Lower
Utilities Rates

Notwithstanding the Citizens
Utilities Company made a volun-
tary reduction in rates last week,
the mayor and board of aldermen
at meeting Monday evening voted
to seek still lower rates.
A committee of which Alderman
B. J. Jones is chairman, will con-
fer with the power company. Il
think the company can make us
still lower rates." he said
why are the rates so much
higher here than elsewhere, City
Attorney S. D. Monahan asked C.
n. McNulty at Mondays meeting.
McNulty, who is manager Of the
utilities, replied: six hundred and
forty customers here only pay $1.20
a month, our tax bill last year was
$24, 600 and we have spent $102 900
in capital investment in this town
the last two years." McNulty re-
piled, and added that I'VE have
done our best right now, the recent
reduction is a gift
Mayor Cheshire said the rate re-
duction announced by the power
company last week came as a sur
prise to him and that he knew
nothing about it until he read the
announcement in the papers.

3,789 Persons

PHOENIX, May 27-UP)-Good
news for Arizona business was re-
Elected today in the high ranking
of employers in providing jobs for
new men during the first quarter
of 1888.
Director Lewis Irvine of the Ari-

showed Arizona in mo. 81 position
for January and February, and in
ninth position during March. Jobs
were located for 3,789 persons.
Irvine pointed out, however, the
figures show only the percentage
of workers placed in relation to the
number of persons actively en-
ployed and registered for work. He
said only workers added were re-
corded in the report the released
workers not showing.
During the same quarterly period,
1908 original claims for unemploy-

ARIZONA'S MINIMUM WAGE
LAW FOR WOMEN AND MINORS
WILL BE ENFORCED SHORTLY
State Industrial Commission Advertising o
Nominations For Wage Board For The
Retail Trade Industry

and from the names suggested will
select six members-three repre-
senting the employees and three
representing the employers. The
seventh member of the board mutI
be member of the Industrial Com
mission, who will act as chairman.
Only persons engaged in the in
dustry specified-in this instance
the retail tradeS-are permitted to
nominate members of the wage
board, and they must be women or
minors (n1inors meaning members
of either sex under the age of
twenty-one years. Or employers.
Nominations must be received
by the Industrial Commission at
the State Capitol by June IT.
The minimum wage law for wom-
en- and minors was parsed at the
Second Special Session of the
Thirteenth Legislature and became
effective July /, 1887.
In the absence of cost of living
information and data concerning
the level of wages paid women and
minors in the State of Arizoa, it
was necessary for the Commission
to make a study of both these sub
jects. Individuals interested j II
three of the industries in the state
have petitioned the Commission to
make an investigation of wave con-
ditions. The study of the retail
trade industry has just been COM
pleted. The necessity for a study
of wage and cost of living condi-
tions in Arizona is due to the fact
that federal reports do not cover
the situation in Arizona.

LITTLE HELP SEEN
IN YELLOW BALL
Might Aid Against a White
Background, Say Dodgers
After Game Test.

BROOKLYN. N. Y. Aug (P.-
The yellow ball may have its advan-
tages against a white-Shirted back
ground, but otherwise it is neither bet
ter nor worse than the conventional
sphere. That was the opinion Of the
Dodgers after they had beaten the st.
Louis Cardinals. to 2. in the first
game of a twin bill in the yellow
balls first big-league test.
Il could follow it we'll enough from
the bench said Manager Burleish
Grimes. Il was q little surprised
sometimes at the distance some of
those flies went, because they didn't
sound we'll hit.
Il really think it would be a good
ball to use against a white-shirted
background. such as the one in Chi
cago's Wrigley Field. 1t would be a
safer ball to hit against"
Outfielder Tuck Stainback of the
Dodgers said he noticed the dye came
off the ball and onto the bat after 1t
was hit.
Fred Ft4simmons, who pitched the
complete game. found that the dye
came off on his perspiring fingers.
1T made it a little harder to grip
the ball." he said
DR.. Frederic Rahr, the color en-
gineer who designed the ball. was pres
ent. 1T was designed primarily to
stop beanball accidents" he said.
