SAYS MINERS
Won 7 STRIKE
Arizona Union Official De.
MES Strike Impending for
Sc and Seven Hours.

Globe, Artz-, Feb. 27--The miners
of Arizona are not contemplating
striking on March l for a IS wage
scale and a seven hour day. according
to P. H Brouillette. secretary OF the
Globe Miners union.
The report has gained wide cir
culation from unknown sources and
has caused the union officials much
anxiety" said secretary Brouillette.
TT is entirely without foundation.
Union officials have not even dis
cussed such a possibility"
There is a suspicion that I. W. w.
influences. which are endeavoring to
make themselves felt both at Bisbee
and Globe, are responsible for the cir
culation Of the rumors which have
gained wide currency.
Hunt BIames 1t On Mine Owners.
Phoenix, Ariz. Feb. 27.-'T do not
think that there will be a strike"
said governor Hunt, today, but if
there is and the situation becomes
critical I will not hesitate to recon-
mend to the president that he take
over the mines, declare martial law
and send in troops.
Says Miners Are More Loyal.
There is no need of a strike of the
copper miners in Arizona. The men
don't want to strike but there are
those who would like to see a strike
in this state. But there won't be any
fooling about the measures I shall
take just as soon as 1 deem il neces-
sary. I suppose that my request to
the president that the troops be with
drawn from the Globe-AIiami district
has had something to do with these
rumors of strikes to be inaugurated.
There is no need for these troops
there now.
Il can go before the world and
show that the copper miners here are
patriotic and loyal to the government.
If the mine owners themselves were
even half as loyal as the men there
would be no rumors Of strikes"

URGES NONRESIDENTS TO
RENDER PROPERTY FOR TAX

County assessor John T. Cain has
inaugurated a practice that is in
tended to reduce the size of the IN
rendered tax rolls considerably. He
is sending out notices to nonresidents
y no have been neglecting 10 render
their FL Paso property, the notices
urging them to render it in order
that their correct addresses might be
on file and they might be notified
when taxes are due, thus saving them
the trouble following the accrual Of
penalties.
Mr. Cain says there are 400 or 500
nonresident owners on the unren-
dered roll. He believes that If their
property is rendered, they viii have
a greater interest in the county and
that the number Of delinquents will
thereby be greatly reduced
As a rule taxes are paid promptly
on rendered property. but the average
unrendered piece Of property becomes
delinquent, Mr.. Cain said.
