ter, but she feels mighty fortunate TO
have gotten out of the smashup with
no worse injuries than she did get.

Police Halt Phoenix 1. w. w. Meeting

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 15.-The first action against hundreds of members of the I. w. w. who are said by police officials to be making for Phoenix to hold an Arizona convention of the or ganizatiOn, was taken today when city police officers arrested two alleged i. ". w. leaders who were addressing meeting in East Lake park. At the approach of the police the crowd scat tered and the officers were able to ar rest only two. Both are being held for further investigation.
 Within the past two days, officers say, upwards of $50 members of the I. w. w. have arrived in Phoenix from Jerome, where the mines already have been closed down, and from Globe and Miami. Officials estimate the present l. W. W. strength in Phoenix and the Salt river valley at 2O00. Three months ago. they say, it was 500.
 This afternoon handbills appeared on the streets calling a meeting to- morrow of the sO-called soldiers, sail Ors and workers council which was or ganized a week ago. Since this body was formed a number of soldiers and sailors have organized the soldiers and sailors benefit association, through which they have issued .. statement repudiating the other body.
