war with Germany to a successful con- clusion. Although they were given gentle hint, nothing in that line for President Donnelly.. The stress of war to him seems to be a kind of myth. It. is strange to me that resolution couldn't have been passed. Here is our country at war with Germany's babarism; we are in the fight to protect our United States from Germany's carnage if she should happen to win-but never will and she knowsN it. We are fighting for our futdre, peace and the worlds liberty even for such men as were in the | convention. Liberty Bonds or subscribing to the Red Cross fund is no sacrifice. Our brave soldiers are giving their pre- cious lives for the cause of freedom and yet the convention could not form telegram to send to the President upholding him to the last in our freedoms fight.
 When reading about the different battles in the great war those Of us that are beyond military age and are further on life's journey should slow our patriotism at home in all the ways we can and encourage our President in every way. God help ing us we can do no other.
 Our country, in her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong "-Stephen Decatur.

It is just as much opposed to organized labor as it is to capital, it avows itself the enemy of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and it's af- filiated bodies and yet the convention passed no resolution condemning their anarchism all over the country. One would think that they approved Of it. It clearly shows how incon- sistent and thoughtless some people can be at a labor convention with delegates from different parts of Ari zona. So to my mind it wasn't much of a distinction to have been a dele gate to the convention of the Ari- zona State Federation of Labor

 FEDERATION LABOR
Editor of the Copper Era:

Editor of the Copper Era:
 In perusing the Era of Aug. 10th read with much interest the pro- ceedings of the convention of the Ari- zcna State Federation of Labor, held in Clifton from August 9th to 10th :. find during the afternoon of the first day President Donnelly took it upon himself to frame an arrogant telegram to President Wilson, which was ratified by the convention, con- corning the deportation of the Bis bee 1. w. w. s to Columbus, N. M :. The telegram could have been word ed differently and still have made known what they wanted. But they should have known in the first place that the deportation was entirely a state matter. It clearly shows that our President is onto his duties" as the telegram's request for an answer was ignored I find also that the proceedings on the first day were opened by the band playing the National Anthem. "The Star Spangled Banner" but the music at that time could easily have ben dis pensed with as it would have been far better to send a musical tele- gram at the time to the President commenting him for his patriotic stand against Germany's barbarism But no. Nothing whatever was done. What the convention badly needed was German bomb to fall on their proceedings to wake their patriotism up bit. Another case of thoughtfulness and woeful lack of patriotism with it's comfort to the enemy.
 Representative Hayden at Washing ton asked the convention for coDi ,s of any resolutions passed by them relative to the I. W. W.'s and also relating to the prosecution of the

 SAMUEL GOMPERS."
 It is now up to Donnelly to frame telegram to his chief and have him to understand that anything pertain ing to Loyalty Leagues in Arizona must be referred to him. The con- vertion fits in the common prayer tc dot, We have done those things which ought not to have been done, and we have left undone those things which ought to have been done" So it's case of forgiving the majority of delegates for letting themselves be domineered by few Red Flaggers. In my judgment the convention has ben weighed in the balance and found wanting.
 Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may. There's a reason: Yours for the good will of the en- ployer to the employee and the good will of the employee to the employer, with my sincere hopes that the wheels of industry will be going full blast by September 1st. with co-opera tion as the watchword and loyalty the key to the situation for future peace and prospeity.
 Yours sincerely,

mands. What he needs is a good lecture from his chief, MT. Samuel Gompers on unselfish patriotism and everything else that pertains to be a good American citizen.
 At the hour when war for this na- tion was all but certain, the execu- tive of the American Federation of Labor issued public statement which received no end of favorable comment from the public by reason of it's patriotic sentiment. It declar- ed among other things that should our country be drawn into the males trom of European conflict we, with these ideals of liberty and justice herein declared, as the indispensable basis for national policies, offer our services to our country in every field of activity to defend, safeguard and preserve the republic of the United States of America against its enemies whomsover they may be, and we call upon our fellow citizens in the holy name of LABOR, JUSTICE, FREEDOM and HUMANITY to devot edly and patriotically give like ser vice .'
 How do you like the above pa triotic sentiments MT. Donnelly |? Lots or QlHerence between GOmperS- ism and Donnelly-ism. Isn't there9 Just as much difference as between chalk and cheese. But it is not too late to reform. Do it now.
 I find from the Fl Paso Herald of August 11th that the convention found time to denounce all Loyalty Leagues in Arizona and any union member joining such league would be expelled from the ranks of or ganized labor but MT. Samuel Comp CTS. head of the American Federation of Labor. the parent of the Arizona Federation, approves of such leagues In reply to a telegram sent him by some union members in Bisbee about affiliating with any organization but their own MT.
