Governor Thomas E. Campbell. af- ter digesting the report of Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, on the Bisbee situation, and also as a result of his own investigations in the Warren dis trict, issued a statement on his find ings. His conclusions were sent in the form of letters, addressed 10 Sheriff Harry c. Wheeler, County Attorney John F. Ross and to Mayor Jacob Erickson.
 l. W. W.'ism is fiayed by the gover- nor in his statement, and aekEowledg- ment made that complaints. alleging that relief was not being extended to many needy families, were erroneous.
 The letter follows:
 The result of my personal investiga- ton, August 9th to 18th, and the evi- dence obtained by the attorney gen eral under my direction and filed in this department yesterday evening, concerning events prior to the strike in the Warren district, called by the Metal Mine Workers branch. Indus
  and subsequent incidents, including the deportation of July F and others of later date, is briefly summed up herein. together with such findings of fact and directions to your future guidance as l feel it my duty to die tate:
 l. The method of presentation of de-, mands to the several operating min ing companies, and the calling of the strike immediately thereafter without resort to referendum on the part of those to be affected, was unfair.
 2. Tactics used by the strikers. the preaching of impossible doctrines and ridiculing national war policies. of in- timidation, interference. insult. as- sault and threats of violence to life and property. brought about a reign of lawlessness: invading the constitution al rights of the whole Body polite of the district.
 3. It is asserted by the sheriff that. because of the absence of state aid and failure to obtain relief from fed eral military: and due to the helpless ness of legal machinery to cope with a dangerous situation involving pris- oners beyond jail capacity and desir- ing to effect the removal of a menace; which in his judgment. could only re- suit in great loss of life. he proceeded with the help of deputies and a Citi- zens' posse to arrest alleged members of the l. w. w. and active sympath- izers and on the 18th of July forcibly deported them to the number of over 1900, into the state of New Mexico. and he accepts responsibility therefor.
 4. Undoubtedly number of persons not members of the 1. W. W. or afl- Hated with their activities, were in- cluded in this deportation. Some of those deported were forced to leave dependent families, business interests Or other Noperty.
 5. In the Warren district. since July 12. the constitutional rights of citi- zens and others have been ignored by processes not provided by law; viz-. by deputy sheriffs. who refused per sons admittance into the district. and the passing of judgment by a trib- unal without legal jurisdiction. result ing in further depOrtations. 6. Repeated requests. in letters and telegrams. from this department to the sheriff of Cochise county and the may or of Bisbee. bespeaking safe conduct of persons and committees. have met with refusal.
 :. The deportation of July 12 was carried out with little violence. the only serious incident having been the killing of an l. W. w. member who fatally shot a deputy sheriff while re- sisting arrest Prior to entraining. s number of persons included in the ar rest were invited to remain in the dis trict. They refused and proceeded with the others. Subsistence to the value of $1200 was distributed in the cars which carried the men out of the state, but much of this was destroyed by them in anger.
 s. Relief for families of deported persons has apparently been carried out by the Warren District Relief as- sociation in a thorough and compre- nensive manner. No case was discov- cred in which need was not promptly
