Maintained Wage Scale

w. A. Shaeffer, fountain pen
manufacturer, after practicing
the policy in his own business in
the last 20 years, is making a
fighting effort to prevent general
reduction of wages in industry
throughout America.
He maintains that II wages are
not reduced in 1891 the biggest
period Of prosperity the United
States has ever known is ahead.
He believes that 1t will take
much longer for business to
reach the peak il wages are re-
duced now.
First Hand Survey
He has recently returned from
visits throughout industrial cen
terS of Europe, Canada and the
United States and he backs his
statements with first-hand facts.
He says:
Don't cut wages in the
United States during 1881.
"This country has 100000
workers. II at the present
time the unemployed have
mounted up to as high rs S.
100000 and If you cut wages,

J. K. Pierce. 18-year-old bell

released Monday evening from
the Santa Cruz county Jail on his
own recognizance. and permitted
to return to his home in Tucson.
Young Pierce is charged with
involuntary manslauohter, fol
lowing the killing of Emilio Mar
tan and Alfredo Valenzuela on
the Nogales- Tucson highway
Saturday night.
Testimony at the coroner's ia
quest presided over bv Justice
of the Peace Charles E. Hardy,
disclosed that there were no eye
witnesses to the accident beyond
those in toe Pierce car, and all
testified they saw no one ia the
road and that they felt no jar ex
cept that caused when they side
swiped the truck.
Marian and Valenzuela. who
we're killed, we're believed to be
at work replacing rear tire
when Pierce passed. The force
of the sideswipping impact, it is
said, caused a front tire on

any government are representa-.

Nogales has cherished for
many years q wide spread repu.
tation for friendliness, not only
among inhabitants on both sides
of a border line, but in the at.
titude of representatives of the
two governments. Recently
there have been informal charges
that might soil that reputation.
Customs officers have, in some
instances, forgotten their posi-.
tions and have reflected person.
al feelings rather than the spirit
of tolerance and good will that
should be maintained in every
respect.
It too often happens that men
who are given authority. in
whatever guise, lose their senses
of proportions and. become Off.
cious and overbearing. This is
not the attitude for the two peo-
pies represented on either side
Of the border line at Nogales.

ways different from other sister

There is, too, the same standing
invitation to trade in Mexico.
Any customs man who assumes
the authority to set up his own
rules, to employ his own methods
to curb this friendly relationship
is not truly representative of his
government. whether he wear
United States or Mexican un.
iform. There is no excuse for
brusk, harsh treatment at either
gate. There is no reason why
any government agency should
assume an oficious or overbear.
ing attitude in enforcing the law.
Instead Doth government
should demand that their agents
reflect only the most abundant
friendliness through kindly.sym

tionals of the other country.
