in which the letter F. was written in
two sets of letters introduced in con-

deciding factors in the trial.
In two letters written by Piersol to
Taylor Adams. who was jointly indicted
with him on the kidnapping charge,
the small F. occurred many times and
invariably was written with the loops

was written in the customary manner.

The big guns on both sides. however,

SECRETARY WILSON SAYS NO
COMPROMISE REACHED With
STRIKERS BY THE OPERATORS
Republican A.P. Leased Wirel

GLOBE, Oct. 11.-Operators OF cop
per mines in the Globe Miami district
have reached no compromise with the
strikers on the basis suggested by the
union, according to a statement made
tonight by Secretary of Labor Wilson,
who Is presiding at the inquiry here
by the industrial commission. He
positively denied that both the oper-
ators and miners had agreed to place
final settlement of the strike in the
hands of the commission, as indicated
in a dispatch from Washington.
The secretary said:
we have not interviewed the oper-
ators as yet. The striking miners have
agreed to abide by any decision the
commission may make provided that
the mine operators will likewise agree
to abide by the decision of the COM
mission. AS we have not yet inter
viewed the mine operators we do not
know what attitude they will take
I'VE are not as yet hearing the OPP
orators, but expect TO do so as soon
as we have concluded our hearings of
the men at work"
The secretary was asked how long
it would be before the operators are
requested to appear before the COM
mission. He said that at the rate the
hearings are proceeding now it will
probably be Saturday before the min
ing men are summoned.
Joseph S. Myers, member of the
commission announced tonight that
he will depart from Globe tomorrow
morning for Fort Smith, Ark, as con-
ciliator in a Bell telephone strike in
volving eighty operators.

The girls story was told with
