THROWING SNAKES INTO
AUTOS DANGEROUS SPORT

Throwing bull snakes onto the laps
Of passing motorists is reported to the
sheriff's office to be the latest night
time sport of Phoenix youths.
Numerous motorists reported that a
group of boys standing on the bridge
which crosses the Arizona canal at
the end of North Seventh street, Phoe-
nix, tossed a large and live bull snake
into each passing automobile. The
snake was secured by a rope and
yanked out of the car a moment after
it had been thrown.
The sudden appearance of large
snake on their laps caused severe
fright to the motorists, and especially
to the women in the cars, it was re-
ported.
Sheriff's officers are investigating
the reports.

non-striking drivers are concerned,
and Chauffeurs' Local No. 113, newly
organized as a result of the strike,
has consistently urged its men to con-
duct themselves in an orderly manner.
All of the taxicab companies of the
city except the Yellow Cab Company,
have agreed to the terms of the men.
The Yellow employs about half of the
total.
Starvation wages, running as low
as 50 for weeks work, is given as
the cause of the strike, in which the
men are demanding maximum of
$27.50 week for men of two years
experience, and minimum of $22.50
for men of less than one years ex-
perience.
The Central Trades and Labor
Council has indorsed the strike and
voted to give the members of the new

conference board of the A. F. of L.,
an organization which supplements
the activities of the central body.

FOUND GUILTY
OF Fraud ArmOurs Must
Pay $3,0OO,OOO Damages

Chicago.-The Armour Grain Com
pany, subsidiary of Armour & Co.,
meat packers, was found guilty of
fraud and conspiracy against the
Farmers Cooperative Grain Market
ing Corporation by Edward E. Brown,
banker, who sat as arbitrator in the
dispute. The grain company was
ordered to pay $3,OO0,OOO. 1t is said
that j. Ogden Armour and other men,
bers of that family are the principal
stockholders in the grain company.
The Armours and others organized
the cooperative organization to take
control Of the Chicago grain elevators
out of the hands Of private owners
and put the farmers in direct control
The loss the first year was $2,4OO,-
900, and the corporation went bank
rupt and was dissolved. The venture
was described as the greatest coop
erative project ever launched "by
American farmers"
The arbitrator found that the rec
ords of the Armour-owned elevators
were juggled to show more grain than
they contained. When these elevators
were turned over to the cooperative
corporations the Armours were cred
tied with wheat that did not exist.
The arbitrator also stated that
samples of wheat taken from the Ar
mour elevators by samplers of the
Chicago board of trade and left in
the testing room of the elevator over
night were changed so that samples
of a better grade of wheat would be
shown. 1t was agreed that the wheat
held by the Armour Wheat Company
would be taken over by the co-opera-
tive corporation on the basis of the
samples.

WAGE PROBE
Reveals Low Rate Is The
Rule

Chicago. - Earnings of unskilled
and semi-skilled workers in this city
range from $500 year to $4,000,
with the average less than $500,
according to survey made by Miss
Leila Houghteling. The result>of the
study will be printed in the Social
Service Review, published by the
University Of Chicago graduate school
of social service administration.
The investigation included 467 fam
lilies. In but SO of these families was
the income of the chief wage Garner
larger than the budget which had
been decided upon as providing a fair
living for family in moderate cir
cumstances. This amounted to 1875
per cent of the whole. In 2O4 famil-
les, or CTS per cent, earnings were
below the budget.

CHEAP LABOR
And Longer Hours Not The
Remedy for Textile Ills

Worcester, Mass.-"It is impossible
for human effort to keep pace with
capital imitation that demands profits
on watered stock" declared Francis T.
German, organizer for the United
Textile Workers, in protesting at a
mass meeting against repeating the
women's 48-hour law
The repeal is urged by textile inter-
ests, who insist that Massachusetts
can not compete with the long hour
system of Southern mills.
During the war, and after the war,
textile machinery has been speeded up
to secure mass production" said Mr..
German. with machinery outworn
from this tremendous pace, mills are
attempting to maintain the wartime
pace and to earn dividends with run
down plants. This is impossible.
Cheap labor and longer hours are not
the remedy for this illogical condi-
tion. Seventy-two looms and $19 a
week should answer the plea for cheap
labor"
The speaker said that the effect of
company insurance and welfare plans
is to blind workers to an insufficient
wage. He said it would be cheaper
for the employe to buy his own in
surance.
Other speakers said that when tex
tile employers refer to deplorable con-
ditions in their industry they make
no mention of old production meth
DDS, faulty equipment, poor manage
ment, old-fashioned ideas and lack
of attention to new processes.

Des Moines, Iowa.-The prison la

board opposes the law, and with this

to organized labor and sympathizers
to defend the law by appealing to

Rejects Sign Inspector Post;
Has No Experience.

Robert F. McNay, former Khan
titan, named chief sign inspector in
the building department, Oct. 6, to-
day announced he would not accept
the post. 4
McNay was named city garage
superintendent and three days later
shifted to the building department
post in general city hall shake-up.
The sign job pays $1,000, while the
garage post salary is $4,000.
IT was glad to accept the posi-
ton as garage superintendent, be-
cause I had confidence in my ex-
perience and ability to fill that posi-
ton with credit to myself, the adj
ministration, and with service tt
the public, having followed the
garage and automobile business fol
long period of years." wrote Nc
Nay to the board of safety.

however, am forced to decline the
appointment of your honorable
board, because I believe that public
officials still should be chosen in &C
cordance with their ability to fill the
position.
Never having had any experience
in inspecting signs, and I am not g
registered engineer, I therefore fee
that I could not be of any service
to the public or to the administra-
ton in such capacity"

fairs attracts and holds men to the

ing the Man Power of the Church"

the plan might profitably be adopt
ed by Christian churches through
out the country.
The "Husting Hundred" has en-
gagged actively in civic affairs here,
it's most recent action commanding
widespread attention being its sharp
reply to Attorney General Arthur
L. Gilliom's intimation that it was
dominated by, former Klansmen.
CULLEN praised women's devoted
ness to work Of the church and said
"the great majority of men consider
church work beneath the dignity of
their efforts"
CULLEN then related the organiza-
ton of the Englewood mems or
ganization, religious civic in nature,
and defended the right of the men
of the church to concern themselves
as an organization with civic or
political matters. -
Through its flying squadron" the
"Hustling Hundred" has assisted in
organizing some twenty-five similar
organizations throughout the
county, CULLEN said.
After three parallel conferences
this morning, the convention opened
at 9, the Rev. w. r. Walker of Co.
lumbus, Ohio, presiding: The Rev.
Hugh Wayt of Mt. Vernon, Ohio,
in the morning devotions, pleaded for
