With the presidential preference

ia voters will next concentrate their
attention on the state primary elec.
ton to be held on June 30, at which
time the major political parties will

APPRENTICES CALL
OFF THANKSGIVING GAME

The Prescott Apprentice Football
team got cold feet when it came to
meeting the boys Thanksgiving in
Winslow.
The game had been all arranged
and advertising cards printed for the
big game on Turkey day when Pres
colt wired Apprentice Instructor Bur-
ney that they could not come, giving
no reason other than that on account
of other arrangements. All of Winslow
was disappointed, because they were
anxious to show Prescott that the
Winslow Apprentices were their mas
ters at football. In the first game
Winslow played this year Prescott
defeated them 13 to IL in a game
where everything went except a
touchdown for Winslow, which was
made two times but the referee could
not see it. The team has been prac-
ticing every night this week for their.
last game of the season to be played
Saturday, 9th, when they meet the
local high school again. There is no
doubt that this will be the best game
played in Winslow this year as the
both teams are about evenly matched
and a keen rivalry exists between
them. Come out and cheer for your
choice.

INDICT UNION GRAFTERS

New York's warfare against the al
legged building trust recently brought
forth three new indictments charging
extortion, as we'll as testimony linz
ing the wrought iron and wrought
steel industries to the long list of
other producers of construction ma
ho'd prices uniform throughout the
country.
While the grand jury and joint le-
gislative committee made progress
egal skirmishes occurred in two
courts and the city's independent in
quiry into municipal contracts was
postponed until Monday.
Decisive defeat marked the efforts OF
the Builders Material Bureau in both
the Supreme and Appellate courts to
restrain the joint Legislative committee
from getting hold of it's books and
rom examining it's stenographer
Elizabeth O'Dea
Robert P. Brindell, president of the
Building Trades Council, was named
IN two of the indictments, both charg
ing extertion. The other indictment.
also charging extortion, was against
Peter Stadtmiller, a member of the
Building Trades Council.
Stadtmiller's bail was fixed at
500 000 Brindell, already under
100000 bail on a previous indict-
nent, was not required to furnish ad-
ditiOnal bail
Charges against Brindell alleged
that he forced Louis j. Cohen a
uilding contractor, to pay him $500
lnder threat of stopping work in a
construction job last July. Stadt-
miller was accused of extorting $1,000
from the Garden City Wrecking Com
pany by threatening to put the firm
out of business in case of refusal
Testimony that three -fourths of the
wrought steel industry is controlled
by three powerful corporations with
prices usually absolutely uniform
was given in the building trust in
quiry by John G. Cornell, Jr., jobber
md exporter.
The wrought iron industry is SINH
iarly controlled. Cornell said, and
this business is practically paralyzed
owing to strike in one of the plants.
The National Tube Company, which
was part of the United States Steel
Corporation, handles nearly half of
the wrought steel production in the
country, and generally sends out
price lists ahead of the other con-
Germs, which follow with similar ones,
}Ir, Cornell testified
The two other companies which
he named as being among the three
manufacturing rs per cent of the
wrought steel are the Youngstown
Sheet and Tube and the Republic Iron
and Steel Company.
There are only nine wrought steel
manufacturers in the country and
but four concerns producing wrought
iron, Mr.. Cornell declared.
