 Many Enter District.
 It is confidently expected that few weeks will see the usual tonnage gO- ing out of Bisbee to the smelters at Douglas. People are coming into the District as we'll as leaving. All who are entering appear to be coming here for work. Many reported yesterday and in nearly every case brought a letter from some prominent resident of their home or from the town in which they formerly resided. attesting to their citizenship and character. In each case these men were welcomed.
 Rustling Cards Possible
 Rustling cards will. in all probabil- ity, be a new feature of the mining operations of ehe Warren District The Citizens Protective League in- tends to issue every newcomer a card. after a thorough investigation. This card will permit of the man to go to the employment office of the various companies operating in the camp. A man without a card will even get to the employment office; he will be taken care of by the committee.
 Several l. W. W.'s were investigated yesterday by the Citizens Protective League and the Workmen's Loyalty League. Several left the city last night flor other points.

 Were Injuring U. S.
 But I cannot think the United States will force those men upon us after we took the action we did through pure Americanism and did what we did because we honestly felt those men were injuring the best interest of the United States.
 Tt was not an ordinary labor dispute and cannot and will not believe the government will cen sure us for doing what we did for the government.

 We believe We were justified in doing what We did for the safe ty of the women and children of this district and we acted when there was nothing else left for us to do.
