 1 The Resolution.
 The members of the Arizona Daily Newspaper association at their an
 nual meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, April II, 1921, adopt this resolution
 as an article of good faith to them selves, their employees and the public. RESOLVED, that the demands of the members of the International
 Typographical union for a working
 week of A hours, or a work day of
 seven hours and 20 minutes, is basic ally wrong. That the adoption of
 shorter week than AS hours or short CT day than eight hours would reduce production and increase cost of print ing and publishing at time when all costs must necessarily be reduced. We do hereby declare our disapproval of a working week of A hours or a working day of seven hours and 20 minutes, and we pledge our member ship collectively and individually not to agree to or sign any contracts or agreement with any printing trade union for working day calling for less than eight hours or a working week calling for less than AS hours.
 The following resolution was adopt ed on the deathe of MT. Arntzen:
 Whereas, the All Seeing Power has seen fit to remove from his earth ly duties and friendships Carl M. Arntzen, of the Tucson Citizen, and
 Whereas. MT. Arntzen was one of the beloved and valuable members of this association, always solicitous of it's welfare and active in it's councils, | and
 Whereas, his death leaves void in the newspaper service in Tucson and l the state of Arizona, therefore
 Be it resolved, that the Arizona Daily Newspaper association, in it's annual meeting do express it's deepest sympathy to Mrs. Arntzen and furth- errnore that copy of these resolu- tions be spread upon the minutes of this organization"
