TRAITORS AT HOME,
 ENEMIES ABROAD
(Los Angeles Times.)

America has drawn upon millions of her young men for an army, has taken from her vaults billions for a Liberty Loan, has levied upon her farms for a worlds commissary, has clamped an embargo upon exports, has summoned all industry to the work of war and set herself either to crush and overwhelm Germany, or, with the rest of democracies, to be Prussianized like Belgium and northern France by the goddess hosts of the War Lord
 But on our own soil is an enemy, swearing by oft-repeated oaths to per Detuate all the destruction that YiO- fence can wreck, preaching revolution and invoking anarchy; yet our govern ment has taken no official recognition of these williams. the I. w. WIS. Our soldiers are in France, our engineers in Russia, our sailors in hourly peril stand guard on the North Sea, and hun dreds of thousands are training and millions are waiting to go, and fight win-die. But from Butte to Bisbee, from Seattle to Leadville, that inter national organization filled with for eigners, officered by convicts, and at tempting vaguely to guise it's sabotage behind the spacious title of Industrial Workers of the World" is in open warfare against our government; and as yet no stern measures have be- tOkened that our American leaders realize the danger or even the signifi- canoe of this whirlwind of threats and strikes in those mining districts from which America and her allies are drawing the wars supply of copper.
 The l. w. WIS have a long and vi- cious record. They are committed by the orly oath that ever kept to indus trial violence. Their agitators are for the most part foreigners; and the hat red towards our government may be traced in many of them to jail sen tences following such indiscretions as theft and burglary. Within the past few weeks they have been apprehend- cd while trying to set on fire the rip ened grain fields of the northwest; {; they have stirred up strikes in the mining districts of Arizona and Mon- tana; and they are now busily pre- pairing trouble in Colorado and in the mine fields of Pennsylvania. They have disclosed a plot to tie up all forms of industry in the state of Wash

SURPRISING
 THE l. w. w.
Chicago Tribune.)


 It is difficult to speak with any moderation of the outrageous eruption of the l. w. w. in the far west. It is nothing less than rebellion, and the most effective means of suppressing rebellion is to apply little of that direct action" which is the favorite diversion of the l. w. W.'s.
 There is no question of free speech involved The l. W. W. does not in- tend to accomplish it's treacherous aims by anything so feeble as speech; they scorn the ballet box They are against the war, and their method of making known their protest is by burning our grain, restroying our lum- Der, and blowing up freight trains. They seek to make converts not by argument, but by threats and intimi- dation.
 We read that western towns are seeking to deport these rebels. In the old days we can imagine more drastic measures would have been taken. | ut N6SItEHtlS were HdHNS NliH llC rope and the gun in those days. We are not counseling lynch law. but we think deportation is too mild punish ment.
 We are too civilized" to apply the old Roman law-"spare the conquered and extirpate the rebels"-but at least we could intern them. The British have found it practicable to put Ger man prisoners to work at useful em ployment Why couldn't we do the same thing with our rebel I. w. W.'s?
 It is announced the war department stands ready to take ''any action" in suppressing the western disturbances. We believe the action should be swift and severe. Any weakness would in vite more riot and anarchy.

Calumet (Michigan) Gazette)
 The deportation of l. W. w. follow CTS from the Bisbee and Jerome camps is typical of an aroused public sentiment against traitors in the dis tricts where these enemies have shown their hand.
 And in our own copper country citizens are no less determined in op- position to enemies of the govern ment.
 The tremendous force of public opin- ion will stamp out incipient anarchy in the district.
 Full expressian will be given the motto of the Citizens Alliance. There can be no compromise with treason.
 There is no patience with agitators working in the interests of the na- tion's foes. It is time to call halt.
 The l. w. w. must go.

ington, and make no pretense of theil
 purpose to spread strikes from ocean
 to ocean. They talk of freedom and
 equality for the workingman, of high
 CT wages, and all 'that-and all that
 yet in this crucial hour they bend all their efforts to aid the monarchy where workingmen are disenfran- chised, where wages are small and eaten by taxation that goes to hered- itary aristocracy.
 A stupid delusion, as the citizens of Bisbee, led by Sheriff Wheeler, have forcefully and periodically indicated. Twelve hundred l. w. WIS. were de- ported from Bisbee and among them was no man who wanted work The work was there, workers were needed, and as each l. w w. was driven into the box car he was offered the chance of a job. Twelve hundred refused to la bor and were run out of the country driven out in an orderly and peaceable manner by citizens who knew that ruin and disaster awaited their community if these ruffians and agitators were not suppressed and deported.
 And the citizens of Cochise county, Arizona, have written a lesson that the whole of America would do well to copy. In these days America cannot afford to trifle with rioters Every family in Europe is on rations; food dictator rules our American supplies: all industry is running with furnaces at full blast to mee+ the needs of war; and those who refuse not only to do their part, but seek to hamper others and to destroy food crops, close down mines, wreck industry and set the. na- tion aflame with riot, should be given the short shrift of traitors.
 If there ever was case where the doubtful expedient of taking the law into the hands of those not lawfully to execute it, this is one.

It were ever thus. These people have a contempt for the law only when
 the law is involved to protect the rights of others. They have most wholesome respect for the law and for the government when their own hides are in danger. They are anachists only so far as they think anacrhy will further own interests They would divide up the property of others-but anything that jeopardizes their own rights and comfort, they insist, shall be prevented, and prevented promptly, by a government they are bent upon abolishing.
 They are a sneaking, whining set of scrubs-without even sufficient prin- ciple to stand up for their own doc trines when the pinch comes. The law requires that they shall be pro- tected, and doubtless they will be perfected; but some way should be speedily found of dealing with them as they deserve The enemy aliens among them should be weeded out and sent to interment camps; aliens of all lied or neutral nations should be de- ported to their own countries. The American citizens in their ranks should behave in time of war, and if they persist in their seditious conduct they should be punished as traitors. This l. w. w. thing has gone far enough. It has long passed the stage of nuisance and is fast becoming a menace. The government should wake up and take such action as will ren- der unnecessary such uprisings of a patriotic but exasperated citizenry as occurred in Bisbee and the Warren District of Arizona last week.

THE WORM TURNS

Arizona Star, PhOeniX)
 The action of the people of Bisbee in deporting the disturbing I. W. w. element was simply the delayed re- course to the last resort It was the logical. certain development of the dilly-dally policy of toleration and ne gotiation with an element whose defi- ance demeaned the negotiating author ity. The use of troops 10 guarantee Co workingmen the right to do work for the daily bread of their families was restricted by timidity and quibbling over legal technicalities.

band and maintain them in a concen- tration camp as potential enemies, who have been working in the inter- ests of the nations foes.
 It is notabel that the grand round up was under charge of Sheriff Wheel CT, of COchise county, former Rough Rider, and former captain of the Ari- zona Rangers, only lately returned from the San Francisco officers re- serve training camp. By proclamation he assumed full responsibility for the clearing out of these strange men who have congregated here for the purpose of harassing and intimidating all men who desire to pursue their daily toll, in a direct attempt to en- barrass the government of the United States" He therefore called upon all loyal Americans to aid in the arrests contemplated, announcing that already he had sworn in posse of 1000 men in Douglas and 1900 in Bisbee. It is notable that in every county affected by l. w. w. movements. the sheriff is standing steadfast in opposition. Gov. Campbell feels it his duty to protest against the illegal deportations, and has asked military assistance. It is believed improbable, however, that the greater number of the men sent out ever will return to Bisbee, where the mines now will be worked without fur ther interference.

in several instances, and this atti- tude tended to hamper the initiative of departmental military commanders, who had instructions to send troops to preserve order at any point where. in the opinion of those in authority, it was deemed necessary. The result of this conflict or confusion of authority was that nothing was done. In the meantime, mistaking inaction for toleration, the I. w. w. grew bolder and bolder. Authority was openly flouted. Threats were made, to intimi- date workingmen who desired to work, that their homes would be blown up. Elected officials were threatened by imported agitators. In brief. the native citizenship was in state of subjugation-or it seemed so.
 The situation that existed at Bisbee is told by Sheriff Harry Wheeler in a proclamation issued yesterday, from which the following is taken:
 ''I am continually told of threats and insults heaped upon the working men of this district by so-called strik- CTS who are. strangers to these parts, yet who presume to dictate the man. ner of life of the people of this dis trict. Appeals to patriotism do not move them nor do appeals to reason. At a time when our coutry needs her every resource. these strangers persist in keeping from

A
 GERMAN PLOT

Special Story Sent to Coast Papers
 by Phoenix Correspondent.)
 A curious commentary upon the in- adequacy of legal procedure is the fact that in many Arizona communities veritable vigilance committees have had to be organized to repel an inva- sion that threatened the life of the states principal industry. Ordinary laws are inadequate and their efnorce- ment would have been idle, even ridic- ulous. The raiders would more than have filled all the jails of Arizona, and their support in idleness would have bankrupted the counties had i'm prisonment been adjudged them. That a deliberate campaign was planned against Arizona is evident There is local belief that it has been financed by German money. though no direct evidence can be secured that such has been the case This assumption is denied by Haywood, the 1. w. w. leader. and by the local heads, who tell that they maintain themselves and their work only by local contributions, mainly dues and initiation fees.
 Then came the tremendous clean up at Bisbee. where the Citizens Pro tective association and the Workmen's Loyalty league. several thousand strong. loaded nearly 1900 members of the l. w. W'upon twenty-two cat tie cars and ran them on the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad. past the mil itary camp at Douglas. into New Mex ico. Every alleged "disloyal" individ- ual in Bisbee was hunted down and searched for the little red card of his affiliation It is hoped that the United States will take charge of the deported

IN LEAGUE WITH
 ENEMIES OF U. 5.
(skilIing's Mining Review)

Dispatch from Denver quotes Chas. H. Mover, head of the International Union of Mine. Mill and Shelter Workers, as charging the l. W. w with participation in a nationwide conspiracy to close the copper mines ot the United States. The I. w. w.. he says, now have plenty of money. whereas but a short time ago they were not plentifully supplied Mr. Mover leaves the natural inference that this money has been supplied by enemies of the United States and that the I. W. W. are the pliant tools of traitors.
 The l. W. W. never have even pre- tended to be friends of the Stars and Stripes Always they have been op- posed ro American institutions They are anarchists at heart. The l. w. w, by preaching and preceht, are despoil- CTS. They pretend to je the friend of labor, which is not true. That the l. w. w. are in league with the enemies of this country is no wide stretch of the inauguration. The l. W. W. orga-,.- zation is directed by alert, cunnf-, and interruptions leaders. whose un written motto is, get the money. The ignorant and the industrious who fols low their leadership are dupes. The 1. .~W w. do not mistake license for liberty, as some people assume. but they take advantage of a country which has allowed them to make the substitution ro attain selfish ends and breed discontent and revolutionary doctrine. Not all Socialists are l. W. W. but all I. W. W. are Socialists to all intents and purposes. and more daring. The Socialist that Is not in

COCHISE SHERIFF
 ON RIGHT TRACK
(New York Times)


 The secretary-treasurer of the 1. w. w. vehemently denies that German influence and German money were be hind the copper mine strikes" in Ari. zona, Montana and elsewhere in the west. The movement" of these gentle souls is simply an effort to get liv- ing wages and just working conditions for our miners" Does the secretary of the Duluth local of the l. w. w. express it's economic tenets when he calls $3 a day bum pay" but satis- factory to the l. W. W. because it's members do bum work?" It Is strange that they condescend to work at all
 Further west, in half dozen states, they are truer to the I. w W gospel. They are roaming about in bands mak- ing trouble. They are committing sa botage in the mines, the sawmills, the wheat fields. If their passion for mis Chief is not fomented and paid for by German agents, at any rate it's fruits are for German benefit It is intoler able that these itinerants of anarchy should infest great regions of the west stir up internal disorder in time oi war, reduce the production Of copper, shut up lumber camps, stir up strikes threaten the destruction of crops. The whole performance is for the advant- age of Germany and the detriment of the United States, whatever the mo tives of this motley collection of dis

APPEAL TO THE
 LAW THEY SCORNED
(El Paso Times.)

The spectacle of the Industrial Workers of the World, who are being housed and fed at Columbus, N M., at the expense of the American peo- pie, appealing to the authorities for protection and for troops to escort them back and protect them at Bis bee, is just what might be expected. These people never lose an oppOrtun- ity to show their contempt for the law; they are opposed to the Ameri- can system of government; their spokesmen declare loudly that they have no interest in the war further than to use it for their own selfish ad- vantage; they are anarchists, and they glory in their contempt for all orderly government; they preach sabotage and destruction of the prop erty of others; they threaten to burn up the wheat crops of the nation and bring about a famine in the land And yet. with this record fresh in the minds of the public. these people do not hesitate, when they think their own rights have been violated, to call upon the law they scorned; to call upon the very government they were so lately threatening to overturn; they even call upon the army-which they constantly denounce as an instrument of tyranny-to reinstate them in the homes from whence they were driven by an outraged populace.
 They will appeal to the courts. they say, and ask for damages from those who had hand in driving them from the community they threatened with ruin They will demand justice.

THE BISBEE SYSTEM
(Duluth. Minn.. Heraldl

NDAAA1hr AAOAoAuy
 There is one thing, at least, that comments the Bisbee plan of dealing with the l. w. w. menace-it works, at least so far as the town that uses it is concerned.
 Bisbee, apparently, was a prosper ous mining town full of busy mines and smelters and well paid and contented workers. Entered then the l. w. w., engaged in a peculiar business of shut ting down mines all over the country, wherever it can reach them, that are putting out products vitally needed by a nation at war.
 These agents of disorder and idle ness and violence and deprivation did not wear spiked helmets and iron crosses, but perhaps that is because it was considered indiscreet to do so
 Bisbee contemplated the spectacle thoughtfully for a day or two. Then, one morning, 1500 of ;ts miners, mer- chants and professional men turned out, armed and officially deputized nerded together the carriers of the red ticket and the firebrand, marched them into cattle cars and sent them on their way.
 There is another point in this inter- esting incident; it teaches the alien disturbers who constitute the l. w. w. and who are doing some of the work of the kaiser in America, valuable lesson in geography. It teaches them that the west, one-time home of the Vigilantes, is not to be trifed with.

PRESIDENT WILL
 FIND A WAY
(Phoenix Gazette)

k1uOeulA OdLell6J
 It is a fact the president is doing everything in his power for Arizona in this crisis; as soon as asked he sent troops to Globe Now the president is taking care of the deported l. w. W.'s so they cannot go back and bother the city of Bisbee, best of all the presi- dent is detaining in that camp one, Bill Cleary. It is safe to say the presi- dent is doing just as much as any oth- CT man could do under the circum- stances. Most people know the presi- dent has considerable outside of Arizona to look after and direct these days. The matter of preparing a few million men for the battlefront in France is no small matter. Not hay ing any particular law with which to handle all of the strikes, made pos sible by such people as Haywood, Mother Jones, Emma Goldman. Hunt and Mover, he is simply doing the very best which can possibly be done. In our opinion the president will find way to take care of the undesirables as fast as they are run out of the differ ent mining camps and other places where trouble is started. The people of Arizona owe the president great debt of gratitude for his prompt action in these matters.
 The Loyalty league of Phoenix should round up few l. w. W.'s and their particular friends and deport them to the camp near Columbus, N. M.

ENOUGH COAL PROVIDED.
eBy Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, July iS.-Coal op- orators of four eastern states at con ference here today assured govern ment officials they would meet all the governments coal needs and that they would furnish amounts allotted to them by an agency the government might name. The question of prices was not considered, although Secretary Dan iels, in speech appealing to their pa triotism, declared the operators should come forward in the same spirit as shown by the men who don uniforms and go to France. Prices will be fixed after the federal trade commission completes it's investigation of coal pro- duction costs.

l. w. w. ANARCHISTS.
Albuquerque JournaD


 Outraged citizens of Bisbee. Ariz., deported about 1900 members of that pIofessedly lawless organization known as the Industrial Workers of the World. The unfortunate part of it all is that the deported people were dumped into New Mexico.
 The l. w. w. organization has Ions made a specially of trying to insult the American flag. The members pro fess opposition to all law. They seize other peoples property as though it were their own. They board trains in numbers large enough to overawe the trainmen and go where they please. Not infrequently 40 or 90 of them en- ter a restaurant, eat all the food on hand and refuse payment. When strong enough they resist officers Of the law, and on several occasions they have killed policemen and deputy sheriffs.
 But when citizens, as in San Diego some years ago and in Bisbee few days ago, take the law into their own hands, then the Industrial Workers in stead of being game. whine and cringe and appeal to the president of the United States for protection under thei constitutional guarantees.
 So long as the regular army has the anarchists in hand at Columbus the matter ceases to be of special in terest to the people of New Mexico. But those anarchists who are trying to stir trouble in Madrid and Gallup and other industrial centers of this state should be deported into Texas.
 The people of the Lone Star state have had long schooling in dealing with horse and cattle thieves. bandits and other undesirables.
