GLOBE AND MIAMI OPERATORS.
Tell Industrial Commission They Will
Not Employ Unpatriotc Workers.

Globe, Ariz.-Mine operators testi-
flying before the Federal Industrial
Commission here declared that while
they desired industrial peace in the
GlObe-Miami district, they could not
take back the striking miners with
out taking with them the agitators
who caused the present troubles.
This, they declared, they could not

ing in the mines, and who accepted
employment when their patriotism
was appealed to. The operators testi-
fled that they were anxious to CO.
operate with the commission in every
way possible to bring about a max
imum copper production, but that
they could not treat with the officials
now in charge of the local unions.
They declared that the strikers ig-
nored all appeals to patriotism when
they walked out; that they were not
asking for more money, but only a
change in working conditions that
they had always been satisfied with
until the agitators had come here

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with pain
in the back, headache, loss of ambition,
nervousness and may be respondent and
irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, re-
stores health to the kidneys and is just
the remedy needed to overcome such con-
ditions.
Get medium or large bottle immedi-
ately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents. to. DIR.

LLAMAS MUST BE HUNDRED
Will Not Endure Force or Threats
When Being Loaded They Are
Caressed by Drivers.

The South American llama will bear
neither beating nor ill-treatment. The
animals go in troops, an Indian walk
ing a long distance ahead. If the
llamas are tired they stop, and the
Indian stops also. If the delay be
too great the Indian, becoming un-
easy toward sunset, after all due pre-
caution, resolves on supplicating the
beasts to resume their journey. He
stands about so or 60 PAGES off, in an
attitude of humility, waving his hand
-coaxingly toward them, looks at them
with tenderness, and at the same
time, in the softest tones, reiterates,
&c, ic ic." If the llamas are disposed
to resume their course they follow the
Indian in good order and at regular
pace but step fast, for their legs are
long; but, when they are in ill humOr,
they do not even turn toward the
speaker, but remain motionless, hud-
died together, standing or lying down.
The straight neck and the gentle ma
jesty of bearing, the long down Of their
always clean and glossy skin, their
supple and timid motion, all give them
an air at once sensitive and noble.
If it happens-which is very seldom
the case-that an Indian wishes to OBJ
tain, either by force or even by threats,
what the llama will not willingly per-
form, the instant the animal finds it.
self affronted by words or gesture it
raises it's head with dignity and, with
out making any attempt to escape III
treatment by flight, lies down.
The respect shown these animals by
Peruvian Indians amounts almost to
superstitious reverence. When the
Indians load them two approach and
caress the animal, hiding it's head that
it may not see the load on it's back. It
is the same in unloading.

Removed for Strike Propaganda.

Miami.-Attempts to involve the
Loyal Order of Moose in the labor
troubles in the Globe-Miami district
were cut short by District Deputy Su-
preme Dictator w. J. Spaulding of
Bisbee, who came here to Investigate
the situation in Globe Lodge 787. The
district deputy cut the Gordian knot
by summarily removing five officers
from their seats of authority in the
lodge and replacing them by other
men who will be installed at the next
meeting by Junior Past Dictator Will
hanson. The action of the district
deputy was prompted by letters sent
out by the officers of the lodge de-
manding that all members of the
Moose who had refused to join in the
copper strike appear before the, local
branch of the order for trial. The
excuse for this attempt to involve
fraternalism with labor unionism was
that of "co-operation" among the
members of the. order.
