SEALED
BERNSTORFF TRUNK
ARRIVES IN LONDON

London March 16.-The mysterious
broken and sealed up trunk which
started with Ambassador Berns-
torff from New York to Copenhagen
on the scandinavian American liner
Frederick VIII, arrived in London to-
day. 1t was taken at once to the for
eign office where it will later be open
ed in the presence of the Swedish min
lister.
This trunk is the same one which
has figured extensively in various ru-
mors circulated in the United States.
Apparently it was at first dispatched,
sealed with the seals of the Swedish
embassy in Washington. Later the
trunk was discovered to have been
opened, the original seals removed,
and resealed with the seals of the
swedish consul. Consulate seals are
not exempt from brakage, as are dip
lomatic marks. Therefore. it was as
sumed that when British inspectors
examined baggage aboard the Freder-
lex VIII they had no compunction in
looking over the trunk. one report
circulated in the United States was
that the famous Zimmerman letter
proposing a Mexican Japanese German
alliance agaist America, came from
this trunk.

(Arizona Gazette !. ]


 In their annual session, the Inter- national Typographical Union at Colo rado Springs have very forcibly shown their wisdom and loyalty to THEIR own business in a resolution addressed to the department of jus tice urging the federal government to prosecute the white paper trust for illegally holding up extortionate prices. By that one act the printers 2s union have elevated themselves above all others, because that resolu- ton is not a selfish one, on the con- tTary it seeks to and will benefit more people out of the union than there are in the l. T. U. if it is successful, at any rate; win or lose, the printers have started a big thing of extreme national importance. The~I. T. U. just naturally should be the superior Of all labor organizations as every member must of necessity be pretty well educated, and further, their daily work forces them to keep in constant touch with the worlds do- | ings. For those reasons the printers union should determine to take the lead and soon become the dominat- 1 ing factor of labor organizations ! throughout the length and breadth i of the North American continent. Ky taking such a stand with motto ! of RIGHT, JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY FOR ALL" they will not sue ceed but they will win the love and respect of all the people. The Gaz- cite can go further and venture the prediction that on that motto the printers can in time bring an end tC ALL strikes and dissensions be- tween employee and employer.

LABOR BUYS LIBERTY BONDS.

While it Is not possible to give exact fig ures either to the number of subscribers or the amount of bonds bought, yet reports from many corporations and firms which are large employers of labor show that the wOrkingmen of America numerous and liberal pur- chasers in the initial $2, O,OOO,OOO issue of liberty bonds.
 There can be no doubt that the working men of America are class of citizens whose patriotism and ability afford tremendous market for Government bonds. The safety of the liberty loan bonds and their exemption from all Federal, State and local taxation ex- cept inheritance and estate taxes, constitute them an ideal investment for the smaller inves- ors and the labor element of America seem to have been quick to appreciate the fact. That they will be liberal purchasers in the next is- of the liberty loan bonds may confidently be relied on.
 The wor kingmen are willing to buy hber- ally according to their means and able to buy largely in the aggregate. The assistance given them by their employers, in many in- stances, in the way of arranging it that they could pay for the bonds by installments out of their wages, together with similar facili- ties offered by practically all of the bands of the country, greatly aided the wage earners of the country in their purchase of liberty loan bonds.

SHERIFF WHEELER'S REPORT ID WILEY
 [. JONES

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 20-The report of Attorney General Wiley E. Jones on the deportations of alleged I. w. w. members and sympathizers from Bisbee on July 12 was placed in Gov ernor Campbell's hands last Satur- day. The report consisted largely of statements of residents of the War ren District, including Sheriff Wheel CT of Cochise county and Mayor Brick son of Bisbee. Attorney General Jones' report made no recommenda- tions and Governor Campbell has not indicated what course will be taken
 Sheriff Harry ,Wheeler's report which was included in that of Attor- nev General Jones said: T would repeat the operation any time I find my own people endanger- ed by mob composed of eigthy per cent aliens and enemies of my gov ernment.
 T intend when deserted by all -oth- CT departments who should aid and protect, yet who do not, to protect my own people by the best possible m ethod and in the most effective way"
 | Referring to alleged statements of Columbus leaders to the effect that a labor revolution was at hand, Wheel CT stated:
 If the men shriek of revolution, only hope they come here to begin their revolution. We will end it foI them.
 Upon the decision to deport the strikers I requested secrecy to pre- vent bloodshed. There were no jails in the county capable of holding SC many prisoners, the state could not and the government would not ai( us and I did what was left to me, Ipursued the only course that promised freedom from bloodshed and anar chy."

SAME CRIME, DIFFERENT MOTIVES.

It is rather disgrace for any, body to make money out of the war; that is, to make the war an opportunity for profit. Of course, the crowds opportunity upon some to make money. But the members of the New York exemption board who sold immunity from military ser vice went so far out of their way to seek op- portunity that think the two years in the penitentiary to which they have been sentenced is entirely too inadequate and brief Fifty years would have been about right.
 After all, vas this worse than granting immunity by fayoritism where cash is in volved? We understand that these New York members received $500 for exempting persons from military service. We do not know whether such exemptions anywhere have been granted through favoritism or political infiu- ence. The provost marshal general was much more fearful of the exercise of favoritism and political influence than he was of bribery, and he especially lnd frequently warned exe1np- ton boards against such exercise.
 The effect produced is precisely the same, matter by what agency improper immunity is granted. Tue same injustice is done to the man farther down the draft list and greater injury is done the country by the removal from the service of man when so many men are needed; more men, in fact. than the registra- tion will produce if exemptions granted honestly.
 To the penitentiar with every man who for any reason money, friendship inf1u- ence, toys with the draft law
