INQUIRY TO BE STARTED
INTO ILLEGAL MARRIAGES

louisville, Pa, Jan. 21.-It is
said that at least 100 persons in
this county who believe that they
have been illegally divorced are
going elsewhere to get married
again under the mistaken idea that
they are free to do SO, and an in
vestigation will be started to ascer-
tain just how many have been IL
legally married alrea0y.
Attorneys say that fully 200
divorces granted by the court never
have been lifted from the prothon.
otary's office. The couples affected
thought they were legally separated,
but until the final DEGREES are taken
from the prothonotary these d.
vorces are of no effect. 1t is said
hundreds failed to take this final
step and therefore never have been
legally divorced.
Prothonotary Bostock, when ques-
toned, said there are huge piles
OF divorce DEGREES in his office on
which the court acted years ago,

ORGANIZED LABOR NOTES

Union painters of Cleveland are re-
fusing to use "air brushes" because
the leaden spray is poisonous to the
workers.
A decision at Chicago handed down
by the u. S. Court of Appeals re-
Gently upheld union builders for re-
fusing to work with non-union ma
terials.
DR.. Wiley, national food expert, has
informed President Coolidge that
pure food laws are brazenly violated
and the law is paralyzed by merchan-
disc and food brokers who openly
sell and distribute ready-to-serve foods
that contain poisonous preservatives,
such as benzoate Of soda formalde-
hyde, alum, dioxide sulphur and
bleached flour. Wiley urged Coolidge
to stop it.
There is joy in big business circles
The antitrust law has been made
harmless. The U. S. Supreme court
has pulled the last tooth and nothing
remains but the title to the Sherman
antitrust law, which restricted re-
straint of trade. The court held that
it is not illegal for individuals to
raise prices. 1t must be shown that
defined purpose by conspirators TO
combine for such purpose.
The Standard Oil has started suit
to abolish competition of states and
municipalities in selling oils.
Pres. Green of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor has endorsed Arizona's
proposed compensation law.
Over 100000 of actors back salar-
les was collected for them by the
Actors Equity Association.
The 1O-hour day has been re-estab-

FOUR NEW STATES
REJECT THE PACT
California Conference Effects
Permanent Organization
With Arizona

People of Arizona don't like Herbert
Hoover very well. This was dramat-
ically brought out at the three-day
conference at Los Angeles this week
of four of the states represented Dy
the Colorado compact The result OF
the conference was permanent or
ganization, the affairs of which Will
hereafter be directed by an executive
committee comprising two members
from each of the four states as fol"
lows:
For California: R. w. Pridham and
A. c. Arnon; for Arizona: F. A. REID
and P. w. Vandyke; for Nevada:
Charles P. Squires and Cecil w Creel;,
for Utah: A. F. Jenkins and Franklin
Nibley.
Charles P. Bayer of Los Angeles
was chosen secretary.
Senator Sprague announced that ne
had a telegram from Governor Scrug-
ham of Nevada, saying he would, IN
conformity with a suggestion contain
ed in a resolution adopted by the con-
ference, appoint representatives to at
tend a conference at which another
effort will be made to reach an ac-
cord on the development of the Colo
RADIO river.
Casey Abbot, of Phoenix, speaking
in behalf of Arizona, said he expected
Governor Hunt to act favorably ON the
resolution as his attitude has been
that of trying to promote a settlement
of differences among the lower Colo
RADIO river basin states.
Reid Gains His Point
While the committee was preparing
the resolution which was adopted by
the conference, F. A. Reid, president
of the Salt River Valley Water Users
association, the best paying irrigation
project in the United States, threw
a bomb into the discussions when he
declared that Herbert Hoover is the
last man to whom Arizona would be
willing to leave the ALLEGATION of wa
ter and that Arizona will not ratify
the seven state pact.
ST was much interested in what
Lucius K. Chase said yesterday" M.
Reid began. 81 do not agree with
some things he said. I disagree with
his statement that he believed Ari
zona would be willing to leave alloca-
tion of Colorado river water, between
lower basin states, to Mr.. Hoover.
"He is the last man to whom Ari-
zona would be willing to leave that
ALLEGATION. Some of us believe that
the farmers and stock raisers are
still paying for the mistakes Mr.
Hoover made as food administrator.
81 represent directly the 40 per
cent of the voters of Arizona who live
in the Salt River basin. We object
to the Colorado river compact because
it practically limits development of
Arizona's vast resources"

the widespread failings and crooked.
ness of price-fixing profiteers.
Individual selfishness never accom-
plishes anything of community value.
The city hall, or Office of the Wick
enburg Town Council, will now be
moved to the Mayors building next
to his bank and he will perhaps de-
rive a handsome rental from a per-
manent tenant. Gathered wild flow
ers die very quickly.
Looks like Craig Pottinger has
"come back" and his first issue of
the Nogales International announced
him as the father Of an eight-pound
boy last week.
If the City of Phoenix wants to
buy the street car bankrupts with d
$15O,000 bonded Indebtedness, why
wouldn't it be a good idea to buy
the Central Arizona Light and Power
Company? Phoenix will need the
electric plant to keep up her street
cars.
Harry Sinclair of Teapot Dome no.
toriety was acquitted last week and
the whole band of national explOiters
at Wall Street flocked to his support,
pushing up the price of Sinclair stocks
IA per cent. So also did the Chicago
ghenna bandits when their leader
killed and wounded several police
men. "Birds of feather always flock
to each other"
