Commendation of the police de. partment. particularly of Tex Bar ton, jailer. for every action taken and for all work done in connection with the murder of A F.. Sheppard constable, on the night of February l6, resulted from the hearing of a police report on the murder last night at the meeting of the city council.
 Al the previous meeting of the council resolution was adopted calling for full report on the shoot Ing of Sheppard. including the ac- tion of any police officers involved. As a result a report was compiled including written statements from everybody who had anything to do with the case. Hal Smith. deputy sheriff at Lowell, stated in a report that he was at fhe scene of the shooting shortly after it occurred. that he met Tex Barton there and advised him to return to Pisbee at once and get all the peace officers he could find. while he (Smith) has VI SNNHaN~u h pOSSt III ILONell.

NON PARTY Plan
: :. OF union LABOR
WORRIES BOSSES
Solidarity Of Labor in Politics
Makes Wise Acres Sit Up
and Take Notice,

WASHINGTON, May 20. 49, The
trade union movement, with it's 40
ycar-old demand Tor political non-
partisanship, has dealt partyism hard
blows.
The A. F. of L. advocated nom
partisanship when this theory was
source Of endless amusement to So
called practical" men, but today
every group of citizens apply this
method. AS a consequence, party
bolts and divisions are the nightmare
Of politicians, whose stock in trade
is party obedience. The American
political party system. with it's rigid
discipline and party appeal, no longer
exists. The difficulty in maintaining
party regularity is constantly increas-
ing as citizens insist on Independent
voting.
This independence is indicated by
trade union responses to the A. r.
Of L. program of -partisanship.
Nearly 5000 locals are already rep
resented by committees elected by
central bodies and local unions
These committees receive the records
Of senators and congressman from the
A. F. Of L. national committee, dis
tribute literature, urge unionists to
qualify for voting by. registering, and
to take part in primaries and nomi-
mating conventions. All these are
necessary preliminaries to casting an
intelligent ballot. State declarations
Of labor are doing a. similar service
within their jurisdictions, and off,
cials of national and International
unions are urging members to work
and vote for tried trade unionists or
known defenders of the cause of
labor.
The trend Of the times is distinc-
lively non-partisan. The, trade union
movement has established this prin-
eipfe after 40 years. agitation. The
A. F.. of, l.: fought for this principle
for two reasons-frst, because 1t
guarantees political freedom to every
member, and second, because non
partisanship is the most effective
policy.

DAY
MORE Efficient
Than 10 HOURS
United States Public Health
Service Report Confirms
Union LabOr'S Claim.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The g.
hour day is not only more efficient
than the 10-hour day in industrial
plants, but it is more economical, is
the verdict Of the United States pub
lie health service, whose experts have
made three years. study Of condi-
tions and production in standard fac
tories Of both classes.
The report is complete vindi-
on: this question.
The plants surveyed were selected
after a great deal of care. Each is
a., modern factory, employing such a.
large number Of workers as to make
any conclusions reached apply to in
dustry in general. The other consid-
eFation. was that the machinery,
manufactured. product and processes
in the 10-hour. plant should be suf-
ficiently similar to the eight hour
plant to make a. fair comparison.
Here are tho main conclusions sum-
married..
Maintenance Of output-The out
standing feature Of the eight-hour
NAy. Al 0kO0Ny" MISUNDERSTANDING vi OulpULs
The outstanding feature of the TO-
hour system is the decline Of output.
Lost time-Under the eight-hour
system work with almost full power
begins and ends approximately on
schedule. and lost time is reduced
td minimum. Under. the 10-hour
system work: ceases regularly before
the end Of the spell and lost time is
4requent. -
stereotyped output-Under the 10
hour system the workers seem to ar
tfhcially. restrict their efforts and to
keep: pace with the less efficient
workers. Under the eight-hour' day
the output varies more nearl v ac-
cordins to the indtvidual capacity .of
the worker: That is:. each. Il more
likely to do his utmost, rather than
an average days work." regulated
by a low standard:
When there is a reduction OF out
put due to fatigue there. is rise in
the number Of 'accidents: that is in
the last hours Of the: 10 or 12-hour
day, in spite Of employees slowing UP
in work, more accidents occur. );
