BISBEE.

When the miners and their sym pathizers were deported from Bis bee by the lawless action of the cop per companies and the state and county officials who obeyed their orders. the country was informed that it was because the German in tercsts had deliberately fomented the struggle.
 But it was no such thing. It was little slip of paper which reads as follows:
 Bisbee, Ariz., June 26, 1917.
 The Undersigned Committee has been appointed by the Metal Mine Workers Industrial Union, No. 800, Bisbee Branch, to present to the Mining Companies of Warren Dis trict the following demands

reservation and the foreign 3ora may be prideful ill the fact of his citizenship, he himself does not know what is dormant in his soul and flares up when reused by the strenuous events such as have re gently taken place in the world.
 The practical thing is to realize this. 1t is easy enough to preach that 1t should be otherwise; it is easy to denOunce that such q cundi- tion exists; it is easy to ieplore that men should have such a frame of mind and such a feeling of heart. But it is quite possible it is only just in these latter days that those who manifest such sentiments have begun 10 realize that they did enter tcin them and to be not little sur prised al he strength and force of such emotions.
 Nor is it hard to direct attention to a similar phase of this war where this question refuses adjustment even among American citizens In France when the war broke out numerous Americans joined the 1 French army; some of them became very conspicuous in the aviation corps. They had to become French citizens and when they signed their &ttestation papers they declared their allegiance to France. first last and all the time
 But they never did become Frenchmen in the correct and liter al conse, even if they did become French in the legal sense. and their standing as American citizens had ceased.
 Yet when the United States of America declares war upon Ger many, these men as one man return to their original allegiance and paint the American flag upon their French machines.
 As to the matters of international law invOlJed in this we are not concerned. But as the incident shows that the American, like the rest, still holds first place for his nationality, notwithstanding his former protestations of loyalty to the country which he served or which served him, allowance ought reasonably to be made for others who entertain a similar sentiment for theirs. It may net be legal, but it is supromely natural It is so natural that people of al! nations appear to act with singular uniform ity in the premises

the miners. not one of which in all fairness car be opposed.
 The abolition of the physical exa- imitation was objected to because Of the fact that the company doctors simply used it, under orders, for enforcing the black list. It was 8 farce in any event, but when a man had been blacklisted the doctor was the man who refused to pass him for employment. Apart altogether from this, the natural objection to have every quack that comes along paw a man all over in an alleged examination was naturally distaste- ful. IL was the apraisement slave dealers were wont to make of their chattel stock in the olden days when the chattel slave system prevailed.
 It was contended that the pre- sent machines, the one man drills. are much heavier than those where on two men previously worked, but the speeding up and efficiency system these days of high priced copper naturally added to the com pany's desire to get everything poss- ible out of the hide of the slaves,

 Two men to work together on a raise: who in the name ot good ness can imagine a man working alone in a raise. Elementary pre- caution for safety ot life and limb would indicate the supreme neces- sity of this clause. Is it any wonder that the copper mines show greater fatality list than any other form of under ground work ing?
 The abolition of the sliding scale was prefaced by the remark enough to live on. and that the scale paid should be in proportion to the living costs and not in pro- portion to the costs of the cOmmOd | ity produced. The experience has been with the sliding scale in vogue that the scale slid slowly ahead to meet the increase, while it went down a greased tob- began to accommodate the fall m copper, that there was not estab lisheG true relative increase in wages and the price of copper The mere fact that this demand is in- serted with the rest is prima facie evidence of the correctness of this contention.

They did ask the companies to hire anyone regardless of his union affiliations That ought to be commendable even to the cOmpa- nics. But it wasn't.
