Labor Fights
Anti Bills
At Hearing

At the public hearing of the
House of Renresentino Labor Com
mittee last Friday Labor appeared
enmasse to oppose the vicious legis.
lation in Senate Bills 3, 65, 66 and
67. Very few proponents of the
arlti-labor legislation showed up
Mr.. George Hill, the hired attor-
new of the farm and cattle "associ-
ations," carried most of the burden
weakly assisted by Tom Mason
head of the Arizona Restaurant As
sociation, and the leader in the
move to reon all catering EN-.
ployees in the state; a few Other
sneaker and Cecil Miller, farmer
and cattle-feeder.
Had Mr.. Miller come forth wher
the "right-to-work" amendment
was being agitated and did what he
suggested be done at the Friday
meeting, there would be no labor
trouble in Arizona now. He sug.
oested that minimum wage law
be adopted, and said agriculture
would "go along" II
Had the amendment carried
the provision thot a stimulated
prevailing ware he paid, no one
world have had an argument
: AGAINST it. But Mr.. Miller did
not think of that at the right
time. Now, under the amend
r1ert the workers only have the
fright" to work. The employers
have all other "rights"-wages
paid, hours worked and condi-
tions of en'plovment.
Among Labor's speakers were
Darrell Parker, attorney, who die
an outstanding job in showing what
would hapren if labor injunctions
which all of the. bills provide, re.
turn to the law books. He citeC
facts and figures and named one
incident that had already happened
in Maricopa county.
Several Railway Brotherhood

trouble in the operation of the rail.

pared to 20 into detail with fig

R. E. Miller, drug store own.

to see labor deprived of it's wage

facts last month. At Phoenix,
there were 6,O24; Tucson 2,6O7;
Flagstaff 1876; Yuma 815; Globe

NEGRO MILITARY POLICE ARE ON DUTY
IN FAMOUS city OF THE LEANING TOWER

PISA, Italy-In this world
famous italian city of the Leaning
Tower, nine Negro enlisted men,
a detachment of the Goth Military
Police Company, represent the
United States Army. The unit
onerates military police station
on a continuous twenty-four hour
duty-day.
picked from company of
the most select Negro troops in
the Mediterranean Theater, the
group handles various types of
cases. Black-Market spectators,
thieves and military personnel on
"French leave are handled as a
matter of routine in an area ex-
tending from northern Leghorn
to the town of MaSSa on the coast,
and inland to Montecatini on the
northeast and to San Romano in
the southeast.
Key man in each of three daily
shifts at the station is the desk
sergeant. This position is shared
by Staff Sergeant Francis Mckay
of 1421 Heck Avenue, Asbury
Park, New Jersey; Sergeant Percy
Merriwether of 913 Shearer Street,
Clarksville, Tennessee, and Cor
poral Donald Ransom of 14717
Dequinere Street, Detroit, Michi-
gan.
Persons brought to the military
police station are questioned by
the desk sergeant who determines
whether they are to be confined
or released. The desk chief is also
charged with maintaining the "In-
cident Report and Police Blotter." T"
and with dispatching patrols to
areas in which trouble has been
reported.
"Right-hand man" to the desk
sergeant it the jailer. Effecting
the search. of CT delinquents in
strict FBI fashion, he lists for re-
turn to persons who are detained,
all personal belongings which are
taken at the time of their arrest.
The feeding and care of prisoners
in the course of their confinement
is also part of the jailer's re-
SponSibility.'
Delinquency reports are made
by the station clerk. One Italian
and three Greek interpreters are
employed to assist him in his inter-
views.
Probably the most interesting
case to reach the Pisa Military
Police Station was that of Private
Lee Young, an Elizabeth, Pennsyl-
vania, soldier who was appre-
nended after being AWOL for
more than two years. Military
police recall that when Young was
arrested last December, he could
hardly speak an English Sentence
without including some Italian.
At the time OF his arrest, he had
settled in Montignoso and was en-
ployed as an olive oil laborer.
Young had married and become
the father of one child.

Grand Jurly Report
The grand jury report, sub
mithted by the foreman, James

tine in nature with the excep-
ton that it called for~ rigid en-
forcement of the liquor law"
Liquor seems to be prevalent
throughout the county and we
think there should be q stricter
enforcement" the report said.
In connection with the school
bus accidents, which Judge L. c.
Corban commented on in the
opening of court, the grand jury
said they found that the super
intendent of education had issued
a circular to all school bus drivers

The weight of testimony pre-

testimony taken at the hearings
in Waynesboro and Pascagoula,
and will submit its recommended

The Engineers decision will be
based to a large extent on gen.

show that shippers would save

Park Activity Increases

George Robey, former publicist for
the conservation division, once said
that Bluffton's Buckeye Lake is a
sparkling jewel of spring fed water.
In his visit of the park area sur
rounding the quarry he was much
impressed with the pleasing appear
ance of the place and remarked how
fortunate was our thriving town to
have such delightful place in which
to picnic, swim and fish. Many cities
spend thousands of dollars for such
"a set-up, and still their recreation
center does not compare with the
natural" located here in our midst.
From the time of his visit here
several years ago during a Jungle
Cock Picnic sponsored by the Sports
mems Club, a large number of i'm
provements have been added New
fountain supplying city drinking
water, electric lights around the
quarry, cement sidewalks, improved
bathhouse, floating beach, and swim
