to the spread of the widest and most
exaggerated reports. There is prac-
tically panic in Rome over this

The Bisbee Miner says that during the past few days there has been con. siderable talk of impending labor trouble in the Warren district and all sorts of rumors have been circulated, |, most of which have been of a sensa tiOual nature.

 The rumors of recurrence Of the labor troubles of early last year have been the result of renewed activities ot the Western Federation of Miners in the Warren district, an organizer having recently arrived in Bisbee for the purpose of proselyting in the mines and attempting to strengthen the position of the federation there after the setback it received from the unsuccessful attempt to unionize the camp almost :wo years ago.
 According to the rumors, various dates had been set for the strike there, the closest da.e being November 2S and in view of the general uneasiress which has been resultant, a Miner re. porter this morning interviewed officers of the miners organization.
