 article of the letter, except insofar
 as much right is restricted by the
 orderly process of law" this referring
 to the right of all persons 10 erter the
 district
 The sheriff, in his reply, takes the
 ground that the orderly process of
 law under present state and war
 emergency conditions, the very ex-
 istence of the commission providing
 one of these emergency illustrations,
 covers a far wider scope than ever
 before His letter therefore is wholly
 non-committal.
 ! That the commission expected such
 reply. and that it was acceptable to [ it, is considered established by the
 fact that the sheriff's letter reached ] it Tuesday afternoon and was then
 read. without criticism expressed and
 without the sheriff being asked to-
 make any change in his response. He
 remained in the city overnight and until after the departure of the com mission yesterday. subject to it's call.

 Commissions Letter | Hon. Harry c. Wheeler, Sheriff of Cochise County. Bisbee. Ariz.
 My Dear MT. Sheriff:
 After thorough and impartial con sideration of the facts surrounding the deportation of the 18th of July and the practices which have beenl pursued since such deportation byl those in authority in Cochise county. the presidents mediation commis- sion is convinced that once your at- tention is directed to practices which are subversive of industhial peace and denials of lawful rights. you will promptly take the necessary steps to | have such practices abandoned. Spe- cifically the presidents mediation com mission asks your assurance that the following requirements of law and or der, will be respected both in letter and in spirit:
 (1l The right to unimpeded ad- mittance into the Warren district of all who seek entrance into it in a lawful and peaceable manner should he respected Therefore. all deputy sheriffs now serving as patrol or pickets on the outskirts of the dis trict for the purpose of passing judg- ment on the right of any one to en- ter the district should. be at once withdrawn from such service, nor should deputies hereafter be stationed for such purpose. This, of course, is in no wise intended to liimt the au- thority of the sheriff. under the usual restrictions of the law, to utilize deputies for the detection and pre- vention of acts declared crimes by the statutes of the state of ArZona or of the United States. It is clearly to be understood, however. that this of the sheriff. as the law officer of the county, is not to be used by any e his deputies as means of interfering with any one the district because he was among those deported on July F, or because he is deemed to be a sympathizer with those deported, or simply because his presence is deem ed to be undesirable.
 (2) The right of all persons free ly to move about the Warren dis trict orto continue to reside within 1t must be scrupulously respected, ex- cept in so far as such right is re- stricted by the orderly process of law.
 At this time, when our country has dedicated its very life to the estab- ishment of respect for law among he nations of the world, it is espe- ,ially indispensable that law must DC expected at home.
 Cordially yonrs, w B. WILSON, Secretary of Labor, Chairman of the
 Presidents Mediation Commission.
