BAPTIST REVIVAL
MEETING CLOSED

The First Baptist church and
pastor, ; + Sparks have lust
closed very successful evange-
llstic campaign, assisted by Rev
{. + Frazier and wife of VIII
cox. The Frazier's are, as we
well know, efficient evangelistic
singers, getting and holding the
cooperation of the people. Rev.
Frazier also proved himself
equally efficient in the evange- :
llstic field, bringing great heart
cheering messages to Gods peo-
pie and too, sending the arrow
of conviction into the hearts of
the world.
The church did good work
and results followed. There
were professions of faith, seven
teen as candidates for baptism,
fifteen having already received
baptism, and six coming by let
Ter.
The crowds were the largest
in the history of the church.
The church and pastor wish to
express their thanks to all who
IN any way so ably assisted in
the campaign.

BOULDER DAM CONSUNP-
TON OF COPPER LARGE

According to information re-
ceived by the Arizona Copper
Tariff Board, hugh tonnage OF
copper. estimated at more than
30,OOO,0O0 pounds, is being used
lin the vast projects affiliated
with the construction Of Boulder
Dam. Thus copper, home pro-
duct Of the southwest, will play
an alI-Important part in hydro
electric development through
out that region
An ultimate total of 1888 :
900 pounds Of copper will be re-
quircd in the building Of high
voltage power transmission lines
Already 3,7OoO,OOO pounds
OF copper have been consumed
in building the construction
power system, which includes
$50 miles OF G,0OC and $1,000
volt line. This system will be
in operation only while the pro-
jected aqueduct is under con
struction.
The first development of the
100000 volt transmission line
from Boulder Dam viii require
the use Of 6,7o5, 900 pounds Of
copper while the second develop
ment will consume 5,253,000
pounds. In building the con-
struction power system, the dis
trict has purchased more than
$3.50, 900 worth Of copper and
$500 600 worth of electrical
equipment. which include l22
transformers.
Approximately 1920 miles of
hollow copper conductor weigh
ing 3,454 900 pounds is being
used. The conductor has a di-
ameter Of Ia inches and weighs
l.57 pounds per running foot.
Immense additional quanti-
ties will enter construction Of
two switching stations and a
step-down station on the Bureau
Of Power and Lights line, and
in making electrical equipment
for the Boulder Dam power
plant. About l 100000 pounds
Of copper will be used in erecting
the Boulder Dams large power
plant and switching station.

serves the entire State as Ari-

River. Never before have live
stock men had at their disposal

Borrowers should be fore

SALES OF NON BLUE EAGLE
COPPER is PROHIBITED

The Copper Code Authority
will prohibit the sale Of non
Blue Eagle copper in the domes-
iic market. as far as producers
and custom smeltcrs are con
ccrned. until October lst, ac-
cording TO information received
by the Arizona Copper Tariff
Board The present date Is
August lst. Others are under
stood to be free TO sell such cop
per " they can had q buyer
As a result Of the letter that
II O. King. director of the Code
Authority sent 70 all independ-
ent brass fabrcators, between
80 aud 80 are said 10 have sign
ed temporary agreement TO
buy nothing bot Blue Eagle cop
per as they book new business.
By signing this contract and in
dicatiug that since April 26 they
have boug't nothing tht Blue
Eagle metal. these fabricators
are now entitled TO { certli-
cate that places the Blue Eagle
stamp on all copper they now
carry in stock. Those who
signed the contract represent q
good cross section of the entire
industry including both large
and small fabricators. II is
stated that Mr. King hopes TO
have q permanent agreement
signed with these consumers
before August lst
One Of the things to be de-
cided upon by the Copper Code
Authority Is the quota allot-
mcnts to the custom smelters
for the month Of june. From
well informed sources It's learn
ed that custom smeltcrs have
already been given their sales
preference to the end Of May
1t j. also learned that the
book has been oyersold by
about 10000 tons beyond Au-
gust, so that the entire industry
rs in a good position.
Having this large backlog on
their books, it Is not surprising
that producers and customers
are not concerned over the pres

GENERAL GlASSFORD'S
REPORT SHOCKS CALF

Official connection with raket-
GERS in the melon districts OF
Imperial valley was uncovered
by General p. ID. GlasSford in
his report on the labor troubles
IN that section. General Glass
ford has asked for an inyesti-
CATION by the state attorney
general. Growers repudiate
the statements of Glassford but
nevertheless there Is ground to
believe that racketeers have a
finger in the produce pie. 1t
was reported a few years ago
that Al Capone had a man in
Phoenix looking for a large
acreage OF land with the inten-
ton of establishing a produce
racket here. Just about that
time Capone was jailed and the
depression hit and that halted
the program. The Messenger
gave the matter considerable
publicity at the time. If we dc
not want produce rackets in this
valley we had better pay some
attention to what Glassforo
has reported. --Phaenix Messen-

THE LABOR PROBLEM

It j. impossible 10 enter into
a discussion Of business condi-
tions these days without bring
ing in the omiuus word strike
The labor problem is upper
most in the mind OF every ex-
ecutiyc, even though his bust
ness has not been directly affect
ed, threats Of a general strike
keep him awake nights
1t is an interesting fact that
We hear more OF strikes now
than at any other time since
the great postwar walk-outs,
yet the number Of men involv-
ed in strikes, and the total Of
working hours lost, are about
the same as in the past FIVE or
six years. In other words, so
far as the statistics show, the
strike problem is no more severe
now than 1T was last year or
the year before OF in booming
1928.
However, the statistics don [
tell all In the past, strikes
have occurred because Of dis
agreement over wages and
hours Present strikes are very
different. the strikers, as a mat
ter OF form. make demands for
shorter hours and higher pay,
but those matters are least OF
lit. The real reason behind the
strikes is the drive for closed
shop industry, the unions are
out 10 make American business
100 per cent closed shop, and
/ they mea II business. 1t is both
amusing and important that in
at least one case employers fin
ally agreed to meet the wage
and hour demands of striking
workmen, and were turned
down, because they wouldn't I
consent to the closed shop plan
As for industrial production
there is little to report. There
have been some slight advances
and some slight recessions, anc
they about balance each other
There may be a downward
swing soon, due to summer sea
sonal influences. Government
spending still confuses the pic.
ture, inasmuch as it is impossi
bic to tell how much OF recov-
cry is due to more normal time.
and how much to abnorma
stimulation from distribution
OF public money from Washing
ton.

BROTHERS EXECUTED
AT STATE PRISON
IN FLORENCE ARIz.

AZ - v SioCh JlllS FTluay morn
/ ing, Fred and Manuel Herman
dez met death in the Lethal
Gas Chamber at the state pri-
/ son in Florence, for the Staying
of Charles p. Washburn, aged
prospector near Casa Grande
Is months ago at his desert
home. Their attorney, H. G.
Richardson of Florence, who
did all he could in their behalf,
notified the boys early this
morning that nothing further
could be done for tn I'm,
A note of warning was hand
ed by Manuel, one of the bro
theirs, to Arizona Republic
newspaper men who were pres
ent, which read as follows:
81 am giving this warning to
the outside world, as / sit in my
cell awaiting my turn to come,
and hoping that Jesus Christ,
our Savior, will spare me from
death. Il Manuel, am guilty
of crime, but my brother Fred
is not, but still the laws of
Arizona say we have to pay
with our lives.
Anybody who reads this
warning, please do not drink or
steal or do anything bad. Do
Gods work instead of Satan's
work. am about to meet God
at 5 o'clock this morning with
His word on my lips.
May the son of God guide
you and keep you from sin, so
you will not have to suffer like
my brother, Fred Hernandez.
Be good to your mother sisters,
brothers, but take and make
the Son of God your Saviour
Jesus Christi.
Love him more than any
thing else.
II am only Is years old and
my brother Fred, 10, just boys
who got drunk. Stay away
from liquor and other evil things
and you will be glorifed in the
eyes of God. Do Satan's work
and you are condemned to eter-
nal flames.
please heed his warning and
you will never be sorry. If you
do not you will suffer.
'My parents suffer mere than
| or you ever will. Your moth
er is your best friend on earth
Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
is always your friend. Take
him as your Saviour. Cry out
to him and confess your sin,
and he will forgive you and save
you"
To the crude document, much
of which was misspelled, both
boys had signed their names.
Their attorney, who gave his
permission that the paper go to
newspapermen, had no COM
ment to make.
The youths were scheduled
to remain in their cells virtual
L ly alone until 4 a. m. when they
were joined by the Rev. J. P.
Murphy of Casa Grande, who
walked "the last mile" with
them an hour later.
He also conducted funeral
services at 10 o'clock in Casa
Grande.

Majority Report on C. ". A. Investigation

and the common people have not one
single, solitary representative on the
committee. Your committee believes
that such a committee cannot func-
ton properly and for the best inter-
ests of the people of Silver Bow
county, until the great majority of
the people are given some represen-
%tation, and we, therefore, unqualified
ly recommend that recognized and re-
putable representatives of Labor, who
are Independent of corporation con-
troll, be placed on said administrative
committee and that the working class
of Silver Bow county be given the
majority representation on such board,
and that a copy of this report be for
warded to the Federal Administrator,
the State Administrator and the Gov
ernor of this state, that all the news
papers operating in Silver Bow county
be sent a copy, and be requested to
publish in full, for the benefit of
those people interested in Silver Bow
county.
We submit with this report, a copy
of the list of those employed with
the Civil Works Administration, show
ing whether they were listed as a re-
lief case or not, a copy of a report

getting employment, shall cease to
be used in the administration of a
public work, over which the Anaconda
Company or any other company should
have control, and that those men who
were Disseminated against by failing
to produce a "rustling card" be given
immediate employment under the Civil
Works program.
AS your committee appointed to in
vestigate relief conditions found that
the members of the Communist Party
of America were Disseminated against
in the distribution of relief in Silver
Bow county, and as this discrimina-
ton consequently continued as far as
the Civil Works program was con-
cerned, we recommend that those dis
eliminated against for this reason be
given employment Immediately.
Your committee also found that
there are at present 1900 people still
OF relief in Silver Bow county. We
therefore, recommend that those who
were given employment contrary to
the then existing rules and regulations
be Immediately dropped, and that they
be replaced with men on relief rolls
or at least those deserving %unemploy-
ed registered with the National Re-
employment Service. We recommend,
also, that a further quota of employ
Montana labor news., 1934-01-04

ees be granted to Silver Bow county
to place these relief cases at work.
We condemn the aforesaid practice of
discrimination and favoritism. The
jobs created under the emergency pro-
gram are not pawns for politicians
and private corporations to play with.
They are not patronage out of which
selfish corporation, and their hench-
men are to reward those wro grant
them political favors, or are they to
be dispensed as largessee to the faith
full, and your committee therefore rec
ommends that notice of these abuses
be brought by this House to the Fed
eral Administrator, the State Admin
istrator, and the Governor of this
state, and the appropriate remedy be
requested.
AS can be seen from the roster of
the administrative committee in Sill
yer Bow County and its operating
subcommittee, there are two officials
of the Anaconda Copper Mining Co.,
two bankers, three businessmen, a
doctor, and a secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce, and as II are men,
bers of the Chamber of Commerce,
and some directors of that body. 1t
is indeed a sad commentary upon it
all that in the largest industrial CEN
ter of this state, where the laboring
and working class form the immense
majority of the population, that labor

WAGE BASIS

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.-(FP) -
Determined to keep low wages, south
ern manufacturers prepared an attack
upon NRA codes which do not pro-
vide for southern wage d~ifferentials.
At a meeting at Chattanooga, Tenn,
composed of presidents and secretar-
les of the various manufacturers as
sociations, a Southern States Indus
trial Council was formed to push the
attack.
The first demand will be that south
ern industrialists be placed on code
authorities and that their right to pay
workers less than northern manufac-
turers be recognized. The councils
Washington lobby was ordered to CO.
operate with the reactionary Natl.
Assn. of Manufacturers.
A resolution calling for an early
end to NRA was defeated by a 32-

SOCIAL JUSTICE LEGISLATION

The twelve-point program of social Justice leg
islation which William Green, president of the
American Federation OF Labor, urges all subor-
dinate organizations, representing more than five
million workers, to support, is both an expression
of high idealism and an example of pragmatism
as applied to labor legislation.
The twelve points follow:
Workmen's compensations laws.
Unemployment insurance.
Anti-injunction legislation.
Child labor laws.
Ratification of the Child Labor Amendment to
the Federal Constitution.
Minimum wage laws for women and minors.
Improved standards for teachers in public
schools.
Shorter work day and work week for work.
es in public and private employment.
Safety legislation.
Inspection and sanitary legislation.
Convict labor laws.
In the language Of Mr.. Green, in his letter urg-
ing all affiliated bodies to use every effort to
secure the enactment of the program into law:
The measures are all important, as they relate
to the social and economic life of the working
people in the different states and throughout
the Nation"
The necessity OF this legislation to protect the
economic interests of the workers Of America IS
so apparent that the entire program, which has
been drafted and endorsed by conventions of the
American Federation of Labor, should be accept
ed by all progressive persons as an immediate
goal without close scrutiny and consideration.
