Workers Denied Right to Strike.
The soviets have the whip hand Ia
their controversy with the workers;
they are the government and the Red"
army backs their DEGREES. There Is q
final court Of settlement for all dis
agreements between the soviets and
the workers. 1t is the 'wall"-and the
firing squad. The right Of strike Is
denied the workers. Many of those
who have dared to strike have paid
for it with their lives. The workers
are without recourse when commanded
by the soviet. Whether or not they
were the slaves of the machines be-
fore communism came, it Is certain
that they are now the slaves of the
soviets. Even as slaves of the ma
chimes and the capitalists who owned
the machines, they had the right to
strike for their rights. The soviets de-
prived them of this right.

communist soviet workers behaved
themselves. with rare exceptions, in a
disgusting manner. Misuse of power
is going on constantly"
The conduct Of the soviet commits
saries is general scandal in Russia.
Their conduct Is described in No. IL,
January 10, 1919. of the "Izevestia" Of
the provincial soviets: 1.-THE commits
saries were going through the Tar
itzin county in sumptuous carriages,
driven by three and often by six
horses. A great array of adjutants
and large suite accompanied these
commissaries, and an imposing num-
Der of trunks followed along. They
made exorbitant demands upon the
toiling population, coupled with as
saults and brutality; their way of
squandering money right and left is
particularly characteristic. In SOME
houses the commissaries gambled away
and spent on intoxicants large sums.
The Woodworking population looked
upon these orgies as complete democrat.

GEORGE w. HARBEN
 LAID AT REST SUNDAY

1 GeOrgG w. HarDen WHO OleO
 suddenly last week Tuesday, of
 heart failure, was laid at rest
 in the Masonic cemetery at
 Fla gstaf, Sunday afternoon,
 April 30. The funeral service
 was held at the Federated
 church and was conducted by the Masonic lodge assisted by the National Guard. A large number of people attended the service attesting to the warm affection which all felt for the big hearted man who had gone to that other land from which none return.
 Another token of the way in which peoples hearts had been touched by the sad passing of MT. Harben, was the floral of ferings. These were many and beautiful an especially beautiful wreath coming from MT. Harben's friends in Will Hams. While George had been a resident of other cities for the past seven years yet Williams had continued to look upon him as one of her sons and his death was a deeply felt here as tho he had been a resident of this town and not of Fla gStaH when he answered his last call.
 MT. Harben left a wife and little baby to mourn for the father who cannot return to them. He is survived also by his parents, four sisters and two brothers. His parents are MT. and Mrs. J. J. Harben, of Cummings, Ga. The sisters are Mrs. M. H. Martin, Bluff dale, Tex, Mrs. S. s. Kay, Suwanee, Ga.; Mrs. w. J. Dar- nell, Cummings, Ga.; and Mrs M. L. Andrews, Atlanta Ga. The brothers are c. E. Harben, Ga, and Nat J. Harben who is attending the Univer- sity at Athens, Ga.
 MT. Nat Harbin reached Flag staff Sunday morning in time to the funeral services of his brother.

IS THIS FAIR, OR RIGHT?

On Tuesday evening, May 2, 1922, l, together with my sister in- law. attended the Cha utau- qua entertainment, at Williams. as we had done before, to- gether. had previously pur- chased and paid for two season tickets, the same as others buy ing such tickets. We entered the hall this evening, and took the same seats therein that we had occupied upon previous evenings, at these entertain n,ents. After we had been so seated this night, as before. for over forty minutes, and having gone early so as to get satisfac- tory seats, the apparent usher, and who was acting as such and who had failed to advise us that these seats or any seats had ever been reserved-if any ever had been-came to us and made US get cut of these seats, Tn the presence of tic then fill ed house with people, and ordered us to take seats away in the rear of the house, at a place where we could neither see or hear what was being shown. We of course refused to take such seats, as they were entirely unsatisfactory to us, and we had gone early so as to get good seats. We both felt deeply humiliated, and left the hall. and returned the tickets, as if we were to be treated in this manner, and our money was not as good as that of any other person who had bought tickets, and could not have as good seats as they, we felt that we were not welcome, and that we had no further use for the tickets, or for the entertain ments. Is this the way that 1 any one should be treated at public entertainment, after i having purchased tickets in | good faith, and desiring treat ! ment fair to all? We want l the public to know just how | we were treated. and we ask you how you would like such | treatment in a public place.

CLEAN UP DAY MAY sthe
May Sth will be clear

May Sth will be cleanup day in Williams, and the work will continue as many more days as are necessary to rid the town of tin cans and rubbish. A few simple rules have been made which the public is asked to ob-' serve. Careful compliance with these rules will greatly fla cilitate the work and will make the work of the team in gather ing the rubbish, much less ex pensive to the city tax payers
 1. Gather all cans and rub bish on the premises and place in light boxes or barrels in the back alley of your lot. The containers must be light enough so that the street workers may easily dump the same into the wagon.
 2. All retainers will be left by the teamster for further use in storing rubbish or cans.
 3. Yard cleaning must be pushed in order to have all trash ready when the teamster comes around on Monday.
 Do your part. See that your own yard is clean. It will be a bost for the town and will add to your own enjoyment of your yard and home. Don't delay be ready when the team comes

The base ball season isa Will

 vest, and jauntly swinging

 Juan Avalos Brass Band of
 thirty pieces down Bill Will
 Hams Avenue, into Second
 street, across the rail road
 tracks and into Cureton Park,
 winding up in front of the

 to overflowing with wildly
 cheering citizens of Williams
 and Ash Fork. Immediately
 behind the band were the uni formed players of the Williams
 and Ash Fork teams, followed
 by automobiles, citizens on
 horse back, on foot, and even in
 buggies of ancient vintage.
 For thirty minutes before the game the Avalos Band enter tajned the vast throng with everything in music, from
 Beautiful Ohio" to the ever popular ''La Paloma". This feature of the days entertaiH ment was most highly appre- ciated by all present, and noth- ing but praise could be heard on all sides for Professor Ava los, Manager Gonzales, and the Band. Patrons of base ball have a surprise in store, for a. great improvement is contem- plated at the Park-one pos sibly not possessed by any other, base ball park in Afizona.
 So far as@'the game is con- cerned, it is a little too early in the season for good ball. It was the first game of the seas on for both teams, and both showed lack of practice and teamwork. Still there were flashes of good work by both sides, which gave an in of what may later be expected. Manager Shaul re- tired early in the game to give Raymond Rupe a chance to gain experience in real game; did likewise at sec ond with young Alvarez. Both made good.
 The game was featured by heavy hitting upon the part of the Williams team, eighteen hits having been made, upon which eighteen runs were SCOT ed. "O1d Reliable" Harry oelman came through with his, lsual home-run-a hard hit oa1 which got away from an Ash Fork player and went to he rocks between left and cen ,er; while Collins for Ash Fork also hit a hard, high fly to aupe, which got away from him md went almost to the fence.
