ILL DEPORTATION
 BLAME IS ASSUMED BY HARRY WHEELER
Ex-Sher;ff of Cochise County Issues
 Statement Standing by ProcIama-
 ton in 1917 Assuming Full Respon- sibility. ..

Douglas, Arizona. September 16.- Captain Harry c. Wheeler, United States reserves. former sheriff of CO- chise county, issued statement to- lday in which he again assumed full Responsibility for the deportaton of more than l, 100 men from Bisbee July fl2 1917 in connection with I. w. W. strike troubles, and expressed the de- sire that the state should discharge from custody all of his deputies who served at that time under his orders. T insisted upon being bound over for trial yesterday on the charge of kidnapping because I am the man re- |spo~sible for the deportations. The county attorney said there was no |evidence to show that I had any con |nection with the affair but it seems Ito me that the proclamation I issued as fheriff July 12, 1917, announcing jthaI I had deputized hundreds of citi- |zens and assumed full responsibility ] for the deportations should be proof >enough that I had considerable to do awtih the affair.
 T have never denied my part in the ! Appropriations and I am willing and wish right new that all of the citizens arrested and bound over so far would
 be released and I, alone, be held for | trial for any wrong that may be charg- led. The majority of the citizens who took part in the deportations were my deputies and whatever they did JHvas in discharge of their duties as deputy sheriffs in my posse.''

London, Sept. l2.-Harold E.
Yarrow, OF the great Glasgow firm
of Yarrow and Company has return
ID from America to scoff at the SCOT
Iers who will not believe that Amer
Ca can build. has built and will con-
tinue to build ships.
An expert in his line and hard
headed business man with full un-
derstanding of engineering prob
lens, Yarrow sounds this warning
to England, which has been SUI
preme throughout the world in
building and operation of ships:
U. S. Taking Lead.
"If this country does not look
out it will wake up one morning
to find we are no longer the lead
ing maritime nation, and it will
then be too late to regain our posi-
ton"
Yarrow started at Portland, sub
sequently visited shipyards in Bos-
ton and worked down the coast to
Newport News. He later inspected
the lakes district shipbuilding plants
and wound up with a trip up the
west coast from Los Angeles to
Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver.
Doing Good Work.
The truth is Americans are
building ships not less efficiently
than we are" he declared. That,
a
significant admission from a lead
ing shipping magnate Of the nation
which has ruled the seas.
Their costs of construction are
slowly but surely approximating to
our own. | draw these conclusions
rot from things which | have heard,
out from things which | have seen.
my conclusion is that the Brit
ish worker is dangerously deluding
himself in imagining that United
States competition is more or less
negligible.
u. S. Steel is Best.
THE American steel works are,
I imagine, better on the average
than ours. found everywhere well
equipped shipyards. Layouts are
generally excellent from the point
of view OF efficiency; the cost OF
handling materials has been greatly
reduced by the installation of good
lifting apparatus. There is no
labor resistance, either active or
passive. to the employment of pneu-
matte riveting. Powerful up-to-date
air COMPRISING plants are the rule:
Electric welding is not regarded
unsympathetically by trade union
ists. and the supply Of men for prac-
tically ali purposes is adequate
Fear Labor Devices.
In England it should be explained,
labor looks askance at most new
labor saving devices. American
labor accepts scientific invention
without suspicion, and this invarl-
ably is a surprise to British indus
trail men who visit the states.
Yarrow predicts that the time is
not far off when the production
cost of America and England will
be practically the same. He be-
lieves, he says. in high wages, that
the men may live in comfort. But,
while sounding a warning to the
business world of the country
against danger of American compe-
tition, he is at the same time warn
ing the workingmen that ii they
are to get the high wages they
must deliver increased output: He
clinhces both arguments with the
warning that unless increased out
put is forthcoming America is go
ing to outstrip Britain on the seas.
