CAMPBELL ON LABOR TROUBLE

district is without Iega, status and
must Immediately cease.
The duties of the sheriff are ex-
ecutive and the powers Of himself
and his deputies must be so mSMsur-
ed All persons arrested for iAfringe-
ment of the law, or by warrant, must
be accorded a thorough investigation
before a legally constituted court to
the end that innocence or guilt be
promptly established. The rights
of sheriffs and deputies to search and
detain must be exercised with eau
ton and Judgment and with the
least inconvenience aud expense to
the public.
"Henceforth, | shall look to the
officials of Cochise and all Arizona
counties for cooperation in the en-
forcement of the laws. 1t will be
disgraceful blot on the history of
this state if we, the responsible Off
GERS, are obliged to admit that our
proper functions for the administra-
ton and preservation of law and
order have broken down and that
the last resort, martial law, must
be invoked.
Labor unions responsible TO cen
traliZed authority and founded upon
sane, economic principles, are right
fully a part of our industrial system,
that consideration which is legally
and morally their right. In like re-
gard do | hold the law-abiding work
er who is not affiliated with unions,
believing that every one has the
right of opinion and action, within
legal bounds, without interference
with or intimidation Of personal
liberty, the mightiest pillar in our
sacred constitution.
But the principles of the Indus
trial Workers Of the World are
stencil in the nostrils of decent Amer
leans. In so far as my power, as
governor Of Arizona, extends, | shall
not tolerate in the remOtest degree,
their application in Arizona. A
menace to civic well-being and in
dustrial progress in time of peace, the
federation of such doctrine during
state of war is treason.
I'm my inaugural address J ex-
pressed the belief, in reference to the
subject of labor and capital:
"A due regard for the interests
and future prosperity of all the peo-
pie and a full development Of our
industrial and natural resources de-
mand the establishment of correct
principles in our economic laws and
a better understanding between la
Dor and capital. This problem is
charged with great difficulties and
is one which is of the highest impor-
tance to solve on lines Of common
sense and a devotion to the right.
We are living today in all age of
federation and combination. Busi
ness men find that they must work
through corporations, laboring men
find it necessary to work in fedora
ton, and both have become factors
of modern industrial life. Both
kinds of federation, capitalistic and
labor, can do much good; likewise
they can do much evil. Each must
refrain from arbitrary or dictatorial
interference with the rights Of
others. Organized capital and or
ganized labor must know that in the
end they must be brought into har-
est OF the general public; and the
conduct of each must conform to the
fundamental rules of obedience to
the law, of individual freedom, and of
justice and fair dealing to all. Every
employer, every wage-WOrker, must
be guaranteed his liberty and his
right to do as he likes with his prop
erty or his labor, so long as he does
not infringe upon the rights of
others.
We, as a people, have a govern
ment worthy of our full respect and
affection, a dominion magnificent in
extent, good to look upon, a place
for happy homes and full of gener-
Gus suggestions and labor God has
placed upon our heads a crown of
wonderful sunlight and has laid at
our feet wealth beyond calculation.
