Autoists Hold Up

Nowadays, when hitch-hiker

attention to it, but in c case which
happened near Chandler the other
day, the shoe was on the other foot
Roy Armstrong, hitch hiking on
his way through here to Flint,
Michigan, was picked up last week,
at the Phoenix city limits by an
automobile containing two white
men and a negro. Armstrong had
some money and suitcase contain
ing all of his clothes.
The automoblists drove south on
the highway to Hamilton's Corner,
four miles south of Chandler and
there turned east, driving across
the railroad tracks and an irriga'
ton canal out into the desert
There one of the group stuck a gun
in Armstrong; ribs, and ordered
him to "shell out" and "get out.
He did both. He was loser to the
time of about twenty dollars, and
his clothes. He reported the ride
to Chandler officers.
The men in the car drive back
toward the highway, and evidently
headed toward Phoenix. They have

ECONOMY HIGH LIGHTS.

Recently the business indicators
have shown the effects of two ad-
verse influences-strikes and floods.
Both caused sharp reductions in
consumer purchasing power, and
both were felt throughout the en-
tire industrial structure.
Most serious strikes involved
Pacific Coast maritime workers,
and automobile workers. These
strikes have been at least
temporarily settled. West coast
shipping, tied up practically 100 per
cent for more than 80 days, IS re-
Stunning normal proportions. Gener-
al Motors plants are again operat-
ing. But the labor outlook is still
mixed
Il is regarded as inevitable that
more strikes will be called this
spring and fall. Objectives of two
of these strikes will be the coal
and steel industries, which employ
about 100000 men. At the present
time, the soft coal mines are operat-
ing under labor agreement affect
ed between the operators and the
United Mine Workers This agree
/, ment expires on the last day Of
March, and it is widely, forecast
that at that time the union VIII
make demands and operators will
refuse to meet, and strike will
follow. So far as steel is concerned.
it has been the avowed intention
of John L.. Lewis to force the closed
shop on the industry, and it is said
that he has his plans all ready for
what may prove to be the greatest
strike in recent history.
AS the U. S. News recently point
ed out, Modern industry is now
so integrated and inter-related that
the troubles Of any one part soon
reflect themselves throughout the
whole. Strike effects take on ma
tional Importance" In other words,
when a strike hits big industry,
such as motors, it's dampening eff.
fects on trade are felt Immediately
throughout many other big in
dustries rubber, oil, textiles,
transport. Car dealers run out Of
stock, and must discharge sales
men. In a thousand communities
purchasing power declines, is felt
by groceries, drug stores, movie
theatres, every commercial activity.
Cumulative losses run up into the
billions. These widespread in
| fluences of a general strike are re
garded by some labor leaders as
an asset-they feel that pubic
opinion, impressed by the brake puc
on normal prosperity, will throw
its weight to their side to force a
settlement with employers. YET The
automobile strike settlement gave
labor heads great deal less than
they asked for, is regarded by A
z, of L. President Green as a set
back for the workingman.
The influences of a natural di.-
aster, such as the Ohio river floods,
are of course similar. Factories and
stores close, people must leave
their homes. Their purchasing
power is almost entirely STOPPED.
First the most drastic effects, as
a result, are felt by the retail trade
industries. During the following the
recent floods, the large mail order
houses reported serious drops IL

It is with regret that we must
admit no overwhelming interest in
England's medieval coronation
pageant, taking place today.
America has suddenly adopted a
great interest in, and reverence
for, English royalty. Every radio
blares forth details and music Of
the coronation. Newspaper rep
resentatives throng London, re-
porting minute details.
Tomorrow it will all be over. all
but the hunger in the American
mass mind for nobility and royal
ty. We love it, read it and long
for taste of glamorous leader
ship.
The old-time American self
reliance and contempt for kings
and mobiles, the Colonial brand Of
patriotism, is dying out.
Coronation Of a king who Yields
influence, but not power, would
seem of slight Importance across
the sea. But we would out-hail
and OUTFLOW the Britisher. For
US, in America. the new king is
but symbol Of what is growing
stronger, day-by-day, in the com,
mon mind: the desire for complete
surrender of personal rights TO
the God-sanctioned authority of
one-man. President in name,
King in fact.
