Governor Makes Statement

Governor Thomas Campbell declared tonight that he did not know whether or not German influence was behind the mine strikes in Arizona
 Tt makes no difference whether or not there is German influence behind these strikes" he said in his executive office at a local hotel. The fact is these strikes are directly aiding an enemy. of the United States-Germany by curtailing the production of cop- per-
 This statement was preliminary to the issuing of an extended statement to the Associated Press by Governor Campbell. This statement read in part as follows:
 "The labor situation in the Globe Miami district is grave and serious from the fact that two demands have been made upon the operators, one from the International Union of Mine Mill and Shelter Workers and another from the Industrial Workers of the World The strikes were called practi- cally simultaneously and became inn mediately effective, closing down every property in the district, so that today there is no production of copper com ing from a district that last year prom ised over two hundred and seventeen million pounds of copper The con- centrated efforts of both unions have been made against the Old Dominion Copper company, but the pumps there have been operated without cessation, due to the activities of those employees in the property
 This property is a very wet one pumping approximately four million gallons every tWantyfour hours, and stopping of the pumps for any con- ! siderable length of time would mean drowning the property It has been my policy, and will be, 10 see that this i property is kept free from water. With the citizens committee armed and the strikers in an enraged frame of mind. the situation was, in my opin- ion, sufficiently tense to add my con currence to recommendations made by the regular army officer, Major Bun del, sent from Douglas, Arz.. for that purpose-that troops be sent here. ; T believe that their presence in the district has averted a serious clash which would have only lead to loss ol life and greater complications of the already complicated conditions. Since their arrival the district has been reas- onably quiet, although various picket i lines have been maintained, and to { limited degree necessary supplies have been taken into the Old Dominion prop
 erty. I do not anticipate any violence now, although the situation still re-
 mains very greatly unsettled.

 Arrests are Made
 But six arrests have been made in connection with the strike during the past three days and only one since the arrival of the troops yesterday, it was officially announced at the sheriffs of flee tonight.
 The most critical moment of the present strike situation came on the af- ternoon of July fourth when the 300 special citizen deputies with bayonets fixed and guns leveled, forced a large crowd of mine workers, many of whom were said to have been armed, to clear Broad street Earlier in the day 14 armed deputies had run the picket line in motor truck and entered the Old Dominion property. They were made to return later by Governor Campbell who promised to- make them come out if permitted to take food to the pump men and others inside. the picket line The truck carrying the armed deputies broke down on Broad street, was sur rounded by 200 or more miners and threats made against the deputies. The main business street was crowded with spectators of the Fourth of July par ade at the time the special deputies appeared The crowd of miners was dispersed and the crisis passed
 E. s. Lacair, a special deputy sheriff, was knocked down al the Old Dominion escket line by a crowd of foreign min CTS. No arrests were made. He was only bruised on the face
 Strike leaders will be glad to meet with eXGovernor Hunt for confer ence regarding a settlement of the strike in the Globe Miami district, Jo- seph F. Cannon, a member of the exec utive board of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, said tonight.
 The strike to date is a success for it is 100 per cent effective,' he said. If the companies show any inclination to reach an agreement we will make no effort to prevent the pumps from being operated. But if the companies try to produce copper we will make an effort to stop these pumps
 "The outlook here is better than it was the day the strike was called The tension has relaxed, there is an easier feeling in the air and the enthusiasm of the strikers is unabated Those who have not yet become members of our organization are eD~olling in gratifying numbers"

The Spanish Santa Claus.

In Spain, however, it is not Santa
Claus, but one Of the three kings, no
less a person, indeed, than Balthasar,
who is the purveyor Of gifts. He is
always represented as q negro, even
in the pictures of the old masters. and
as such he survives in Spanish legend.
On the eve Of the Epiphany the chill
dren leave their shoes and boots out in
some convenient spot near the CHM

the morning. Boots, in fact, preceded
the stocking everywhere, the superior
advantages Of the latter as q recep-
tacle having been a recent discovery.
In Belgium to this day the children
give their shoes an extra fine polish on
Christmas eve. fill them with hay, oats
or carrots for Santa Claus white horse

in the fireplace. The room is then
carefully closed and the door locked.

The Christmas Spirit.

However it may he. when Christmas
comes it finds us all to a greater or
less degree ready to cry "a merry
Christmas to all" and to the best OF
our ability keep it with good cheer.
Deep down in our hearts every one OF
us cherishes what may be called the
Christmas sentiment. Even If we go,
as so many have done Of past years,
outside Of the walls of u own home
we still observe our Yuletide in a more
or less conventional manner We may
escape our relatives. save ourselves the
bother Of home preparations, pretend
that we have cut adrift from the old
fashioned methods. but 1t all amounts
In reality to the same thing. We are
animated, after all. by the same spirit,
whether we are in a country house, q
Cat, q restaurant or hotel.

herds were not asleep. They were
watching that no harm should happen
to the sheep.
Perhaps they were looking up Mt the
stars and the beautiful moon above
them when suddenly there appeared a
wonderful light in the sky. brighter
than the moon, or stars, as II the sky
had opened and they saw the glory
within.
While the shepherds were looking up,
wondering what was the cause OF that
strange light. a beautiful shining angel
came near to them and said:
"Fear not. I bring you good tidings
which shall be to all people. This day
Is born a Savior, and We shall find the
babe lying in n manger."
- And suddenly the angel was Joined
by a multitude of the heavenly host
singing praises to God. This was their
song:
Glory to God in the highest. and on earth
Peace. good will toward men.
When the angels had gone back to
heaven the shepherds said they would

of whom the angels sang. They went
and found him, a little baby, in a sta
bile, with no cradle to lie in, only a
manger for his bed. That little baby
was Jesus, who when he grew up said:
"Let the little children come unto me
and forbid them not. for Of such is the
kingdom of heaven" His birthday

the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get a better job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you
think that's so. Uncle Dan?"
Uncle Dan replied: Il have q
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference
be says it pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert. more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without

here they are. They tell their OWN
story and it is a mighty interesting
one. The young man. before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he Joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him in charge,
life for him took on a new meaning.
He saw q chance to do something and
be something. He woke UT. His cap
tain says he Is twice the man he was
when he Joined the army. This may
be one of the extreme cases. said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you. though.
that wal or no war, no n thing will
do the young men Of this nation SO
much good in SO short a time as a few
months of intensive military training.
1t fits a man to fight his W life bat
ties in the business world as we'll as
to defend his country and its flag.
NEARLY every civilized country gives
Its boys military training. 1t is com-
pulsory, 1t is based upon the fact that
il is the duty of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war Is now
carried on. no one a do much unless
he is trained. Also. the records show
hat the killed and wounded among
uatrained troops Is nearly three times

nation has trained men to defend her

! better man for the training.
"If the Chamberlain Bill for Mill.

as 1t ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions Of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand of his congressman

bill"
