 Tt is the decision of your eommit- te that no unit affiliated with the international union, United Mine Workers of America, can in conform ity with the constitution of our orr ganization, affiliate with the Red International. We would therefore recommend that District No. be rec auired to withdraw their applica- tion for utilization with this organi- zation, and providing they refuse to comply with the decision of the in- ternational executive board on this question and affiliate with the Red International, that the autonomy of District 26 be suspended, the inter- national organization assume control of the government of the affairs of that district, and this status be maintained until it has been fully demonstrated that it is the purpose of the membership of District No. 26 10 comply with this ruling

Opposition to rumored amendment to the proposed bill to establish a court of domestic relations for Jeff ferson county, was voiced by the ex- ecutive board of the Jefferson Coun- ty League of Women Voters. in the following resolutions passed at a meeting of the board Saturday:
 Whereas we, the executive board of the Jefferson County League of Women Voters, have fcarned through newspaper reports from Montgomery that an effort is be- ing made to have the proposed domestic relations court for Jeffer- son county amended so as to provide for two judges instead of for one as originally introduced. and.
 Whereas, after diligent Inquiry into the matter, we are convinced that one judge is all that is wise or necessary,
 Therefore be it resolved by the ex- ecutiye board of the Jefferson Coun- ty League of Women Voters ulat we heartily indorse the domestic rela- tionss court bill as originally drawn, providing for one judge only, and that we, representing the vast ma jority of politically organized women in this county, urge upon the legisla- ture the passage of the bill un- | amended and providing for only one judge.
 Resolved further, that the secre- tary be instructed to write letter to Governor Brandon. urging him, after this bill Is passed. to appoint Judge Murphy who has so long ana so ably served the childhood of this county as juvenile court judge, to the judgeship created by this domestic relations court bill.

BAD MANNERS IN CRITICISM

From "As l Like It. by William
 Lyon Phelps. in Scribner's.
 Bad manners in literary criticism have become quite common and are viewers and critics who cannot manage subtler methods of an- initiation. The bludgeon and the brickbat have taken the place of the rapier. Not only Is this true but many readers look forward with delight to these exhibitions of buffoonery and abuse, their idea of wit being horse play and their notion of dis approval being on the level of kick. This constantly growing method of literary criticism" seems to have been borrowed from the political arena; 1t is analogous to what used to be called Tillmanism. Some of the more aged readers of these pages may remember the time when that aristocratic, courageous, and culti- vated gentleman. Wade Hampton rep resented South Carolina In the United States Senate; he really rep resented her, being typical of the finest type of breeding and manners we associate with the Old South. He was succeeded by a man with pitch fork, who at first shocked but ulti- mately delighted thousands of Ameri- cans Dy dH OI idnKuagG and manners quite otherwise than traditional. At first he seemed out of place; but soon his picturesque habits of speech amused the ground lings to such an extent that Tillman became decidedly popular man not only in the Senate, but throughout the country, and whole school of inn itators sprang up who had all of his grotesqueness with none of hE sin cerity. Coarseness was taken for virility.
 Much of the same change has taken place in what passes for literary criticism; readers demand that it be "snappy." highly -spiced, and as bru- tai as possible. I cannot think that this new method Is any more effec- tive than the old, either in politics or in English composition.

This includes the Rio Puerco and
Zuni Rivers, ChevelOn Forks and all
Tributaries above the diversion dam
at Hardy.
These lands, therefore, would have
the benefit of all of the runoff from
the Little Colorado Valley which can
be used for direct irrigation.
The Importance of this will be bet
ter realized when it is known that
during July, August, and September,
or the latter part of the irrigation
season, they usually have the heaviest
rainfall of the year.
The Spring also furnishes consider
able runoff from melting SHOWS and
occasional rains, which can also be
utilized for irrigation direct.
Some years, it would only be neces-
sary to use of stored waters for a
short period at the beginning of the
irrigation season, during May, June,
and the first part of July. This
would give an opportunity for the
storage to accumulate during the
years when they have more than the
normal rainfall

Construction OF Unit No. 1


This unit will require the building
of two canals, also diversion dam
in the Little Colorado River.
One of the canals, the "Winslow
South Side Canal, would be con-
structed on the south side of the river
This would serve the town of Win
slow and pass above the round house,
engine house, coal chute, etc, of the
Santa Fe Railroad Company, about
one and one half miles west of Win
slow. This canal also would serve
10000 acres of land lying directly
north and west of Winslow along the
Little Colorado River.
Another canal, the WinslOw North
Side low Line" would be constructed
north and east of the river with
carrying capacity of 5000 second
feet, decreasing in size to correspond
with the requirements of the area
served. This canal would be so miles
in length and would serve $4,000
acres, lying adjacent and parallel to
the river on the east and north sides
The lands vary in width from one to
five miles, and have light slopes that
can be irrigated at a minimum cost.

better established and if it is found
after the last unit is completed that
there still is an excess of runOff, an
other reservoir can be provided at a
reasonable cost.
There are numerous her good
reservoir sites along the Little Colo
RADIO River that can be utilized for
storage
Navajo Dam
The Navajo Dam could be located
in solid rock canyon near Woodruff.
The dimensions are as follows: $50
feet high, type-loose rock fill, with 10
feet crown and 1 to 11a slope, faced
with earth, 10 feet crown and to l
slope, which gives total width of
20 feet Earth face to have rock
riprap l foot thick
A small diversion dam about 20
feet in height has been constructed
about mile below this point and is
used by the ranchers in the vicinity
of Woodruff as a means of dividing
the water into their laterals. This
has caused a deposit of silt at the
Navajo site of, perhaps, 20 feet in
depth Inquiries among the older
inhabitants indicate that the depth Of
