DISTRICT BOARD AT
 TUCSON REVERSES
 THE LOCAL BOARD
All Cases of Married Men Are Reversed Where They Have No Dependents. List of Some Reversed

The district board at Tucson on Thursday reversed the action of the Cochise County board in allowing many claims of married men accord ing to the Tucson Star which has the following article on the action of the District Board in it's issue of yester- cay:
 ''One out of every three exemptions allowed by the local board of Cochise county were reversed yesterday at the meeting of the district board, on the basis that the local board had appar- ently systematically exempted every married man on the evidence of his marriage, irrespective of the depend ency of his wife or family.
 This action clashed directly with the rule laid down Wednesday by the district board that married man would not be exempt unless it was shown that his wife was sick, depend ent on him for personal care or abso- lutely dependent upon him. A mar ried man with children would not be accepted unless it was clearly shown that his family was independent of him.

 "The returns from Graham county were marked by many appeals. County Attorney W. R. Chambers was the first official to question the action of the focal board.

MINERS ID GALLUP WHERE STRIKE HAS
 BEEN 0N FOR DAYS
Two Coaches Loaded With New Men Arrive in New Mexico Coal Camp to Re place Strikers. No intimi- dalton in Town
(By Review Leased Wire.)

GALLUP, N. M., Aug. 24.-Two coach loads of miners arrived last night to take the places of the strik- ing miners at the Gallup-American Coal company's mines here, and more miners are on the way, it was an nounced by the company tonight.
 Company officials said conditions in the mines are rapidly returning to normal and that many strikers had applied for their old positions.
 Miners belonging to the United Mine Workers of America have been on strike here for several weeks, charging the company broke contract relations with their union when it assumed control after purchase of the mines from the Victor-American Fuel company.
 A copy of the report made by the district attorney on conditions in Gal lup, made after a personal investiga- tion was received here today and does not substantiate charges made by the union leaders that armed guards have been parading the streets, terrorizing the people. The report adds that the civil authorities have proved they can handle the strike situation.
