GERMAN MINERS ARRESTED
Allen's Trunk Contains Shotguns,
Ammunition and Certificate of
Registration as German
Reserve Officer.
SEATTLE. Wash., .Tuly 19. Claims
of representatives of employers, and
representatives of striking shingle
weavers, mill workers and loggers In
Western Washington differ still as to
the succe.ss of the strikers.
The breakup of the strike in the
shingle mills within a week is pre
dicted by K. S. Grammer, chairman of
the Lumbermen s Protective League.
Mr. Urammer admitted that the situ
ation among the loggers and mill work
ers controlled by the Industrial Work
ers of the World was not so encourag
ing. He declared that fear of intimi
dation by Industrial Workerr was re
sponsible for this.
President Jay G. Brown, of the
Fhingle Weavers Union, declares that
20.01)0 men are out. approximately 275
shingle mills closed and that 75 mill
owners have gone on the eight-hour
basis since Monday.
Leading lumbermen today declared
that they had found it impossible to
find head or tail to the strike, much
less to deal with the strikers.
Strike Declared Complex.
"We do not know and the strikers
themselves do not know what the
strike Is all about," declared a repre
sentative of the lumbermen's com
mittee. "Our reports inform us that even
where mills have agreed to the eight
liour day and conceded other demands,
the workers have struck or remained
on strike. The strike seems without
leadership and to be a general unrest
fomented by some influence in the
background."
Strikers attach great importance to
a resolution adopted by the Seattle
Central Labor Council last night, de
manding a Federal investigation of
alleged coercion exerted by large log
ping interests to prevent small mills
from yielding to the strikers by threat
ening to cut off the supply of logs.
I. V. W. Afftllntion Denied.
J. G. Brown, president of the Inter
rational Shingle Weavers' Union, de
clares that a large majority of the
ehingle manufacturers strongly desired
to grant the eight-hour day and the
other demands of the union, but had
been whipped into line by a combina
tion of -5 large logging companies
that supply the tidewater mills with
thingle timber.
Brown denies that the strike Is in
the hands of the Industrial Workers of
the World, although the latter organi
sation called out its men after the
Fhingle weavers and timber workers
had made their demands.

Here they succeeded in penetrating

FREIGHT LESS CONGESTED
Railroads War Board Reports Im
provement in Situation.
NEW YORK, July 19. Efforts of the
country's railroads to speed up trans
portation as an aid to the Nation's war
activities has resulted in extraordinary
improvement lr. the amour., of coal han
dled and marked gains in other, classes
of freight, according to a statement Is
sued tonight by Fairfax Harrison chair
man of the Railroads War Board. "Re
ports to the United States Government,'
Mr. Harrison said, "show that in June
the railroads of the country handled
750,323 cars of bituminous coal, an in
crease o. 26.2 per cent over June of last
year."
UnfllleJ car orders, or what is called
the "car shortage," the statement de
clared, showed a reduction on June 30
of nearly 50 per cent from the situation
on May 1.
BISBEE, Ariz., July 19. A meeting
of operators of copper mines In Arizona
is to be held within the next week, it
was announced today, for the purpose
of initiating a movement to extend the
oyalty league" movement to most of
the camps in this section and for the
Americanization of labor employed at
all but the Clifton-Morenci-Metcalf
district.
The stand against employment of
foreign miners was first taken by Bis
bee companies. The Old Dominion
plant at Globe, it was declared here to
day, has taken a similar Ktand. The
Clifton-Morenci-Metcalf district has
ores of such a class that no attempt
will be made to supplant foreigners
with Americans there as yet, it was
said. The move to organize "loyalty
leagues" is described a the operators'
effort to offset the activities of the
Industrial Workers of the World.
GLOBE. Ariz., July 19. Two Miami
miners, both of German birth, were ar
rested today by special officers of the
Department of Justice and brought to
the County Jail In this city as alleged
alien enemies.
In the trunk of one of the prisoners
was found two shotguns, a pistol, a
considerable amount of ammunition and
a certificate of registration with the
German Consul as a German reserve
officer. Neither has been naturalized.
Approximately 50 men, cnargea wiin
rioting here July 4, were piacea on
preliminary hearing here today before
a Justice of the Peace. The men vere
pickets fK 'the Old Dominion mine at
the time of the alleged riot.
Tno rotirt denied separate trials to
the defendants.
RISBEE. Ariz.. July 19. The Inves
tigation committee of miners and citi
zens, which is examining all applicants
for work and any others wnose reo-
nrii are not known, was in session all
day today examining 113 applicants.
Miles Merrill, a miner and president
of the Workmen s Loyalty League,
conducts these examinations, assisted
hv Bassett Watkins and others. All
applicants are given an opportunity to
state their cases, spectators are per
mitted to ask questions and a decision
Is then arrived at as to the disposition
of the case and consideration.
Armed guards some of them dressed
in khaki and wearing leggings so that
they look like soldiers to the uniniti
ated, are posted at strategic points
along all the highways and railroads
entering the district. These outposts
are manned night and day and are
visited, daily by Sheriff Wheeler. Every
automobile is stopped and inspected,
and the occupants questioned closely.
The various outposts are in communi
cation by means of telephones and
sienals.
A fund of more than $70,000 Is said
to have been raised to defray the ex
penses of this elaborate system of pick
eting.
Sheriff Wheeler has warned the
eruards to keep a close watch for per
sons attempting to bring liquor Into
the district.
"Whisky." said the Sheriff, "is as bad
as the wobblies" for stirring up trou
ble."
There has been no diminution in the
artillery duels between the British and
Germans in Northern Belgium, nor in
the attacks the British have been mak
ing against German trenches. Around
Monchy Le Preux these Infantry attacks
have resulted in the British regaining
all the ground they lost to the Ger
mans east of Arras July 11.
British forces operating against the
Turks have made a 12-mile advance up
the Euphrates, while In the Caucasus
regions the Russians have carried out
successful raids against tho Ottomans.
The latest reports from Petrograd
indicate that the disturbances of the
last few days have been quelled and
that the situation now Is well in hand.
The streets of the capital are being
patrolled by cossacks and other mount
ed troops. One report is to the effect
that there has been a discussion in
extraordinary cabinet counsel of a pro
posal to transfer the seat of the pro
visional government to Moscow.
Prisoner la Said to Have Played
Donhle Role of Spy for Secret
Police for ElKht Years.
COPENHAGEN, July 19. Berlin
newspapers received here report that
Eugene Azef, who eight years ago was
the head of the Russian fighting So
cialists, is among the Russian civilians
interned in Berlin. Azef fled from
Paris after Vladimir Bourtzeff, a Rus
sian revolutionist, had charged him
with being a police spy In order to es
cape the vengeance of the revolution
ists, and became a wanderer, traveling
under various names.
When the war broke out Azef was in
Germany and was interned, according
to the report. Later he fell sick and
was removed to a hospital and finally
appealed to the Russian prisoners of
war committee for assistance.
Azef. at the time the disclosures were
made against him, was reported to have
played the double role of Russian So
cialist and spy for the Russian secret
police for eight years. He is said to
have facilitated the arrest of hundreds
of revolutionists, disclosed dozens of
plots against high officials and even
to have been the organizer of assas
sinations.

Bourtzeff charged met death as a re-
