Throws Hat in Non-P artisan
Political Ring

Phoenix, Ariz.-The non-partisan
political hat of organized labor has
been thrown into the ring, and Ari-
zona unionists will take part in the
primaries as we'll as in the general
election. The State Federation of
Labor has issued a program of action
that divides the state into various po-
litical subdivisions, with the county
as the unit
The State Federation makes these
suggestions:
Begin with the primary. See to it
that a good union man or a known
friend of labor is nominated for the
legislature in each district, and this
holds good for other offices.
IF no candidate appears upon whom
the working men can absolutely de-
pend, induce a good man to come out
and then unite on him and nominate
him If it appears impracticable to
nominate him on one ticket, concen-
trate on the other party.
THE main thing is to have your
candidate nominated on one or the
other of the predominant party tick
cts and then 60 to bat and elect him
by majority which will be warn
mig to the reactionary enemies of labor
for years to come.
DO not rely on promises. Look
up his record. What he has done in
the past is a good indication of what
he will do in the future Be sure of
your man.

PALMER CHANGES
FRONT
Now Declines Credit For Se-
curing Injunction Against
Coal Miners

Richmond, Va.-According to the
daily press, Attorney General Palmer
does not now claim that he secured
an injunction against striking coal
miners ''to maintain the supremacy of
the law" His latest story is that the
injunction was used to force ''arro-
giant labor" to give a hearing to cap
ital It would appear that the coal
owners pleaded with the miners to
discuss matters and thereby avoid a
strike, but the naughty miners refus-
ed Hence the injunction
Mr.. Palmer expressed this thought
at mass meeting held under the aus
pices of the chamber of commerce.
Admittance to the meeting was by
card The speaker had a good word
for everybody Including radicals that
have heretofore been condemned. He
notified business that wages cannot be
reduced, because workers have not yet
gotten to the point where they are re-
ceiving their fair share
He insisted that he is a champion
of labor, and said that when he was
a college boy, so years ago, he wrote
a thesis on capital and labor in which
he had taken the part Of the under
dog
Thirty years later he said, when
took the coal strike injunction to IN
dianapolis, I found myself demanding
of labor a hearing for capital This
hearing was refused The arrogance
of capital has been broken and the
arrogance Of labor must be curbed.

III. C. OF L. IN ENGLAND

London, England high cost Of
living in England is increasing, de-
spite the passage of the profteering
act, six months ago. At no time dur
ing the war or since the armistice
has the cost of living been higher than
it is today, and the end of the upward
movement is not in sight
The government investigating
committee reported that because of
great profits in cotton thread the
price should be reduced The manu-
facturers replied by increasing the
price.

of Palm Sunday the windows OF
the little bakers shops are suddenly
decorated by a collection of odd-look-
ing swans, made Of kind of bread

currant eyes. OF course the shapes

probably see more rapid and more
substantial development than any 9th
iii country in the world This belief
Is shared by many far-seeing men who
are buying up land everywhere with
feeling Of certainty that the prop
erty will rapidly increase in value.
Land in Mexico is cheaper, per-
haps, than anywhere in the world and
offers unusual opportunities. A far
mer with q scraner can build dam
large enough to store water for the
irrigation Of large tract. Capital,
with its command Of engineering tai
ent could change the face Of Mexico
and plant orange groves and gardens
where now there are arid wastes.
The Mexican orange ripens sooner
than the Florida or California oran-
ges and could command the early
holiday trade in America, but the
groves here are not handled with ex-
pert care, the result being that the
oranges are. as a rule, inferior. The
same groves improved and managed
by Americans would be highly profit
table.
The great barrier to progress VI
Mexico is the narrowing experiences
Of foreigners, particularly Ameri-
cans, in the past few years. Even
men who own land here tremble at
the thought Of returning to isolated
places with their families. 1t will
take years Of tranquility to dispel this
distrust.
Americans who come to Mexico to
buy land in the future will probably
come in groups large enough to give
one another some sort Of protection.
Repeal of the Mexican law forbid
ding foreigners to buy land within
sixty miles OF the border would do
much to help in the development Of
Mexico. Americans who would not
venture into the interior Of Mexico
would buy farms with that area and

some of these--and no country is in
greater need Of new blood, energy

Mining will offer opportunities in
Mexico but it will take years before
the tangle in titles is Strengthened out.
There is certainty Of long and vex-
atious litigation over some Of the min
ing property which has been closed
down owing to the distributed con-
dition Of Mexico. Certain Mexican
sharpers expect to get possession Of
mines under law which clouds the
title to mines that have been shut
down or abandoned.
Persons who think Of establishing
industries should move with caution.
Surface indications are often mislead-
ing in Mexico. An old man who had

States went to the town Of Victoria

could cultivate taste for ice he had
to close his plant.
If the town had been full of ice
boxes before he arrived or If he had
been able to supply each house with
a refrigerator his ice plant might
have been more successful.
People Want Peace.
It seems certain that Mexico will
remain tranquil and that development
and progress will go forward undis-
turbed. The people are tired Of rev.

urgings of their disgruntled leaders,

POLICE HOLD WELL
 DRESSED WOMAN ON
 SHOPL|F TING CHARGE

Well dressed and presenting the ap- pearance of a woman of culture and refinement, Ignacio Mendez proved surprise to the police last night when they found what they considered suf- ficient evidence to warrant them to arrest her on a charge of shoplifting. A department store detective watched the Mexican woman as she loitered among the counters and finally, con- ytnced that she was appropriating goods from the store, called Policeman Mike Strathy A small boy was with the woman at the time of her arrest When Captain Sutherland booked her Mrs Mendez smiled confidently and told the officer there was no one at her home to care for the child. It was not d new story to the captain for women shoplifters often take chill dren with them on their wanderings among the stores as an insurance against their being placed in jail in case they are arrested Captain Suth- erland sent an officer to the address the woman had given as her home and found it was a real estate office Con- vinced that the woman was trying to deceive him, the captain then turned the child over to the detention home and placed the woman in jail.
 Representatives from several stores went through the contents of two large shopping bags which the woman had carried at the time of her arrest and identified many of the articles as hav- ing been stolen The list included sew eral articles of women'S wearing ap- parel of excellent quality. The repre- sentafiyes from the stores declared that in selecting them she showed judgment far above that of the aver age pilferer A set of china dishes. Q generous quantity of lace and pair of shoes were also found in the bags and identified.
 
 It was the pair of shoes that be- trayed Mrs. Mendez, according to of- ficers The shoes were shiny patent leather low-cuts and protruded above the top of one of the bags which she carried. As they were not wrapped they immediately attracted the atten- tor of a store detective and eventual ly led to her arrest.
 According to the representatives from the various stores who called at police headquarters to identify the property there is a mild epidemic of shop lifting at the present eime. For the most part it is of a petty nature as flashy articles of small value prove to be the greatest tempters.
 Cheap rings, boudoir trifles, red rib bon gaudy ornaments and such arti- cles are most frequently taken by the amateur shoplifter. According to the police it has been more than a year since their attention has been called to a case of real professional shoplifting in the city. However, petty thieyery is increasing, although most of the of lenders finally are arrested and pun ished. Almost every week one or more cases of this nature are brought into police court.

WRITEIT BACKWARD

It is a mystery why the Magyars always write their names hind side to, or front side back, so to speak. A Hungarian who signs himself Kiralfy Bella is really Bella Kiralfy. An Amer ican who signs his name Harry J. Wimpus is at once known to all Hun garians as MT. Harry, and any tele- grams which are received for MT. Wimpus are put in the unclaimed rack, because MT. Wimpus las become MT. Harry and is unrecognized by any other name. Thus, Bella Kun is always referred to by the Magyars as Kun Bela.-Saturday Evening Post.
