Campbell Asks TroopsFor All 'Mining Gamps

PHOENIX, July 13. —In order to

check the campaign of intimidationand treason being waged by the wob-

blies in almost every district in thestate, Governor Campbell has asked

the southern department to sendtroops to th? following points in Ari-

zona: Bisbee, Jerome, Humboldt, Ray,

Ajo, Clifton-Morenci, and to Mohavecounty camps. He has already been

advised that a battalion of U. S.troops has been ordered to Bisbee.About 400 U. S. cavalry are stationedat Globe and Miami at the presenttime, preserving order in that dis-

I ! trict.

I The governor’s action followed the• deportation of wobblies this week, from Jerome and Bisbee, as a result

of threatened uprisings in those dis-tricts.

BisbeeBanishesWobbliesBISBEE, July 13.—Acting under or-

ders of Sheriff Harry Wheeler of Co-chise county, a posse of 2500 armed

deputies rounded up over 1100 I.

W. W.’s here yesterday and sent

them out of the district on a special

train. The train proceeded to Colum-

bus, N. M.Two men were killed in the course

of the round-up at Bisbee, one a Finn

and the other deputy. Two deputies

had gone to the man’s lodging-house

to arrest him, when the man openedfire, killing one deputy. The other

deputy returned the fire, killing the

striker.

Everything is quiet in the district

and practically every man in the dis-

trict reported for work this morning.The round-up was under the direc-

tion of Sheriff Wheeler, the deputiesassembling in squads at his direction

and then making a clean sweep of thecamp. The I. W. W.’s were arrestedon charges of vagrancy, disturbing thepeace* and treason, and after beingcollected in the ball park at Warren,were placed on a special train madeup of twenty-four freight and cattlecars, which left Bisbee shortly afternoon. Ten armed deputies rode onthe roof of each car to see that noneof the passengers escaped.

Prior to the rounding up of theI. W. W.’s the sheriff issued a proc-

lamation setting forth his reasons for

his action, which he said was neces-sitated by the repeated threats thathomes would be destroyed and lives

lost if the men continued to work.Continued intimidation, assaults andbeating of miners made conditions inthe district intolerable, he declared.

PRESCOTT PUTS1. 11 LEADERS'

IN COUNTY JAILPRESCOTT, July 12. —Nine leaders

of the I. W. W. who were active in

calling the recent strike at Jerome to

cripple copper production are in the

Yavapai county jail here.

At a public meeting under the aus-

pices of the home guard, citizenspassed a resolution declaring that the

Industrial Workers of the World

are enemies of the United States and

stating in no uncertain terms “thatthere is no room in Yavapai county

for Industrial Workers of the Worldat large.”

There is some talk of a round-up of

malcontents, abrogation of the consti-tutional rights of habeas corpus and

interment in county jail of all known

to be idlers and propagandists againstthe government. Citizens have grown

heartily tired of interference with thecopper production and they declarethey will brook no more unpatriotic

talk and acts.

It is understood here that the Je-

rome miners mean to continue send-ing out the wobblies as fast as they

permit themselves to become obnox-*ious. The desire to get in a day’s

work on the part of a large majority

of the Jerome district miners is re-

sponsible for their impatience at the

recent acts of the anarchistic organ-

ization.

JEROME CITIZENSround or i. w.rs

SHIP IDEM OUTJEROME, July 11.—Miners and citi-

; zens armed with pick handles andrifles rounded up 70 members of theI. W. W. here early yesterday andshipped them to Jerome Junction ona special train. Fifty armed men ac-companied the train to the junctionto see that none of the men got offand started back towards this camp.

At Jerome Junction the I. W. W.’swere placed under arrest by tensquads of the Prescott home guards,who took nine of the ringleaders, in-cluding “Red” Thompson, to the Yav-apai county jail at Prescott. The oth-ers were herded into cattle cars andshipped to Needles on a special train.The train was guarded by armed citi-zens and deputies.

Deportation of the men came aftera “drive” in which hundreds of min-ers and other citizens, all armed, par-ticipated with the object of “cleaningup” the town. All of the men wereconsidered by Jerome city officials tobe “undesirables,” because of a strikecalled in the copper district by theMetal Miners’ branch of the IndustrialWorkers of the World, which was repu-

diated by the Miners’ union. Manymen had heard of the “drive” and leftJerome early this morning.

After the men were placed in thecattle cars they were given plenty ofdrinking water, but nothing to eat.

Officials 'Of the United Verde andUnited Verde Extension mines report-ed their properties were being operat-

ed tonight with a full force for thefirst time since the Industrial Work-

ers of the World’s strike became ef-fective. A number of smaller proper-ties, which had been closed down as aresult of the walkout, resumed opera-tions tonight and others were expect-

ed to reopen tomorrow.

GOVERNOR IS’

TRREATENED BYTs WOBBLIES

PHOENIX, July 11—Warning that

if he refused to give protection to I.W. W. members deported from Je-rome, he “must bear the conse-quences” was received today by Gov.

Campbell in a telegram signed by the

| executive committee of the I. W. W.organization at Globe. The governorreplied that if any further such mes-sages were forthcoming, that he

I would take immediate action againstthose responsible for sending the com-

! munieation.

I. W. W. STRIKEAT AJOJS FAILURE

AJO, July 13. —The attempt of I. W.W. leaders to call a strike here hasproven a ghastly failure. Practically

all the I. W. W.’s have left the camp.As soon as it was known that an or-ganizer of the I. W. W. was here, em-ployes of the New Cornelia Copper

company and other mines in this dis-trict organized the Workmen’s LoyaltyLeague. Over 90 per cent of the em-

¦ ployes joined and others are joining.A great rally was held here last

Saturday night, followed by a huge

patriotic parade Sunday evening. Over300> workmen from the plant and mine

of the New Cornelia Copper company

marched in the parade. The sentiment

here is unanimous against allowing any| agitators to come in and tell the work-

men what to do.

The team made 37 earned runs, 19 double plays, and had 71 men left on bases. Flick accepted 108chances without an error.

Above is the fielding and batting averages of the three teams of the Tri-Copper League for the first seriesof fourteen games in 1917. There were many of the little details of the game that were omitted becauseof the fact that they were not registered in all of the games and it would be hardly fair to only give a part.The averages were figured by Bergstrom for the Mines, Moehlan Kamp for the Smelter and Kelley and Morrisfor the Mill,. Kelley, Moehlan, Kamp and Bergstrom are the official scorers.

In putting down the names and figures the one with the highest batting percentage was placed first andthe others in their respective order.

The fielding percentages are not in order, but will be arranged in their respective orders in the league as awhole in next week’s Copper Camp.

Ray Not A Healthy Place For I. W. W.’s

BRUTAL MURDEROF L. E. BECK

RYBAKL. E. Beck, shift foreman at the

No. 2 mine of the Ray Con. company,

was brutally murdered early last Sat-

urday morning by an infuriated Aus-

trian. The Austrian, Bob Mandisch.

had just been discharged by Mr. Beck

for not doing his work properly and

Mr. Beck had started toward the

change room when Mandisch struck

him a terrible blow over the head with

his miner’s lantern. The blow was

so hard that it crushed the skull. After

Beck lay on the ground the Austrian

kicked him several times in the head

and body. Beck was removed to the

hospital, but there was little chance

of his life being saved and he passedaway at 9:30 Saturday morning with-out regaining consciousness. Thealarm was given and the Austrian

was found at his living quarters and

was taken into custody.

Mr. Beck came here about two

months ago. He has a family in Gold-field, Nevada, who were informed ofhis death. Mr. Beck was 57 yearsof age and was known throughout the

MINERS AND CITIZENS UNITE INGREAT LOYALTY MEETING, THEN

ESCORT AGITATORS OUT OF CAMPThe citizens and miners of Ray

demonstrated very clearly last Satur-day that they did not welcome I. W.

W. agitators and that this would not

be a healthy piace for them to stop.Early Saturday morning word waspassed around that some I. W. W. menwere in the camp and getting rightbusy. The officers were sent out androunded up four. The men were lo-cated on the trail between the mineand Sonora and were quietly but sure-ly spreading the germ of discontentamong the Mexican miners. They weretaken into custody and held until latein the afternoon when they were es-corted to the outskirts of town and

west as a most capable and efficientminer and had a host of friends. Dur-ing the two months of his employ-ment as a foreman he had occasion todischarge only two men and that wasbecause of their failure to do theirwork properly.

Mandisch wa staken to the countyjail at Florence early Saturday morn-ing, the officers fearing the citizenswould take the affair into their ownhands.

told to keep going and not come back.

Coincidental with the rounding upof the agitators, a number of businessmen and miners of the town decidedto have a loyalty meeting. This wasarranged for the same afternoon andwhen the meeting was called to or-der the large Airdome theater waspacked to its limit. Able talks weremade by Judge E. W. French and sev-eral of the leading Mexican and Span-ish citizens of the camp, which re-sulted in a rousing demonstration ofloyalty. The entrance of the I. W. W.agitators into the camp was deploredin no uncertain terms by all of thespeakers.

After the speaking the meeting ad-journed and congregated in front ofthe court house. Then the four I. W.

W. agitators were led out and toldwhat they were expected to do. Along line was formed on each side ofthe street and as the four passedthrough the opening made for themthey were jeered and hissed. They

were followed about two miles out oftown on the Globe road and warnedthat if they came back they wouldnot be treated so kindly.

NUMBER 12

BROMLEY SHUTS OUT MILLERSALLOWS ONLY TWO HITS-RAY

PLAYS ERRORLESS BALL-6 TO 2Jack Bromley had the Indian sign

on the Mill team in last Sunday’s gameand had it not been for two little bin-gles it would have been a no hit, norun, no error game as far as the Ray

team was concerned. Meloan andBrandt were the lucky fellows, eachgetting a neat single, but so far from

each other that there was absolutely

no chance of them doing any damage.

Bromley is pitching the best ball ofany pitcher in the league now andfrom all appearances is getting better

all the time.Ray came up in their half of the

first inning with a rush and when the

trenches had been cleared it wasfound that three tallys had been regis-tered. This lead did not diminish

their fighting qualities a bit and in

the fourth frame repeated the dose,making the score 6 to 0, at which fig-ure it remained throughout the game.

The game was called two or three

times on account of rain and when therain did finally stop the field was inrather bad condition and might have

had something to do with the playing.

This is the second game this seasonwhere there was a shutout and it isreported that it is the only game forRay without an error. All this wouldindicate that Ray is getting in fine

trim and will be dangerous contend-ers for the pennant.

Hosp and Forsythe who have beenout for the last two games, were againon duty Sunday and were both play-ing fine ball. Hosp gathered three

hits out of four times at bat, and For-sythe made a hard and spectacularcatch of a ball to extreme right field

and clear back to the fence.

The game by innings follows:

First InningMill—Engle struck out. Kane flew

to Forsythe. Meloan flew to Forsythe.

No hits, no runs.Mines—Scanlon fouled to Carish.

Forsythe walked. DeMaggio safe atfirst on fielder’s choice and Forsythewas safe at first when Davis failedto stop the ball thrown by Brandt.Forsythe went on to third when theball bounced off into center field.

RAY LORES TO SMELTER IN AHARD LUCK GAME-SCORES TO 3

’Twas a sad and dreary day for theRay ball club last Wednesday whenthey suffered defeat at the hands ofthe Smelter boys to the tune of 5 to3. It wasn’t a case of poor playing

either, that lost the game, but it seem-ed that there was absolutely no luck

,at all on the Ray side and very littleon the Smelter side. But what littleluck there was, the Smelter boysgot it.

There were only five hits each bythe teams and they were sufficientlywell scattered so that no damage wasparticularly done. Bromley was a lit-tle wild in the first couple of framesbut improved as the game proceeded.

Tonneman pulled a boner and allow-ed a run and then another time he

had his man easy it appeared, but inthe slide to home, Shaw accidentlyspiked Toney in the arm, causing himto drop the ball. With these two un-earned runs taken off, the scorewould have been tied.

Slagle was in the box for the Smelt-

erites until the eighth when he wasreplaced by Leverett. Slage was go-ing good, but evidently it was fearedhe would blow up in the last frame.

The game by innings follows:First Inning
