CHIEFS NOTIFY PREST.
DENT BILL is UNACCEPTABLE.

| Representative of the railroad
brotherhoods who conferred with Pre-
sident Wilson recently on wage de-
mands called at the White House to-
day to present memorial to the pre-
s1dent protesting against the passage
OF the railroad bill and stating that
the labor provisions are wholly un-
acceptable to the railroad workers.
Accompanying the letter to the pre-
sident was the memorial which the
railroad men recently sent to mem
Ders OF congress. The president was
asked to give his careful considera-
/ tion.
In our analysis of the labor proyi-
sions of the act" said the letter. 1--WE
have set forth reasons, coupled with
our years of practical application and
experience of negotiating wage ad-
justments which to us seem sufficient
to warrant the definite conclusion
that the congress has not proposed a
method of procedure acceptable at any
time and entirely inadequate to meet
the present situation.
we feel sure that you can agree
with us to the extent that there is
little likelihood that congress will be
able to reach an agreement that will
insure prompt disposition of the
question" "a
Assurance was given railroad labor
organizations today by the railroad
administration that return of the roads
March l would not affect negotia-
tions now pending as to interpreta-
tlons OF the various wage agreements
which were made with the labor
groups during federal control. Direc-
tor General Hines annuonced that
while the divisions of operations and
labor as such would be discontinued
March 1, representatives of the rail
road administration would carry to a
conclusion considerations of all griev-
ances. He named c. S. Lake and ]
A. Franklin as his assistants to super
wise and recommend final disposition
of these questions.
Many of these labor demands pro-
vide for retroactive pay. In view OF
this, Hines has authorized railroad
boards of adjustment to continue tC
receive and hear questions which or
dinarily would come to them for set
tlement under existing wage agree
mentS.

LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR HEARD
BY APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE

Thursday evening theater goers of
Winslow were delighted with the
splendid rendition of Lucic Di Lam
mermoor by the Sonora Grand Opera
Company. 1t introduced Consuelc
Medina. Carlos Mejia, and Lejarzu in
the principal roles. Consuelo Medina
played the part of Lucia, the ill-fated
bride of Lammermoor. The role calls
Tor great depth of emotion and fine
delicacy of vocal shading, in both of
which she held her audience. Her
wealth of golden hair helped to bring
out more perfectly the part of the
Scotch maiden.
Lejarazu took the part of Henry
Lucia's brother. He is a splendid
actor and his voice good one. He
was ably supported by group of sing
ers and their rendition of the familiar
'Sextette" in the second act was
beautifully given
Mejia, who took the part of Edgar.
won his greatest triumph in the last
act where. after stabing himself, he
sings another familiar number from
Lucia. His beautiful tenor voice
was at it's best in the Interpretation of
this part
The support throughout was good
and the orchestra accompaniment un-
der the leadership of Ignacio del Cas-
tillo, was worthy of commentator.
The scenery and beautiful Scotch
costuming were both we'll brought out
and those who heard the opera enjoyed
one of the best group of artists that
have ever been in Winslow.

BOND ISSUE
FOR GYMNASIUM,

In considering the proposed bond is
sue for a gymnasium the facts LISTED
below will probably be of interest tt
the taxpayers Of Winslow:
The present bonded Indebtedness OF
the district is approximately 100000
The valuation is $3,4000,000. The
legal limit as provided by the statutes
| is 6 per cent or in this case over
$4,000 so it is evident that if this
issue is approved the total will be
considerably less than half the amount
allowed by law.
Moreover a sinking fund is being
laid aside every year to take care of
this $60,00000 so to say that the dis
trict owes that amount is not accurate
as a goodly portion of it is in the
banks of the county drawing interest
Most of this amount will be taken up
during the next ten years.
In view of the above conditions the
School Board arranged this issue so
that $5,00000a will be retired at the
end of ten years, $10,0OOOO at the end
of fifteen years and $10,OOO.OO at the
end Of twenty years. This arrange
ment is evidently logical one as at
the end of ten years most of the pre-
sent Indebtedness will have been re-
tired and about all the district will
owe will be the remaining $200000O
of the present issue.
Now as to what 1t will cost. The
bonds are to draw per cent; this
will amount to $1,5O000; sinking
fund of $4,000 will be put aside MAX
ing total of 100000 to be raised
each year. The school district is
spending at the very lowest estimate
100000 per year for rentals, that is
for Commencement, for various enter
tainments, etc. Deducting this, tho
net amount to be raised is $4,000 per
year.
On valuation of $3,500,OO00O this
amounts to five cents on the $4,000
Considered in this light it is evident
what small burden it will be to build
this gymnasium. Consider the aver
age citizen in Winslow who owns his
own home Let us estimate that it
is worth 100000. 1t will be assessed
for $3,000.00 His tax then would be
$3.50 per year. What citizen is there
in Winslow who would not be willing
to pay $150 per year for building of
this kind?
Considered from another angle if
these bonds are approved the tax rate
will be increased one eighty eighth or
if ones taxes at the present time are
$500 next year if the gymnasium is
built they would be $500.
Is not the health and happiness of
Winslow's children worth this small
sacrifice?
