PRINTERS BACK TO
 WORK; COMPROMISE ID AWAIT DECISION

Arrangements, mutually agreed to, were made yesterday whereby em- ployes will return to work in those Phoenix job printing and bookbinding shops which were closed all last week due to a strike, nation wide, in those industries because of resis- tance. beginning May l, to the de- mand for a 44-hour week.
 The men are returning to work as before the strike, on a basis of a A. hour instead of a 4S-hour week. but with a corresponding reduction of four hours pay, and without con tract. The employers took this action pending further decision of an ulti- mate policy and determination of the controversy.
 The Phoenix shops which were either partially or entirely closed. due to the resistance to a demand for a 44-hour week contract. are the Manufacturing Stationers, the largest printing establishment in the state; the A. c. Taylor Printing CO, the C.. G. G. Morgan Printing Co. the M. M. Hayes Printing Co, the H. c. Crozier bookbinding and ruling plant, and The Republican Print Shop, the rest of the Phoenix shops not having stood against the international order of May 1, except the Bower shop, which has always operated open >hop and not having had union re- lationship.
 About so men of the allied printing crafts went out from these shops May 2 in response to the call of the international union headquarters. These men have declared they did not wish to remain idle and were vill- ing to compromise as Tar as possible in order that work might be resumed. Inasmuch as it has largely been a custom in Phoenix during the sum- mer months to work but A hours a week, the present arrangements will not materially change conditions. In the meantime. the nationwide con- troversy is being waged and future adjustment in Phoenix may be large | ly governed by results obtained throughout the United States. There recently has been revision downward in the prices on many items of printing, by members of the Ben Franklin club, to which prac- | tically all Phoenix shops belong.

The American graves registration service in Paris is opposed to the se- lection at present of the body of an unidentified soldier from the Amer ican war dead in France for removal and burial with honors in the United States. The reason is the constant reduction in the number of unidenti- fled Americans and the hope of eventual identification of almost all of them through teeth charts, which are being sent to Washington and compared with the records.

May I MoUing Day
 for Swine Family
 In City of Attalla

Attalla, April ,-(Special.)-Mem- bers of the swine family, whose hab- itats are in numerous pens and lots within the corporate limits of this city are showing longer faces than usual as time draws on toward May 1, for it is at that time the afore- said grunters and squealers must va cate their present domiciles in search of other abodes beyond the city limits, according to the requirements of a certain ordinance which now ap- pears in the municipal code here.
 Just what will be the exact fate of these outlawed residents has not yet been determined by a large num- Der of their owners. Some will yet perhaps go the way in which their forebears have trod and fall victims to the butchers knife despite the passing of hog-killing weather. others will doubtless be conveyed to haunts' inhabited by their country cousins to grow and fatten and await the com ing of another winter. still others, if is hinted, will be concealed in nearby spots and attended by their doting owners If precedents in cer- tain cases are not shattered by close surveillance of the inspecting officer during the summer months.
 But the city fathers say May 1 Is the limit After then no hogs shall be allowed within the confines of this municipality.
