LABOR DEMANDS THE
REPEAL OF RAILWAY
ESCH-CUMM|NG c A ct

Montreal, June 1.-THE American
federation Of labor in annual conven-
tion here, adopted a resolution de-
manding repeal of the compulsory ar
bitration sections of the Esch-Cum-
minis transportation act of 1920. The
executive council was instructed to
take steps to bring about this action.
Introduction of military training
into schools was condemned by the
convention and the executive commit
tee was directed 10 oppose any at
tempt to escape compulsory military
service as Unnecessary, undesirable,
and un-American-"
The convention in supporting the
strike Of coastwise longshoremen, took
its first step against the open shop"
policy inaugurated by transportation
Galveston and other ports Of the
Gulf and Atlantic coast.
Several other reasons refer particu-
larly TO the action of the Merchants
Association Of New York, in raising
fund OF $5,000,oo for an +open
shop" fight on organized labor. THE
coastwise branch Of the international
branch OF the Longshoremen's Asso-
citation ON the Atlantic and Gulf
coast" read the resolution adopted
today. have been on strike for over
two months, contending for recogni-
ton and adjustment OF demands, filed
by them with the coastwise steamship
ar,ia
ago, for increase in wages and better
ment Of conditions Of employment.
The companies refused their de-
mands, pleading poverty, inability to
grant any increase In wages and re-
fusing to arbitrate and compromise
the issue, on the other hand, employ
ing strike breakers and declaring for
the open shop.
Therefore be Il resolved, that We.
the delegates TO the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor in convention as
sembled and the various crafts di-
rectly affected, pledge our support
to the coastwise longshoremen, in
their fight for recognition and against
the policy Of the open shop IN said
craft"
The convention was thrown into
turmoil when Tholas Sweeney Of
Chicago charged that the committees
had "a motive" in holding back the
business Of the convention failing TO
report and would probably attempt
to ram things down the threats Of
the delegates the last day."
When Samuel Gompers, federation
president, had restored order he re-
piled to the charges by declaring that
the attempt to 'impugn the nteg-
ity,T Of the committee was unfair
as they were faithfully performing
their duties" He assured the conven-
ton there would be mo steam roller
tactics."
The delegates then, BY an over
whelming vote, defeated a molten to
appoint a committee to get report
OF the activities Of the various com
mittees now in charge of the import.

WEEKLY GRAIN
REVIEW

Except for a fair upward reaction
in wheat the markets during the
week have reflected nothing new of
consequence.
Wheat holds the center of the
stage, and its trend should influence
the action Of coarse grains the large
yields Of which are admittedly well
discounted in price Mt least for the
present. It is considered probable
' that coarse grain prices will continue
hcsitant awaiting developments Of
change in attitude of both the coun-
try seller and the Cash buyer who
are now deadlocked in rcfusals of one
to sell and the other to buy.
Broomhall, a recognized worlds
statistical expert, cables that Euro
pean crops Of Wheat and Rye this
year total 1894 100000, showing
decrease Of 30 million bushels from
the previous year which probably 'ac-
counts for our unusually heavy cx~
ports thus far.
Technically Wheat is in a stronger
position than ever. The Governments
report reducing the Spring Wheat
crop from 2G2 million in July to 2IS
million for October was Il tremendous
drop and approaches our prediction
Of August 9th that final returns
should not be over 225 million
J. European wheat requirements are
estimated at $40 lnillion and 1,oa~
European import needs 40 million, a
total of $50 million. About 500
million was exported to Europe last
year but it is stated that POI! stoc'1*
in the United Kingdom are now 20
million, whereas only II million was
accumulated there during the cores
ponding time |: year ago. AGnios.
these rcquiremcnts Of SAC million it
IL estimated that North America. in
can supply about 400 million. The
key to the situation therefore may be
said to be in the condition. Of The
growing crops in Argentine and Aus
tralia. it is the conctnSuS of opinion
that midas c>portu''|o surplus will
be on no material proportions. Fuv-
olah)2 yields in the Southern lemi-
sphere should insure a suficicncy of
worlds needs and bring about 4,
quicker return to lower living costs,
while an unfavorablc turn in the
news may be expected to create high
or levels that can be held down only
, by Europe's inability to pay the price.
y eThe fact, however, that Ill grains
have had long and severe declines
with a large voume of short sales
outstanding that must be met with

 ESTED IN NOTHERN STRIP

from southern points. The last legis- lature started the ball rolling with an appropriation of $50,000 toward a road and an appropriation of $40,000 for bridge across the Colorado at Grand Wash, with the understanding that like appropriation would be forthcom- ing from Mohave county. A portion of this money has been expended in preliminary work and surveys under the direction of T. s. O'Connell, locat- ing engineer with the highway de- partment. An excellent location has been secured and everything is in readiness to go ahead with construc- tion as soon as adequate funds are available A substantial appropria- tion by the state will be required as the preliminary work reveals the fact that, owing to the exceptionally rough character of the country to be trav- ersed, the costs will run much higher than the original estimates.
 On his recent visit Governor Camp bell became especially interested in the possibilities of power development. Every stream running into the Colo rado from the north could. be har- messed for electrical energy, thus de- veloping power to be utilized in pumping or other operations. The possibilities are exemplified in the operation of the Dixie Power Co.,, just north of the line at St. George. The company furnishes free street light ing and a surplus for industries to every hamlet within radius of 75 miles, while the cost of electricity to the householder for lighting, cooking and ironing is ridiculously low. Every farm house has its electric lights and electrically driven churn.
 The reclamation possibilities on tributary streams are unlimited to capital. An enterprise of no small moment is that which is being under taken near Littlefield, Arizona. A to- tai of 40,000 acres of fertile mesa land will be placed under irrigation by the erection on the Virgin river of di- version and impounding dam which will have storage capacity of 10000 acre-feet; a second dam of the system would impound 5O0,000 additional acre5feet.
 At several points touched on the governors tour he found small plots of alfalfa and fruit under irrigation in flourishing condition. At other points dry farming of grains and beans was proving successful. In the opinion of the governor certain mesa lands merit deep well tests by the state to determine their adaptability to pump irrigation.
 Under favorable conditions the gov ernor believes the Arizona strip can be brought under high state of de- >velopment. One of the handicaps at present is bad roads or an absence of any roads at all. Though the chief ex- ecutive used an automobile on his trip, he was forced to make his own road for many miles and on more than one occasion his machine was stalled.

ACCOMMODATIONS LACKING

One day recently a householder made arrangements with a plumbing con- cern to have certain repairs made in his home. A "boss" plumber and one helper arrived in the middle of the morning. The gentleman of the house happened to telephone his wife while the plumbers were there, and in the course of conversation mentioned that he would like them to come down and repair some leaky faucets in his store. "Just a minute" said the lady; "Ill tell them and see what they say" Soon after she returned to the tele- phone. "They can't come," she re- ported. "Why not? the husband wanted to know. "Well," said she, "the assistant asked the boss and the boss said that there wasn't any place down town to park his car this time of day"

HARD HEADED BOY
 BULLET CHANGES OFF

O. w. Marty, and family, of Crease wood Springs, Ariz., are in the city to reside, having sold their store at that point to J. H. McAdams. MT. Marty is looking very thin after his exciting experience of being attacked by the Indians on the reservation, where he came within an inch or two of being killed, according to his own measure ments. The person who did the shoot- ing evidently fired with the intention of killing Mir. Marty. At the time the shot was fired through window about five feet from the place, where he was sitting by the supper table, his boy who was sitting beside him moved a little and the bullet struck him on the head and glanced off, making a deep scalp wound in the boys head. The party fired a second shot mo- ment later, this time at the clerk who was sitting on the other side of the table, the bullet passing through his body. The concussion of the shots put out the light which was in the room. The extinguishing of the light is per haps the only thing that saved them all from being murdered. The Marty family was celebrating the birthday of their son, and had about completed their supper and was just going through the ceremony of cutting the birthday cake, for the interest of the youngster, the parents wishing him many happy returns of the day, and immense prosperity, when the shot was fired that all but snuffed out his young life.-Gallup News.
