During recent years much progress

Weekly ensemble practice has been
feld since the organization OF the
clubs with the object of presenting
to the public an annual spring con-
cert. This course has been followed
with the exception of one year, the
concert being omitted then because
OF the war. The membership OF the
clubs has grown until at the present
time their combined personnel num-

The orchestration has also been in
creased from time TO time and il now
includes all of the various instru-
ments. With this increase in
orchestration II has been possible to
greatly widen the scope of the music
played, and in this connection is
quoted the following extract from the
comments of the music editor of one
of the local papers in reviewing the
program given by the clubs last year:
But to essay and to justify the
playing of Schubert's Unfinished SYM

LADY FIREMEN HOLD ENJOYABLE
AFFAIR

The Ladies of the B. of l.. F. and
r. were responsible for the dance
given at the Electric Theater Tues
day evening, February 22 1t is a
pleasant responsibility, however, for
many who attended are unanimous
in their opinions of it's being one Of
the most enjoyable terpsichorean
treats of the season. The hall was
tastily decorated in the patriotic
colors of red, white and blue; the
colors that are always appropriate
in any place or upon any occasion.
There were also in evidence nina
ture hatchets as reminders of that
particular virtue which belonged to
the immortal Washington upon whose
birthday this dance was given. 1t is
a jolly crowd who entered into the
spirit If the dances and aided by ex-
cellent music, the hours of the nigh.
fed as it's shades before a rising sun
and all to quick, the early hours Of
the morning approached to close the
pleasant festivities. Many are there
who will look forward to recur-
renee of this event next year.

GIRLS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP OF
NORTHERN ARIZONA; BOYS LOSE

AS far as Winslow is concerned
the Basketball Tournament at Flag
staff was a fifty-ffty proposition. The
girls team won the championship of
Northern Arizona and a trip to Tue
son Tor try at the State Champion
snip. The boys lost the same chance
Dy the narrow margin of one point
In both cases the deciding game
was played with Prescott, both
schools having won in the prelimi-
naries. The Prescott girls were
beaten decisively Winslow needing
only one more point to make the
score two to one. The final result
was II to 8.
The boys game was in doubt dur
ing every second Of play. The teams
were evenly matched and each player
was playing like his life depended
upon the result The game was
rough two Prescott players and one
Winslow player being taken out of
the game for personal fouls. The
final score was 19 to Is in Prescott s
favor and this team will therefore
State Tournament.
These games were played Saturday
forenoon and Saturday night the two
Winslow teams played Flagstaff for
the cup. Neither Flagstaff team had
played during the day and after the
exhausting games of the forenoon
neither team was in condition to play
fresh team. AS result Flagstaff
won both games at night.
The Normal School then upheld
their reputation for hospitality and
everyone went home voting Flagstaff
people to be royal entertainers.
Tuesday night the girls team left
for Tuscon, the tournament being
Thursday to Saturday of this week.
The boys team left Thursday morn
ing for trip to Kingman, Williams
and Flagstaff.
A week from Saturday night, March
9Th, the girls team will play the
Flagstaff High School and the boys
team will play the Normal team.
These games should be close and in
teresting and will give Winslow peo-
pie in the case of the boys game a
chance to see what our team can do
against the cup-winners when both
teams are fresh.

CONDEMNS USE OF THE
INJUNCTION LAW

Enactment by congress of law de-
claring labor organizations are not
co-partnerships and shall not be so
treated in law or in equity" is de-
manded by organized labor in de-
claration of principles adopted by
representatives of national and inter-
national unions affiliated in the
American Federation of Labor.
The declaration, approved after an
all day conference at which Samuel
Gompers presided, also called for the
immediate restoration of exemption
from, or the repeal of all anti
combination and so-called conspiracy
laws
Condemning use of the Injunction
under present laws, the declaration
asserted that the only immediate
course" through which labor could
find relief "lies in the refusal on the
part of labor to recognize or abide
by the terms of injunctions which seek
to prohibit the doings of acts which
the workers have a lawful and qua
ranteed right to do"
Labor realizes fully the conse-
quences of such a course" it was
added, "but in the defense of Amer1-
can freedom and of American inst1-
tutions, it is compelled to adopt this
course, be the CON- eQuenceS Wnat
they may"
Organized labor set forth the
principles for which it stands and
calls on the people to rally with
labor "to the defense of our imperlll-
ed American institutions"
Employers Are Warned
Employers are warned in the de-
claration that labor mot only in
sists on maintaining the present
standards of wages and working con-
ditions, but declares it's solemn pur-
pose to continue it's struggle to fur
ther improve those standards"
The declaration charged "some en-
ployers" with supporting "at times
in secret some of the insidious pro-
paganda of radical European fanatl-
cism" because of their common
antogonism to the trade union move
ment."
There Is an unscrupulous and a
natural aptitude for intrigue in this
fanatical propaganda" the statement
said, (which makes it most subtle
menace to every democratic ideal and
institution in our country
"Repeal by the states of all indus
trial court laws and all restrictive
and coercive laws, including the
commonly known open port law of
Texas, was demanded, together with
"freedbm from decisions of courts
holding trade unions and individual
members thereof liable in damages
for the unlawful acts Of others"

SECOND DEBATE HELD in HOL.
BROOK LAST NIGHT

The second debate was held in
Holbrook last night. This time Win
lsiow had choice Of sides and chose
the affirmative, defending the closed

These summer days are indicative
of the coming of the gentle spring
time when the motor tourist will hold
sway on our county roads and throng
the National Old Trails on their an
nual exodus to the land of the Pacific
And while we are thrilling with
spring timesonnets, let's get busy and
and provide a good camping ground
for the thousands of motor tourists
that are coming through Winslow
this year. Every city and little com :
munity along the inc of the National
Old Trails from Washington to Los
Angeles has it's camping grounds
for the motor tourist. Some Of these
grounds are elaborate. Some are very
U0dSor W1Cu Cn0lr dCCOm1nOQ
tions. Either one will be advertised
by the motorist and the one that has
the best Accommodations will receive
the patronage Every touring car
that goes over the National Old Trails
will leave some money in Winslow.
1t is low estimate to say thet each
motor car party will leave $500 in
the city Men who know have said
they will leave much more. Twenty
or thirty thousand cars a year pass
| ing through means the spending of
| $150000 to 100000 in the city by
these visitors. If camping conditions
are frugal, many parties will stay
longer and spend more. If camping
conditions are good many motorists
will make an especial effort to camp
here. For those who want regular
hotel accommodations, to them it can
be served To those that camp. we'll,
little work would make camping
ground attractive. If there are COM
Portable camping grounds many
motor parties will take the several
side trips from Winslow, but if The
| lDcal camping accommodating are
not conducive to stopping with us,
| they will be on their way.

answered her SOS messages.
The vessel had 4,7O0 tons Of cop

TREASURE HUNTERS
DRAG OCEAN FLOOR
FOR LOST MERIDA
SBy Associated PreSal

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 7.-Search for
sunken treasure amounting to 3d.
100000 and which has been at the
bottom of the ocean eleven years in
the wreck of the Ward Line steam
ship Merida is vigorously going on
Mt a point 60 miles east of the Vir-
ginia capes where the Merida went
down after collision with the Unit
ed Fruit company's steamer Admiral
Farragut. Word has come from the
treasure hunters that they believe
they have located the wreck of the
sunken vessel and expect soon to
bring to the surface of the ocean the
gold, silver and precious stones which
had to be abandoned when the vessel
sunk.
The search for the treasure ships
wreck is being made from the steam
er Ripple, a disreputable looking
craft. Looks don't amount to much
as far as salvage vessels go, howev-
overland aboard the Ripple is the best
gear for the work in hand that can
be obtained. Manned by a picked
crew of twenty-five men the ship
carries three of the best-known d.
vers of the country, all of them able
to work at depths considerably in
excess of the 200 feet, in which the
Merida is supposed to lie:
The search for the Merida's treas
ure is being financed by group Of
prominent New Workers. The Rip
pie left New York on August 80, and
has been steadily dragging the bot
tom at a point approximately sixty
miles east of Cape Charles, where the
Merida is supposed to have founder
ed. When the Ripple commenced
the sweeping of the bottom at the
position given by Captain GeorgeW.

ida when she sunk, Six-mile row of

be twice. gone over. Finally the drag
line grew taut. Captain Nordstrom,
who is aboard the Ripple, believed
> that--the- obstruction encountered is
a pile of the Merida's lifeboats and
lifecrafts which were dropped over
from the steamship Hamilton after
she had taken the passengers aboard.
The Hamilton's position at that time
is estimated at from a quarter of a
mile to mile from the spot where
the Merida rests.
Those aboard the steamer feel con-
fident that, once located, the wreck
can easily be stripped of its treas
ure. Among the three divers is
FrankJ. Crilley, who holds the world
