COURT ATTENDED n
 \ MISSING DETAIL

Dolores Valenzuela and Juan Diaz knew the happiness of complete sun- derstanding. They had worked and planned together for five years in building for themselves a home. Through many hardships they had forged their way until they finally fitted up a neat comfortable place for themselves at 232 South Second street. But in planning for the future to- gether they had overlooked one phase of domesticity which remained for Po- lieeman Williams to call to their at tention. He arrested them for violat- ing ordinance 160.
 Do you want to get married?" asked Judge Thomas of each of the defend ants when they were brought before him in police court yesterday. The question brought forth two affirma- tive answers.
 'sWhen?"
 Policeman Blea acted as interpreter and declared the couple was ready to go through the ceremony at any time. It was then 4 30 o'clock D. m.
 s'Send a man to the court house with this couple to assist them in get ting a marriage license and let him act as witness to the ceremony" in structed the judge.
 Ten minutes later Juan Diaz ob- tained a license and was standing with Dolores Valenzuela before Judge R. C. Stanford, who pronounced them man and wife.
 As they left the court house. arm in arm, they were greeted with a chorus of birds. Mendelssohn does not have the exclusive on wedding marches.

FREIGHT RATE
 PROTEST ID BE
 HEARD MONDAY
Arizona Protests Against Alleged Excessive Tariffs To Come Up Before I. c. c. Representative

Arszona's fight for more equitable freight rates on cement shipments from California and Fl Paso will be taken before an examiner of the interstate commerce commission at a hearing to be held in the rooms of the Arizona corporation commission Mon day morning. starting at 10 o'clock Other freight rate cases to be heard at the same time include sugar rates from California producing points to Arizona rates on fresh fruits and vegetables from Montana, Idaho, Utah. Washing ton, oregon and California to Arizona and rates on cereals from New Mexico and west Texas to Arizona. Ii. is prob ably the most important hearing of it's kind ever held in Arizona, say members of the corporation commission.
 Interest generally Is centered in the fight being made by the corporation commission against existing freight rates, which are held to be unjust and excessive. The petition for lower rates was filed under the old rate of 32 cents per hundred pounds and be- fore the 20 per cent increase became effective August 26. The existing rate is 40 cents hundred.
 H. c. Keene, examiner for the inter state commerce commission. will con- duct the hearing in this city. Promi- nent railroad officials representing lines involved in the controversy are already beginning to arrive. Carrier representatives here include C.. H. Becker of San Francisco general freight and passenger agent of the Santa Fe; Elmer Westlake, San Fran cisco, attorney for the Southern Pa cific, and M. W. Cummings of the Southern Pacific traffic department.
 Many Tariff Questions
 Numerous questions involving tar ifs will be fought out at the local hearing, it is expected. The Arizona corporation commission has prepared mass of figures to support their con- tention that a lower rate is just and equitable.
 No particular rate is being asked by the corporation commission. It is the contention of the Arizona commission CTS that the existing rate is excessive. but they leave the matter of fixing an equitable rate with the Interstate com merce commission, which will u1ti- mately review the proceedings and claims.
 Other freight rate matters to be taken before the I. C.. c. representa- tive Monday directly affect living costs and for this reason wide inter est is centered in the ultimate out come. A savings of several hundreds of dollars each year will result to resi- dents of the state if the commission is successful in obtaining lower freight rates on sugar, fresh fruits and vege- tables and cereals, 1t is claimed
 September 22 members of the cor poration commission will go to Los An geleS to present their claims for more just passenger rates from Missouri river gateway points to Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada. It is the conten- ton of the commission that Arizona points are entitled to a lower passen- ger rate than now exists and it points out in this connection that the fare from Kansas City to Yuma is the same as the fare from Kansas City to Los Angeles and even 300 miles north of that city

Question V.
lion five IS as follows:

Question five is as follows:
What measures should be
adopted in the interest of women
and children in industry? Should
minimum wage commissions be Gre
ated?"
OF course. whatever applies to the
employment of the male wage
earners applies to an equal degree
to the women workers. Justice de-
mands that women workers should
receive the same pay as men for
equal work performed and en-
plovers should not be permitted TO
require them to perform tasks dis
proportionate to their physlcal
strength or which tend to impair
their potential motherhood ana
thus prevent the continuation or a
nation of strong healthy, sturdy ana
intelligent men and women.

Question VI.

Your sixth question reads as fol-
lows:
should health standards pc es-
tablished for industries?'
| am not clear as to the purport
of this question. If it is intended
that only the physically strong
shall be employed and those less
favorably endowed by nature be re-
ouired to starve, then of course
there can be only one answer IL
IT is intended that industries should
not be permitted to operate except
ing under conditions which will en-
able the less fortunate and less
strong to give profitable service in
industry under equally favorable
conditions with those more for
tunately endowed, then my answer
is Yes" Industry should only be
permitted to operate under condi-
tions which will give employment
to all our people without arbitrary
discrimination and which shall
safeguard and promote the health OF
the workers rather than force them
into a life of misery and rob them
of their full, normal and natural
period of life.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1920-01-02
Question VII.

Your seventh question is as fol-
lows;
should there be federal insur-
ance against old age, sickness, ac-
cidents and unemployment in in
dustry?'
There is contemplated in this
question merely the subject of deal
ing with effects rather than with
the causes of unemployment. 1t
seeks to ascertain palliative meas
ures rather than cause an inquiry
into the cause of unemployment.
Efforts should be made to lessen
unemployment. This may be ac-
complished by making first a study
of seasonable employments and
thereafter by a systematic elimina-
ton of many of the seasonable in
dustrial undertakings. Regardless
of the erroneous impression that has
been created, that the United Mine
Workers in asking for a working
week of five days, are in reality
asking for a greater period of work
rather than a greater period Ga
idleness. Indeed, they are asking
that an end be put to the manipu-
lation of the laws of demand and
supply and that they be afforded
an opportunity to work throughout
the year instead of being over
worked a few months during the
wear and kept in idleness the bal
ance of the time. This holds true
J in other lines of industrial endea-
vor.
The universal observance of the
eight hours day will tend also TO
stabilize employment and lessen I'M
employment TO a large degree. In
addition, adequate wages should be
paid the wage Garner. BY so doing,
his consuming power is correspond
ingly increased which Of necessity
will create thereafter greater
market and lessen the causes for
unemployment.
II these measures are effectual-
lily applied, there will be no undue
unemployment and such unemploy'
ment as may occur under these con
ditions can be well cared for by en-
abling workers to lay aside from

that laws granting men the eight
hour day were never observed eX-
cept when their enforcement was
obtained through the economic pow
err of the trades unions. In Colo
RADIO, the constitution provided for
an eight hour day, but the miners
were forced to strike TO enforce
that law. This is true in all other
parts of the country where laws
have been enacted for the eight
hour day. In all these instances
the enforcement of laws came about
not through activities of the state
or municipal government, put
through the economic power Of the
trades unions.

COMMERCIAL APPLE
REPORT FOR THE U.s.

The commercial apple crop for
the United States, now estimated |
at 26,174,0O0 barrels, by the Fruit |
Crop Specialists of the Fedora !
Bureau of Crop Estimates, has over
run even the most liberal estimates, |
particularly in the far West. There
has been an increase of 1,75S,0OO
barrels over the November l esti-
mate and this increase has occur
red principally in the box apple dis
trict.
1t is now estimated that the far
western apple states will produce
1 35, 100000 boxes, or an increase of
| 2,9S5,000 boxes over the November
estimate. and 14,154,OOO boxes over
the crop of 1918.
Washington 1.-THE commercial
apple crop in the State of Washing
ton is now estimated at 1890, 900
boxes or ,556 cars. This is an in
crease of 2,2S2 cars over the No
vember 1 estimate and S,50S cars
more than last year. The We
natchee North Central Washington
district, which is the leading center
of production, is now estimated at
1 500 cars. On December 6 about
about $500 cars were still left in
this district to be moved Yakima
Valley, including Yakima and Ben
ton Counties, is estimated at about
10, 500 cars, with $500 cars of this
Iyet to move; Spokane District is
estimated at / 500 cars, 100 cars
yet to move; Walla District LOO
cars, fifty yet to move. The White
Salmon District had over 400 cars,
while Western Washington or the
; coast district produced about 500
cars in scattered localities. The
crop in the State generally was of
the highest quality, particularly in
the Wcnatchee Valley, where Wine
! saps ran nearly 90 per cent extra
fancy. 1t was necessary to load
considerable of the fruit in box cars
in some sections, in which case the
load often exceeded 756 boxes. AT
the present time, however. all fruit
not moved is safely in storage OF
protected. In addition to the fresh
fruit movement from Washington
\ it is estimated that about 10000
tons of fresh apples went to the by
products plants within the State
1 About 5000 tons of this by-pro
4 duct fruit originated in the Yakim;
4 Valley"
4 Oregon: lis now estimated a
4 1886 cars. AS in Washington, tn
fruit was of the highest quality
particularly in the Hood River Val
ley. The Hood River crop it is es
4 timated will exceed 100000 boxe
y as compared with 1850, 900" boxe
last year.
h The Idaho crop is now estimate,
( at about 4,762 cars, or an .increas
of 1928 cars over the bumper Gro
of 1917.

approved by the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention, held in
June of this year, at Atlantic City

Question VIII.

Your eighth and last specific
question reads as follows;
Does Labor desire to participate
in the control and management Of
industry. and share in the profits
and losses? If so, how?'
Profit sharing as thus far pro
posed and practiced is nothing more
or less than a sham and a fraud. In
a competitive field of industry this
method of compensation is not only
impracticable but will ultimately
cause more friction and turmoil
than any other method of compen-
sation I know Of. This method OF
rewarding labor for services given
will not tend to equalize compen-
sation for equal work performed;
rather it will throw the question of
compensation into a greatly con-
| fused state. In monopolistic or
semi-monopolistic enterprise profit
sharing can only serve as a cloak
for excess profits under the guise
of philanthropy. Profit sharing
and like methods of compensation
new urged are designed principal
ly to prevent organization of en-
ployes into trades unions, and to
tie the workers to their job as well
as to compel them to labor under
the most intensive strain Of which
they are capable, by an appeal to
undne selfishncss. Its very con-
ception is an impressive indict-
ment of the present questionable
method of management of indus
try as a whole.
Your suggestion as to the shar-
ing of losses borders on the absurd.
Only those who have and who do
exercise the determining voice and
power should pay for the folly Of
their own shortcomings. If the
workers are to share in the losses,
then let us establish shop soyiets
and let the worker also manage
and operate the entire industries.
But the American workers do not
seek a revolutionary change of this
kind. They demand a voice and
control in such industrial matters
, and management as affect their in
terests as workers and which are
2 determined largely by their con
, tracts of employment. In these
e. matters they demand an equaI
voice with employers. They fur
