of the Governor and was frequently i interrupted by rounds of applause and cries of 'bien dicho" (well said). 1 Governor sat in the auto during the remarks of de Lara and frequently chuckled as he heard his words 1 translated.
 MT. Miller followed again in supple mentary remarks, saying:
 T want to impress on the minds of this community that the Governor says if you have any differences or grievances that ought to be ad- justed, now is the time to adjust them. I do not want to see any fel- low showing the white feather until they are adjusted and if it is neces- sary to put cheap agitators in jail I am willing to go and stay there un- til you fellows are treated, like men. If your wives can live in your homes and your children can have a piece of bread to which they are entitled, I am willing to go to jail and I am willing to pay the price. If they won't talk to me outside of the jail, maybe they will on, the inside and it don't matter ot me where it is"
 MT. Miller then stated to the crowd that another prominent state official was present, the Attorney General of the State, Hon. Wiley E.. Jones. MT. Jones. mounted the plat i form amidst the cries of "Hurrah for Jones" MT. Jones said in part: { MT. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle men: I first came into this camp 23 years ago last April and came in broke and by hard work and perse- verance I have held my own. I have been a resident of this county during large portion of that time. I had my law offices across tine street in 1903 when there was a strike on in this district and at that time I heard the mine managers say that when copper would raise wages, but have they done so? (Cries of no,no) In this crisis myself as well as the Governor of the state, are here endeavoring to secure an gadjustment of this con- troversy and I want to say that no satisfactory adjustment can be ob- tained unless it is supported by an honest public opinion. I believe that the cause of the worl1ingmen here is just and justice must prevail in the end. Your cause is the cause of God Almighty"
 MT. G. A. Franz, of the Becker Franz Mercantile Co, spoke for a few minutes, saying he had resided in Clifton for the past ten years and ever since he had been here he had been expecting and hoping to see this day. He assured the crowd that he was with the working man all the time in this controversy and as long as ne had dollar he would aid them. He advised them to stay with their program, not to starve work ing, but if necessary to starve fight ing.
 
 meeting and darkness had fallen be- fore the crowd dispersed.
 Governor Hunt took an auto for Lordsburg, where he caught a west bound train for the capital, where he was called to attend an important hearing.
 The impression prevails that he will return to the district the first part of next week and it is quite probable that martial law will pre- vail in the district as a result of his return.
 Since his departure no steps have been taken by the strikers or mine managers looking toward settle ment, both sides apparently being willing to await a statement from the Governor as result of his inves- tigations here.
 President Mover stated to an Era representative on Thursday after noon that upon the departure of the Governor from the district he would probably be ready to issue a state ment to the press on behalf of the Western Federation, but up to the time of going to press he has not done so.
 MicheIena Ordered Out.
 On Monday morning last Pedro Michelena, at one time recorder of Graham county, and who has been in the district since the strike was ordered, coming here from Solomon vile, was waited on by a crowd of strikers, composed of Americans and Nj exicans and politely but firmly in- formed that he was not wanted in this district He was under suspicion of being a spy for the mine mana
