words open shop means the working jointly on a job of both union and non union men, while the closed shop ex- cludes all non union men).
 Fifth. That the officers and mem .bers of the Building Trades Council have repeatedly asked the contractors and all questions which we have in common, but they have never availed themselves of the opportunity.
 Now, this is absolutely the crux of the situation: The Phoenix Contractors association, a union, makes demand upon the members of the Building Trades Council. also a union, that the latter work jointly on the job with non- union men, an utter impossibility in face of the fact that such is ex- pressly prohibited by the bylaws of the Building Trades Council.
 If the Phoenix Contractors associa- ton desires to employ non-union men, and it claims that 80 per cent of the building now going on in Phoenix is under the open shop rule (which, how : ever, is not a fact), why, let them pro- ceed with all diligence and a clean conscience, if they can. But that the public may know the truth, the mem bers of the Building Trades Council of Phoenix are 100 per cent union; they have plenty of work. Many of them are old and respected citizens of this city, and all of them are 100 per cent efficient; are all human. all real men, and all have taken oath that they will stand together, thereby actually per sonifying that great democratic prin- ' 7fF -s<-I-& kA -.--T privilege to none
 The foregoing quotation is null and void, both in usage and practice, SC far as the Phoenix Contractors associ- ation and it's non-union employees are concerned. Equal rights to all, special privileges to none,' must have ema- mated from the mind of it's author after having read another great truth, the words of the Master, wherein He said The laborer is worthy of his hire
 Tn conclusion, allow us to correct { statement in an editorial of the samt issue of The Republican. which read. as follows: We are threatened, it i. stated, with a tie-up of the building in. dustry in Phoenix for time Another demand is being made for an increas, of wages of various crafts, carpenter: to 60 a udy ana general uuSklifed help CTS about buildings to $ day" W. do not know who it is that is makins the demand as above stated, but we dt know that it has not been made eithel by the Carpenters Union or the Build ing Trades Council.
 However, if we should ever nak. any demand for increase in wages l that great and much abused union, tn. Phoenix Contractors association, vii receive 90 days notice in advance o such raise going into effect Also an, and all work figured under the ol, scale will be completed at the oil scale.

The misleading statements have been made regarding the activities of the Building Trades Council of Phoenix by the Phoenix Contractors association is the contention of Seth Hudgins, business agent of the Trades Council, in a statement issued last night.

Constance Talmadge is making a wonderful hit at the Strand as dramatic actress in her latest picture Who Cares?" which is up for final showing at the handsome playhouse today.
 This is the story of a girl whose frivolous mind was incapable of accept ing the seriousness of life. One of the things she treated most lightly was matrimony, and when the man who loved her made her his wife, she figur- ed that she had performed her every duty to society, and that she was then free to do as she pleased, to go with whom she pleased, and where she pleased. But when the husband started the same sort of thing, that didn't set well at all, and the girl realized that she really loved her husband, and it
