WARREN DISTRICT IN PROSPEROUS
 CONDITION
Labor Troubles Apparently at An End-Return of Confi- denCe Apparent Among Mer- ChantS-Influx of Labor.
What Is Going on at the Dif- ferent Mines in the District. Activity Prevails on Every Hand.

With the close of the first week. following the announcement of the raise in wages at all the mines in the Warren district, conditions are i'm measurably more favorable to a so- lution of what seemed an impending state of commercial stagnation. Bus mess in every line is better than it has been at any time since the ad- vent of the Western Federation. Con- fidence has apparently undergone complete restoration and that miners. men with families, are entering the district and finding employment can not be disputed, notwithstanding the reluctance of the companies to make a statement on this phase of the situa- tion. .. From reliable sources comes the in- formation of an attempt on the part of the rank and file of the Westerns Federation to agitate strike measures, the opposition to any such move be- ing lead by Organizer Rawlings. The sober heads it appears have dominat- ed the policy of the union and there is no doubt that any strike which might have been advocated and pre- cipitated, has been nipped in the bud for the present at least.
 With voluntary raise on the part of the mining companies to a mini. mum wage scale of S4 per day to al underground men, it would seem that little ground has been left for dis content among the Warren district working men, but from all that can l.n lr, -sL..- the companies of the Western Feeder ation, has left a sore spot with union asitators and there is a disposition on the part of some to force strife and turmoil on all others in order that they may be officially recognized by the mine operators.
 Everywhere in the district there is confident in the belief that Bisbee will not. be dominated and controlled by any union organization.
 In every line of the mercantile bus mess, merchants are preparing for good years run and buying orders have been materially increased over those of sixty days back.
 Building never enjoyed the activity that at present characterizes that in
 
 of the Mule Pass divide to Warren and Don Luis, particularly in the heart of the business district, the erection of modern structures goes on with marked activity Three three story buildings of the most modern kind of store and office structures are being planned and one has al ready started it's foundation. The completion of the Bank of Bisbee ad- dition and the new library building which was opened Friday gives lthe Main street of the city a most metro politan appearance.
 The influx of a numDer of the la boring class is noticeable, and the reportorial observation is not the only source of information on this point, 1t being given out at the local real estate offices that there has been marked increase in the demand for suitable family residences of the class usually sought by miners. Whether the incoming men represent union or non-union men it is impossible to state; but it Is we'll known that most of them are finding employment at the mines when they apply for work,
 
 may be masters. notwithstanding Western Federation men have been notified to stay away from Bisbee.
 The ores are in the ground in the Warren district, the facilities are here for getting them out and capital has ventured too far to be beaten from its path of continuing in the prosper ous pursuit of the red metal. Bisbee is and will continue to be tine D,s,Ssei mining camp of the west and those outside who may be contemplating coming to this city should find no good reason for procrastinating. The investigation of the true conditions as they exist in reality leaves no room for doubt of the present and future prosperity of the Warren dis trict. free from the rule or ruin policy of the Industrial Workers of the World.
