TIL: WINSLOW
MAIL SOLD TO
GIRAC| BROS,
OF TOMBSTONE

This issue of the Winslow Mail
will be the last published under the
present ownership and manage
ment, the Mail Publishing company
having been sold to the Giragi
brothers, of Tombstone, who will
take active charge tomorrow morn
ing, the first day of the new year.
G. L. Giragi, who will act as editor
and manager, has been in the city
the past week making the acquaint-
ance of residents and business men.
The Giragi brothers, G. L., C. p.
and George, are among the best
known newspaper men in the en-
tire country, having owned and
published the famous Tombstone
Epitaph for number of years,
making it, even though published
in a town not half as large as
Winslow, one of the best weekly
papers in the nation. 1t was ac-
corded a. prize in a recent news
paper contest conducted by the
journalism department of an east
ern university as third-best in
makeup, general style and con-
tent, of many hundred papers sub
mitted.
The Epitaph was founded in 1880
during the hectic days of the min
ing camps early history, and while
the town and industries dwindled
away with the pinching out of the
great veins of ore, The Epitaph
grew in size, popularity and infiu-
ence under the guidance of the
Giragi's. That these able journal
lists, with their long experience in
Arizona, will be able to produce in
Winslow a newspaper which will
attract national attention is assur-
ed. They will retain ownership of
the Epitaph and will operate both
that paper and The Mail, with c.. L.
Giragi in charge here. Mr.. Giragi
returned to Tombstone this morn
ing to make some personal arrange
ments before moving to Winslow
to make his future home He will
return to this city Tuesday.
Sam w. Proctor, who purchased
The Mail three years ago, and who
acted as editor and manager for
year and a half, will remain in
Winslow, where he has made his
home for more than twenty years.
He will give his entire time to the
secretaryship of the United Credi-
tors association in Holbrook, Flag
staff and Winslow For a few
weeks he will maintain offices in
The Mail building.
Charles p Mason, for eighteen
months editor of The Mail, will
leave the latter part of next week
for Gallup, where he has been ap-
pointed secretary of the Inter-Tri-
bal Ceremonial association Mr..
Mason will retain editorship of The
Mail until G. L. Giragi returns to
Winslow next week.
No change will be made in the
force of The Mail for the present
at least, the new owners keeping
Frank Holloway on the Intertype,
Charles Thomas on the presses and
Clifford Plog as apprentice.
The retiring editor and manager
take this occasion to thank the peo-
pie of Winslow for their exceeding
great courtesy of the past three
years, and to congratulate them
upon having had the attention of
such able newspaper men as the
three Giragi's of Tombstone drawn
to this city. 1t is sincerely be-
lieved by the present management
that an era of expansion is just
ahead for this paper, and for the
city, and no finer choice could have
been made of men more fitted to
mould and guide public opinion,
and to assist in the growth of the
city than the new owners of The
Mail.

REVIEWS WORK OF
LABOR DEPARTMENT
FOR PAST TWO YEARS

''Ihe work given the department
to do has been accomplished. we be-
neve, very satisfactory to both
employers and employees. the two
groups with which our work keeps
us in constant touch" declares
Charles Q. Beals, State commission
err of labor and industry, in the re-
port for the two year period ending
June so, 1926 which has recently
been filed with the Governor and
Council
lat times, especially when there
is a controversy between the two,
It is difficult to secure and retain the
confidence of these two groups,
whose interests are so nearly iden-
teal, but whose viewpoints are quite
often so different" continues Mr..
Beals. 1--WE believe, judging from
the use that the citizens of the State
make of the department, that 1t is
becoming of more benefit to our citi-
zens each year.
During the past two years the
department has been without the
services of a deputy commissioner,
and while this has meant that the
present personnel must assume add
ed duties, we have been able to meet
ell the demands for our services.
zone reason that we have been
able to keep up in our work is that
in 1911. when the department was
re-organized and given the work OF
factory inspection, there were more
than 1000 minors employed in the
State under work permits. and 1T
took more than the services of one
person to make the inspections and
Investigations that were necessary
under such conditions. During the
war period this number was greatly
increased, but since that time there
has been a gradual decrease and the
average number so employed during
the year 1925, while schools were in
session. was only 1856 At one time
during that year there were only
11S employed under work permits,
and in April, 1926, the lowest point
In the history of the department
was reached when only IS minors in
the whole State were working under
work permits that excused them
from school attendance. The re-
suit of this decrease has been that
instead Of child labor being the larg-
est single item in our work, It is now
easily taken care Of by the inspec-
tors in connection with their other
duties.
Few Violations Labor Laws
~The other eo.termed labor laws
that are given this department for
enforcement have been In effect Ions
enough for the employers to become
thoroughly familiar with their pro.
visions. and to adapt their business
to comply with the statutes In re-
gard to hours of labor and other
working conditions, and compare.
lively few violations are now found
These laws were enacted to correci
certain conditions, and we feel that
the fact that we are able to do oul
work with a smaller personnel thar
formerly amply proves that the work
given the department to do has been
and is being accomplished.
Employment Conditions Fairly Coco
Employment conditions hav,
been fairly good in the State during
the last two years with the excep

MANY TELEPHONES
ADDED LAST YEAR
Brings Total of Delaware's
Telephones Over $4,000
No 2

According to the annual report of
the Diamond State Telephone Company
just released, 1858 telephones were in
stalled in Delaware during 1925. Dur
ing the same period, 2,56s were dis
connected, leaving a.net growth for the
year of LOIS telephones.
At the end of the year more than
$4,000 telephones were operating in
the State providing avenues of com
munication for the $4,000 local calls
and 4,5OO toll calls that every day were
connected through the switchboards.
Since the telephone is undoubtedly
barometer for business, the realiza-
tion that the yearly total of Della
ware calls apprOximates 100000
local calls and 100000 out-of-town
calls gives a very clear picture of the
volume of Delaware s commercial ac-
tivities.

1t would be physically impossible for
the operators to answer all these calls
