CO-OPERATION AMERICAN
AND MEXICAN MINERS
CLIFTON, Arlz., Jan. 26.—Johi
Murray the apostle of close co-ope
ration between the American anc
the Mexican unionists, wires infor
nation from the Arizona coppei
strike region, that is of first im
portance. He states that on Wed
nesd&y three great meetings of un
ion miners were held in this distric
and by practically unanimous vot(
they agreed to apply to the Mine
Mill and Smelter Workers Interna
tinal Union for charter. This actioi
was taken by the union miners nor
on strike in the camps of Clifton
i Morenci and Metcalf, and means
■ the affiliation with the American
, Federation of Labor, under the de
■ sign&ted international, of nearly
■ 6,000 members. A very active com
mittee with its spirit of practical
■ internatoinal fraternity, was a
■ large factor in bringing these 5,000
; Mexican miners into direct affilia
: tion with the A. F. of L. The ne
cessity for conforming to the prin
ciples and rules of the labor move
. ment of the country in which the
workers reside, irrespective of na
, tionality, was a theme dwelt upon
by the Mexican speakers at these
three most impressive assemblages.
The debates were lengthy at all
throe meetings.
The Metcalf meeting was in ses
sion from 2 until 11 p. m. when the
final show of hands was taken by
flashlight—as we wore on an open
hillside, the companies refusing to
rent ground, or a hall to hold a
meeting, but the result of the vote
was all the more gratifying, show
ing that thi3 united action was
taken with every man’s eyes open,
and proving the Mexican miners in
Arizona intend to become thorough- 1
ly organized. It is tho belief of |
the Mexican labor leaders here that j
this action will open the way for
the entire 20,000 Mexican miners
in Arizona in their international.
Similar action la very likely to
follow in New Mexico. We were
very fortunate indeed in securing
such aw organizer as Murray to
cone this way.

ENLISTED MEN TO MAN
ARMY TRANSPORTS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. Si -
According to recent orders issued,
no other than enlisted naval men
will man army tra:isports hereafter
Officials believe this will insure
more efficient operation of the
ships, particularly in the war zone,
whero the strain on a crew is the
greatest, and so lessen the rick of
destruction by submarines. Deci
sion to have the navy operate the
transport is believed to have been
hastened by the sinking of another
transport manned by civilians.
It was pointed out that the high
ly trained and disciplined naval
force is “bound to be” more effec
tive than a constantly changing
civilan personnel. This is regarded
as particularly true of the fireroom
force, upon which a ship's speed
largely depends. The manning ot

Mr. A. Polet, Nome, Alaska. > * ! *
Dear Sir:—We have studied tio Commercial business of Alas
ka as thoroughtly as possible from this distance, to sco what
products it would be avisablc to pack of which wo have an
abundance, and yet hard to get lo you in its natural state.
Wc are about the largest handlers of Poultry, Eggs a:.d But
ters west of the Rockies, and there is no roason in our mind,
why wo should not get in touch with you direct.
Mooting with a great deal of difficulty in securing refrigatcr
space for dressed poultry, we hit on the novel idea cf Canning
the fresh killed chickens.
Wc gather the live chickens at our Poultry and Egg buying
stations at Petaluma, and after being milk fed they arc kil
led and dressed.
The chickens is then cut in four part3 and put in cans, and
cooked under a process which retains its fine fresh flavor. We
pack a complete half chicken in the 1 1-2 lbs. cans, and a com
plete whole chicken in the 3 lbs. cans, bone and all.
We oro also putting out a superior Chicken Soup with Rice,
which in our estimation, is above reproach.
Our prices are as follows:
CHICKEN. No. 1 1-8 lbs. cans, per dozen $8.25, per can 75c.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICH. Per doz. $1.00, per can I5e.

the transports will make necessary
a large increase in the Navy’s per
sonnel and the general board is
understood to have recommended
that Congress authorize an addi
tional 80,000 men, 30,000 for the
permanent naval forces and 60,000
for the period of the war. With
the transsporis turned over to the
navy it was decided at the same
time to have ihe Shipping Board
operate all cargo vessels, including
those carrying supplies for the
armed forces aboard. The news
paper announcements relating to
these changes did, of course, make
no mention of the fact, that a ci
vilian crew commands approximat
ely double the wages paid to a
crew of enlisted men. Perhaps it
