Supplies thus furnished are entirely gratis, and tf.c companies are not to hold cost from -Lc uav checks of the recipients after operations gre resumed. The strikers f.rirt out that the permanency of the camp indicates the companies expect The El PasO negotiations to result in nothing.
 The strikers are also suspicious that the companies have agents among the NcNicans trying to arouse race an taEarism by recalling the campaign for the eighty per cent law. They say that 'Biddy'' Doyle and James S. Casey, who left Morenci by invitation on Wed acS.ias-. used the eighty per cent law as an argument to induce the Mexicans to break away from the American leaders and ioin the Duncan colony.
 Fsa,e feeling has been entirely absent from the strike thus far and the strik- CTS deeply resent this alleged attempt of The companies to create antagOnism
 Thirty Mexican strikers from Mo- ronri joined the Duncan colony today. Tc IS supposed they were furnished tickets by Casey and Doyle.
