No Conference.

PHOENIX, May 27.-After a con ference with ]. l.. Donnelly, presi- dent of the Arizona Federation of Labor and member of the State De- fensc Council, Governor Campbell to- day decided not to call upon the mine owners and the strikers at Jerome to send men to a meeting to talk over the closed shop Mir Donnelly told the governor he believed the time no, ripe for such a conference.
 It was after this conference that the governor concluded to go to Je- rome, to see what could be done tC bring the miners and the operators together. and to stop the strike, in order that one of Arizona's greatest copper producers might continue its important work unhampercd.
 The governor received a message from Sheriff ]. F. Young of Yavapai county, in charge of keeping the peace at Jerome, saying his authority was not sufficient to protect lives and

 It was announced that the Arkansas & Arizona mine would resume opera ton immediately as a result of the protest by W. H. Galligan, superin- tendent of the mine, who returned last night and informed union leaders that no demands had been made upon him. He secured permission for the men to return until he presented their demands to the company headquar- ters in New York.
 Mrs. Clarence V. Hopkins, wife of the chief engineer Of the United Yer de. addressed the strikers in the union hall tonight, and promised to use her efforts to settle the dispute. She said her "heart was with the strikers" and than she believed within five days she could secure terms acceptable to the strikers.

emergency the employer has no right to interfere with you in your efforts to organize the workers into unions, just as you have no right to interfere with capitalists organizing capital in to corporations. You can get a con- dition where efforts to organize the workers are not interfered with, and where a scale of wages IS recognized that maintains the present standing of living. It occurs to me that for the time being no stoppage of work should take place for the purpose oi forcing recognition of the union Of course that would not interfere with the employers and yourselves enter ing into any arrangement for recog- milton that might be mutually agree able My judgment is that where our workers have been unable to force recognition of their unions in normal times they should not take advantage of the country's necessities to force recognition of the unions now, If the workers are left free to organize, and conditions of employment secured which will maintain the standards of living existing before war was de clared. For the same reason employ CTS who have heretofore recognized and dealt with trade unions should not take advantage of the country's necessities to force abandonment of the union Please wire answer.

JEROME, May 2S - Governor Campbell with his big sombrero and his promise to remain on the ground until the strike controversy is settled without possible re-occurrence, prob ably prevented serious bloodshed in Jerome, his home town, tonight.
 After a quiet afternoon it looked as though crowd had started a dis orderly demonstration especially for tho governor and Colonel James c. Hornbook, who arrived on the G O. clock train Upon their arrival Camp bell and Hornbook went into confer ence at a downtown hotel with John Mcbride, who came at noon and spent the afternoon with the strike leaders From their window they had a good view Of what went forward
 The o'clock shift of the United Verde, which had been held in the hope that the crowd gathered along the road 10 the mine would disperse. came down the hill guarded by Is mounted deputies. For the first time the deputies were armed with rifles. Heretofore they merely had carried revolvers under their coats. The crowd, over a thousand strong and others who were merely looking for excitement. jcered the "Scabs" right by Governor Campbclls hotel and pushed them clear 10 Mexican town. Many threats were yelled al the depu- ties but no concerted move was made against them. Soon after the depu- ties returned from seeing their charg- cs to their homes, the strikers attack cd a Mexican whom they said made move to draw a revolver. They took the weapon from him and carried him to the city jail Officers locked him up. This was done when the word spread that two working min CTS, armed, had been chased out to- ward Hill canyon, southwest of town. The crowd stampeded in that direc- ton, when w. A.

troops. He told them the soldiers, ii they came, would be merely men like themselves and under the orders oi officers, and said if the strikers obey ed the orders of their officers and leaders there would be no necessity of their coming. He expressed the hope that the efforts of Campbell and Mcbride would result in a speedy conclusion.
 w. A. Burns. a member of the in iernational union executive commit tee, charged that the responsibility for the present strike rests not alone on the miners but on the merchants who charge outrageous prices for the ne. cessities of life. He said the prices here and the freight rates are not sufficient to explain the discrepancy.
 (. w. Clark. general manager of the United Verde, arrived tonight ana went into conference with Superin- tendent Robert Tally. He promised a statement for the press tomorrow. He said all matters would be up to Tally to handle as he was not entirely familiar with the situation. Clark will meet Mcbride, Campbell and Hornbook, Tuesday
 The general impression is growing that if a settlement is made it must involve some vital reduction in the cost of living.
 The strikers denounced the action of the council in notifying women and children to remain away from the business section. They are parading a banner saying: The union will protect the women and children. It did SO before the strike and will do SO now"
