The Dos Cabesas Gold Ridge

H. c. Kimbal1, of Wilcox, was
in town for short time Monday.
Asked about his new mine propo-
sition, the Dos Cabezas Gold Ridge
Mining Corporation, he stated that
the company had ten men at work
in two shifts A hoist has been
ordered and is now on the, way, ,
and concentration is also expected
to be put in as soon as practicable.
A tunnel is in nearly sixty feet and
an unlocked for ore body has been
encountered, and a new tunnel is
to be driven in about 125 feet be-
low the present workings, which
the engineer states will undoubted-
1y cut into another valuable ore
body.
The mines are sixteen miles from
Wilcox and two from Dos Cabezas,
with a good auto road from the
frst-named place.
The company, Mr.. Kimball says,
has disposed of most of its stock,
which in his opinion is not risk
but a sure investment. He left
scme samples of rock at the Signal
office, which can be seen by any
one interested.
The stock is selling readily, and
while the company is not especial
1y soliciting its sale, has small
amount left which they could sup

VERDICT FOR SON OF
SLAIN UNION PICKET
(By Call News Service.)


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. f22.-William
Savignac. 10 years old, was given a
$4,000 judgment in the Circuit Court
against the John O'Brien Boiler
Works Company. for the death of his
father, Albert Savignac, a union boil
ermaker, who was shot while on
picket duty in front of the boiler
works in October, 1915.
Savignac~ was killed by John S.
Tolin, a company guard Tolin and
some of his fellow gunner pleaded
that Savignac attempted to attack
hem and that the shooting was acct
dental. The coroncr's jury found for
Tolin, but the evidence in possession
of the friends of Savignac was SO
strong that they continued the Aegol
battle. The verdict given by the Cir
cult Court virtually convicts Tolin and
the firm that hired him.
The union picket was killed three
months after q strike had been called
ut the O'Brien boiler works.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-There is
legislation now drafted, and ready in
the Army War college to clamp an
, alright military censorship on the
press and on every publicity service
Of the United States the very minute
! that war or the threat Of war may
give pretext for that action.
The press, powerful in peace, may
become more so in war;" says an
amazing pamphlet issued by the
Army War college. by it's edi-
torials and presentation of news it
may sway the people for or against
the war and thus stimulate recruit
ing and hearten and encourage the
fighting forces in their work or, by
adverse criticism, may tend to de-
stroy the efficiency of these agen-
cies."
The pamphlet from which that
paragraph is copied was prepared by
the war college as long ago as 1915
1t is now being revived for congress
sional attention.
This openly discloses the purpose to
kill off all criticism OF the absolutism
which is trying to fasten itself on this
republic. The spirit is rampant to
destroy democracy and develop a
regimented, class-controlled nation.
If that part of the press and of the
means Of publicity which is really for
human rights as against property
! rights does not get busy in opposition
there will be quickly in America a
composite soldier, sheriff. policeman,
private detective and armed guard
sitting heavy on the safety valve Of
ibcrty-the free expression Of
opinion and the free statement Of
fact.
Whether nominal peace or actual
war arc still the order of the day,
the fight is on in this nation Letween
popular sovereignty and plutocratic
militarism.
From the point of interest of the
people, the greatest enemy threaten
ing United States commerce and in
dustry today is not a German SUBJ
! marine or an English battleship, but
is that small yet powerful element in
American citizenship which is ever
! ready to make American labor a beast
of burGen.

congress when the president an
nounced the severance of diplomats:

WASHINGTON IS SCENE" Of FIGHT.
FOR FREEDOM Of THE WORKERS

LABOR. with the excuse of "cOmman-
decring factories and mobi]izing in
dustry" it controverted every fine
principle and great act of Mr.. Will
sons great administration.
The American Federation of Labor,
the labor members of congress. and
other democratic forces took up the
fight for democracy. With the help
of Secretary Of the Navy Daniels Uo
whom in that emergency great credit
was due) the authority to conscript
the workers into the naval establish
ment was stricken out of the Padyett
bill, and the eight-hour principle was
saved by compelling payment of time
and one-half for overtime. The most
vicious strike-breaking feature of the
bill also was eliminated because la
boris representatives and legisla tive
agents were on guard.
The American labor movement is
performing an historic. service not
only to American free institutions, but
to what is left of world democracy.
But the struggle is a desperate one
and is just in its beginning
The perils of war are bringing into
more vivid foreground the perils that
peace also holds for the plain people,
the workers.
The powerful few who have their
rea ctionary servants in congress and
in the state legislatures have the
nerve to assume that the workers are
unpatriotic and that they have to be
compelled to work and that their
freedom and personal liberty must be
taken from them. Compulsory arbi-
tration and state consta bularies Ito
shoot men in times Of peace) are only
being emphasized in the preparation
for war.
The preparation in the minds. of
this class of special interests is not for
militaristic money controlled country
whether peace prevails or war pre-
walls.
There was militarism in Europe be-
fore there was war.
President Wilson has recently
shown his understanding of democ-
racy. Among other proofs, he has
given evidence of his faith in the
democracy and patriotism of the
plain people of Mexico. But now
many in congress Of the United States
would legislate for American citizens
as if they were galley slaves to be
scourged to "dungeons'' coerced into
their work and driven to the defense
of their home and country.
The insult to American workers
and the injury to. their liberties in
such legislation has aroused the best
fighting spirit ip the spokesman Of
labor am. of the common man. The
insult is offered and the injury is pro-
posed by those who. make profit out
of war, and whose prosperity in peace
is founded on special privilege, on
special favors and law and on the
power to defraud the worker of his
just wages. The insult is being re-
futed and the INJURY is being warded
against by representatives of the
workers and by other genuinely pa
triotic defenders Of American honor
Washington is now battle-ground
for and against-not peace, but free
dom.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
TO Be VOTED ON
Constitutional Amendment Re-
ported Out of Committees In
Both Branches of Congress.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22.-The
constitutional amendment for woman
suffrage is now on the calendars of
both senate and house. The measure
was reported from the committees,
with a recommendation that it do
pass in the senate, and without recon-
mendation in the house.
There will undoubtedly be an open
vote in both branches before the close
of this congress, but all the suffrage
forces can hope for is some gain in
the strength shown two years ago,
when this issue rs defeated by roll
calls, also in the "after election" ses-
sion.
