changed across the border here yester-
day between a patrol of American in
fantrymen and a detachment of Mex
leans, whether irregulars or some of
the regular troops of Carranza is not

fred on the Mexican side were from
regular Carranza soldiers, however, as
il is known that Carranza outpost has
been stationed in a section from near
which yesterdays volleys came.
Mexican Pepper Aeroplane
The shooting was started by the
Mexicans when an American army aero
plane made an ascent over Brownsville
As soon as the airmen appeared above
the skyline he became the target for
hundreds of shots, being forced to
descend. ~1.'...
A squad of American soldiers, guard
ing a light plant on the American side
of the Rio Grande, then became the
targets for the Mexieans and bullets
from across the Rio Grande began
striking in the vicinity of the Amer
lean guard. The soldiers scattered ia
cover and, returned the fire, the Mex
leans drawing back, There were nc
American casualties.
Three Mexican bandits have beer
killed by county officers at Los Qua

WALTER DOUGLAS DISCUSSES THE
 STRIKE

Some time after the inauguration of the labor strike in the Clifton-Mo- renci district by the Western Feder- ation of Miners the Mining and Scien- tific Press, in writing about the sit uation, criticised conditions in the dis trict and the wages paid. Walter Douglas, general manager of the Phelps-Dodge company, controlling one of the companies involved in the strike trouble, has written the follow ing statement of conditions in the strike zone at the time of the order ing of the strike and previous to that dime, which follows:
 The Editor:
 4Sir:-I have just received your is sue of November 6, and the editorial headed The Strike in Arizona" has been brought to my attention.
 in the volumes emanating from the editorial room of a scientific publica- tion of authority it is fair to expect that, whatever may be the individual opinion expressed, the facts on which it is based shall be unassailable. It is regrettable that through lack of knowledge of actual conditions exist ing in the Clifton-Morenci district prior to the strike, the assumptions md inferences in the article above re ferred to are alike misleading.
 You state that underground labor s paid as low as $1.75 per day on 13 cenL copper. During the depression of 1914, when copper sold for less than 13 cents per pound, it became necessary for the Detroit Copper Min ing company to reduce it's output anc economize in every possible mann. In order to maintain it's organization and avoid the necessity of throwing a large part of it's employees out oi work, it was arranged that reduc tion of wages below the normal should be made, and all employees were given work four shifts per week instead of six. Under these conditions the wages paid for a 7-hour shift fol Mexican miners was $2. 36 per day and for Mexican ''muckers" $1. ST American miners and ''muckers" re ceiving 50 cents higher pay.
 When in February last the marke price for copper reached 14 cents sliding wage-scale was put into efec which increased wages for every one cent raise in the price for the metal Therefore, when the strike was de clared on September Il Mexican min CTS in the district were receiving $2.7; ard "muckers' $2.13 per day of ' hours shift. This scale of wages 1E higher than that paid in any othei purely Mexican camp in the United States.
 You state that "the rate of wag es might not have precipitated a strike if the cost of living had not been in

Speaking of the strike conditions at Clifton, he said that he had learned of no new features regarding it recently. He said that he saw the news items about, a committee of Clifton and Morenci business men being named to call on the managers in Fl Paso in an effort to bring the strike to an end, but that he hardly expected that any thing more would come of it further than feiteration of the former posi- tion of the managers which was that work would not be resumed so long as the Western Federation of Miners dominate the district and until the men were willing to return to their

creased to the Mexicans by the fees exacted for hospital and water service and by compulsion to buy their food and clothes at the company store. ' Analysing this statement in accord ance with the facts; there was no in crease in the hospital fees, the em. ploye paying exactly the same amount to the hospital department, namely, S1 per month for a single man and S1 50 for a married man, as has been in force for years. The charge for water service, which is incorrectly as sumed to have been paid to the min ing companies, remained at $1 per house per month as formerly
 The employees of the large operat- f ing companies of the district are not compelled to deal at the company stores, but have the option of pur- chasing their food and clothing from merchants throughout the district,who are conducting their business inde- pendantly of any company control While it is an admitted fact that the store business of mining companies has been a cause of irritation with some employees, due to a lack of ap- preciation of what the company store means as factor in maintaining low prices and decent living conditions in mining communities, where there is competition by outside merchants the company store cannot but be bene- ficial to the wage earner. It has been fully substantiated that in mining camps in the southwest where no com pany stores exist the prices of the necessities of life are higher than where a large and efficiently managed mercantile branch of the mining con- pany is operated on a reasonable basis of profits. In the case of M'ren 0i the mercantile business conducted by the Phelps, Dodge Mercantile com pany, whose financial repcrtt Of opera tions is published in detail in the an nua1 statement ;f Phelps, Dodge (, Co.,, it shows that the net profit to the company for ,'le year 1914 was s 2S per cent on the gross sales and transfers.
 | You -1ake the statement that the Mexicans complain that the wages paid previous to the strike varied un- der different foremen. This com plaint, if made, has not reached head, quarters. It is so obviously absurd as
 to merit but little consideration. In large mining companies such as those flnNOlNSo III Illc ldUOI I . ferred to, the foremen do not set the mems rates of wages nor do they have anything to do with the payment thereof.
 As regards the ability of the min ling companies to pay higher rates ot
 wages, you state regarding the De troit Copper company, not much is
 known, it being a subsidiary of z
 much larger corporation, Phelps Dodge & Co.," It is surprising tha you should have expressed ignorance regarding this subject, as the annua
 statements of Phelps, Dodge & Co.
 are readily available, and the opera tions of each Of it's subsidiaries are
 separately reported. In fact, on refer
 ence to your files you will find that
 you analysed these operations last
 spring. The figures shown as net profits from the Detroit Copper Min

employment under the same condi- tions which prevailed prior to the strike.

ing company for the year 1911 is S602-, SIS. It might be interesting to state that the demands of the Western Fed eration leaders were for wage which would have increased the cost of pro ducing copper for that year by $10S,- 900.
 Admitting that as always the en- ployes of a large operating company have grievances, minor or otherwise, which it is proper and just should be given hearing and consideration, it is fact that in the present case the employees in the Clifton-Morenci dis l trict were receiving in August last higher wages than had ever before prevailed in the district, and prior to the organizers of the federation shut ting down the operations of the com panies, had made no requests for a meeting with the managers, nor had they presented any grievances what ever.
 The controversy between the com panies and their employees has been from the inception, and is today, sim ply whether the district shall be domi- hated by the influence of the Western Federation of Miners or shall continue as in the past to operate as an open D. lu0 Ol wage SCdI0 and other minor grievances have been interjected simply for popular effect and to obscure the issue, and do not alter the cardinal principle of union recognition.
 presume the conditions which in itiated and the subse1uent progress of this strike arc ehsolutely unique in ind strial Gispr tes between labor and capital. The miriag comp mics were freed to suspo nd operations by an active and aggressive minority who ter-oized their Deaceable employees, and that without having been given an opportunity to even hear, far less discuss, any quest tion of grievance. The mines and reduction plants were picketed and all representatives of the owners were a.aG have been since , September II refused admission even for inspection. Only by the departure of the managers from the state, ! through advice of their legal coun- i sel, has violence and outrage been minimized and the district now re- mains almost depopulated through the exodus, voluntarily or otherwise, of the law-abiding element of the people.
 Any commentary on political con- Gition which denies the protection of the law to the industry which has so actively developed the resources of the state would be superfluous.
