CARPENTERS co
: OUT ON STRIKE
IN TRI-CITIES
Take Unusual Action, Without
Strike Vote; WOu'd Have 10
Cent Raise in Wages.

Carpenters of the tri-cities were
today affected by an ultimatum
they rendered the quad-city mas
ter builders in a conference Sat
urday, in which they demanded an
increase in wages which will event
ually change the present rate of Is
cents per hour to IS cents per
hour. There are also other new
demands Today was set as the
date for the enforcement Of their
decision on the subject. AS an
nounced Saturday the carpenters
who were accorded the increase
by employers when the men re-
ported for work this morning, con-
tinued operations. Where the raise
was refused the work stopped and
the men quit.
There are close to 1900 union
carpenters in Rock Island, Daven-
/port, Moline and East Moline af-
fected by the change. They have
been voicing their demands for
several months, and numerous
meetings of their arbitration
board with that of the builders ex-
change have failed to realize a sat
isfactory settlement
The exact number of carpenters
who quit work today in accordance
with their ultimatum had not been
checked up by the union officials
this afternoon 1t was known that
100 contractors refused the raise
and that the men working on those
jobs accordingly failed to start
work this morning. Some reports
have it that 80 per cent of the car
penters. or around 1000 are job
less today as a result of their own
move, but this figure is believed to
be high and is not official. The
publicity committee of the quad
|. city builders exchange positively
refused to issue any kind of d
statement today, promising a state
ment of their side of the case for
the papers tomorrow.
Two . Cent Boosts Asked.
The plan of increase requested
is a cent raise-to so cents per
hour-starting today. and further
cent increase effective on Oct. l.
From that date their pay will con-
tinue to be IS cents per hour.
That the cessation of work is
AlOl uut " d 5IilhCg " dIhOul- VI
shutout. is one of the striking
features of the case. No strike
order has been issued and no strike
vote taken by the locals. The en-
ployers have not declared the jobs
shut to union men. Therefore,
strictly speaking, there is no strike
in effect. 1t might be termed a
strike of ndiyiduals-who are con-
scious of the force behind their
movements, the union. Their ces-
sation of work policy is effective in
only those cases where the raise is
refused. the strike being thus
broken up into individual dead
locks.
Prior to the ultimatum the build
ers had offered the carpenters
compromise wage of 771h cents per
hour. This was refused.
Demands for an increased wage
scale were presented by the union
men in August following a refer
endum vote. Conferences were held
btyeen the contractors and the
s1hen in an effort to reach a salts
factory agreement. Strike threats
were voiced but were later denied
The men asked that their increased
wage go into effect on Sept 1 with
a second raise effective on Oct l.

Bright, dis trict engineer of the bureau of post roads at Denver, stating that the plans and specifications have been accepted and will be sent to Wash ington.

TAUGHT GERMANS POKER.

TUCSON, July 24.-How poker came to Coblenz and chased fear away was described yesterday by Captain Minge, formerly city electri- elan, lately of the 29th engineers, Go. c, who arrived home few days ago.
 Before we entered the city, he said, 'the Germans had been told the Yankees barbecued the children, abused the women and murdered the men.
 "So when We were billeted in a home, we only saw an old man or old woman; never the family. We didn't understand, of course.
 "After a few days, during which you could see they were waiting for us to break loose, they would send the children out where we could see them. Of course, most of us welcom- ed the children and we used to play with them, bought them candy and things, and trotted them on our knees, making up for youngsters lelt behind When the children reported our treatment, we got a glimpse oi perhaps the mother, in the near dis tance. Then, by and by. the girls Of the families would appear. That was the last chance they took. It wasn [ more than few days after that we were sitting with them teaching them poker"

REPORTS MOHAVE IS BOOMING BUT BOOZE
 BUSINESS ON WAYNE.

PHOENIX, July 24-Sheriff w. P. Mahoney of Mohave county was in the city yesterday, as an escort to a citizen who had been committed to the hospital for the insane. The vic tim was sufferer from the flu. " As in several other cases from that part of the country, insanity was a sequel. of the disease.
 But, said the sheriff, all the peo- pie of Mohave have not gone crazy; they were never better mentally, physically and financially than they are now More work is going on in the mines than ever before-gold, silver, copper and lead. The gold mines of Mohave are the richest on the continent.
 Since Sheriff Mahoney took hold, there has been a lessening of boot logging through that country, which had been previous to that the boot leggers' chief highway, the caminO real. Probably more whiskey crossed Mohave than any other subdivision of dry state in the United States. Bootlegging had been reduced to an established industry. There was seven a boctleggers union.
 But all that has been changed. The stuff the sheriff has captured would equip a distillery. and many man in Phoenix and Prescott has gone dry in consequence Of his activities.
 Four carloads have been intercept ed by the sheriff anu his deputies during the present month, which has a week yet to run.

.JO RAILROAD
 TO GULF SURE,
 TUCSON BELIEF

TUCSON, Ariz., July 25.-That Fl Paso and all Arizona and the south west will soon be connected with the Gulf of California and through it, with the Pacific ocean, is the report here, generally credited.
 James Douglas is reported to have renewed the old plan of Frank Mur- phy to build an American railroad to point on the Gulf of California. to give a terminus for the southwestern country at tide water and remove it from the mercy of the Southern Pa cific at Los Angeles.
 MT. Douglas is reported to have completed arrangements for harbor facilities on the north end of the Gulf of California, and to have all but completed his plans for financing the road. It is the plan to build, it is said, from Ajo. He has arranged, it is said, to get his harbor facilities on the Lower California side of the Gulf rather than on the Sonora side, by reason of the fact that Lower Calif- ornia has very little to do with the mother country of Mexico and Gov. Cantu is able to maintain peace and control his state fairly well.
 As the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad has already built a branch to Ajo from the Southern Pacific, it is only necessary to connect up Ajo with the Gulf of California to give new outlet for Fl Paso, Douglas and all of Arizona and New Mexico to the Pacific ocean. It is reported that the Fl Paso & Southwestern, even though it has an agreement with the Southern Pacific for the use of it's tracks west of Tucson, would build from Tucson to Ajo in event that Mir. Douglas builds to the Gulf of Calif- oriia. This would give a through short route from Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis, through Fl Paso for the Rock Island and Southwest ern to the Pacific ocean.
 It was though at one time that the Southwestern would build from Tue son to Yuma to connection with the Spreckel road from San Diego, but the Southern Pacific long ago gained control of the Spreckel road and when that is completed to Yuma, it merely means another s. P. con nection with the Pacific.
 The building of 8 line to the Gulf of California from Ajo and the build ing of the Southwestern branch from Tucson to a point where it's present Ajo branch connects with the S. P. would give new through line to tidewater and competition for the s. P. of a real character.
 On the face of it, the whole plan sounds feasible, people say who should know ....--

 Mayors Salary $3,6oo.
 The charter fixes the mayors sal ary at S3,600 year and makes his tenure of office four years. A lively discussion was provoked by this clause, opinions of the commissioners differing as to the length of term, amount of pay and amount of time the chief magistrate should devote to the office to earn said pay A pro posed amendment cutting down the term to two years was lost. MT. Gold stein thought six hours day was the least possible time the mayor should spend in his office. Mir. Fishburn argued that service could not be measured by the clock and that there would be many times when the mayor in the proper discharge of his duties would put in double working day of eight hours. The opinion was voiced that S3.60O a year would scarcely pay for the exclusive time of valuable man, but a motion mak- ing the yearly stipend S4000 was lost. The article was finally carried as written with the amendment that the mayor devote all of his time to the office.

 FUR U,S. MATCH

DOUGLAS, July 25.-J. P. Sexton of this city, captain of the team that will represent the state of Arizona at the national rifle matches to be held at Caldwell, N. J., near New York City, beginning August 4 and ending August 30, will leave here next Thursday night for El Paso. Mem bers of the team from various parts of. the state, will meet in Fl Paso Friday and go to Caldwell in body.

Sexton and Harry Reynolds are the Douglas representatives on the Arizona team, though it is still hoped to make arrangements for Charles Riggs to go as a member of the team, as he is one of the best shots in the state. He is now at NacoZari and it is feared will not be able to make the trip.
 EX-Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler and H. c. Aimy will go as members of the state team from Tombstone, and Col. George J. Roskruge, of Tucson, dean of rifle shots in Arizona, will go as quartermaster.
 He was designated by Governor Campbell to choose and take charge of the team, and in turn he appointed MT. Sexton as captain.
 The shooting competition is nation wide in scope and will be conducted by the United States government. The men representing the various states will get transportation, equip ment, meals and lodging from the government while away Civilian and military marksmen will not only compete among themselves, but with one another, and the competition will bring out the hest marksmen in the entire country There will be new matches, in various kinds ot shooting and at various distances. ev- cry other day, with from LOGO to 2.000 marksmen participating. Those who make the best scores will there fore achieve real honor.
 The Arizona team which went to Camp Perry, Ohio, last year, made a good record, though it is hoped to surpass that record this year Last year, Riggs, of Douglas, made the highest score in slow fire pistol shooting at the meet

 Officers of the Miami Miners union and the GIobe-Miami Labor union are indignant over the attempt of this savory bunch who represent nothing and live nowhere to kick up a rumpus here and disorganiZe industrial con- ditions as well as the labor unions themselves.
 Officers of the Miami Miners union say that the demands formulated by Micky Scanlon and his I. w. w. fol. lowers who came into the district with him recently have not been pre- sented to the Miners union and the union was not consulted in the mat ter, in fact was kept ignorant of the matter until the wobbly meeting was pulled off in Bloody Tanks wash. It is also stated by the officers of the Globe-Miami Central Labor union that they were not taken into the con fidence of the would-be strike leaders and had no intimation that a strike was to be attempted.

VITAL SERVICE Boston Transcript:

All the packers also emphasize the importance of the service they render to the community. The importance of the service is of course conceded. That is what makes the whole subject so vital. The butcher and the gro cer perform a highly important ser. vice to the citizens, but that is no reason why they should overcharge him, and he cannot be accused of in gratitude if he protests when they do overcharge him. Nor can he be blamed for desiring that the butcher and the grocer shall have competi' tors on the next corner.
