REPUBLICANS GAIN THREE
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE

While almost the entire democratic
state ticket was being elected and re-
elected to office, the various counties
in last Tuesdays balloting were
filling legislative seats in all but elev-
en- instances with democrats, it has
developed on the face of unofficial re-
turns. The 1927 session of the senate
will see two republicans on the floor
and of the house of represe sentatives,
nine republicans.
The complexion of the senate
therefore, remains unchanged from
the 1926 session, whereas the repub-
licans managed gain of three mem
berships in the house. OF the 81
members of the lower house, five
were elected by authorization of the
legislature when it passed the reap
portionment act. Under this act, CO.
conino, Pima and Navajo counties
were allotted one more house mem
Der, while Maricopa got two more.
Yavapai was entitled to another seat,
but failed to take the proper meas
ures to obtain it.

The Flagstaff boys played well to-
gether and there were no outstanding
players. The entire backfield-the
Prochnow brothers, Cameron and
June-were able to carry the ball for
good gains and their interference was
the best shown this season. Beard
and Caffey were on the receiving
end of a nice 25-yard pass from G..
Prochnow Corbett, Wallace, Ander-
son, Dunman and Brandes opened
holes for the backfield and consist
emily broke up many Kingman plays
before they could get under way.
Shull and Boneli were outstanding
Kingman players.
But for the numerous penalties the
Flagstaff boys would have undoubt-
edly rolled up a greater score. They
were penalized total of about 80
yards against five for the Miners.

FLAGSTAFF HIGH DOWNED
KINGMAN HIGH 7 TO SIX

Flagstaff High football team beat
the Kingman Miners in hard fought
game at Kingman last Saturday, TO.
Flagstaff had the advantage dur
ing most of the game and gained
consistently on end runs and off
tackle plays but the officials impos-
ed so many penalties that their gains
were often net loss. Kingman made
several good gains through the line
and a 28-yard run by Shull late IN
the third quarter put them in posi-
ton to score the touchdown.
Early in the first period, Capt.
Charlie Prochnow trotted around left
end for a touchdown but the head
linesman ruled that he had stepped
out of bounds and the ball was
brought back to the 25-yard line.
Several plays later he again crossed
the goal line and was hanging onto
the goal post, but for some unknown
reason the score was not allowed
Just as the period ended, Cameron
hit the line so effectively that there
was little doubt about it being a
touchdown. Prochnow drop-kicked
for the extra point, which was the
deciding factor in the victory.
In the second and third quarters
the teams seemed to be about even
and both resorted to kicking, with
Flagstaff having a slight edge. Af-
ter a series of line plunges and sew
eral penalties against Flagstaff,
Kingman pushed over its touchdown.
The attempted try for point by drop
kick was smothered by the entire
Flagstaff line. With five minutes
left to play Flagstaff started an Of
fensive which carried the ball to the
Miners 15-yard line where they were
held for downs and Cameron tried
a field goal which went wide. King
man kicked out and Flagstaff had
started another march for the goal
when the final gun ended the game.

LONDON, April pa general strike
Of all British labor has been recon-
mended by the executive council Of
the British Trade Union Congress in
the event no settlement Is reached In
the negotiations between the mine
owners and the mine workers by to.
night.
All the officials of the congress met
in London this morning and came to
this decision. The Trade Union Con-
gress represents more than 100000
organized workers in Great Britain.
The action was taken in view of the
insistence of the coal owners repre-
sentatives to cut wages and abandon
national for district agreements with
the coal miners beginning tomorrow.
No Settlement.
The Joint negotiations conference
adjourned this afternoon unable to
make any advance towards settle
ment. The miners reiterated their re-
fusal to accept single penny reduc-
ton, longer hours or district agree
ments. The operators and miners are
in conference among themselves with
the announced intention of attempt
ing to reach a basis for settlement,
but with both sides standing pat on
the major points of disagreement and
with the government unable to offer
any tangible proposals there is little
chance to avert the conflict.
Miners strengthened.
The action of the national trade
union executive in pledging the undi-
vided support of the whole labor
movement to the cause of the miners
has strengthened the latter's posi-
ton immensely and caused a great I'M
easiness in government circles. This
action of the T. U. G. follows mes
sage of international support to the
miners received yesterday by A. j.
Cook, secretary of the Miners Fed
Grafton from Edo Fimmen, secretary
of the International Transport Work
ers Federation from Amsterdam.
FRIDAY ne Day.
The struggle will be precipitated by
the enforcement of the lockout no
tees which have been posted at the
mines by the operators announcing the
end of the agreement, on Friday. All
the mine district organizations have
endorsed the stand of the union heads
conducting the negotiations and prep
arations are going forward thruout the
mine sections for stoppage.
Industrial Alliance.
The action of the executive of the
Trade Union Congress, according to
the rules of the congress. will have
to be endorsed by the affiliated unions
before a general strike order can be
put into effect. But sentiment in all
the large unions has already crystal
lized on the question of support to the
miners by the formation of an Indus
trial Alliance with which the largest
unions in Britain, totaling more than
100000 members have aligned them
selves.

to get shorter work week and higher
wage scales. over 1000 inside iron
and bronze workers from non-union
shops have come out. Active picket
ing of all shops continues, says Union
Secretary A. Resented, despite the
attempt Of one employer to get an
injunction.
The court order would have banned
picketing of other struck shops in the
vicinity of the one applying. The
union succeeded in having the tenn
porary order modified by striking out
the vicinity phrase.
over so strikers have been arrested
on picket duty and held for charges
Of disorderly conduct, assault, etc.
None has been given less than $500
bail All sentences are being appealed
by the union, however. In one day
nearly 80 pickets were taken in by
the police: ~ in Brooklyn, where
most of the nOn-union shops are; 10
in Manhattan, and in the Bronx.
One picket was accidentally killed by
an auto truck which swung on him as
he crossed the street.
