MINING OUTLOOK BETTER

The reports of the United States
Geological Survey for the first half
Of 1922 covering Utah, Montana, Ida
no, Arizona, Nevada and California
show that metal mining in all these
sts tes is experiencing a decided re-
vival after year or more of stagna-
ton such as the industry has never
before experienced.
Metal prices are increasing gradu-
ally, freight rates have been reduced
and labor conditions are good
The Pittman Act has helped save
silver mining during this critical pc
Rod and generally reduced cost of
operation and price of materials is
aiding in the resumption of gold
mining.
Increased use of copper by our
own people is the surest way of
helping put this greatest of our
western metals on it's feet. The
tutlook for lead and zinc is also
most favorable.
Summarizing mining reports, the
West can feel thankful that it's met

Editor Winslow Mail:
Dear Sir: Through your publica-
ton, we wish, in behalf of the Fed
Grated Shop Crafts, to express in a
feeble yet truthful manner, our ap-
probation and gratitude for the
quick and solidifed response to the
call to arms to protect our Consti-
tuition, as well as the most beautiful
Flag, that plays in the God-given
breezes of the whole world.
The good people of Winslow said
Yes, we are with you," not by word
only but by action; and their con-
tinuity of action in support of their
word from the beginning, naturally
creates feeling of confidence in us
that the people of. this immediate
vicinity realize that the time is at
hand when the producers of the ne
cessities of life, as well as those en-
gagged in the transportation and
proper distribution thereof, are en-
titled to living wage under condi-
tons that will enable us to ever
point to the Stars and Stripes with
pride and smilingly proclaim that it
IS the United States Flag. We love
it; we honor it.: we will continue to
light for it. 1t is our Flag; we re-
luse to allow it to be placed in the
'front.' windows of the present day
.noney-changers and profiteers. Und-
ar this Flag we gladly and cheerful
y responded to every call for its
protection during the recent World
Var
Today we find it is being used un-
awfuly, unconstitutiOnally, inasmuch
as the profiteers of this and other
nations are being allowed to advise
our administrative officers to use
military force if necessary to COM
pei producers and other workers to
accept a wage and working condi-
lion that will ultimately mean the
lOwnfall of this nation.
We wish to say to the people of
WinslOw-yOu are not alone. We
get reports from all parts of the
United States not given out by the
daily press. Your kind support and
nighly commendable response as
sures us that your Radio is work

STRIKE Is QUIET

The strike situation in Winslow is
one that is very complimentary to
the local boys who are out on the
contest In spite of the wild rumors
of troubles elsewhere that have gone
broadcast, there has been no trouble
here. 1t was reported that soldiers
had been asked for to protect prop
erty in Winslow but there has at no
time been any occasion for bringing
them here and we are confident no
such condition will arise. The local
boys are too sincere and serious and
have too much respect for the rights
of others to jeopardize their posi-
ion by any unlawful conduct.

 To us in Great Britain, the pro- posals are especially disappointing because tens of thousands of the very best of our men were sacrificed in wrestling from the Turk the lands which he had hlighted by his misrule.

 The settlement with the Turk was left in abeyance by the peace confer ence delegates at Paris in 1919. not only because they were occupied set ting urgent matters nearer home, but because such a settlement did not appear to be urgent. The fruits of victory did not appear to be in ieop- ardy. We believed that the United States could be relied upon in due course to lend hand in dealing with the Turk according to his deserts.

Der mills. They have to be creosoted and sell for about 75 cents each. The price of ties varies according to the supply and demand. They have been as cheap as 40 and 50 cents in Ala bama.
 The Louisville and Nashville rail- road on it's line from Decatur to Montgomery figures the life of the average tie at six years. A total of 2,SS0 ties are required to lay a mile of single track. The company re- places one-sixth of the ties every year so that traffic may continue over the tracks unhindered by repair work. Section men are skilled in the work. They dig the earth from under the rails, slide out the old tie and slip in the new one.
 From time to time the railroads send inspectors up and down the lines inspecting the lot of ties and accept ing them for shipment.

With the coming of spring weather section gangs are busy on the rail- road lines of the state replacing worn out crossties. Cutting these crossties has become, In the winter at least, an important secondary in dustry in Alabama.
 The Louisville and Nashville rail- road alone uses 100000 crossties an nually on it's lines in the state. The Southern system uses as many. and it is estimated by railroad officials that 1,6O0,00O ties are used each year in Alabama. Crossties now sell for about so cents each and it can be seen that the income ot the state from the industry Is more than a million dollars. few ties used locally are shipped from other states but Ala bama also exports ties through the port of Mobile.
 The tie capital of Alabama is De- catur. Ties are shipped up and down the river by the thousands and col lected at Decatur for shipment. All during the winter months ties are cut through the Tennessee valley and with the coming of spring are hauled in wagons to the river and shipped on barges to Decatur. Some of the ties are sent from Decatur to Guthrie, Ky, to be creosoted. Those not requiring treatment are used wherever needed along the railroad lines.
 Tuscaloosa furnishes number of ties as a subsidiary part of the lum Der business there. Most of the ties from Tuscaloosa are sawed by mills. Many ties hewn by hand in the old fashioned way come from Falkville Cullman and Oneonta. Mobile ships ties to eastern and foreign ports. Every county in the state supplies at least a few ties.
 Oak trees furnish the favorite tie material in the state. White. post and chestnut oaks make lasting ties with out Icing creosoted. Railroads are now paying S5 cents for standard size ties of the wood mentioned. An other branch of the oak family. the red oak is not as durable as other members of the oak family.

 london, April 1.-Humiliating in the extreme is the agreed-upon set clement in the near east There is little doubt that it will be accepted. The allied powers have authority to impose their will upon the Greeks. The Turks. having the better of the arrangement. will of course accept. The return to London of Lord Curzon from the Paris conference of the al- lied foreign ministers has not been greeted with enthusiasm. The agreed upon document which is 10 be put forward as the basis for restoration of peace in the near east is far from satisfactory. The conference, how ever, was faced with complications directly arising out of the failure of the military operations of the Greeks in Asia Minor. This forced a com promise settlement Assent of the al- lied governments to the plan of their ministers will follow as a matter of course as all are committed. In ad- dition, non-ra ratification would only lead to further dubious diplomatic exchanges.
 Anti-Climax to Hope
 The best thing that now can happen IS for the conclusion to be adopted as soon as possible by the allies and the belligerents alike. They are an anti-climax to the great hope that had been entertained of near east settlement of quite a different kind.
 The complete text of the agreement now is fully known in America It leaves the Armenians to their fate, subject only to the proviso, which is a mere pretense, that they are to be under the protection of the League of Nations. The Turks know, and the Paris delegates knew, that the League of Nations has not forces wherewith to protect anybody.
