NEWSPAPER MAN SUMS UP STRIKE SITUATION
 IN FORCEFUL MANNER

velopments, apparently interested not at all in the nebulous demands on which they were called out and with few manifestations of bitter ness toward their former employ CTS.
 Unkempt Agitators Control.
 It is a study in psychology, rath- CT than in economies. There is no commanding leader. The sit uation has been controlled by a group of a half-dozen rather un- kempt sort of men, gathered in a lodging house room, full of zeal in their propaganda possibly sincere, frank to state that their aim is the tearing down of all property rights and the substitution of a condi- tion where the meanest and least schooled yokel shall have the same voice and the same wage as the gentlest bred scholar or the most skillful artisan. They seem to care little for their own de- mands, which call for a miners wage only 15 cents a day above the rate now paid on the basis of 30-cent copper, for no reduction of wage when copper falls, and for a variety of rather minor internal regulations.
 War "Wall Streets Fight"
 They cast aside as immaterial any consideration of the war that threatens the very life of the na- tion whose protection they have claimed, casually referring to it as Wall Streets fight" While it is possible that the nationwide agi- tation is fostered and even fi- nanced by traitorous or alien in fluences, it is hardly likely that the local representatives have any direct knowledge of such condi- tions, or even interest in it. They are happy in their day of leader ship and in its opportunities to eX- change the soap box for the ample forum of a city park, so generously provided by money that mainly came from the corporations whose industry they seek to destroy.
 They're Regular Soap Boxers.
 They are orators-no doubt of it. But their batter is that of the usual run of soap box agitators, full of references to the grinding of the people by the bloated mon- opolies that are sucking the life blood of labor. Bisbee has been as well fed up on that sort of thing lately as most western com munities, but the shirt-sleeved and suspendered apostles have a con stant audience of faithful Gisci- pies.
 Call Themselves "Wobblies."
 The strikers are to be divided about equally into two classes those who wanted to strike and those who did not. A proportion of the willing quitters already were members of the I. w. w.. who rather rejoice in their self-given appellation of "WDbblies." They are of the type from which comes the tramp. Most of them are of recent arrival, put at work as "muckers," with little reference to qualifications underground, for the mining companies have needed all the men they could secure to fill the maws of the immense furnaces to be fed in the shelter town of Douglas.
 Are Called "FIoaters."
 In the mining parlance, these men are known as ''floaters" or ten day men," Here it happens that very large percentage are aliens. Very generally they are not voters, fact due partially to their itinerancy. Very much in evi- dence among them are individuals plainly lacking in education, thrift or ambition, who look forward to the golden day when by law all men shall be declared equal in earning value and in social stand ing. It is common enough type.
 The Very Same Old !. w. w.
 It is the same that was driven from San Diego by it's business men few years ago; that raided the hop fields Of northern Cali fornia and that lately used force in the invasion of Everett, Wash; that occasionally captures rail road freight trains; that estab- fishes 'mulligan" camps by the roadside but never establishes homes.
 Hold Property Rights in Con
 tempt.
 Contemptuous of property rights and destructive by habit, its lead CTS yet claim to be advocates of pure socialism and indignantly de- ny charges that they are anar- chists. Mouthpieces of the profes- sionally poor. they are followed by their kind. In instance, this morn ing, before the Copper Queens office building, a passerby was stopped by a stout young man, who, with metropolitan expertness in the craft of 'mooching," asked, "lsnnlhn'f Nnn snare a bit Of
