KEEPING WORKMEN IN THE
MINES

Despite low markets on copper and
zinc the general mining situation has
a good outlook for coming year.
Increases in the number of men
employed at reduction works of Ana
conda Copper Mining Company mace
necessary by increased production of
ore from Butte mines, has brought the
payroll of the company to the high
est point reached since the end of the
war;
Total payroll of the Butte camp at
present is about $4,000 day.
Just now copper productio n at
Butte mines is 78 per cent of nor
NAL figure of 3OO,OOO,OOO pounds an
nually, and zinc production is placed
at normal, or at rate of 100,000,000
pounds annually.
Here in Arizona where more cop
per is prodcced than i n any other
state, operators are hopeful, and some
of the mines are increasing capacity.
This is true at Ajo and Morenci.
The great Warren district in Co
chise county has some new properties
just entering the field of production
while all the older workings continue
at a uniform Messenger.

STATE HISTORIANS FIRST VISIT
TO TUCSON

Major Geo. H. Kelly, state historian,
was in Tucson late last week en-
route to Phoenix from his home in
Douglas. While here he held a CON
ference with Leo Goldsmith president
OF the Arizona Pioneers Historical So
ciety, on matters pertaining to the
proposed building of Pioneers Mem
orial building in this city to house the
relics and rare historical data gath
cred by the society since it's organi-
Ia ion. Fifteen thousand dollars
have already been pledged to this
building fund and a committee has
been appointed to continue solicita-
tons from those who have been ex-
traordinarily prosperous in this state
IS result of the efforts of the ,Ari-
Zona pioneers who discovered and
made known the opportunities for
mining, agricultural and other indus
trial developments in Arizona and
also the opportunities here for COM
mercial enterprises
During his visit to Tucson, Major
Kelly called on Mrs. L. c. Hughes,
wife of one of the ex-governors of
the old territory, and her daughter,
Mrs. Woodward now in Tucson with
her mother, who has been quite ill
recently.
Concerning this visit, Major Kelly
said: when l arrived in Arizona
thirty-six years ago l was first en-
ployed as printer in the Arizona
Daily Star, then owned by L. C.
Hughes. There was not much busi-
ness for the newspapers in those days
and none in Arizona were preten-
tious. Both the Star and Citizen,
however, in that early day, carried
the Associated Press reports in alb
breviated form.
IL. c. Hughes was a man filled
with confidence in Arizona and Tue
son. In those days Mr.. Hughes was
editor. Mrs. Hughes kept the books
and the newspaper mechanical force
consisted of two printers and a Mex
ican boy who ran the newspaper press
and made up the mail One or two
Mexican boys sold the morning p,.-
pers to those who had fingered late
at the gambling halls and to the bar
keepers in the saloons.
Mrs. Hughes taught the first
American school in Tucson and in
the early days, she and her husband
entertained such men as General
Crook and General Mills, success
sively in command of the Arizona
military department
Mrs. Frances Willard was also en-
tertained in the Hughes home when
she came to Tucson to organize the
first Woman's Temperance Union in
Arizona. The first American flag
ever hoisted in the block was hoisted
in the corner of the block now owned
by Mrs. Hughes and an old wall and
fort was on the plot when it was pur-
chased by Mr. Hughes.
Mrs Woodward, oldest child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes, now with her
mother, was, with her brother, the
late Hon. John T. Hughes, educated
in Pennsylvania. She married Prof
essor Woodward when he was con-
nected with the Arizona University
and afterwards the Woodwards went
away to California. Professor Wood
ward is now with the Iowa State Uni
versity."
Major Kelly declared that both his
visit to Goldsmith and with Mrs. L.
c. Hughes had served to revive mem
Ories of the days when he first knew

 "'G) And for the full discharging | of the fine we pledge, under lien both general and individual, all our propert, present and future of every kind and sort
 And when as to all things above written the question was put to us by your excellency, we gave our assent to this agreement and declaration under oath on the day and in the consulship above written"
 It will be seen that this Is a purely union shop agreement, for while the union binds itself to provide that its members will finish a job once they have begun 1t, 1t also provides that the work will be done exclusively by mem bers of the union who are to furnish the men who do the work.
 From the substance of this agree ment 1t would seem that there had been numerous strikes in the building trades, and that individual building tradesmen, had quit one job to go to another so frequently as to seriously interrupt building operations. The agreement was evidently entered into  for the purpose of preventing interrup- tions, the building contractors agree ing to pay the union scale promptly, and to employ none but members of the union, the members of the union III turn agreeing to complete all jobs once they were undertaken.
 Evidently some building trades prob lens and conditions 1,500 years ago were not much different from what they are today. As a result of Mr. Bucklers' work as an archaeologist, trade unionists have had the curtain which hides the past lifted sufficiently to see condition 1,500 years ago where building trades were not thor oughly- organized, but established their terms of employment and the relation ship of wage earners to employer through trade agreements.

WALL STREET PLAN
 CREATES 4 SUPER
 RAILWAY SYSTEMS
Upsets Tentative Consolidation Pro gram of the I. C. C.; How the
 sScheme Works Out.

Wall Street IS determined to con- solidate it's railroads in its own way. This Is the interpretation ot the con solidation plan tentatively put before the Interstate Commerce Commission by President Crowley ot the New York Central, Daniel Willard of the B. & O., Samuel Req of the Pennsylvania, and the two Van Sweringen brothers, rep resenting their super Nickel Plate sys- tenn. President Coolidge, in his last ad- dress in opposition to government own ership of the roads, made 1t clear that he was willing to give the railroad man agers a free hand. The ''adninistra- tion" members of the commission, and they constitute majority, are pre- pared to follow this lead.
 The scheme, which completely cuts across the plan originally drawn up by the I. C. C. at much labor and expense, provides for the ama1gamation of the eastern roads-outsid New England into four great groups, built about four railroads.
 The I. C. C. scheme provides for nine groups.
 Group Plan of Railroads Under the railroads plan consolida- ton will work out like this:
 The New York Central will absorb the Lehigh, Buffalo, Rochester & 1 Pittsburgh, and the Ontario & West 1 ern.
 The Baltimore & Ohio is to take over the Reading, the Central of New ITersey, the Ann Arbor, the Chicago, Indianapolis & Western, and the Western Maryland.
 The Nickel Plate will absorb the Erie, Chesapeake & Ohio, Pere Mar quette, Hooking Valley, Virginian, Lackawanna, and the Detroit & Toledo Shore Line
 The Pennsylvania will absorb the Norfolk & Western, Grand Trunk Western and the Chicago & Alton from St. Louis to Chicago. 1 The tentative scheme drawn up by the commission in accordance with section 5 of the Cummins- -Esch act provides that the following nine rail- roads shall serve as basis for the amalgamation of the eastern roads: l 1. New York Central 2. Pennsylvania
 }. Baltimore & Ohio.
 A. Erie \

 (Mr. Richberg has prepared the fol- lowing comment on the Supreme Court decision giving strikers the right to jury trial for alleged violation of in functions. MT. Richberg argued the case as leading counsel MT. Richberg' s comment was prepared especially for International Labor News Service and for this newspaper)
 The Supreme Court of the United States has handed down decision ln the case of Michaelson, ct al, vs. United States, sustaining the right ot railway employees to trial by jury un- der the terms of the Clayton act when charged with contempt for the viola ton of an injunction. The court held the provision of the Clayton act for trial by jury in contempt cases to be constitutional, thus reversing the Cir cult Court of Appeals for the 7th Cir cult which held this part of the Clayton act unconstitutional This is decision of far reaching importance. It has been repeatedly held by the higher courts that the power to punish for contempt IS an inherent judicial power" with which there can be no interference by the legislative power. Again this doc Urine we made three principal conten- tions in the Michaelson case.
 First: By historical survey going back to the earliest recorded English cases we showed that up to the time 0 fthe adoption of the -A1perican Com stitution contempts committed outside of the presence of the court were uni formly tried by jury. x.
 Second: That the court empow- cred to punish for contempt might con- sist of a judge and jury as we'll as a judge alone.
 Third: That the Inferior Federal Courts are mere creatures of congress

EQUIPMENT REPAIR PROGRAM ON [. N. R.
 IS BEING HELD UP
Unemployment in Canada Gets More Serious; Provinces Slow
 to Cooperate.

Ottawa, Ontario, Nov 8-The Do minion government, according to Hon. George P Graham, minister of railways and canals, has not yet extended authority to the management of the Canadian National Railways to proceed with the remodeling of equipment pro- gram, as requested by the railway shopmen.
 "As a matter of fact" said the min ister. ''the request has been referred to the management of the road who has absolute authority in the natter
 There is more equipment at the present time," he continued, that the management knows what to do with Equipment is piled up on sidings all over the country and complaints are being made everywhere-and justly so owing to the lack of traffic. It IS an embarrassing situation but we hope it will soon buck up," concluded the minister.
 Provinces Slow to Act.
 Some of the provinces are very pro nounced in their opposition to the es- tab1srment of provincial employment service councils, according to the min ister of labor, Hon. James Murdock-
 Just which provinces are opposed to the establishment of councils was not stated but while in Toronto last week the provincial minister of labor, Hon. Dr. Forbes Godfrey. intimated that he was favorable to the re-establishment of the Ontario employment service council.

DECISION MARKS TURN IN
 TIDE OF COURT TYRANNY

sional legislation and Congress could require the tria 1of contempts by a jury in the Federal Courts. Opposing counsel took the position that the power of the court to enforce injunctions would be destroyed II trial by jury was required, and that the Clayton act was unconstitutional as an interference with the judicial power which the Constitution reposed in the courts.
 There is no question but that the result of this decision will be to dimin- ish the abuses of injunctions issued out of the Federal Courts in labor dis putes.
 The court also held that employees on strike are still "emp1oyes" within the meaning of the Clayton acs.
 The power in a single judge to make new law with the issuance of every in junction and then to enforce that law according to his individual judgment by fine and imprisonment to practically unlimited extent, has been too irIe- sponsible not to be abused. The ob- iections of organized labor to such ex- traordinary power have been based up on the greatest legal precedents. Even Blackstone, the most conservative Of legal authorities, has stated that vixen the making and enforcing of laws is vested i'll one and the same man there can be no public liberty
 I am, of course, highly pleased with the decision of the court, not merely because argued the case i'll the Su- preme Court but because 1 believe It marks the turn of the tide in the in creasing assumption of dangerous powers by the courts i'll that the pow CT of the legislature to check excesses of judicial power is here sustained. Particularly is this important in the case of the lower Federal Courts where the judges are appointed for life and not accountable at regular intervals to the electorate for the manner in which they fulfill their responsibilities

 Door Is Open for Deals.
 It is known that the surprising sue cess of the Southern Pacific in getting its merger with the Fl Paso okayed by the commission, despite the protest of Commissioner Eastman, has convinced Wall Street that the door is open for further deals along the same lines.
 The Cummins- Esch act states that no two carriers are allowed to consolidate unless their consolidation Is in harmony with the general plan drawn up by the commission under section 5.
 Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific, who was in Washinfton for several days with half his railroads clerical staff, managed to convince a majority of the commissioners that 1t was not a consolidation but only the acquisi- ton of 100 per cent of Fl Paso shares b ythe Southern Pacific It was on this fiction that he won out.
 Commissioner Eastman Dissents
 Commissioner Eastman, dissenting ol, as ridiculous.
 "The two systems will, to all intents and purposes be fused," he declared.
 'In my opinion, it was not the intent fusing of railroads in this irretrievabie fashion prior to the adoption of our consolidation plan, and the action of the majority in this case is contrary to law"
 It is noticeable that inspired articles are now appearing i'll the press com menting upon the ease with which this fusion was put through.
 I. C. C. Plan Is Dumped"
 The Van Sweringen fusion is another case in point. This fusion cuts clean across the tentative plans drawn up by the commission

The northwestern bulletin-appeal., 1924-10-18

Clifford L. Hilton, who is running
for reelection as attorney general of
the state on the Republican ticket, is
basing his campaign entirely upon his
record in Office. Il
During his term as chief law officer
of the state he has made and saved
millions of dollars for the people of
Minnesota through his decisions in
regard to Pittsburgh Plus, the Ton
mage Tax Case, and the North Dako-
ta-Minnesota Flowage case.
In the Pittsburgh Plus case, the
users of steel in Minnesota were saw
ed more than $30,000,000 annually,
and this saving indirectly affects ev-
cry citizen in the state through the
lowering of prices on staple commodi-
ties. Mr.. Hilton prosecuted this case
before the Federal Trade Commission
and as a result the commission order
ed the steel companies in Minnesota
be forbidden to charge the Pittsburgh
price for steel plus the freight rate
to this state whether ii was manu-
factured in the state or not. Prior
to the ruling every ton of steel man
ufactured in Minnesota was priced
according to the Pittsburgh stand
ard plus the freight rate between that
city and this state.
In 1923. Mr.. Hilton was response
BILE for the addition of nearly $1,000
600 to the state treasury through the
collection of the tonnage tax on iron
ore, a law which he drafted and
played large part in having passed.
This $6.O00.000 was deducted from
the general tax budget for 1924, saw
ing that amount for the taxpayers.
At present there are 100 important
cases pending in the attorney gener-
ais department, which Mr.. Hilton is
preparing and which will come up in
court the early part Of 1925. II re-
elected Mr.. Hilton says that he will
be able to go on with his plans for
these cases. Republican leaders in the
state say that If another man goes
into the attorney generals office, the
taxpayers will lose much of the
money that will be earned for the
state through these pending cases.
