LABOR THREATENS
BUT LEADERS SAY
NOT THEIR FAULT

Chicago, June S.-Warning thai
the acceptance of wage reductions
was in the hands of the rank and file
of employees the Railway Brother
hood chiefs today disclaimed respon-
sibility if the men refused to accept
a cut and "a stoppage of triffic" re-
suited. The strike suggestion was
made by L. E. Sheppard head of the
conductors, and W. G. Lee, president
of the trainmen, in opening the Big
Four testimony before the Railway
Labor Board wage hearing today.
They were followed by w. S. Car
ter, president of the firemen and
enginemen, who developed a new
field of evidence in behalf of the en-
CINE service men, Almost disregard
ing the cost of living and outside wage
argument used heretofore, Mr.. Car
ter presented voluminous data on the
hazards of his clients employment,
and on what he called their closing
fight to maintain an adequate wage
standard"
The attitude of the railroads in at
tempting to cut wages and the labor
board reduction'order of June 7 would
be the responsible causes if the train
and engine service men vote to strike
July l when they meet here in con-
ference, Mr.. Sheppard said.

Two More Under Arrest
.JDy Associated Preasl


Cleveland, June 8.-A man whose
identity is not disclosed, was placed
under arrest tonight on the theory
that he may have been the slayer of
Dan Kaber. A second arrest today
was that of woman whose name also
is not disclosed, who was arrested in
Sandusky early Wednesday morning
by Cleveland police, who made hur-
ried auto trip to that city.
This woman's connection with the
case, police believe, was the furnish
ing of slow poison to Kaber during
his illness, and later to find some one
willing to infict the fatal stab
wounds.
When the police arrived at the Ka-
Der home the night of the crime the
victim made the statement that "a
man with cap did it." II

REMINISCENT

Uncle Joe" Cannon, now that
Champ Clark has gone, the only liv-
ing former speaker of the house,
has called attention to the fact it
was the $4,000 appropriated by the
republican party during the McKin-
ley, Roosevelt and Taft administra-
tions that brought about the inven-
tion of aircraft. He said:
1t is wonderful how we progress.
And this progression commenced on
an amendment reported on an ap-
preparation by the Committee on
Appropriations that 1 had the honor
to have. charge of.
"Prof. Langley, the head of the
Smithsonian Institute, now dead and
gone, invented the air plane, the
first one that was ever built on
earth. The ridicule that he receiv-
ed was the cause of his death. He
was cartooned and ridiculed all over
the country. He did make mach
inc with the modest appropriation,
as l recall it, of $4,000. 1t was
taken on a scow down on the Po-
tomac, and at first it did not make
an extended fight. That machine is
still in existence. 1t did this much
good The Wright brothers, those
bright men-we call them Yankees;
if not, they are first cousins of the
Yankees-put their hands to the
plow, and they found what that ma
chine needed was an engine, and an
engine was constructed. in the
course of time, without any appro-
priatiOn from the government
The enigne was installed in this
machine, and it flew all over Wash
ington, and spread all over the
world. 1t played an important part
IN the late war"

lature. There will also be returned
TO the bill the appropriation of
100000 for the Arrowhead trails in
Mohave county and $4,000 for the
road from st. Johns to the New
Mexico state line near Zuni.
While it seems entirely possible
that there will be a test case made
CT the question of the constitutional
ity of the governors act, there has
been no stopping of activities toward
the final building of the road across.
Apache county and which is the weak
link in the National Old Trails road
Gallup has SO far organized the
value Of traffic over this road and
the necessity of the road if she would
enjoy that traffic that she spent
several hundreds of dollars in as
sisting northern Arizona in getting
the appropriations retained in the
omnibus bill, and since the veto of
the governor Gallup has turned her
efforts to other channels for the i'm
provement of the road. AS you will
read elsewhere in this issue, Gallup
proposes to build, where necessary,
the road for some distance across
Apache county and she has called
upon Holbrook and Winslow to meet
with them somewhere on the road
at an early date and hold a confer
ence upon the matter of the putting
of this road into better condition and
maintaining it, Under present wea-
ther conditions, the road is in fair
shape and no trouble is encountered
by the motorist, but in the event of
heavy rains there are several STREET
ches where the mud would interfere
and it Is to remedy these stretches
and put them in passable conditions
that this meeting will be called. In
the meantime the court may say that
the appropriations passed by the le-
gislature will still maintain.

The OMNIBUS ROAD BILL Still
BEFORE SOME OF THE PEOPLE.

That all the people of the state
are not satisfied with the treatment
afforded the road omnibus BILL is
evident when the Chamber of Com
merce here received a telegram from
the Greenlee County Chamber of
Commerce stating that that county
desired to test the constitutionality
of Governors Campbell's veto to the
said omnibus bill Our friends in
Greenlee county lose through the
Governors veto $4,000 for the con-
struction of "the necessary road and
bridges between Clifton, Arizona, and
the New Mexico state line"
There seems very decided opinion
among the legal fraternity that the
governors prerogative is conditional
TO the signing of bill or vetoing it
in its entirety. and that he is not
vested with the power of discriminat-
ing against any one Or more para
graphs but must consider the bill as
a whole and that he must either af-
firm or negate it without ggrega-
ton AS the time of the governors
period for action on the bill has long
since passed, it is evident that should
the governors veto be declared un-
constitutional and an act beyond his
authority, then the bill would be in
existence as it was finally passed by
the legislature and there would be
retained within it the paragraphs
which the governor attempted by his
veto to eliminate. These paragraphs
covered not only the road in Green
lee county, but also an appropriation
of $4,000 on the National Old Trails
between Adamana and the New Mexi-
co state line near Lupton; $4,000
between Holbrook and Adamana, in
both of which propositions the people
Of communities along the National
Old Trails are vitally interested and
