TWO FEASIBLE SOLUTIONS OF WATER PROBLEM PROPOSED

f water that is free from bacteria which might cause dangerous
 epidemics in the community.
 Some well water is not free from this danger. The water in the municipal reservoir has been tested repeatedly and has
 always proved free from in- furious bacteria. In another
 column of this issue~of the News
 appears a report on recent tests
 made of Williams water. Dr.
 Jeffries, city health officer, pre-
 pared and shipped the samples
 and the tests were made in the state laboratory. It will be noted that the municipal water tested high. These tests are
 sufficient to prove that the
 water is safe, altho not as pal atable as is to be desired. As for quantity. the canyon which feeds the city reservoir, ran enough water this spring to last the city for a number of years had all of the run off been impounded and saved. If the city reservoir were made large enough the city would have an ample supply.
 But what of the odor and the unpleasant taste? The odor is due to a minute variety of fresh water algae, a veg etable. This little plant springs to life early in the sum- mer-just as soon as the water is warm enough and the supply of free oxygen in. the water be- comes low due to the stream which feeds it, drying up. While neither this little plant nor the odor which it causes is injur- ious to the health of human be- ings, yet the odor Is so extreme ly unpleasant that it makes the water unsatisfactory. There are several formulae which are recommended for treating the water to retard the work of the algae but none of these are en- tirelv successful. The muni- cipal water department is now using the formula which is con- ceded by best authorities as being the most effective and the least harmful. There re- mains one more step to be talk en in making the water satisfac- tory. That is aeriating the water.
 New York City as well as thousands of other cities. was once confronted by identically the same problem which now confronts Williams. They solved it by aeriating the water. The New York water is taken from the Catskill mountains. It is caught in large reservoirs and then passed thru a series of smaller reservoirs at lower levels. As the water enters the lower reservoirs it is spray ed high into the air so that it receives a large charge of free oxygen and this removes the odors and makes the water 11n- pleasant to drink. Similar treatment would undoubtedly make the Williams water en- tlreLw satisfactory. But what of the expense? This and other qestions will be taken up later.

ANOTHER FARMERS COMMUNITY GOES
 OVER THE TOP

Last Sunday, Septem. CT 3, 1922, the farmers of Spring Valley invited the Coconino Farm Bureau Marketing As sociation to discuss with them the warehouse problem. The same problems taken up at Red Lake Valley the previous Sun day were taken up and discuss ed All were in favor of erec- ting a warehouse but the opin- ion prevailed that the building should house potatoes only on account of the high insurance rate for a hay barn, that rate being prohibitive. Possible To- cations were discussed and the good and bad points of such To- cations pointed out. The man agement favors one large cen tral warehouse at Williams, one at Flagstaff, and a smaller one at Maine. The chief difficulty with warehouses at flag stations being the difficulty of reaching such warehouses in extreme weather, and the danger of los ing car of potatoes by freez- ing even after it is loaded. The railroad seldom furnishes cars as promptly at these little sta tions.
 Some of the farmers of Spring Valley were so much determin- ed to have storage for their po- tatoes that they had bought the warehouse site at Maine and were preparing to build their own warehouse. The Asso- citation is encouraging such un- dertakings and will take over the warehouse as soon as it is ready for use.
 Like the farmers of Red Lake Valley, these farmers signed up for a share of stock each in the Association. It can be said of the farmers of Spring Valley that they are as ready to put their shoulders to the burden as any other farm CTS. In a short time the Asso- citation will have it's stock ready to issue. If all farming com munities in Coconino County should turn out as large a per cent of sgners as have Red Lake and Spring Valley, the much needed warehouses would soon be a reality. Next Sunday there will be a meeting at the community house in Doney Park. All farmers are urged to attend this meeting for it will be an important one.
 The people called upon MT. T. H. Cureton to explain the Williams High School problem The people of Spring Valley are 100 per cent for the high school.
 One item the writer will not attempt to describe. the spread, or feed" one gentleman called 1t, prepared by the ladies. Suf- flee it to say that Spring Valley doesn't want for ladies skilled Tn the culinary art. This was the unanimous decision of those present as evidenced by the cOntented countenances cir cling the big table.

w 11l1d11lS IlCS O g. Oc~S but the realization of that fu- ,ture is being delayed by one great municipal want-palat- able drinking water in the sum mer time. It behooves the i. citizens of Williams to lay aside >all other differences and get to- gether on a solution of this problem.
 , Of the several proposed so- lutions two stand out as being feasible and within the financial means of the town. One Of these is the development of the well and spring water of the farms out south of town in the watershed of the Santa Fe Canyon. The other is the building of another dam or the : enlargement of the present city reservoir and the installation of an aeriating plant to remove the offensive odors from the water during the warm weath- CT. There is no logical reason for delaying the solution of this municipal problem. The inn proved water is needed NOW and now is good time to do construction work because the cost of materials and labor is as low as it is apt to get for many years to come.
 There are those who believe the first of the two solutions IS the better and there are others who adhere to the second so- , lution as the most feasible and most economical. The News seeks fuller information regard ing the probable supply of : water from each. the quality of the water and the cost of put ting in the necessary equipment for securing the water. For the purpose of obtaining this information and in order to get full information before the peo- pie of Williams we herewith open our space to discussion of the water problem. Any one having any information to -offer on either of the proposed . solutions mentioned above, is invited to submit the same to the News. We offer two col : umns of space each week free of charge for the discussion of this topic. Regarding the first proposed solution. the News has nothing new to offer this week. We would suggest that before any definite move is made in this direction, a careful test should be made of the available wells and their flow accurately recorded. Unless the supply .should prove to be ample it surely would be unwise to spend any great amount of money for developing this pro- ject.
 We urge careful considera- ton of the feasibility of enlarg- ing the supply of water in the municipal reservoir and treat ing it in a way to dispense with the unpleasant odor and taste which it now develops during the warm summer months
 The first consideration in pro- viding supply of water for drinking purposes is to get

California Judge has 0|d-Fash:
Ioned Idea Of Justice.

Free expression of opinion must
not be abridged, whether it be
through powerful newspaper or
the small pamphlet of trade union.
The above summaries a remark
able decision by Judge Luce of the
superior court ,of San Deigo, Cal,
who has refused to enjoin organized
motion picture operators from urg-
ing a boycott on an anti-union pic
ture house.
The theater manager objected to
the unionists' claim that people risk
their lives in this theater because
of incompetent operators. The court
said:
THE court would have difficulty
in finding from the evidence intro
duced that there was, no risk in the
employment by the plaintiffs or that
the danger of fire was entirely un-
founded or that films were not ex-
plosive."
In other alleged exaggerations, the
court held that If this were true the
law and not injunction offers relief.
1T must be clearly remembered
said the court, that any rule laid
down in this case must have equal
application to the publication by cirz
culars and newspapers, whether they
be large or small. and whether they
be the organs Of organized labor or
the organs of organized wealth."
The court refused to use the in
,o@V1yo~ f1' >ofNr fro0 nvnroS.
sion Of opinion, and insistedpthat if
the plaintiffs are wronged they. have
other remedies that the law pro-
vides.
The court quoted from the Mon
tana state supreme court. in the case
of Lindsay & Co. versus the Mon
tana state federation of labor:
ITO declare that q court may say
that an individual may not publish
a particular item is to say that the
court may determine in advance
just what the citizen may or may
not speak or, write upon a given
SUBJECTS, in fact. to say that such
court is cansor Of speech as we'll

In the montana case <tHe COInpd
insisted that defendants were in
solvent, and the court should enjoin
them. The court replied:. "Even
granting this to be so, still the con-
stitution does IS not discriminate among
men according to the hount Of
their possessions"
After reviewing other solemn
warnings on the danger of court con-
troll Of opinion or the press, Judge
| Luce said:
1T no doubt has been the desire
Of many business men and citizens
of the community at times to re-
strain newspaper publications, state
ments and propaganda that injure
them either by violating their per-
sonal privileges or damaging their
business, but the dangers, as pointed
out in the above cases, in constitut-
ing the court the censor of the press.

The printers at that time might
have enforced almost any terms they
pleased. But they agreed to defer
the 44-hour week for e. year. The
employers insisted. on two years. A
compromise was reached and the
employers entered into an agreement
to ablish the. 44-hour week at, the
end of eighteen months.
Employers. Violate Agreement.
At the expiration Of that period
of time. May, 1921, the business de-
preston had arrived, ''deflation"
was under way. The "open shop"
crusaders were abroad in the land.
The employers violated their con-
tracts and attempted to convince the
public that the printers were strik-
ing for higher wages in the face Of
business depression. There was a
great surplus of labor and the en-
ployers urged on by the open shop
pers courted a. strike.
The printers went out but they
went out to win. They have won.
More than 30 per cent of 10000 men
employed in the commercial print
ing plants of the country are back
at work under tbe contracts enforced
by the strike.
Many of the employers who held
out the longest and some that are
still holding out are not fighting
union printers willingly. They are
coerced and frightened into keeping
up the fight by the open shop ele.

The printers strike which started
May 1, f921, when the employers
refused to abide by their agreement
to recognize the 44-hour. week in
commercial printing plants, has been
won. In gaining the. victory the
printers have given a remarkable
emonstration Of>solldarity and de-
termination.
The magnitude. of the strike was
not in the number Of men involved
but in the fact that the international
Typographical union has expended
directly as the result of the strike
$12,oQO,0oo.
While this vast sum of money was
spent by the printers to enforce a
contract agreement there is today in
the International Typographical
union treasury more than 100000
more than when the strike started
says Secretary John w. Hays.
The printers not only: fought for
the Ncontract principle to which the
union has adhered forss yeats, but
bore the brunt of the *open shop"
crusade. It was not from: choice that
the printers engaged in a. nationwide
strike in the face of the frenzy of
the "open shop" campaign conceived
by big business interests. Events that
led up to the strike, in May, 1921,
made it imperative for the printers
to take action or surrender a prin-
ciple.
Fight Based on 44-Hour Week.
For many years the printers have
operated under contracts with en-
ployers, and these contracts running
over a period Of years, have always
been rigidly respected. Because long
term contracts were lived Up to dur
ing war times, the wages Of printers
increased only 10 per. cent while
wages advanced in other trades and
the cost of living SCARED. In some
cases the discrepancy was so great
that employers Voluntarily ! gave
bonuses. ~
When negotiations for new con-
tracts were opened the printers, on
account of the development Of new
machines and the confining nature
of their occupation demanded the A.
hour week, or the Saturday half
holiday. The employers generally ac-
knowledged the justice Of the de-
mand but made a plea for time to
assimilate. the change in conditions.
War profiteers who were spending
money lavishly in 1919 and 1920 for
printed matter and advertising so
that it might. be deducted from their
