BRIDGEPORT TYPOS
 ORDER STRIKE ON
 DAILY NEWSPAPERS
Post and Telegram Employes Refuse Overtime Work on Voting Lists
 and Are Fired.
Especial to The Labor News )

SDeC1dl to ne LdDOT INSWS.J
 Bridgeport, Aug. 26.-Because they refused to set the type for Bridgeport's voting lists, which were to be printed in an unfair shop on which strike has been called in connection with the A. hour week, six members of the Bridge port Post-Telegram staff were fired last Friday and when the plant managers re- fused to reinstate them a strike was de- clared against the newspapers. The strike was met by the declaration of the publishers for the "open shop" but that doesn't mean anything as the news papers have always been run under open shop basis and in fact catered to women and other cheap workers in every in stance possible where they could be used in preference to skilled union Workmen, By means of some of this cheap help the papers are able to come out but with apologies to their patrons for their makeup and short amount of newsmat- ter.
 Because of its linotype equipment the Post has for years grabbed off the rake off on the printing of the voting lists and then turned them over to job pressmen for printing after the Post had set them up. Heretofore there has been no kick coming because work was being done by union men III the Post plant ana also in the job shops. This year, however, absolutely unfair shops got the actual printing part of the job and the union men in the Post plant when told to work overtime to get the lists set up refused to do so and handed the copy back to the foremen.
 Meantime officers of the Typographi- cal union waited on the registrars of voters and asked that the work be given to flair" shops. They refused and the union men then absolutely refused to set them. They were discharged and later given their choice of either working long overtime after their usual days work was done on the list or stay fired. They decided to stay fired and when the Post people declined to reinstate them unless they agreed to work overtime on the lists a strike was called.
 The Post and Telegram has right along ignored what little agreement it ever had with the typographical union, working its employees at any and all times without regard to eight hours or prevailing wage scales. The strike will now be fought to finish.

U. s. STEEL WAGES
 ARE REDUCED AGAIN
Cut Is From 37 Cents to 30 Gents An Hour, Effective.
 August 20.

New York, Aug. 26.-Another reduc- tion in wages by the United States Steel Corporation from 37 cents to 30 cents an hour, effective August go, was an- nounced this week.
 Chairman Ebert H. Gary issued the following statement
 Tn view of the prevailing low selling prices of steel as compared to costs of production, it is necessary to make re- ductions in wage rates and therefore, we will recommend to subsidiary companies that the general rates of day labor be decreased to 30 cents per hour, to be- come effective on August go and that other wages and salaries be equitably ad- justed.'
 This is practically the third cut in the wages made by the United States Steel Corporation SO far this year.
 On May 16, 24 per cent reduction was ordered and on July 7, when reduc- tions in prices of finished products were announced, the corporation also elimi- mated extra pay for overtime, amounting roughly to 10 per cent cut in wages.

 FROM I. C. C. RULE

Henry Ford was too persistent as we'll as pestiferous in well doing to please the railroad gang He cuts through govern mental redtape with the facility that a hot knife cuts through butter He has proven this to the satisfaction of the Interstate Commerce Commission when that body refused permission to the De- troit, Toledo & Ironton Railroad to re- duce its freight rates 20 per cent on July %, because 30 days had not elapsed since other reductions had been made
 Without the delay of a day Ford filed a schedule making the reduction effective September 1, which meets all the require ments of regulations and makes it un- necessary for him to secure special per mission to do the public a real service.

FARM WANTED-Wanted to hear from owner of farm or good land for sale for Fall delivery. L. Jones, Box 55I, Olney, III.
Arizona republican., 1921-03-16

State Historian A. NJ. McClintock yesterday received from the Oklahoma Historical society an envelope of most interesting clippings, dating around 1893. Some of the articles seem almost like prophecy.
 There is one interview, taken from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, cov- ering the experiences in Arizona of John J. O'Neill, who appears to have been elected to congress that year. It told of visiting "a country that is a garden and in it's midst a bustling. eiectric-lit, paved CD brick built and altogether modern little city, called Phoenix" Mir. O'Neill spoke eloquently in opposition to d plan for the irriga- ton of the Salt River valley by a pri- vate company, forcibly stating the reclamation of the desert lands of the territories is as much the duty of the general government as the improve ment of it's rivers and harbors."
 A clipping from the editorial columns of the San Francisco Chronicle of May 13. 1892, told of the organization of a company in Phoenix for construction of the largest artificial reservoir in the world, with capacity for 103 3o5s, ,040, 800 cubic feet of water. the dam to cost Sl,5oo,000 and to irrigate "ali the lands Of the Gila, Verde and Salt valleys from point where the water is taken out, clear to the Colorado at Yuma"
 Another editorial is from the Denver News, especially considering the ne-

cessity known in Arizona, for outlet to a deep water port on the Gulf Of California This accompanied very elaborate article in the same issue. one written by "Fitz-Mac" Mccarthy, upon Prescott and social conditions in cen tral Arizona The writer observes, Tt hurts my Colorado pride to say 1t, but there are towns that can take a lesson in push from Phoenix. An, It's a nlucky little city and is bound to keep things moving or bust a cylinder" It gives the population of the day a fine moral bill of health, telling there is less ruffianism in Arizona than in any other state west of Missouri.
 From the San Francisco Chronicle is an interview with Tom Davis, one of the best-known pioneer Arizonians, who exploits the high worth of the Wentworth ranch in Pinal, property owned by him and Richard E. Sloan, and who urged consideration of a water storage dam at the Buttes above Florence, on the Gila river.
 Last. but not the least interesting, are a couple of very elaborate fake stories, of the discovery of an electrical stone in an almost inaccessible noun stone that killed any form of anima life that might touch it, and of glass mountain in the Harqua Hala range, northwest of Phoenix, where an ob- sidian mass could be seen for many miles, glittering in colors of green, blue and black.

SANTA F MAY MAKE
 SPECIAL SHEEP RATE

The Santa F'e railroad will advise the corporation commission not later than Monday of a rate on shipments of sheep in carload lots from Phoenix and other points in southern Arizona to the northern counties. The com mission will take the matter under advisement and. if it is held satisfac- tory. will authorize the rate on one days notice.
 This was agreed at a hearing held before the commission yesterday when leading sheepmen in the state advised the commission of conditions that made It impossible to trail the sheen to the north for lack of feed.
 . The sheep have had 50 per cent of the amount of feed they require and are in rum down condition. Hugh campbell. president of the Arizona Wool Growers association, told the commission He said there were more than 100000 sheep in the southern part Of the state. and that the overland trip would mean making four or five miles day. while they would have to travel approximately 75 miles before they would strike feed in the foothills where there has been an abundance of rain.
 If the railroads do not make us a fair rate, they will deprive themselves of their own revenue, for there will be no sheep to ship east later in the sea son." said MT. Campbell.

there were only 23 Christian Endeavor societies in the entire state, but that number has now grown to 66. The outlook for Christian Endeavor in Ari- zona is bright and great things are ex- pected during the coming year.
 At the close of the convention re- ports Harold Singer, reelected president of the state union, was presented with a handsome portfolio as a mark of the society's appreciation of his zeal in the interests of Christian Endeavor. The society pledged it's loyal support to the state organization for the coming year.
 The meeting was closed with a short program. Miss May Richards sang in her usual charming manner and Miss Winne Hoopes gave two very enter taining readings.
