(Continued from Page 1.)

nor can we say he is criminal who strives for the general welfare of those dependent upon him and for the liberty and freedom to which the con- stitution of this government grants him title. Such spirit was the spirit of our immortal revolutionary fore fathers
 "The Cry of Humanity"
 As this is written, hear the cheers of those people who are stalking their all in battle for justice, the cries of innocent children on the hillside, and the mute appeal of suffering women that their men may have courage. This is far greater than mere local disturbance. It is the great cry of humanity for justice, for truth, and for absolution from slavery. It is the old, old battlecry, which will never cease until this government and every other government on Gods earth is in reality a government "of the people, for the people, and by the people,"
 A Statewide Fight
 This strike is receiving the unani- nous support of almost every class of Arizona citizens The following letter is self explanatory:
 Miami, Ariz., Oct. 2, 1915.
 MT. G. s. Robertson,
 Clifton, Arizona.
 Dear Friend: I was never so pleased as upon hearing that you people had walked out on strike.
 You cannot realize the interest displayed here. The workingmen as a body realize that this is our fight as well as yours. We know that if you win there, we win the
 state, and that if you lose there, it will not be long before they hit us here.
 County and State Officers Sympathize
 You have all county and state officials as sympathizers and we
 will feed you as long as necessary
 to win. Every business man has or will assist. Two of the lead
 ing business men have offered us
 the receipts of one day at any
 time we will operate their places
 of business. That is the spirit
 found here. There is no company
 in the state able to win under
 such opposition. School child
 ren here and at Globe are out col
 lecting every cent possible for
 the support of labor in your dis trict. A little newsboy was here
 in the warehouse this morning
 and told me that half his profits
 go to Clifton to help the. strik-
 CTS. How is that for spirit. .,.
 I wish you people the best of
 success.
 Your friend,
 (Name given on request to G. S.. Robertson.)
 Statement of "Refugees."
 The Fl Paso Times reports the re- marks of l.. M. Banks, and MT. Neil, as stating that they would rather be in the heart of Mexico than in this district at the present time. I have known both of these men for the past two years and have always respected them until I read those re- marks, which could and probably have conveyed such false impression concerning the general condition in this district. However, I do happen to know that these two particular in dividuals would be unsafe here due to foolish things they have said and done here since the strike was call ed. However, we must consider that some men see no bread and but ter other than their own.
 Resents Phoenix Papers Attack.
 In regard to the statement of the and the criminal act or governor Hunt in sending 38 or 40 militiamen to this district ito be murdered by a bowling horde of frenzied strikers" will reply that governor Hunt is much better informed concerning the con- ditions here than the editor of the Gazette, and the people of Arizona feel fully confident that the gover- nor knows his own business better than the editor of a corporation owned publication. Furthermore we resent the vile remarks which have been couched in such disrespectful terms Is it not this editor who has displayed by far the most frenzy? Citizens, judge for yourselves. You have read the true conditions as stated in the above article.
 About the Refugees:
 AS to refugees, these people may be classified into four classes, viz:
