(By Review Leased Wirel. D..

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The feder-
al government today delivered a
second smashing blow at the law
less elements that have been ac-
tive in hindering the whole-hearted
prosecution of the war. The move
of the department of justice which
began weeks ago in simultaneous
raids on headquarters of the in
dustrial Workers Of the World
reached a climax with the indict-
ment in the federal courts of l66
leaders and members of that or
ganiZation and the prompt arres.
of more than 100 of them, includ-
ing William d. Haywood, the gem
eral secretary and treasurer. Hay
wood and the others were brought
in, in motor cars driven by so
ciety women, members of the navy
relief society who for weeks have
put their automobiles at the call
of agents of the department of JUS
tice.
Haywood was held IN $4,000
bond and others in $4,000. Some
of those taken in the first raid
proved to be merely loungers
about the Industrial Workers of
the World headquarters and were
released after being examined.

MAN IS
CALLED over
SEASTOWORK
OF RED CROSS
William H. Brophy, Head of
P. D. Mercantile Company,
Goes to France In Service
of the United States.

William H. Brophy. general man.
ager of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile
company, operating stores in Arizona
and New Mexico, and also president
of the Bank of Bisbee, vice president
of the Bank of Douglas and director
in other corporations, yesterday re-
ceived word from Washington that his
offer TO serve his country in Red Cross
work had been accepted, and ne has
been ordered to report at New York
in time to sail for France the middle
of next month. Mr.. Brophy plans
to leave here next week. He has
been granted leave of absence for the
term of the war by the Phelps Dodge
corporation, and therefore will not
permanently sever his connections
with the mercantile end of this COM
pany's Arizona activities.
Received Word Yesterday
Some months ago Mr.. Brophy de-
cided that he would undertake to do
his bit for his country, so he offered
Red Cross work. Big men are needed
badly for the tremendous task ahead
of the government in France; men
of business and executive ability, as
well as fighters. Mr.. Brophy's name
and proffer of services went forward
through the official channels. And
as a result a telegram came to him
from Washington yesterday inform
ing him that Major Grayson T. Muir
ply, the presidents representative in
France at the head of active Red
Cross work, had cabled requesting
that this Bisbee business man be sent
over at once.
His particular task or post was not
assigned in the cable, but there is a
place and a need for him "over there"
and he will go.
Prominent in Southwest
William H. Brophy is regarded as
one of the best business men of the
Southwest. His keen mind and tire
less activity and long years of sue
cess in a big business. undertaking
have won for him his prominent place
in Arizona business circles. Cochise
county people will note with salts
faction that he is only going away on
leave OF absence, and that therefore
ne will return with the end of the
war and resume his duties in the city
ttsharn hn hoc 1ipnl
and made so many friends. And they
will applaud his patriotic determine
tion to do something for his country
in this time of crisis. when every
arm and brain are needed to serve
the end that will result in final vic
tory.
Son Is Away
Mr.. Brophy's son, Frank c. Brophy,
is a second lieutenant in the new
National army and is now stationed at
Washington. The father will prob
ably beat his soldier boy to France.
The business of the Phelps Dodge
stores will be carried on the same
by Mr.. Brophy's staff of assistants,
trained in his policies, and by his
methods and ideas.
Being a volunteer in this great work
of the Red Cross, Mr.. Grophy goes
to France at his own expense and
without salary of any kind, just as
the big business and professional men
of many states OF the Union are do
ing every day.
