New Castle lis one of the places
where this concentration and elimina-
ton is being rapidly carried out. One
of their blast furnaces here is already
down and dismantled and at least
two other are marked to go the same
way in the near future. These fur
naces, the pride of the capitalists a
few years ago, are now slated for the
Junk heap.
New and more up to the minute
heating systems are being introduced
by the efficiency engineers of the
company. One such which has Just
been put in at the local steel mill
has displaced two-thirds Of the fire.
men at the plant. Instead of the 270
men who were employed on the three
turns, they now have the work done
by 80 men, thus saving the labor of
$50 firemen. Al"en
The patent doubler has been intro
duced into the tin mills here and they
are being handled by boys of fifteen
and sixteen, who are fast displacing
the higher priced men. Some idea of
the number of men displaced may be
cleaned from the fact that New Castle
has at the present time some 800
houses not tenanted. The. workers
who formerly lived in them have had
to seek work elsewhere 00NQ,
In the tin coating plants they have
introduced the latest machines which
make it possible for one. man to do
the work formerly done by FIVE. This
work is largely done by the colored
and the foreign-born workers and
they have been especially hard hit.

destroyed by the earthquake on June
goth, John M. Cooper of Los Angeles
is excavating for a two story store
and Office building.
This architect and contractor is
we'll known In Los Angeles because
Of his refusal to pay anything like
the union scale or give his men union

in that city have received rough treat
ment from him.
Indications are he is trying to do
his stuff" in Santa Barbara also. His
men work any and all hours it seems.
AS yet there have not been many car
penters employed on the job, but the
few who have worked for him have
received So per day of eight hours
and worked Saturday afternoon for
straight times The carpenters scale
is SO for eight bours. Saturday after
noon work is strongly discouraged by
Local 1862. See, 2 of the trade rules

urday afternoon between the hours
of 1900 m. anhs6:O0 p. M, except to

hours.

Arizona state miner., 1925-10-24

Of us would be more willing to live
and let live-be our brothers keeper,
so to speak.
Editor Watson of the Wickenburg
Miner went after such an ill-advised
merchants association in his home
town three years ago and made it
very costly to few of them. BY the
aid of Attorney Weldon J. Bailey of
Phoenix he effected a settlement that
cost leading merchant $500 to
compromise and in the case of the
Wickenburg banker, Watson got judg-
ment and sold the bankers property
and home at sheriff's sale to satisfy
the judgment.
But minds that are small enough
to suggest a boycott can't realize
the above sentiments They are like
profiteer violators, whose only in
stinct is to get the money, no matter
what degradation or havoc they may
create for the other fellows.
