REDUCTION IN
 GREENLEE 0U0TA

A telegram to the Sheriff's office on Thursday from Gov. Campbell con- veyed the good news to Greenlee coun ty citizens that the draft quota of 344 men for the county had been re- duced to 161 or less than half. The reduction was brought about by peti tion protesting the injustice. of the allotment and signed by several hun dred names which were sent to Wash ington, as we'll as through the earnest endeavors of the local exemption board to have the number of men to be. drafted in Greenlee county reduc- ed.
 This move will greatly relieve the situation in the county and is a more just and fair apportionment, the aliens in the county by far outnum' bering the American citizens The long file of alien residents to the court house this week who are filing their exemption claims attests to the injustice of the former allotment and that if it had been allowed to stand it would have required practi- cally every able bodied man between the prescribed ages to have made up Greenlee county's quota. As it is, not over half the total registra- ton should be required to report be fore the quota is filled.
 The strong protests had the desir ed effect and everyone within the confines of the county feels that a great wrong has been lighted. On another page of the Era will be found the names of the first 690 men who will report for medical examina ton on Saturday. Monday and Tues day.

MEX|CANS FIGHT
 ALLEGED DUEL

Juan Garcia of Guthrie is being held in the county jail on an alleged charge of murder. Garcia has noth- ing much to say concerning the affair and the officers are forced to go on supposition.
 Garcia has made several admissions however, which are to the effect that about ten days ago he had an alter cation with another Mexican at Guth. rie and as a result they decided to fight duel to settle their difficulties. The affair of honor, which was pri vate, came off on schedule time and according to the survivor his foe was vanquished and his offending carcass thrown in the river, but the officers have been unable to locate the body in support of Garcia's al legged confession.
 The prisoners back is badly gash ed in several places which shows that he had been in a fierce encoun ter, and according to the theory oi the officers he was evidently clinch ed with his adversary and both were working on the others anatomy with telling effect.
 The facts have not been brought to light and it is not known at this time whether anyone of the Mexican residents of the Guthrie section has disappeared, The officers are work ing on the case in an effort to clear the mystery up.

BOOTH LEGGERS
 DEFY OFFICERS

R. A. Norton and Jas .Thurston were arrested on Wednesday after noon on charge of introducing li- quor into the state and are being held under 5000 bond each to await the action of the superior court. Bond has not been furnished at this time. The men had loaded their car with fourteen. cases of whiskey at Lords burg on Tuesday afternoon and pre- pared for the return trip. young man by the name of Herman Thomp- son from Morenci happened to be in Duncan on his way to the lower val 1 ley and when Norton and Thurston went through Duncan on their way to Lordsburg he asked them where they were going, and they told him to Globe after they made short busi- ness trip to Lordsburg.
 The men left Lordsburg with their precious cargo Wednesday morning early. Deputy Sheriff McCarty at Duncan was on to the fact that they were headed this way and lay in wait for them. In preparation for their coming he had blocked the road with a big log and as they approached he called for them to halt. They how ever, put on a burst of speed, clear ing the log nicely. McCarty fired SSNcIdi SuOtS at tue ucclue mdCuhc none of which apparently took ef- feet. He then returned to York and notified the sheriff's office by tele- phone to be on the lookout for the men. Deputies Moore and Young intercepted them a short distance from town and searched the car but found nothing of an discriminating na- ture. They let the parties proceed to town but kept them under surveil- lance. Thompson was in the car with them and on Wednesday after noon telephoned from Morenci to the sheriffs office, that he was in no wise implicated in the affair and he furthermore told the officers where the load of liquor was cached. The Clifton officers left for Duncan at
 once and found the fourteen cases
 of booze in a cache about two and a
 half miles from that place.
 Norton was formerly proprietor of the Oklahoma restaurant on Chase Creek and it is understood that Thurs
 ton up to a short time ago was en- ployed in a Clifton garage.

were named as the committee. The committee departed from Clifton by auto on Tuesday afternoon and on Wednesday morning were within eight miles of Bisbee when they were met by deputy sheriffs and turned back to Douglas Before departing for Bisbee Governor Campbell was advised by wire of the mission of the committee and the Governor in turn wired the Mayor of Bisbee to see that the committeeman were protect ed in their Constitutional rights. Nevertheless the committee failed to gain entrance into Bisbee and return ed to Clifton late Thursday afternoon.
 At the same session the convention adopted resolutions addressed to Con-
 gress asking for congressional in- i vestigation of labor conditions in i Arizona and another addressed to the i Governor asking that special session of the legislature be called for the
 same purpose.
 1 Worsley was the guest of the conven
 tion and delivered an address. Dur ! ing the course of his remarks Sena tor Worsley said:
 1 You can never have any substan | i you have class struggle: so long as
 the master and servant exist. Abol
 ish the master and servant entirely
 and live in cooperative world where
 mankind shall live for the benefit O each other and work for co-opera tion.
 We must go beyond the seas ant fight for democracy to dethrone Iii ,fyxy nr,r
 the seas has got one king, we hay,
 and the copper kings and the stee kings-T could not begin to mention them all.
 50 that we have now in it's mos
 acute form the class struggle. We have all over the world wars
 revolutions, strikes, lockouts. lynch ings and mob law and deportation.
 Deportation comes from wha source-from the organization of tn
 people who own the earth, and no : those who do not own the earth not from the workers comes this neN : law-but from those who own tn earth and it's resources. What for In an effort to perpetuate their pow CT and take from the worker grea,
 CT portion of the surplus product The thing that ought to bless us, rightfully used-the thing that ough to bring a paradise and all the thing that are good-the surplus, is ou greatest curse. Why? Because it ;; not used in the proper way. We hay allowed ourselves to be divided int two classes-master and servant" During Wednesdays session tell grams were received from labor O.
 ganizations throughout the countr pledging support to Arizona strikers : The National Suffrage Amendment il troduced in the convention by Mrs l. White, of Douglas, was endorsed. l. telegram was also sent to the D. . partment of Labor at the suggestio : of Delegate 'Leggett of Clifton r 7 questing the return ia mediator l the Clifton district and that it wa : the sense of the convention that ', mediator might be able to do som y good at this time.

one time stating that his services, were no longer required; on the en- velope was the usual notice to return in five days. Within five days my friend Casey was back on the job. The foreman came up to him and said what are you doing here?" you were discharged. Casey said sure 1 was discharged, but look here, don't that say return in five days
 Now, here I am year and half later to take up the wheel once more. was asked by a company official at one time why r had allied myself with organized labor and against the companies. l explained to him in this way: if he happened to be walk ing down a hot, dusty road, and had walked for miles, and a wagon came along and asked him to come in and ride, said would you not have climb ed on and ridden; that is just what I did. The wagon came along: I had been fighting for ten years; l was tired and you people came along
 with the wagon and I got in and
 right on the front seat at that
 reaching for the reins.
 l As there are several speakers to
 follow me, I am not going to take up much time: I am going to take up
 little of your time and turn the
 meeting over to the next speaker The one thing I want to discuss with
 you might be of some benefit to or
 ganized labor; a party was speaking
 to me yesterday in regard to the feasibility of cooperative store for organized labor; statistics show that
 very few of them have ever made a
 success. I am simply demonstrating
 to you that what. I say could be
 feasible. If every card man in the
 community would concentrate theil
 trade to any one store outside of the
 company store they would establish liust what organized labor has done
 in this town to certain extent
 During the last strike there was not
 a card man cut of of the books ol , our company due to the fact that he was out of work; at this time there
 is not a laboring man in the towT who had an account with us at oul
 place of business that has been cut off. If organized labor had backed l up that business house they would
 have encouraged the business of or ganized labor and they would certain ly have made a success of it; and il was running the business I would in turn do the same for all organized
 labor that l am doing for It today
 Tn other words, a man goes to tht , company stores and does bushes! with them for 15 years: they take i
 out of his salary; we gamble witl
 him; we have no check to take it ou
 of: we figure that they are all men believe any man would rather wall : up to the desk and pay his own ac :, count than to have anyone take it ou of his check I would like tO see ar :, ganized labor back up one mercantil, :, establishment, and I will make yol . this proposition: that if the entir Greenlee county labor district vii !, !, patronize the store that I might b. ] interested in for the next two year
 will carry any man through an, labor trouble he may have; an, when I am thru with it I will mak ' them a present of my stock in tn 2 concern-turn 1t over to the Arizon;
