YUMA COUNTY FAIR.

The Yuma county fair commission
ers and many of the heads of depart
ments held a meeting at the Cham
ber of Commerce room last Saturday
and deliberated on many ques-
tions which are paramount relative
to holding the next county fair, one
of which was the fixing of a date,
says the Sun. The first three days
next November were decided on as
the best time, and unanimously des-
ignated. Partial arrangements for
providing a premium list, and some
other preliminary matters, were dis
cussed, the meeting adjourning with
the work at least initiated which is
expected to give this county an exhi-
bition this fall which will far sur
pass the first fair and place the as
sociation on a still more permanent
footing

SAYS DEMANDS
MUST Be MET
PRESIDENT OF ARIZONA FEDER-
ALTON OF LABOR LOOKS FOR
FURTHER STRIKE COMPLICA-
TIONS IN ARIZONA.

That unless the demands of the
miners Of Arizona are met by the
operators, and within a short time,
the present strike difficulties will
extend beyond the state and assume
national proportions, including even
the railroads, is the opinion of John
S Donnelly, president of the Arizona
State Federation of Labor in a
statement made this week.
Mr.. DOnnelly is not for a truce
between the miners and operators
until after the war is over unless
first the miners are conceded their
demands.
"1f the government will declare a
truce on the increasing cost of liv-
ing" declared Mr.. Donnelly, 1--WE are
willing to declare a truce with the
operators until the end of the war.
1t is impossible for the workingman
to make both ends meet, with the
dollar buying only One-half of what
it did few years ago.
81 look for further strike compli-
cations in Arizona if the demands of
the miners and amicable relations
resumed in the affected districts are
not met whereby the union forces
of the state are entirely satisfied. I'm
less these things come about in a
reasonable time and in a manner sat
isfactory to the union men of Ari-
Zona | expect to see the strike situa-
tion enlarged, with the possibility of
it becoming national
From authoritative sources |
have learned that the representatives
of the Arizona State Federation of
Labor and the chiefs of the railway
unions have reached an agreement
which may result in the refusal Of
the railway men to haul unfair ma
terials in this state, such as 'scab'
ore and commodities.
This may come about in a short
time possibly in two weeks" said
Mr.. Donnelly, "unless all these strike
differences are settled and to the en-
tire satisfaction of the miners. If
no further trouble is desired during
the war, all this strife must be ad-
justed between capital and labor.
I'VE are not in sympathy with the
acts Of the l. w. w, and we sincere
ly hope that that faction will soon
be run out of Arizona, and believe
that present events indicate it will
happen before long. There are no
l. w. W. men in the Clifton -Morenci-
Metcalf district. They sent some of
their literature there about ten days
ago, but it was all burned"

Owing to the prevalence of ty-

GOING DOWN SLOW,

The working shaft of the Empire
Arizona Consolidated Copper com
pahy has not been making as fast
progress in gaining depth as the
management desires This has been
on account of a scarcity of miners,
and the hardness of the formation
For the past ten days only one shift
has been employed, superintendent
being unable to get
enough men to run two shifts. The
formation is an extremely hard
quartz. On Thursday the shaft had
attained a depth of about $50 feet.

Hours Short, Wages High.

The big strike in Bisbee is not an
appeal from inadequate wages, for
the local scale has been cents high
er than in any other mining camp Of
the nation it is not a protest against
excessive labor, for the miner, under
Arizona laws, really puts in only
about seven hours; it is. not against
poor working conditions, for the two
leading companies here are notable
for the care taken Of their men; it
is not for union control, for the To-
duct. Of the strike and resent the
intrusion here of a movement by
them deemed antagonistic to their
own interests.
This last point is emphasized by
telegram from President Charles
Meyer of the International Union of
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, ad-
vising Governor Campbell that his
organization of the American Fedora
tion of Labor has no authority for
calling the Bisbee strike and assumes
no responsibility Herewith and by
communications from headquarters
of the Arizona Federation of Labor
demanding the expulsion of a local
unionite who has become active in
the /. w. w.
''Yet, on a call of few individuals
backed by a viva voce show at a
packed meeting, without any vote of
the actual laboring men, no less than
1000 highly paid mechanics and
miners dropped their tools and shov-
els, abandoned wages that averaged
$500 a day, and congregated in the
canyOn-like streets of Bisbee, wait
ing for developments, apparently in
terested not at all in the nebulous
demands on which they were called

GREAT MENACE
FEW HUNDRED AGITATORS ARE
CAUSING REIGN OF TERROR IN
ARIZONA AND TIE UP GREAT
MINING INDUSTRY.

PHOENIX, July 12-That indus
trial conditions in Arizona are moth
ing short of state of actual rebel
lion against the nation, is the frank
ly expressed opinion of Col. James
H. McClintock, who has just re-
turned from a professional tour Of
nearly two weeks through the cop
per camps of southeastern Arizona,
The trouble at Chandler and Ajo
merely was forerunner.
Apparently, hundreds of profess
sional agitators have been sent into
the state to preach the doctrine of
unrest and to tie up mineral and ag-
ricultural production at time when
every pound of copper and Of grain
is necessary to the maintenance of
the war for defense of republican in
stitutions.
THE activity of the agitators,
observed the colonel, reminds one of
the effect on the hearer of the mid
night howl of a desert coyote, which
makes enough noise for a dozen.
There can't be more than a few hun
dred of the real |. w. w. sort, yet
they have consolidated against the
government thousands of Slavonians,
the Serbians alone excepted, and they
have terrorized more thousands of
good workmen into leaving well-paid
jobs at which they wanted to remain
They are opposed to the prin-
ciples of trades unionism, yet they
have collected initiation and dues
from thousands of union men, who
quit work because they didn't want
to be called 'scabs.' The leaders
have no hesitation in stating that
their organization will be satisfied
with nothing short of the earth and
that no concessions the mine owners
might make would be considered sat
