CLIFTON, Ariz. Feb. 11-Nearly 1000 copper company employees walked out at the plants of the De- troit Copper Company and the shan non Copper company in the Clifton Morenci district today, causing a complete shutdown of the smelter, mills and mines of the Detroit, and badly crippling the operations of the shannon whose concentrator and teacher is idle. While not more than loo men in the employ of the Shannon are out, the closing down of the concentrator and teacher, if continued any length of time will ne cessitate the closing down of the entire plant or the substitution of an entirely new force to operate them.
 The latest strike which has not yet become general, but which is of such proportions as to cause serious ap- prehension throughout the district, was precipitated when two union men were discharged by the mine super intendent of the Detroit Company on complaint of two union miners who claimed that the union men had threatened them with bodily harm if they appeared at the mines again without first having secured union

cards. The men upon being dis charged, reported to the executive committee of the miners, and a dele gation visited the superintendent de- manding the reinstatement of the discharged employees This demand was refused and at o'clock this af- ternoon about 900 men of the De- troit company walked out and an nounced they would not return to work until their companions had been reinstated.
 The original trouble occurred at the Ryerson shaft of the Detroit company and it is said the non-u union men, upon appearing there after be- ing first ordered to secure union cards, were ordered away from the shaft.
 At the shannon plant yesterday seventy-five to one hundred men left the concentrator and teacher. The mines and smelter of the Shannon company are, still running.
 So far the walkout has not af- fected the Arizona Copper company The men say they are determined that the discharged men shall be reinstated before they will return to work. There has been no disorder in the district because of this new strike

GARRISON CONE CONGRESS WILL
 AGREE ON PLAN
Both Houses Now United on Preparedness Plans The Ranking Member of Re Klblicans Offers Resolu- tIon of Confidence
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Feb IA new note of harmony and cooperation on national defense problem was struck in the house military committee today as a direct result of the resignation of Secretary Garrison of the war depart ment. It found expression in the adop- tion Ot d resolution declaring the com mittee's appreciation of the confidence President Wilson reposed in it and in the senate committee as disclosed in his correspondence with MT. Garrison
 The non partisan character of the feeling was emphasized by the fact that the resolution was offered by Representative Kahn of California ranking republican member of the committee.
 Members of both the congressional committees declared that the war sec retary's withdrawal has brought out sharply the presidents desire that congress should work out it's army problems in the light of it's own best judgment. despite his personal pref erence for the continental army scheme advocated by Mr Garrison and the army war college. The net result. they agreed. was clarification of the congressional atmosphere and the as surance of support for the bills that will be drafted from elements of both sides that heretofore had counted against the measures.
 Ir substance. it is believed, the bills will represent an effort to make ef- fective virtually all of the plans of the war department with the exception | that liberalization of the national | guard will be sought as a substitute for the continental army plan.
 Final steps toward beginning the drafting of the measure were taken by both house and senate committees to- day Both will take up the work Mon l day and it is planned to hold all day sessions whenever the business of tive houses will permit. The house com mittee brought to close today public hearings on army plans.
 | Present indications are that the
 house bill will lay its stress upon pro visions designed to federalize the na tional guard, while the senate commit
 tees main effort will go into the regu-
 lar army angles of preparedness plans The final measures sent to the presi-
 dent for his signature will be a com promise, it is thought each house be ing willing to accept the judgment O
 the other to,a large extent in it's oWr particular field.
 The house bill. it is expected. vii provide for payment of nationa
 gua.dsmen who comply with all regu
 lations laid down by congress on
 basis sufficiently liberal to insure thu
 recruiting of approximately i0o0 0o
 men. the ultimate size of the propose'
 continental army.

Garrison left off. ] It is intimated by his friends, however. that he may select some one not yet mentioned publicly in connection with the position.
 1 The president spent several hours to- 1 day in going over the qualifications of various men suggested. A cabinet meeting was held. but MT. Wilson did ] not seek advice on the subject there. ! Tonight he attended a dinner given in ! his honor by Postmaster General Bur
