ers of the World that their organiza-
ton was under German influence,
that revolutionary movement had
been planned by the |. w. w. and
that guns and ammunition had been
cached in mining camps and else
where to arm the members.
This denial was made at the meet
ing of the l. w. w. committee and
the joint mediation board which is
making an effort to settle the metal
miners strike in this district. There
were eight delegates of the local or
ganization composing the I. w. w
iE this district and an open and
frank discussion of the strike issues
was held with James H. Chapman,
the leader of the I. w. w movement
in this district, acting as spokesman
for his committee.
What Strikers Want.
The demands of the l. w. w. or
ganizatons were stated for the in
formation of the mediation board,
and included a minimum wage of SO

$3.50 for surface workers, the en-

elimination against any member of
any union and two men to work to-

The meeting between the Joint

one of the mediators expressed his
surprise at the mild manner these

demands upon the operators.
Tie-up Threat Enlarged.
The strongest statement made at
this meeting was to the effect that,
whether or not strike was won In
any one particular district, the men
would not be permitted to return to
work, but would remain out on strike
until all of the other districts of the
southwest had won their strike where
the |. w. w. demands had been pre-
sented.

conference today that the I. w. W. !

about ten have shown up here or
in Tombstone for examinations and
of the balance of about thirty, those
who are citizens have been certified
into the army. The report that AS
