UNITED STATES
 TAKING CHARGE
 :OF |. W. W. MOB

The federal government has assumed charge of the 1,200 members of the In dustrial Workers of the World and and their sympathizers who were de- ported from Bisbee shipped in cattle cars to Columbus, N. M., not permitted to land there and were sent back four teen miles west to Hermanas, N NJ, where the men left the train and formed camp.
 In telegram received at the gover- nor's office early last evening, Cover nor Campbell was informed that the adjutant general at Washington had instructed the commanding officer of the Southern department of the army at San Antonio, Texas, to send at once military guard of United States troops to Hermanas, N M, to take charge of the I. W. W's and their fol- lowers at that place.
 The military guard will conduct the I. w. W.'s to Columbus N. M, the or der reads where they will be placed under guard pending a decision as to their further disposition. What this would be, was not intimated in the telegram received last night
 News is Big 6eIef
 The information from Washington that the federal government had taken 1. A izona, which had developed into white elephant for the county and state authorities, brought distinct re- lief to the state house where telegram after telegram had been received from sheriffs of mining centers who feared that the I. w. W.'s would be returned to their districts and the former trouble would be renewed in much greater force with bloodshed almost a certainty if clash occurred.
 With few exceptions, the unrest in the mining camps of the state. some of which reached a critical stage, is gradually settling down. No word of further deportations or attempts to de- port I. W. W.'s or their followers has reached the governors office in the past twenty-f four hours. From most of the mining camps has come word of more miners at work than have been during the past three or four days
 No Troops Believed On Way No troops are believed to be on their way to the mining camps of Arizona, as far as any word can be secured | from the office of Governor Thomas E. | Campbell. While the governor had | recommended that troops be sent to various of the mining camps. it is pos sible that the order, if any such has | been given by the war department, has | been suspended for few hours in the | hope that the wholesale deportation of | l. w. WIS from Bisbee and the deter l mined announcement of Bisbee citi | zens and those of other mining com munities that no further I. w. W. agi- 1 tation will be tolerated in their dis l tricts will have the effect of prevent 1 ing further rioting ond that the civil authorities will be able to handle the | situation.
 From Bisbee comes word that Sheriff 1 Harry C. Wheeler has wired Governor Campbell that he is able to handle the l situation, provided the l. W. W.'s are 1 not dumped on the town. However he | is said to have added that he would not endanger the lives of loyal Ameri- | can citizens in attempting to protect | the l. w. W.'s''
 l The situation in Mohave county is quiet, according to word from Sheriff Cohonour. Like Sheriff Wheeler of | Bisbee, he is confident of being able to preserve the peace of the commun- | ity provided there is no invasion of l. w. W's. In case the I. w. W,'s should descend upon the district, how | ever Sheriff Cohonour is said to have declared that he would proceed to round them up.
 Latest word from the Clifton Moren- ci district is that the district is com paratively quiet. Sheriff Slaughter of Greenlee county has wired that he an ticipates no trouble unless the mining companies attempt to operate the mines.
 :, Colonel J. J. Hornbrook. representa- = | tive of the war department who is at
 Bisbee, also wires that the situation there is quiet.
 Captain Davis. the war department
 representative who was sent to Ray to | make an investigation, wired last
 evening that while on the surface
 things were quiet, yet the district was restless.
 Rosa Mckay of Bisbee, representa-
 tive in the state legislature from Co.,
 chise county, left Bisbee yesterday af-
 ternoon with a large quantity of food
 for the l. w. W.'s camped at Herma-
 mas.
