Certainly the conference should recon sider this point in order to make pos sible the confidence and cooperation of wage earners. which can be ex- pressed only through organizations of their own making
 Any plan to establish or maintain anything like fair relations between workers and employers must avoid compulsory features. The mass of America's workers are American cit izens and in that sovereign citizenship they are free men. Any proposal for compulsory labor is repugnant to American sovereignty and citizenship.
 In order to promote constructive and permanent changes that will elim- inate causes of much industrial unrest, the conference should consider goy- ernmental agencies to provide the nec- essary information and assistance in securing continuous betterment of working conditions. That problem must ultimately be worked out by en- ployers and employees, but the gov ernment should advise and assist

CRIMSON ID USE NEW w ATTACK IN.
 OREGON BAT TILE.

PASADENA. Dec. 29.-Exceptional- " heavy weather of the last few days nas resulted in a decision to begin the annual New Years day Tournament of Roses football contest-between teams representing Harvard and Oregon uni- Nerslties this year-at 2:30 D. m. in- stead of at D. m-, it was announced today by the football committee.
 This action was taken on the con certed request of Coaches Shy Hunt inston of Oregon. and Bob Fisher of Harvard. who advocated the later, starting hour because of fear that the not weather may continue.
 Harvard players were -lectured this morning by Coach Fisher on what was said to be contemplated changes in the crimson's mode of attack brought about by their view of the practice of Oregon's eleven. This afternoon they held secret practices on several new formations.
 Oregon as usual went through only one practice session. It lasted an hour and a half and embraced both signals and scrirnmages.
 Players of both teams will wear numbers it was decided today, follow ing the custom of practically all west ern football contests

STATE COLLECTING
 AUTO LICENSE DUE

Now is the time for all good men and true to dig up, according to sec- retary of state Mitt Simms. for the secretary is collecting for the 1920 au- tomobiIe licenses and says that $10O.- 900 must roll across his counter dur ing January. A total of about $200.000 is due and collectable from the motor ists.
 The auto stage proprietors have an added duty beyond handing over their money, the secretary says. and they have been notified by mail to that eff feet but many of them persist in ig- noring the requirements only to en- counter annoyance at the finish
 Stage drivers must have afcertificate from their county assessor. furnish ing certain details about the status of their various taxes. and without that certificate the licenses are with held. This provision is more than a convenience to the county assessors. the secretary says, and it complicates the way of the automobile thief. who buys license and hangs it on stolen car.
 Several deputies are busy at the cap- itol, handing out the licenses and keep ing a careful check on the records.

To Dig Out Fire in
 Mine that has Been Burning 20 Years

After tempOrizing for nearly a quarter of a century with fire which has been burning, most of the time sullenly. but as steadily as the fire of the vestal virgins, the United Verde Mining company has decided to put 1t out and be done with it., Just how it was sterted is not known. but it was discovered more than 20 years ago in one of the upper levels of the mine An at tempt to put it out having failed, 1t was bulkheaded in, but it keeps eating its way out
 It is in a part of the mine where the ores are heavily impregnated with sulphur. and it is supposed that these ores were united by fric- tion caused by a slip in the mine The fire has since burned it's way through veins of copper, gold and sulphur.
 It is now proposed to dig the fire out and throw 1t away. The entire surface of the affected property is to be lowered to the 400-foot level and it is estimated that to accomp- fish that will require the removal of 14,OOO,O00 cubic yards of material and will occupy q period of several years. The area to be removed to that great depth is said to be 400 by 800 feet Monster steam shovels arc to bo employed.
 It Is understood that tho work which has long been planned is to De begun at once. E. E. Kunselman, the photographer. yesterday re- ceived a telegram from the Pathe people directing him to go to Je- rome with his moving picture out lit, prepared to record the proceed 1ngs on films for the edification of the people of the whole world. Such a picture will be unlike any other ever shown, for never before in the history of mining has such a thing been undertaken.

LAST WEEK STARTS
 IF BIG REVIVAL AT
 CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Mir. Kellems announced last nsRht that this would be the last week of the revival meetings at the Christian church. The meetings have been won- derfully successful. IA persons hay ing united with the church already in the meeting. Many more are expected these last days of the revival. Dr. Kellems said that he would be glad to stay in Phoenix longer but his work IS so planned that he must go east at once.
 Dr. Kellems preached a wonderfully eloquent sermon on a very interesting subject He defended Judas Iscariot wno IS one of the most despised char acters of history. This is a hard de- fense to make but Mir. Kellems han dled the subject wonderfully we'll and made Judas look winter than one would ever suppose possible to pic ture.
 Mir. Kellems began first by stating that every man has his weakness and is no stronger than that weak point. Judas had his weak points which were selfish ambition and the love of men. Christ did not schoose Judas for the purpose of having a betrayer. No just God would will that a man commit certain crime and afterward condemn
  chose Judas for an apostle because of his good points and not because of his bad traits. Judas was made treas urer of the band of apostles. This was a position where he was constant ly tempted and we read later that he became a thief.
 Judas, as well as all the other Jews, thought that Christ came to set up an earthly kingdom Judas was am- bilious for a place of prominence in that kingdom. Just about the time of the betrayal Jesus is apparently losing his powers. Some of his fol- lowers are turning from him. His popularity is not as great as 1t once was. Judas begins to think that per- haps Christ is an imposter and is not the Messiah. The leaders of the Jew ish religion are all against him. In this state of mind Judas is very sus- ceptible to a bribe from the high priest. Thus the betrayal After this impulsive action he takes the money back and throws it at the feet of the priests and goes out to hang himself. Judas never intended to be mur- derer We must remember that Ju- das did not have the proof of the that we have today. Ju- das did not have the 2000 years of Christian history that we have. It is not strange that he should for mo- ment doubt the Christ. He had been giving himself whole heartedly into the service and he begins to think that he had been made fool of. Judas was not lost because he betrayed Christ The heart of Christ is big enough to forgive even Judas. He was lost because he forsook the cross Tn his trouble and guilt he should have gone to Calvary and he would have been forgiven. There are many to- day who are doing much worse than Judas. With all the proofs that we have today. many are betraying Christ now this day. No sinner is so vile but that Christ can cleanse him if he will turn toward the cross in penitence.
