W. W. and a "syndicalist anarchist," through his testimony before, the senate committee investigating the steel strike, has thrown some very interesting light on the labor situation in the entire country and which finds particular application in Arizona labor circles. "Foster (the secretary of the steel strikers' general committee) believed that he could still retain his integrity as a syndicalist while going into the American Federation of Labor and being a 'borer within as he put it; I did not think he could," was the statement of Margolis before the committee when questioned as to Foster's beliefs and connections. And Senator Kenyon cleared up the matter by asking: His idea was to retain his views, was it not and get leadership in the American Federation of Labor, with which to favor them?" "Something like that," was the answer of Margolis.

Boring from within is a new term, as applied to -union labor, but it promises to be a synonym for the disruption of organized labor, by those people, bent on revolution, who never have been able to attain their end from without. Arizona's labor ranks have two very prominent "borers from within," whose scalps are necessary if labor in this state shall cdntinue to enjoy any degree of esteem from the people of the commonwealth. Thomas Croaff, president or the State Federation of Labor, and George D. Smith, its secretary, fit the term "borers from within' They are exactly the shoes of Wm. Z.

Foster. They have maintained their "integrity as syndicalists" and have used the Arizona Federation of Labor for the furtherance of ideas and actions that can result only in the complete disruption of the Federation of Labor. Both men have openly espoused the idea of the "one big union." A glance at the Arizona Labor Journal, which they dominate, will convince the most skeptical of the truth of this statement. Smith is a proven member of the I. W.

W. and Croaff has declared his lack of sympathy, on a numbor of occasions, for the A. F. of L. Arizona labor can not afford to harbor "borers from within." They are bent on destruction and their insidious methods can only result in the breaking up of the trades union movement.

That is their object; with ultimate hope for revolution and gradual (or sudden) adoption of soviet government in the United States. The Arizona Federation of Labor meets very soon in its annual convention. The state is industrially. Let labor, by the elimination of "borers from within" do its share to keep this 'condition permanent. Tucson Star.

MUST LOOK AHEAD IT is hard to keep cheerful and be an optimist in the face of depressing conditions. That is largely what copper producers have had to do since the armistice was signed. The fact remains, however, that when the peace negotiations are finally closed and our system of credits and trade relations are again fully established, copper cannot help but be in great demand. Our own country, which was not touched by the ravages of war, but which simply slowed up on building operations for a short time, cannot now catch up with requirements in building and expansion demands. Think what must be rhe requirements of nations which went through five years of destructive warfare.

They must buy eventually when peace is established. Our own needs in modern building, development or electrical appliances, gas engines, airplanes, tractors, automobiles, will require the use of more copper, zinc and lead than ever before. Labor troubles are delaying every line of activity and have been for months, with consequent demoralization of all lines of production in basic industries. Such conditions might well cause even the strongest to hesitate if they did not look beyond present conditions. In spite of all this, however, consumption has gone on at a record rate in this country.

An authority on the copper situation says: "Europe must buy largely the quantity is only limited by the amount of cash and credit that can be assembled. "Japan and China can be counted on as large buyers so soon as the pending political problems are worked out. The world needs copper in vast quantities and must come to 'this country for it; the need is urgent and imperative to restoration of normal industrial conditions. THE FUTURE OF OIL A NATIONALLY prominent oil man says: "The fear of a possible over-expansion of the oil Industry is not well based. Last year the United States produced 341.000,000 barrels' of oil, but this was 42,000,000 barrels short of consumption, whicn had to bo imported from Mexico.

"Eliminating the war increase and taking the ten years preceding the war, we find that the average annual increase in consumption, if continued, will in eight years require every oil refinery in the United States to double its capacity. "The ten-year pre-war increase occurred before the airplanes and the submarine began using large quantities; before conversions' from coal to oil as fuel for ships became frequent, and while the automobile industry was just getting into its stride. In ensuing years the demand from these sources for oil will increase tremendously. The possibilities in use of oil as vessel fuel alone can be appreciated from the fact that three 5000 ton cargo boats burning oil can do the work of four same size vessels using coal, and at less expense per boat." Is it any wonder that far-seeing men are striving fro a national policy and legislation encouraging to, rather than discouraging to further development of our oil lands? TAX EXEMPTION AND SPECIAL TAXES I TAXATION and tax exemptions can make or break different lines of industry. Every, expert and economist who hus expressed himself! on tax exemption has condemned it.

The special 5 per cent: excise tax on candy above all other a special tax 'on 'the industry and the exemptioq of others'. Tax exemption and special taxes have no defenders on any pleas but opportunism or special interest. It is a disease which began in a small way, but now needs the surgeon's knife to remove it-and re-establish a uniform tax system. Tax exemptions and special taxes threaten to make financing of private business impossible if coutinutd ill the present rate. nm, Here and There in Arizona OPIUM PEDDLER.

Roy Pope, charged by government agents with having dealt in opium and its derivaties, this morning waived hid preliminary ex amination before Commissioner HechUnan-and was bound over tu await the action of the federal grand jury, which will convene here on December 1.

FEDERAL AID PROMISED FOR BORDERLAND ROUTE TUCSON, Oct. 24. Federal aid for the Borderland route is pending approval in the state highway department, 1.

P. Frazier, division engineoi of the state highway department, announced yesteiday, or arriving from where he was marking the danger roints on the oBrderland route for tile IT. I Paso and Phoenix roac race. He left for Bisbee during the dujr. continuing the marking.

The rou through Cochise and Pima has recently been repaired imd, barring wah-outs, sshould be in good shape for ihe race. He reported that the location on the Nogales-Ffcli banks road I'um the Santa Cruz bridga to Sonoita had been completed and that the location party would be transferred to to locate the section from Sonoita v.i Fairbanks. In a month, Mr. Frazier saic. the now at Rosemont under A.

W. Jenkins, will be moved to the Benson-Vail project which is being sunt hy tJie state highway department on force account so far as the county end is concerned. The stute has a big supply of government equii' ment for ue at this point. The construction will start 1,000 feet south of mile post 23 on the Borderland route, cast of Tucson. Twenty miles of it will be- in Pima county and will cost 260.000 out of an appropriation of fov the construction of the road in Pima and Cochise counties.

an official as a. case in point. Late last July a woman who had been married before was granted a divorce from her second husband, with permission to resume the name of her first husband. Less tnan 60 days afterward, despite a state law which declares that no person divorced shall remarry wjin-, in less than a year, this woman mar-iried a third time, using, her maiden" name. Asked by the deputy clerk who is- sued the license II she had ever been divorced, she said no, and as she gave her maiden name, instead, of her legal name, the name of her first husband, it was impossible for the clerk to de lect the deception.

Yesterday, by one of the clerks who was acquainted with the woman's history, ran into -the documents in the files, and her illegal action was brought to light. Severe measures will be taken, th authorities state, to suppress hasty remarriages by divorced persons, not alone because of the moral issue involved, but because of the cloud which is cast in consequence on titles to property and the rights of children in inheritance. that the Republicans ought to carry six of the nine districts, even though the county itself may be slighty Democratic. It happens that in the three districts that are certainly Democratic the Democratic vote is heavy, while in thex remaining districts there is probably in each of them at least -a slender Republican majority. INCREASE IN DIVORCES STARTS TO WORRY PHOENIX PHOICN1X, Oct.

24. Serious concern has been manifested by court officials at the county building because "of the extremely large number of di vorce cases which have been coming before them. The number fthese cases, it is is entirely disproportionate to population of Maricopa county, j' An instance of reckless marriage land divorce was given yesterday by YUMA AMERICAN LEGION TO BECOME HUGE ORDER YUMA. Oct. 24.

That the H. H. Donkersley Post, American Legion, will become one of the strongest organizations in Yuma, county is the belief of many people who have followed the organization during the past few mouths. The membership Of the organization is growing with every day and scon it is hoped that every man in this section, of country who served with the armies or navies of the United States will be enrolled upon the books of the organization. Mouday night the final and permanent organization of the local post of the Legion was consumated.

Walter Psindberg was made the post com-mander; Dr. R. R. Knotts, vice com-mandei; Harry C. Westover, post adjutant.

Under the initiated act adopted by the people at the last election providing for repiesenta-tion in the lower house of the legislature by districts, instead qt from the county at large, the board of super-" visores yesterday ordered the district-iig of Maricopa county.

Under that act, basin? representation on the popular vote, this county is entitled to nine members in the lower house instead of six, the number it had under the cJd liw. The city of Phoenix yill have four of these members. Auoth.er will belong to the suburban district north 'ot the city, ut-sentially a part of the city.

Under the districting it is estimated START GRADING ON MESA-TEMPE ROAD MESA.

Oct. 24. The rollers were at work this morning preparing the first stretch of the Mesa end of the Mesa-Tempe highway for concrete. Steel side rails have been laid for this stretch of several hundred fet. and the first of the concrete will be down witnin tne next few days.

r. Afte rthe first mixture is laid, the work will progress rapidly and only 1a few weeks will be necessary foi each mile of the long stretch, pro-Tided, of course, that delays in ma terials and other factors are not encountered. The delay to date has Jjeen occasioned by the lack of crush- led rock, but it is thought this difficulty has been overcome and thai plenty of rock will be available at all times in the future. i Work in Tempe is progressing rapidly, and Sixth street is now practically prepared for the of paving. Considerable more time will be required for the laying of this paveniert, due to the fact that the grades must be made and other preparations carried out at the same time.

THE OLD SPANISH TRAIL o- From where the flowers of Florida Smije on the southern gulf. To where the Arizona hills Are rich with copper pelf, And then to where the western Bhores Greet the incoming sail, The road of glory twines its way The olden Spanish Trail. The lure of gold, the hope of fame, That drew the Spaniard on, That steeled his heart to high emprise Are never, never gone. Bat still today they bcekon plaid To those who dare to fail. And still the ranks of chivalry Sing on the Spanish Trail.

PEPY'S DIARY IN BISBEE Oct. 25. Up betimes, finding the morning chilly, and glad to find hot coffee on the table. After hasty shave and breakfast, to the town, where I went to the Y. W.

C. A. with the telegraph editor, and there listened to a merry conversation about gettig him a sweetheart. But when he told the young lady just what the qualities of the proposed lucky one should be, 1 could not but marvel that he did not take the young woman he was talking to, who is exceeding fair and witty withal, and whom he 'should not have overlooked. To the store again, where I talke dto a brunette with flashing eyes that held me so long that I was glad that my wife was not walking around the street-this day.

Saw Allie Howe, who told me about a wedding, and wrote a story, but now I hear the young woman in the case is not contemplating matrimony at all, which made it interesting for me, although not as much so as it would have been for her if the report bad been correct. Did also get some Information about the cashier's wedding ring, but not so authentic that I could publish it, but she seemed quite romantic today, so there must be something in the wind. To Miss Gregovich at the Y. W. who writes for the paper every week, and glad to find that she does not use so many capital letters.

She is also accommodating, and has a winsome smile, which helps her, I think, jn getting the editor to be so accommodating to her. But small luck for me, due, I think, to my bald head and my Adam's apple, which is beginning to be prominent, so that I must use judgment in shaving around and not to swallow while the blade is near. To the office, where I quarreled a little with the telegraph editor about grammar, but no harm done. So, after much writing, to bed, much pleased with some sleeve protectors that my wife has made for me, but fearful that she will ask for a new hat in the COUNTY OFFICIALS TO INVESTIGATE SHOOTING MIAMI, Oct. 24.

County Sheriff Shute and County Attorney Murphy left today for the northern part of the county to investigate the shooting land cutting scrape that took place there some time ago. The quarrel led up to a shooting scrape, place near what is called the Rim, in the Payson country. Various 'reDorts were made of the affair, in which Louis Bowman was' seriously wounded and his father f-Iighdy wounded, while the other person in I the quariel, Mr. Hubbard, was badly cut up. The present trip is to the affair and get tome light that wm help clear up the coniucting stjrics.

BUILDING BOOM BEGINS IN GLENDALE, MANY WAIT GLENDALE. Oct. 24. Many houses are being built in Glendale, but not enough to take care of the demand. The Carrick Realty company now has more thanVifleen parties on its waiting list for rental houses.

Harry Hazard, contractor, has seven houses under construction for different parties. One ts a J7000 house for a ranch home for J. Wagoner. He is building one in town for Louis Sands and another for Mr. Allen.

Others who are building are Frank Stages, a house for himself and Fred Walsh, one for rent With the building campaign launched by A. M. Hocl yesterday under way, Glendale will begin to tnkf care or the demand.

The clogan for Glendale might well be suld to be "Kuild a House." STARS AND KATYDIDS By EDMUND VANCE COOKE. I looked into the heavens vfor space. While Night unrolled her wonders to my yes. If man may ever know God face to face, It must be when he ponders on the skies. The myriad sun-ships speed their endless course, Never to harbor or to sight a shore, Impelled by awesome SilenceB, whose force Was, is, and shall be ever, evermore.

I marveled on that patient, peaceful Power; marveled what Eternal Master bids And every moment of that soul-hushed hour Was rasped to harshness by the katydids. Oh, friend of mine! how oft our tongues are twirled To spin vain words on every aimless matter! A silent greatness often moves the world, But katydids chirr on their endless chatter! Turning Back the Calendar Sixteen Years Ago Today In Bisbee From The Review of October 24, 1903 Air. -Harry McKee, national organ-( couple will return to Bisbee iu day her of the Socialists, is in Bisbee, Mr.f McKee arrived yesterday. He was seen in his room in the Copper Queen bote! last night oy a reporter of the Review, to whom he granted an interview, telling of the progress of the order in this territory and the success with which has in his tour of Arizona. The second month of the Bisbee public schools has passed, and according to the prjncipal'8 report, there are children enrolled in the public schools of this city.

During the month 66 new pupils were enrolled, which is a fair index of the rapid growth of the city. Forty-two parents visited the schools during October, o.d for the same length of time the teachers made 72 official calls. Lorenzo Gomez is suspected of the of Jose Maria in Upper Tombstone canyon last Wednesday, and officers are looking for him in his haunts. The sheriff's office seems lo be rather up against it in Bisbee, if one may judge from the act3 and intentions ot the officers, and all without aty particular animosity toward the bheriff or his deputies, it also seems But a short time ago Jailer Casad had the lock changed on the branch ccinty jail because Deputy Sheriff C'ridestcr was using that lock-up too tyuertly. Now City Marshal Mul-liu given out his edict that the cMy jail will be reserved tor prisoners ai rested by city officials only.

A fifht, alleged by one of ihe participants to be the direct result of a hoUI-up, occurred in the Orient on 'act evening. Wiiliam, Delaney is in jail to await his hearing on the ilh.rge of figjiting and disturbing the ice, and the more serious implication ihat he ui.s stolen money from a drunken miner, Tom Keauan. Mr. Gus Haigler and Miss Urieda Mostipr were married iu Tombstone or sc, and will be at home to mauy friends at their residecco on Optra Drive. The Calumet Arizona is putting in a new Corliss compressor just pbove the elevUs4 tramway, and opposite the boiler room.

The old compressor will be taken to the Junction, which would- indicate that- the company contemplates jed hot operations-on that property from bow on. It appears that the automatic ore bin at the Lowell, upon which the company has been experimenting for some time, is a tailure. The trouble rises from the fact that the bin Is emptied on the dump plan, and the heavy body of ore having some distance to travel, paralyzes the car. This difficulty, howerer, bids fair to be easily remedied, when the new style bin will prove invaluable in the direction of expediting loading operations. d.

Wilson's Activity Creates Optimism WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. Intervention by President Wilson today in the impending coal strike through a message to the conferring miners and operators brought about a belief in official circles that he had made definite progress to recovery.
