Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1913-03-14

retail OF what the journal in the argot
of the day called canned power, in
cheap and portable small motors ap
plicable TO countless semi-meehanicall
uses, all with an end of abolishing the J
need for horse power and for man
power alike The result. it pointed
out, would be the throwing out OF
work OF countless thousands Of labor
ing men by the use of electricity
stolen from the people themselves
The gigantic css1bination already was
covering the main water powers. The
| peoples present openly had been dis
regarded, the peoples future openly
and patiently had been put in the
eravest of peril. The entire system
| OF government had been laid by the
/ heels. The name of the republic had
| been made a mockery. Above all, II
! was asserted, the most intimate In.
| tent of the International Power com.
| pany bad been the throttling Of the
labor unions-against which John
Rawn was known 20 be personally bit.
| terly opposed-the very essence ano
soul of the conspiracy having been
this device whose aim was to wipe out
the need of unskilled labor, and tc
make useless and unpaid the power OF
human Drawn.
Following these ssertions-whicl
after all we're not in the least bad jour
,nalism, however good or bad had beer
the design Of International Power
| the same journal exultantly declared
1 Ill Uaf
| that the gigantic conspiracy now hac
fallen in ruins; its leader had abdf
Gated and fed, and his ilI-gotten gainf
| had been dissipated in his last des
,perate attempt to save his holdings in
other stocks. In his ultimate fight he
had surrendered the control of the In
ternational, so long and desperately
held in his ownership. and now was
ousted from the presidency, Other
managers being left In charge Of the
wreck OF desperate marauder's at
tempt to throttle a republic and te
llrule a country And so forth, to many
extra pages, all deliciously explicit
land wondrous welcome alike to those
who purchase and those who puryey
the news.
The chronicle of all this was accom-
panied in this journal not only with
pictures of Graystone hall, but of the
abandoned factory of the Information
al Power company; also with por
traits OF Rawn and his wife and o.
Charles Halsey, late superintendent o
the company; as well as those of jim
Sullivan. the foreman, Ann Sullivan
: his wife, and other labor leaders some
. times concerned about the mysterioui
