Mediation Commission Leaves Bisbee This Morning for San Francisco. United States Administrator Appointed.

AOHDltlC was ItdChCQ yesterday between President Wilson's mediation commission, headed by Sec retary of. Labor W B. Wilson. and the operators of the Warren district. The understanding, which goes into effect at once, provides for the ap- pointment Of a United States admin istrator. in the person of Hywel Da- vies, and for the submission Of all disputes between employers and em- ployees. first through the grievance committees to the companies and then to the administrator. The commis- sion leaves this morning for San Fran cisco.
 The commission, which has already investigated conditions at Globe, Mi ami, Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf, ar rived in Bisbee last Thursday morn ing. The members took up informal hearings with those who had com pleints to make, first then with the officials of the city and county. then with men who had worked steadily for mouths and lastly with the opera tors. According to the plan, as adopted by the commission and the operators. which win govern during the period of the war, labor trouble is forbid den. The grievance committees, pro- vided for, and the administrator would prevent any misunderstanding com ing to a final head.
 Meets With Approval. Complete approval of the plan ap- pears to be the attitude of all con cerned; the commission, operators, miners, business men of the Warren district and officers of the county. IL seemed to be the unanimous concli;- sion that all were striving to the end that an uninterrupted production of copper, at maximum capacity, was the greatest need and that any sacrifices should be made to that end.
 Secretary of Labor Wilson and the commission, through the secretary. Fe- lix Frankfurter, expressed themselves as being pleased with the outcome of the negotiations in Bisbee. They state that healthy, peaceful relations should be the outcome of the agreement"
 Mover Rumor Denied.
 Concerning rumors which have been current in the district since Sunday to the effect that President Chas. F. Mover, of the l. U. NJ. M. s. W. came here with the commission with the understanding that during its pres ence and under its protection he would ' organize a Warren district local of the Western Federation, Secretary Wilson last evening pointed. when the rumors were brought to his attention, to the clauses in the proposal to the mining companies in which it Is ex- plicitly set forth that there shall be no discrimination between union and non-union labor-in other words, that the open shop shall prevail.
 There is complete answer in these clauses to any such rumor," said the secretary We are neither for or against the union or union organiza- tion.
 "Mr. Mover is not affiliated with the commission in any way. The or ganization or encouragement of unions is in no way the business or concern of the commission.
 Though under no obligation to the | commission and not under its direc : tion, MT. Mover has said in response to the request of the commission that he will do nothing in the Warren dis trict or elsewhere in Arizona that is | not in accord with its agreements, in- i cluding no discrimination between un- ion and non-union men and no strikes
 This wholly frank response cannot be accepted as anything other than a complete Announcement of any report ed relationship between Mir. Mover and the commission or the secretary of la bor. It terminates pointedly the slight | est chance for any such association being made to stick by imposters and rumor mongers, here or elsewhere in the state.
 Leave For Coast. On account of the troubles which are now at a breaking point on the Pacific coast between the Pacific Tel ephone and Telegraph company and its employees the commission leaves this morning for San Francisco instead of going from Bisbee to Jerome.
 Instead the commission has appoint ed Judge Ernest W. Lewis, of Phoe- nix. as mediator for Jerome. Judge Lewis will go to Jerome and make every effort to put into effect a sim liar agreement as that reached in this district.
 The Completed Agreement. The agreement as reached, ad- dressed to the operators, detailing the various clauses, follows:
