AFTERMATH OF
DEPORTATIONS
FROM ARIZONA!
BISBEE, Ariz., July 28 (by Associ
ated Press).—Ever since the morning
of July 21, 1917, when 1,186 mine
workers and their alleged sympathiz
ers were forcibly driven from Bisbee,
the deportations have been a source
of discussion in this state and through
out the "West, and the recent arrest of
prominent men in this city has re
newed the discussion.
The United States grand jury in
dicted twenty-five of the most promi
nent men in Arizona—copper company
officials, county officers and private
citizens, following the deportations, on
charges of conspiracy to deprive pri
vate citizens of their constitutional
rights. On December 3 last Judge
William W. Morrow of San Francisco,
sitting in the United States district
court at Tucson, quashed the indict
ments when the trial was called. The
United States government immediately
appealed from Judge Morrow’s deci
sion, and today the case is pending in
the supreme court of the nation.
The men involved in the charges
brought by the federal government in
clude Walter Douglas of New York
city, president and general manager
of the Phelps-Dodge Corporation, own
ing and operating the Copper Queen
Consolidated mines in Bisbee and the
Copper Queen smelter at Douglas;
Grant H. Dowrell, general manager of
the Copper Queen Consolidated Min
ing Company; H. H. Stout, superin
tendent of the Copper Queen smelter
at Douglas; Robert Rea, auditor for
the Phelps-Dodge interests in the
Southwest; William H. Brophy, for
merly general manager of the Phelps
Dodge Mercantile Company, and now
a prominent Red Cross official in
France; Major John C. Greenway, a
mining engineer, now a major in the
United States engineer corps in
France, and Harry C. Wheeler of the
United States army, former sheriff of
Cochise county. Arizona.
Harry Wheeler was sheriff of Co
chise county at the time the deporta
tions took place. In June, 1918, when
he was in France as a captain in the
United States army, he sent a cable
gram to Bisbee, accepting sole respon
sibility for the deportations, which he
declared were made to rid the com
munity of members of the Industrial
Workers of the World, who, he al
leged, were interfering with the gov
ernment’s war program by hampering
the copper output.
The deportations grew out of the
strike of the copper miners called
in the Warren copper mining district
on June 26, 1917. The strike was
called by the Industrial Workers of
the World, and was not sanctioned by
the International Union of Mine, Mill
and Smeltermen. The demands of
the strikers included increased pay—
$6 a day for underground work and
$5.50 for surface workers, a six-hour
day and improved working conditions.
The strike continued in force until
July 12, when the deportations took
place. Unknown to any of the strik
ers, preparations had been made by
Sheriff Wheeler and his associates.
The first stream of daylight scarcely
had begun to show in Bisbee when
the blast of a whistle was heard. Run
ning through the streets in the semi
darkness, armed with revolvers, the
deputies Sheriff Wheeler had sworn
in as officers of the law assembled
and began their tasks. All persons
who could not give a satisfactory ac
count of themselves and who would
not promise to return to work in the
mines were seized and marched to the
Bisbee baseball park, where they were
confined in a stockade until the round
up was completed at noon.
During the deportations two persons
were killed, a member of the commit
tee of citizens being shot in attempt
ing to compel the deportation of one
workman, and the workman in turn
being killed by the committee. When
the round-up had been completed the
prisoners were loaded into cattle and
freight cars and taken first to Colum
bus, N. M., and later the train was
hauled back to the desert station of
Hermanas, a dozen miles west of Co
lumbus. During the trip, the deport
ed men alleged, they were given no
food. Armed guards rode on top of
the cars, their rifles across their laps.
At Hermanas the United States
army took charge of the deported
men and removed them in a body to
the military camp at Columbus, where
they were cared for until in the fall,
when the refugee camp was closed
and the men dispersed. Many of the
men, their leaders asserted, were not
members of the Industrial workers of
the World, and a government investi
gation committee held this assertion
to be true.
Following the deportation, special
guards were placed on all roads lead
ing into the Warren district, and trains
were searched to prevent a possible
return of persons whose presence was
not desired. As a result, civil suits
aggregating $6,150,000 were filed in
the state courts by persons who had
been so treated. While the deporta
tion was in progress a strict censor
ship was established. For several
months it was supposed the censor
ship was instituted by the United
States military authorities, but it de
velope! that the order for the cen
sorship was given by one of the de
fendants indicted by the United States
grand jury.

NEW INVENTION IN
CINEMATOGRAPH WORK
LONDON, June 29 (by mail).—A.
Mollock has attracted attention by ex
hibiting before the Royal Society a
new form of cinematograph which, it
is said, will prove of distinct value.
At present pictures are often shown
at a rate considerably higher than that
at which the photographs were taken
in order to avoid the bickerings due
to intermittent illumination. Mollock’s
model, it is claimed, illuminates the
screen continuously, thus allowing the
picture to be shown at any rate de
sired—either slower or faster than the
speed at which the events occurred.

1 “And my
I GOODRICH Shoes J
I outwore Six pairs of his”
He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21
years—and just back in the States. He
j was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
asked him, of course, if he ever used our
Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes
while he was up there, and he said—
“Say, those are some shoes you people make,
i Why, I remember one time when my part
ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
i we got back—I still wore my first pair.”
There’s the result of making Goodrich
Rubber Footwear the new way,—IN ONE
j j SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel—
j no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And
' they’re comfortable—feel like old shoes
before you’ve worn them 24 hours.
! We make all kinds,—shoes, boots, shorts
and hip, for mining, fishing, logging, pros
pecting, etc. They always have “The Red
I Line ‘Round The Top.”
