Federal Judge William II. Sawtelle
in Tucson said an inspection of the
indictments would not be allowed un-
til official notification had been re-
ceived that all the men indicted had
been taken into custody.
Judge Sawtelle in his charge to the
jury last week instructed that not
only should the charge of conspiracy
to deprive citizens of their rights be
considered, but that the question of
the obstruction of the draft in de-
porting large number of registered
men also should be considered.
The deportation of the 1,1S6 men
in connection with the federal grand
jury returned indictments took place
from Bisbee July II, 1917 when armed
citizens, led by Sheriff Wheeler,
rounded up the men and also three
women and loaded them on n special

The train, guarded by armed mem

started for the state line. it being
planned to detrain at Columbus, N.

William B. Wilson, made n trip to

THIS IS WORTH PRINTING AGAIN

The best answer to the organized
business interests of the nation which
are trying to take advantage of war
conditions to establish the open shop
in industry may be found in the re-
port of the commission on indust rial
relations, which says:t
Instead of an elaborate machinery
for the prevention of strikes or lock-
outs we are convinced, from the testi-
mony gathered by the commission,
that the most effectual course that
can be pursued to bring about a gen
eral contentment among our people,
based upon humane standard of liv-
ing, is the promotion of labor organi-
cations. The most casual investiga-
tor will soon discover that III those
lines of industry where organization
of labor is the strongest, there is the
least danger of industrial revolt that
would endanger the fundamental prin-
ciples of our government and the

TRANSFERS ARE
STILL ON STRIKE
TRANSFER COMPANIES RE-
FUSE TO RAISE WAGES.
One-HOur Strike of All Teamsters
Tuesday Showed How Transports
tion in Denver Could Be Tied Up;
No Change in Metal Trades.

The strike of Teamsters, Chauffeurs,
Stablemen and Helpers Union No. SIS
against sixteen Denver transfer COM
panies is still on, in spite of publica-
ton of stories and advertisements in
the daily papers to the contrary.
Three hundred members of the union
have been out for two weeks to en-
force a just wage increase, but the
employers have refused to agree to
terms.
Tuesday morning 500 teamsters and
chauffeurs employed in other branches
quit work for one hour in order to
impress the transfer men and others
with the fact that the union could tie
up all transfer service in the city if
so disposed. The men who quit for
one hour are receiving the union scale.
j. C. Devring of Chicago, general
organizer International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen
and Helpers of America, arrived in
Denver last Saturday and is in charge
of the strike for the local union, as
sisted by Business Agent James G.
Bonnell of No. 575.
The matter was taken up Friday
by the state industrial commission,
and the state labor commissioner
office has been endeavoring to bring
about a settlement.
Some of the transfer men want to
sign up with the union, but a few OBJ
stinate ones, influenced by Herb
George the Moocher, are holding out
for the open shop and low wages to
employees.
There has been no change in the
metal trades strike during the past
week other than that another ship
ment of about seventy men has been
made for government work in the ship
yards on the Pacific coast. Less than
half the original striking machinsts,
boilermakers, blacksmiths and pat
ternmakers remain in Denver. This
is another instance where the helping

doing great hurt to Denver interests.

Director General McAdoo of the
United States railroad administration
announces that he has just awarded
contracts for the immediate construc-
ton of / ,025 modern locomotives. De-
llveries are to begin in July and con-
tinue monthly during the remainder of
the year.
The locomotives are of six standard
types-one heavy and one light of
each Empowering both freight and
passenger service, and vary in weight
from 100000 pounds to $4,000
pounds. The order involves an ex-
penditure of approximately $60,000,-
900. The engines will be allotted,
upon completion, to the various rail
road systems where they are most
needed.
The awarding of this contract marks
the establishment by the government
of the standard type of locomotives,
specifications for which have been de-
veloped and perfected by committees
of experts, who for many weeks have
devoted much time and study to the
subject.
The six standard types of locomo-
tives, two sizes of each class, are ex-
pected eventually to supersede the
many miscellaneous types and varie-
embracing engines built according to
500 or more varying specifications.

journalists, professional men of all
kinds-who have reached the conclu-
sion that is herein stated, that the
most efficient cure for such industrial
unrest as should be cured, is union
organization.
We hold that efforts to stay the
organization of labor or to restrict
the right. of employees to organize
should not be tolerated, but that the
opposite policy should prevail and
the organization of the trade unions
and of the employers organizations
should be promoted, not, however, for
the sole purpose of collective bargain
ing and the establishing of industrial
good will. Organization of employ
ers that have no object in view ex-
cept to prevent labor having voice
in fixing the conditions of industry
under which it is employed, have no
excuse for existence, as they are bar
to social tranquility and detriment
to the economic progress of our coun-
try. The evidence before the commits
sion shows that organized labor has
no desire, nor has it attempted, to
control the business of the employer.
1t insists that it has right to a
voice, and a potent voice in determin-
ing the conditions under which it shall
work. This attitude, we are sure, will
be continued in spite of the opposi-
tion of organizations. This country
is no longer field for slavery, and
where men and women are compelled,
in order that they may live, to work
under conditions in determining which
they have no voice, they are not far
removed from condition existing un-
der feudalism or slavery.
