BISBEE Aug. S.-SiX men, appointed by the Arizona State Federation of La bor in convention at Clifton, to investi- gate the deportation of more than 1 100 men from the Warren district July 12 and labor conditions in this camp at present, were today refused admission to the district The delegation, which was coming to this city in an automo- bile from Douglas, was met at Forrest Ranch, several miles from Bisbee, and informed that any other than legal investigation was not wanted at this time.
 Though the Workmen's Loyalty League and the Citizens Protective League of Bisbee deny all connection with the action of refusing the labor leaders admittance, it is admitted that some of the members of each organiza- tion participated in the affair.
 This afternoon the executive commit tee of both organizations declared that the visitors were coming with chips on their shoulders and that, inasmuch as the situation was being investigated by the attorney general no other inves- tigation was needed. The committees also passed a resolution, which after stating that the speech of one of the labor leaders in Clifton had placed the state federation "squarely in sympathy with the I. w. w closed by stating that we reiterate that our stand is un- alterably opposed to the l. w. Wand their sympathizers and not against the State Federation of La bor, as such; but We refuse to be blinded by the palpable fraud practiced on legitimate and patriotic union labor and declare that we will continue to scrutinize the motives of any one who desires to re-encumber the Warren district with l. w.

 Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, who is here Investigating local condi- tions, was apprised of the affair short ly after it occurred He transmitted a report of the occurrence immediately to Governor Campbell.
 The attorney general would make no statement as to his intentions.
 Sheriff Harry C. Wheeler was not in Bisbee today and the heads of the two local leagues refused to make state ments other than the resolution passed

LAWS0N- LEHMAN CONTEST WORRYING
 LABOR CONVENTION
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BOULDER, Colo, Aug. S.-The ex- pected contest between supporters of John R. Lawson and John McLennan for the presidency of ,ne Colorado State Federation of Labor cast it's shadow over the annual convention here to- day in the shape of bitter contest over the seating of Clint c. Houston editor of the Denver Labor Bulletin as d delegate to the convention.
 James F. Moran, leading the fight against seating Houston, charged in a speech from the floor of the conven- tiOn that Houston had accepted two contracts for S200 each from the Colo rado Fuel and Iron company for his services in minimizing reports con- corning an impending strike. He ex- hibited photographs of checks to back up his assertion. Moran is acling president of district 15, United Mine Workers of America.
 Edward L. Doyle and John R. Lawson rallied to the defense of the labor editor in long speeches at the after noon session and the convention ad- journed until tomorrow with the mat ter of the seating of Editor Houston still pending. Contests also are pend : ing against six other delegates to the convention.

aTHE LESSON OF THE HOUR

| That page adv of the Barre Business
| & Manufacturing association, Dept, ID,
Barre, Vermont, in the Saturday Even
| ing Post for March II, marks depart
ure for a product of the Green Mountain
state. Content in the past to do a state
wide business, it now seeks nation wide
for customers and in so doing points
the way to other big producers, notably
those in the slate and marble industries,
to exploit their products, the thing need
ed to lead them to fame and fortune.
All that marble and slate producers have
to do is to learn their lesson and the les
son of the hour is to advertise-Fair Ha-
ven Era.
The sentiment which the contemporary
gives voice to is undoubtedly well ground
ed; the industries of Vermont must go
into the publicity field in order TO keep
pace with the business worlds progress.
The days when we can sit back and let
our goods sell themselves, excellent as
those goods may be, are past; Others are
advertising and pushing their goods to
the fore through publicity although their
products are not as good as or no better
than those which Vermont produces. A
great many Vermont products might
double and perhaps redouble their sales
by means of well-placed advertising,
much along the lines taken up by the
Barre producers of granite masterpieces.
However, it deserves to be stated in
correction OF an apparent misapprehen-
sion on the part of the Fair Haven con-
that the Barre granite out. !
put has not for scores of years been con
fined to the state of Vermont. We have
been selling Barre granite all over the
continent for long period. and much Of
it has even gone TO foreign countries. |

themselves inferior to the combined Brit
ish. French and Belgian armies arrayed
against them otherwise, the Germans
would have tried to hold their ground
at all points Further than that, it is
difficult TO speculate with much chance
of hitting at the truth of the situation.
There is no doubt that the British and
the French have been piling up munitions
and men with view TO great often
sive movement over long stretch OF the
front just as soon as the opening up Of
the spring weather would permit; and it
is to be presumed that the accumulations
of munitions and men were located at
points opposite the present retreating
lines of the German army. The retire
ment means that the British and French
must move their great guns and their
erably ahead in order to place them in
line for effective attack. while all the
other preparations for attack will have
to be done over again. This would serve
to put off the attack for time and to
disarrange the scheme OF the British and
French to a considerable extent. 1t is
possible that the German retirement may
mean great attack at some unexpected
quarter; and it is possible also that the
fear of revolution in Germany, following
the successful movement of revolt in
Russia, caused the kaiser to call back
certain elements Of his great army, so
that he and his regime would have ready
protection in case of dire need. These
last two theories are mere speculation
and one is as good as the other it now
seems. The next few months are likely
to bring forth the truth Of the situation;
but for the present it is certain that the
Germans feel their inferiority in men
and in munitions on the western front.

Barre never was content to do merely .
state wide business" and, in fact, never
has done merely a statewide business
since the early days OF the industry.
What Barre is doing now by means OF
national advertising. so called, is TO
broaden the scope of the continent wide
sale of Barre granite and TO put the
product in other countries, too. There
are few sections OF the United States in
which Barre granite products are not TO
be found, and it is to reach those few
places and to stimulate the demand in
other parts that the very attractive adj
vertising matter is being set before mill
lions of people through the medium Of
great magazines. In view of the satis-
factory assurances of results from that
advertising, we strongly commend sim
liar efforts to many other lines OF in
dustry in Vermont, being convinced that
it would mean the booming Of Vermont
commercially.

New Hampshire ought to be lined up
strongly in favor of change in the date
of Inauguration to time in real spring
because that state has already lost one
congressman by reason of sickness con-
tracted during the Inauguration exer-
cises and is likely to lose an ex-senator
and one of her most distinguished sons
through the same treachery of the inaug-
uration weather. The two occurrences
furnish quite a powerful argument for
the placing of presidential Inauguration
ahead at least as far as April.

WHY NOT. "BILL"7

This paper has not been doing
much in a political way since the
new management has been in charge,
just for the simple reason that we
can not believe that it is good poll
tics to ever be pounding away at the
political game, but there has come to
our notice, lately, material that we
deem sufficient unto all criticism that
we have been able to anticipate, for
the Office of sheriff of this county for
the coming year. The man we have
in mind is a Democrat, the steady,
consistent, safe, sane Democrat; he
is able, possesses keen sense of
justice, and has the will power, the
tact, the reasonableness so essential
for such an officer as sheriff of a
county like Seward; he has executive
ability, and his industry, his energy,
is not doubted by his many friends.
Such is the person that we find in
Mr.. w. H. Graves, of the South Side
Machine Shop.
For considerable time the writer
has been observing Mr.. Graves and
finds that he has many good friends
in the city and as many faithful
friends among the farmers of the
county. We have not talked with
Mr.. Graves abuot this and we do not
know that he would even entertain
the idea of becoming a candidate, but
this article is intended as "feeler"
If he does not start a>conflagration
about these premises, we shall con-
clude that we have not committed
any Serious offense; and then we will
declare our intention to support his
candidacy for the nomination from
the springtime to the date in August
when the primaries will be held.
We have been informed that there
will be other candidates for the NOM
nation, but those we have discov-
cred will not poll the votes that Mr..
Graves will control should he con-
clude to enter the race.

CAR SITUATION is
MUCH IMPROVED

Encouraging news of the car situa-
ton, and thereby indirectly OF the
fuel situation, was brought back on
Tuesday by Emerson Carey, state
fuel administrator, who spent the
weekend in Pittsburg and Tope ka on
business connected with his office.
Senator Carey sat with the state
commissioners of public utilities at
Pittsburg, to hear the complaints of
smaller mine owners to the effect that
the railroads were favoring the larg-
err shippers at their expense. It was
brought out that while this may have
been the case up until three weeks
ago, the railroads we're now giving
everyone the same sort of treatment
and making no discrimination be-
tween large and small operators.
Railroad officials have promised to do
their very best, and the commission
reserved judgment for the time be-
ing.
Railroad fuel agents met with the
administrator in Topeka and showed
very commendable spirit of fairness
and desire to do the right thing. They
not only undertook to give coal cars
preference OH all TOduS, DuI Ill Cdoe
of absolute emergency to guarantee
that certain cars of coal should not
be confiscated by the railroads, as
permitted by law, but allowed to
reach their destinations. They fur
thermore offered to cooperate with
the fuel administration by sharing
their own coal, when possible, in case
of an acute and dangerous shortage.
"The coal situation in general"
Senator Carey said Tuesday, ''is not
much changed. Fewer people are out
of coal than were two weeks ago, al
though there is actually much less
coal in the state now. Reserve stocks
have been drawn on that were then
intact. What coal there is, is more
equally distributed The car situa-
