1. w. w. TAKES POSITION THAT
STRIKE is OF NATIONAL SCOPE

Globe, Ariz., July 10.--Because the
I. w. w. strike is a part Of national
movement for the betterment of the
conditions and the abolition of the
wage system, Industrial Workers OF
the World leaders here have declared
they cannot participate in the strike
mediation conferences which are be-
ing held by representatives of the
state and federal government.
The l. w. W., according to their
leaders here, has taken the position
that this strike is a national move
ment and that they can treat only
with the mine owners direct and they
refuse to consider any efforts at rec
oncliation which does not come di-
rect from the operators or owners OF
the mines In this district
In addition the I. w. w. leaders
have Informed the mediation board
that a permanent settlement Of the
strike situation here cannot be reach
ed until satisfactory settlements have
been made In other metal camps OF
the country on the basis of the Miami
scale and they even 60 further and
say this Miami scale will be increased
later.
What effect this declaration will
have. upon the present mediation
plans for a settlement Of the strike In
the Globe Miami district is prob
lematical. The conciliators, who In
clude Governor Thomas Campbell. ex
Governor George w. p. Hunt, repre-
senting the president; Judge Johr
Mcbride, federal mediator, and Lieut.
Col. A. G. White, U. S. A., reported
satisfactory progress following the
conference Sunday with the join
committee of the mine, mill ant
smelter workers organization, which
is affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor.
The conference with the I. W. w
committee yesterday was less salts
factory and closed with the declara
tion that the strike would have to b
treated nationally and not locally.
This has raised the question of wha
action the Mine, Mill and Smelte
Workers union will take should
satisfactory settlement bo made Will

Hoover Issues Statement De-
cIaring That Farmers and
Public Are Threatened With
Serious Loss.
AGREEMENT is REACHED
FOLLOWING MODIFICATION
Democrats Consent to Elimin-
ate More Drastic Features;
Substitute for Entire Meas
ure Presented.

Washington, July 10.-A senate
agreement to vote on President Will
sons food control bill on July 81, five
weeks after Its submission to congress
as an urgent war measure, was fol-
lowed today by issuance from the
White House of q detailed report by
Herbert Hoover, declaring that both
the farmers and the public are threat
ened with serious losses unless food
control authority is given quickly to
the federal government.
Democratic senators secured the
agreement for a Voc only after they
had consented to strip the bin of some
of its more drastic features, includ-
ing the stringent prohibition provi-
sions. SO far-reaching was the revi-
sion demanded, in fact, that all day
conferences of the democratic steering
committee and the agriculture COM
mittee resulted in presentation of a
substitute for the entire measure.
Wilson'S Approval Expected.
There was no expression of opinion
from the White House regarding the
provisions of the substitute bill, but it
Is expected to be agreeable to the
president in the main. 1t follows gem
orally the lines of the administration
bill as originally introduced with
power to control other industries be-
sides food and ft,el eliminated. II
would prohibit manufacture of distill-
ed liquors, without provision for gov
eminent purchase or existing stocks
and would place in the presidents S
hands the power and responsibility to
decide whether prohibition shall be
extended to beer and wine.
Neither was any comment on Mr..
Hoover's report available at the White
House, but the fact of its publication
at this time was regarded as another
evidence of President wilson's disap-
pointment over the failure of congress
to act.
Situation Upset in Senate.
Any plan which can be acted on
quickly. provided it embodies the ele-
mentary principles of the administra-
tion program, is expected have
White House support. The control
bill now has been before the senate
more than two weeks and the food
survey bill, another administration
measure, has been held up in con-
ference since early in June.
With the whole legislative situa-
ton upset in the senate, the leaders
expressed doubt tonight whether &C
ton could be taken in any event be-
fore Saturday Of next week, the day
set for vote.

Jerome, Ariz., July 10.-"The reign
OF the Industrial Workers of the
World in Jerome is at an end" said
Mayor j. j. Cain today as he stood in
the railroad yards and watched two
cattle cars loaded with men disappear
In the distance. There were sixty-sev-
EN- men in the cars, all reputed to be
members OF the Industrial Workers of

accompanied them 70 SEQ that they
did not come back. Tie cars we're
hooked to a locomotive and the short
train was run as an extra" its des-
tination being Jerome Junction,
twenty seven miles away.
Deportation of the men came after

hundreds of miners and other citizens,

iect Of cleaning up the town. All
of the men were considered by Jerome
city officials to be "undesirables" be-
cause of the strike called in the cop
per district by the Metal Miners
branch of the Industrial Workers of
the World, which was repudiated by
the International Union of Mine, Mill
and Smelter Workers. Many men
had heard of the drive" and left
Jerome early this morning.
Given Nothing to Eat.
After the men were placed in the
cattle cars they were given plenty of
drinking water, but nothing to eat.
AS the train pulled out, several shout

But to this Mayor Cain only smiled.
Afterward he remarked. Jerome

Oil Impost Not Repealed.
Today was the operative date OF
General Carranza's new schedule of
export taxes on crude oil and its de-
rivatives on which the British fleet
largely depends for fuel. The United
States conducted a volumlnous cor
respondence with the Mexican gov
ernment after protests had been made
to the state department by oil opera
tors, but MeXicos determination not
70 repeal the decree resulted in sug-
gestion to the oil men by the de-
partment to pay the taxes under pro-
test. 1t is not believed by American
officials that any serious Gripping of
the oil industry or supply will result.

Federal Officials Say That
Such Action on Part of
Southern Republic Would
Not Be Upon Their Advice,
CONDITIONS IN MEXICO
STILL CAUSE CONCERN
Entrance of That Country Into
War Would Place Entente in
Awkward Position in Deal
ing With Her,

Washington. July l0.--Reports that
Mexico is about to break with Ger
many led to the authoritative state
ment today that any such move
would not be based on advice given
by the American government.
1t was stated that no suggestion of
active endorsement of the position of
the United States has gone TO Mex
leo City from Washington, except the
general note TO all neutral govern
ments upon the rupture of relations
with Germany in March. 1t was
made clear, furthermore, that while
the American government would well
come a friendlier attitude by Mexico.
many high officials believe that the
best interests of most of the nations
concerned will be served if the south
ern republic maintains neutrality in
the world war.
No LEAK" From Mexico.
Ambassador Fletcher, who came
here to report in detail to Secretary
Lansing on conditions iA Mexico, has
told the state department that despite
some Improvement in Mexican affairs
generally much remains to cause
concern to the American government.
This circumstance Is considered inn
portant because break with Ger
many would give Mexico an oppor-
tunity to get money and place the
United States under certain obliga-
tions.
Late reports to the state depart
ment have served to allay the alarm
prevalent at one time that German
Vaccinations in Mexico might prove
embarrassing. Although there are
sixteen wireless plants in Mexico,
American officials are convinced that
none is being used and that none can
be used for transmitting news to Ger
many or to her correspondents.
Wouldn't Object to- Loan.
Those officials who have not been
eager to see Mexico join in the war
do not object to seeing General Car
rama supplied with money, but they
believe that without contributing
much real aid to the allies Mexico
would make IL hard for the United
States, France, Great Britain and
other nations with grievances against
her to assume stern attitude after
the war. That Mexico may not by
that time have Strengthened ~out her
troubles is admitted as a possibility,
and it might be awkward to take the
proper step regarding recent ally.
Mexicos present position has been
defined by her foreign office as one
of strict neutrality" but it is in fact
a benevolent neutrality since she is
in her harbors without protest They
have been there since the days of

Reports to President That Un-
less Action Is Taken at Once
Slump in Wheat Prices Is
Threatened. 49,.
SPECULAT0RS, HE SAYS,
TAKE UNEARNED PROFITS
Practically Helpless to Safe
guard Producer or Consum-
er Without Legislation, He
Declares.

Washington, July l0,--A report on
the food situation prepared for
President Wilson by Herbert Hoover,
holding that both the farmer and the
consuming public are suffering while
food spectators make unearned
profits from the delay in enactment
of food control legislation, was given
out tonight at the White House
Unless strong and efficient govern
ment action is Immediately taken, the
food administrator reported, the
farmers will face a slump in wheat
prices and consumers will be caught
in a situation even more serious than
that which already is resulting in
actual under-nourishment" in the
Igreat consuming centers. The specu-
lator, 1t is declared, is taking a large
part of the prices now paid by con-
sumers.
No Comment From Wilson.
I'VE are practically helpless to safe
guard either the farmer or the con-
sumer," concludes Mr.. Hoover, until
the pending Legislation is passed"
The report, in the form of letter
to the president, was issued through
the public information committee,
with the statement that publicity was
given 1t 'in order that the country
may know how serious and far-reach-
ing the consequences may be both to
the farmers of the country and to the
consumers, Of the present delays in
passing the pending food legislation. ;
No comment by the president ac.
companied the report, although he has
more than once demonstrated his i'm
patience over the repeated delays in
congress which have kept the entire
food control program in a state OF
uncertainty for weeks

IRELAND IS FEELING NO pinch OF WAR

in England. For three shiilings they
get meal which includes soup, fish
or lobster and sometimes both, hot or
cold meat, dessert, cheese and biscuits,
and tea or coffee. The same meal in
hotel Of corresponding grade In
England would cost at least six shill-
ings.
Drink, too, is not only more plenti-
full but Of better quality. The drink
ing places in Ireland are open all day
and until eleven o'clock at night,
whereas In England and Scotland they
are only open for two hours in the at
ternoOn and three hours in the eve
ming.
In England today 1t Is considered
indicate to ask a friend for match.
In France, matches are well nigh un-
obtainable. All the continental coun-
tries are suffering from a match fam
inc. Not so in Ireland. Hotels, bar
rooms, and cigar stores all have
matches in abundance, and they are
used with the same freedom as in the
time of peace.
The Americans see the Irish farmer
prosperous beyond precedent. The
sailor in his little trips to Dublin and
such resorts as Killarney, Youghal, and
Glengariff, passes through some of the
richest agricultural country In the
world. The immense amount Of land
under the plow impresses him, and he
talks with many farmers who boast of
the record prices they are getting for
their produce, especially their live
stock. Cows, sheep and pigs are so
plentiful that the beautiful rolling
landscape is fairly dotted with them.
Neither is the farmer troubled with
a shortage Of labor. as in England.
Labor is plentiful and of good quail
ity, the laborers, not only in the agri.
cultural, but also In the industrial dis
tricts, being largely young men and
women. This favorable labor situa-
ton is due largely to the fact that
there has been practically no emigra-
ton from Ireland for three years, and
the thousands of young men and wom-
en- who formerly set out for America
each month now remain in, the coun,
try. ..
