Discord In Ranks
OF Unions Paving
Way For New Ills

In the past, labor troubles nave
usua1Iv consisted of disagreementS
between employers and unions. In
the future, some of our bltterest
labor troubles may be the fruits OF
= remarkable phenOmenon-dls-
agreements between different kinds
Of Unions.
Stems of this have already appear
I'd in a few strikes-the ship strike
in New York, shoe strike in Maine,
and the automobile strikes, Tor
instance. Principals in the inter
union argument are the Committee
On Industrial Organization, headed
by William Green.
Seeds of discord between these
groups were sown long ago-the A

the craft uniOn-a union composed
of men doing same kind of work,
though they may be employed in a
hundred different industries. CLOS

example, ali the automobile workers
would be enlisted in one union, all
the steel workers in another, and so

were in these industries.

this amount, it is interesting to nOre
that 25 loans amounting to $139,O5O

" result in a debt-free home"
The success of the insured mort

in the Administration risk-ratln@
system. the elimination of The
burdensome second mortgage, the

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ARE
EXPLAINED BY HENNESS

There has been some misunder-
standing among farmers and stock
men in this state in regard to the
work done by the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration and the
work done by the Sol Conservation
Service. These are 20 distinct and
separate agencies, although both
are working on sol conservation
projects, it was explained here
Tuesday by K K IIenness, Pinal
County Agent
The Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, working through the
state extension service, is set up
to cover a broad program. Grants
are paid directly to the farmers and
stOckmen to assist them in prevent
ing the deterioration of soil and
for rebahilitating lands which are
becoming less productive Payments
are made to farmers in planting
their lands to crops which will pre-
serve and increase soil fertility.
Grants are made to range Stockmen
to assist them in improving their
range by developing supplies Of
water, reseeding grasses, Destroy
ing rodents and for controlling
erosion.
The diversification of crops is
encouraged so that farmers will not
produce crops in excess of market
demands. This is a voluntary pro-
gram. No contracts are signed and
no commitments are made either
by the secretary of agriculture or
the farmer or ranch operator. Pay
ment is made to the operator when
the work is actually accomplished.
The soil conservation service as
a separate agency is confining it's
work to limited areas which are
already damaged by erosion. They
are rehabilitating these lands with
CCC labor and their own personnel
hired to do this work. Where this
work is done on privately owned
lands the owner must sign an agree
ment with the Soil Conservation
Service to control it's use for a
period of five years, Henness said.

Harkey Punches
Mexican Who Hit
His Auto Sunday

Last Sunday evening when Sam
Harkey of North Coolidge parked
his car on the Coolidge-Phoenlx-
Florence highway just southeast of
Union high school building to get
out and make a purchase of mix,
a Mexican, drunk as a boiled owl, .
driving a small car, crashed into the
left front fender of the Harkey car,
althO it was parked off the pave
ment
What Sam did to that Mexican
was aplenty, He dragged him odt
Of the car and gave him good
threshing, but the Mexican is said
to have been so drunk that it is
doubtful if he could recall the next
morning what happened to him.

Greatest Disgrace

WASHlNGTON-May 1S.-Aroer-
ica's great disgrace is going to be
diminished. A nationwide effort is
going to be made to decrease The
number of newspaper headlines that
read Collision Causes Death" The
blemish of avoidable highway &C

Of permanent disabilities due to
automobile and truck crashes must
be reduced. The Committee on Safa
Highways of the American Road
Builders Association is convinced
this can be done through the az.
plication of modern engineering
methods-the building of safety in
to the nations roads.
Fifty of the country's leading
highway engineers and safety ex-
perts and enthusiasts will converge

said Charles M. Upham, engineer
director of the association, in an
nouncing the highway saftey NEE
ing, eff we do not want 1897 to
reach an all-time peak in highway
deaths. Highway accidents fataliti
es to date are already 26 per cert
over 1886. Our Committee on Safe
Highway believes that highway
safety is largely q matter of proper
highway engineering. We, as road
builders, are going to concern or
selves with the rehabilitation OF
antiquated roads. We are deternin-
cd to recOnstruct safety into the
cid roads and build safety into the
new by means of modern engineer
ing methods at our command. To
GO this we must have the help Of
the public. The people must stand
lirm with us in our fight to secure
the use of every penny collected
IN state gasoline and other motor
vehicle highway taxes for highway
building and upkeep. Our research
indicates that faulty roads are
causing an astounding percentas4
Of all m0tOr-vehicle accidents. Some
of the many unnecessary hazards
that are daily featuring death IL

At best. the Secretaryshlp OF the

"A major headache to its occupant -
Mr.. Morgenthau.
The failure of Federal revenue

it essential for the Treasury TO
issue more bonds at the end Of this
fiscal year. 1t is up to Mr.. Morgeh-
thau to assay the market, get tie
money at as low an interest rate
as possible.
This takes plenty of figuring, III
the light of the substantial drops
in government bond values occur
ing early this year-drops that nave

authority thinks the decline was
due to doubt of Government credit

financing, offering higher interest
rates than government bonds, TO
profit taking for the raising Oh
money with which to pay income
taxes. and, highly important, to the

some Of the richest, best-establlSh-
ed unions. Big A. F. Of l.. hopes are
pinned on a change in the National
Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act}
which it hopes Congress will en-
dorse.
AS now constituted, this Act
forces elections among workers
when trouble appears in an in
dustry. These elections are secret,
are impartially conducted, and
workers vote for whatever union
they want. Union getting a
majority vote is the legal repl"-
sentative of all the workers, and
other unions are out. A. F. OF L.
wants an amendment to the Act
which would permit craft union
to represent it's members in an in
dustry, irrespective of what union
speaks for other workers in the
same industry. 1t may be that such
an amendment is necessary to the
very life of A. F. of Lin an in
dustry, craft workers, who are
usually highly skilled men, are in
the minority, and can be easily
outvOted.
The company union, Business
Weeks says, is definitely on the
wane, may entirely disappear before
long. Workers just don't like 1t.
Recent test came in the Packard
motor company election, held by

workers had their choice between
a company union and a CIO urion.
CIO came out on top, by a four to
one majority.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May "a
Magazine Steel said today that no
alarm is felt by steelmakers because of
lessened buying.
The publication pointed out the
steel market was facing a natural
rebound from the artifcially stimu-
lated demand for steel few weeks ago,
when a rise in price was expected,
and also the effect Of a seasonal lull
1t midyear."
Though buying is consistently less
Than shipments, volume of current
orders, when added to mill backlogs,
S sufficient to assure activity well
into the Summer" the review said.
The change of automobile models, a
seasonal factor in Summer decline In
demand, is not likely to be as strong
this year as builders have heavy
orders for 1887 models and new models
are to be brought out earlier. thus
shortening the period between seasons,
It was disclosed.
The magazine said the national
operating rate rebounded 2la points
to 91i2 per cent of capacity, equal to
$hat Of April. the highest level of the
7ear. Pittsburgh increased its rate
13 points to 96 per cent, Chicago
added one point to IS, New England
13 points to 100 and Cleveland 2l2
points to 80 per cent.
Youngstown lost three points to 80
per cent, Buffalo fell off two points to
SO, Detroit was down one point to 80
and Cincinnati was of four points to
%.
Operating rates were unchanged at
Wheeling at "a per cent; Eastern
pennsylvania, 1912; Birmingham, 80,
and st. Louis, "a.
Despite reduced buying, mills were
reported making slow progress in re-
ducing backlogs and making prompt
delivery possible. Best deliveries on
bars now range from four to six weeks,
and on plates three to four weeks in
the case of some producers, while most
mills can offer to 10 weeks, the
magazine said.
Scrap continued to decline, but more
slowly. indicating, the publication said,
that the bottom may be near. The
composite of scrap prices dropped 70
cents to sl7.87, the level of the second
week in January, practically the low
tor the year. The iron and steel COM
posite declined cents to s3e.97 on
