church worker of
the state, passed one of the happiest
evenings of his life last night at his
home. 915 East Van Buren, street, on
the occasion of his eighty-third birth
day.
The Rev. T. J. Hamilton of Denver,
DR.. s.. J. Rogers, Deaconess hospital
secretary, the Rev. William Norcross
of Phoenix and the Rev. E. S. Gaddis
of Phoenix made up the quartette of
guests who attended the sumptuous
turkey dinner served by Mrs. G. w.
Meness.
Following the dinner a social eve
ming was spent, with Mrs. ]. 8. Elerick
and two daughters, J. Tom Hurst and
family, Allen Park and daughter and
Frank Wiley among the guests who
made the octogenar1an feel young
again. A company of young people
from the Creighton district rendered
a number of vocal selections, while
many other friends not present wished
the pioneer worker many happy re-
turns of the day.
A pleasing feature Of the evening
was a song by DR.. Adams himself, in
which he also acted as his own ac-
companist.
Yesterday was by no means the only
birthday that DR.. Adams has spent in
Arizona, as he is among the states
pioneers. From 1880 to 1890. he
travelled over the state on the old
stage lines. as founder of the Metho-
dist missions of Arizona, and since
that time he has been active in various
periods of Arizona's progress and
growth.

Coast Teams Show Yellow
When Manager Wilson arrived on the
scene and attempted to make final ar
rangements for the game, however, he
got the same elusive replies that have
been Phoenix lot for the past four
weeks. No team seemed the least bit
anxious to play the eastern eleven.
He finally made inquiries at Pasa-
dena, where he was informed that
Phoenix has good team that will
play anybody almost anywhere"
Theerupon, Manager Wilson communi-
Gated with the local athletic authori-
ties and arrangements for the game
were completed.
Several details are yet to be worked
out but the game is assured, Coach
Geary stated last evening.

GARY FOR STRIKE
Says Strike is to Secure
Voice in Determining
Laboring Conditions.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. = The is
sue in the nationwide steel strike
was defined by Samuel Gompers, pres
ident Of the American Federation Of
Labor, as recognition Of the right Of
employees ITO be heard, to organize and
to have some voice in determining con-
ditions under which they labor"
Appearing as labors' second witness
in the senate labor committees inves-
tigation of the steel strike, President
Gompers Dire wfrom his experiences as
chairman of the first committee to or
ganfze the steel industry and traced
the history of organized labors' eff
forts to unionize the steel workers,
The committee adjourned until next
Wednesday at which time Judge Gary,
chairman of tho u. S. Steel Corpora
ton, has promised to appear.
President Gompers in the course Of
his remarks condemned unsparingly
civic authorities in the western Penn
sylvania steel centers and repeated
many Of the charges made before tina
committee yesterday by John Fits
patrick, chairman Of the strikers COM
mittee.
what ever helps the corporation
against the workers, that the authori-.
ties of Pennsylvania will be found
doing" Gompers said at one point.
Full responsibility for the strike he
laid at the door Of Judge Gary, who
could haxe stopped it, he said, by
granting a conference to the strike
committee.
Counter charges against the steel
workers involving the revolutionary
radicalism of William q. Foster, strike
committee secretary, in particular, was
met by Gompers with the assertion
that Foster no longer was syndica-
tism or a believer in violence.
Senator Sterling, Republican, South
Dakota, read some steel company sta
tistics in reference to greatly increased
Fay of workers during recent years
and efforts made by the company to
place its stock among employees. In
reply the labor chief said that the
company had increased its earnings
400 per cent. while increasing work.
mems pay 100 per cent. and that its
stock selling enterprises were at
tempts to tie the men to the jobs"
What we want is the right to have
workers represented before their en-
ployers," he went on. "The day is past
when an employer, no matter how
great, can declare himself master of
all he surveys"
Chairman Kenyon, adiourning the
session, left the future course OF the
investigation to be settled at another
meeting and the only certain date for
its converting fixed the Wednesday
appointment with Judge Gary. The
intention to call William q. Foster to-
morrow was abandoned although mem
bers of the committee intend to call
him later,
