MORE DEPORTATIONS.

The further deportations which l have taken place in the Southwest, | this time in Gallup, New Mexico are unquestionably the result of the eX- ample set with perfect impunity by the copper companies ill Bisbee.
 Today, it is the correct thing to deport men to some other section of the earth if they ask for such wages as will meet the higher costs of living.
 That these lawless outrages are permitted to go on without any at tempt to prevent them is not calcu- lated to give the workers an over shadowing idea of the freedom which they here posses.
 At the same time. those who ob- serve this condition. and simply emit a sigh of satis- action that at last the right way Ias been dis covered 10 handle labor that will not accept such conditions as are imposed upon it. might as well realize ;,rst as last that :hey are playing with ire. The workers are patent hut there is a limit U patience, ana that lim., is being approached now with greater speed than ever before Ill the history of tho relations be- twecn employers and emrlcHe!
 The great desire Of the immense majority of people, workers among ,he rest. is to live in quiet and II conditions are at all acceptable and fojerable to accept them and toIe- rat. them: to make the best of the situation.
 In the meantime there are certain forces in human society proceeding which simply prevent conditions frou maintaining an unchanglhs attitude: these are economic forces which affect those who own ana therefore employ and those who do not own and who therefore produce profits for an other as the price and privilege oi their employu ent. The varying nrices. the change fin the costs or living. due in a measure to an lh- jansifed demand. an artificial con trol of the supply and the decreas- ing value of gold and it's purchasing power due to over production and ,ossened production costs, all or these things prohaaiE A-r'"- A De ing the cause of the aAy--.1H .rlceS That prevail, prevent the conditions which were tolerable and acceptable yesterday being tolerable and ac- roptable today. Hence the effort mat the workers are making to establish q better relation between the costs cf living and the wages which are being paid. At no tune in the history of the nation nave nrofts in coal and metal mining been so extenisve; at no time nave orders been so rushing. And II IS nrged that the war needs oi the nat;on have to be met by this ln- dnstry.
 Put while an effort on the part of the workers to increase the price of their commodity, labor power, Is bitterly resented by those who buy if inc superior control which own erbip of the country's resources gives proprietors enables them to claim enormous profits without any attempt at justification, or without establishing any relations between the production costs and the com modity sold.
 Profits unlimited for one class, rontentment with conditions before the war for the o'her is the doctrine that IS preached on every hand. The req son of course is because the inter ests which control the resources control also the press, and the fact is that this doctrine of passing It all to the workers is being rejected.
 It is figured today by Washing ton that there are now three hund- red capital strikes in the United States, How many little differences, cropping up and quickly settled or continuing unadjusted but numeri- callv affecting so few men that it is nnrecorded, one cannot say
