WHAT SENIORITY
 MEANS 10 SHOPNEN

Seniority in railroad employment is dependent upon length of service, says Railroad Data" in explaining one of the chief points at issue in the rail road shopmen's strike. In the case of railroad shopmen, there are three main points of importance in seniority rules:
 1. Choice of jobs within the ter litory affected (terminal or shops). The senior workmen, that is, those who have been in the employ of the railroad the longest time, are given first choice of the better positions.
 2. As to tenure of position when reductions in the working forces are made, junior men are laid off first, and the senior men last.
 3. Preference in unemployment. After men have been laid off, they are taken back in the order of sem iority ,and no new labor is employed until former employees, who so wish, have been returned to their positions.

strip and ply woods also are manufac- tured.
 Capacity of the mill is about B. OO0,00O feet board measure per year. The hardwoods are growing in popu- larity as building material throughout the state and outside, and are being used in many fine homes where qual- ity is desired. The products most in demand are standard dimension lum- Der, cigar box lumber, thin veneer and material suitable for interior finish ing.
 Another interesting point in con- nection with the company is that it receives government orders for air plane and seaplane work for which hardwood is desired. It ships cigar box material to a score of cities, from Fl Paso and Denver to New York and Philadelphia, and everywhere the lumber goes it carries the story of Arizona's own hardwood industry.

CROP REPORT FOR
 AUGUST 1922

That Arizona crop prospects main tained their earlier promise of good yields is shown in the August 1 crop report just issued by the division of crop and Live Stock Estimatesyof the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The combined production of wheat, oats, corn, and barley is now esti- mated at 4,107,000 bushels as against a total production of 3,413,0OO bushels in 1921.
 The wheat crop is now estimated at 1,274,000 bushels; oats, 714,00O bush els; corn, 1,159,000 bushels; and bar ley, 960,O0O bushels, Compared with last year, this would mean an in- crease of 434,OO0 bushels of wheat,

BIC BUSINESS HERE
 IN HARDWOOD FLOORS

Felled in forest jungles where Dame Nature limits the logging season to a scant six months; hauled hundreds of miles by railroad to the border of another country; seasoned in great dry kilns where moisture and temperature are regulated by scoentific devices; cut and fashioned into the various forms of lumber, and finally sent out into the civilized world to go into beautiful homes, graceful airplanes and fine cabinets and boxes-these are the steps by which Mexican hard wood is brought from its primitive origin to its modern uses.
 Arzona has perhaps the largest Mexican hardwood industry in the country, the plant of Roy and Tit comb at Nogales. It is growing in dustry, and certainly one of the most interesting in this young state.
 There is touch of romance in the industry too. The hardwood logs must be obtained in country where logging crews encounter on. every hand the obstacles of nature. From their jungle origin they go through score of intricate processes before they reach the public in the many forms which is making Mexican hard wood famous.
 The average citizen encounters hardwood in more forms than he is aware. Much of it is Mexican hard wood. It may be in the airplane you see soaring overhead. Perhaps some of it was in the house you looked at the other day. Probably the box from which you picked few cigars today, was made of Mexican cedar. Furni- ture, fixtures, cabinets-all> of them may be made from logs taken from the lowlands and hills of western Mexico.
 One of the interesting things about this comparatively new Arizona indus try is that it takes care of every op- eration from the felling of the logs to the manufacture of the finished lumber. Its operations cover a dis tance of hundreds of miles.
 The hardwoOds handled are MeXi- can mahogany, Spanish cedar, Mexi- can walnut, huanacaste, Mexican oak, and amapa. All are noted for their beauty and durability. The mahogany is fine furniture and fixture wool. The cedar is soft mahogany, and is used for interior finish, sashs and doors, paneling, molding, etc. It also is used extensively for making high grade cigar boxes. The walnut, oak, huanacaste and amapa also are ex- 'cellent materials for furniture, fix lures, interior finishing and the like. One of the popular varieties is the dark red Spanish oak.
 The Arizona firm gets it's logs in the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Narayit, carrying out it's operations fro mfive to twenty miles from the railroad. Many of the varieties used grow on the coastal plains and in the
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-08-18

jungles, in a region where the sum- mer rainfall is so heavy that it is inn possible to operate between July and November. Not only does the rainy season limit logging to six or seven months year, but flies and other in sects are so disagreeable after the first of June it is hard to get the men to work in the lowlands.
 The company has to meet this sit uation by getting out enough logs dur ing it's sir or seven months logging season to keep the mill at Nogales running all year.
 The Spanish cedar grows in the low lands, averaging from 16 to 30 inches in diameter and from 30. to 40 feet high. The huanacaste, which is a beautiful dark brown wood, also grows on the coastal plains. It has light green smooth bark, and grows up to 10 feet in diameterrand frequently 60 to 70 feet to its first limbs, attain ing a height of 90 feet in many cases. While the sap rots quickly, the wood itself is almost indestructible and has fire resisting qualities.
 White and black oak grow in Mar ayit at an elevation of 4,OOO feet, in the Foothills of the mountain ranges, in forest formation. Owing to the heavy rainfall, there are many streams, and although the country is practically frostless the landscape re- minds one of New England's wooded hills.
 The mahogany, of which the Caoba and Venadillo varieties are considered the highest grades in the world, does not grow in forests at all, but in small clumps of from 4 to 40 trees in country densely covered with junges. It is expensive because of it's scarceness and because it grows in sections where the difficulties of log ging and transportation are great.
 Much of the hardwood felled must be hauled to the railroad on ox-carts.
 Transported to Nogales by railroad, the hardwood logs are converted into the finished material by the most mod ern machinery in marked contrast to the primitive methods which must be employed in logging.
 One of the most important opera tions is seasoning the wood, which is done in big dry kilns where the mois- ture, circulation of air and tempera- ture are scientifically regulated. Hardwood properly manufactured and seasoned will not swell, shrink, split or twist.
 The mill equipment includes such machinery as band log saws, trimmers and edgers, band resaws, band veneer saws, band scroll saw, planers, end matchers, sanders, scrappers, jointers, cutoff and rip saws, mortising and door clamp machines, veneer press, tenoning and coping machine, and other devices.
 Products of the mill range from cigar box shocks to the finish interior finish and fixture woods, including or dinary kiln-dried dimension lumber, flooring, ceiling, holdings, sashs and doors, novelty boxes and cases, and material for furniture, fixtures, cab inets, etc., milled to detail. Veneer
