Six men. ap pointed by the Arizona State Federa tion of Labor in convention at Clifton to investigate the deportation of more than 1100 men from the Warren dis trict July 12 and labor conditions In this camp at present, were today re fused admission to the district. The delegation, which was coming- to this city in an automobile from Doufrlas, was met at Forest Ranch, several miles from Eisbee, and informed that any other than a legal investigation was not wanted at this time. Though the Workfhen's ' Loyalty league and the Citizens Protective Iaue of Hisbee deny all connection with action of refusing- the labor lead ers admittance, it was admitted that Borne of the members of each organiza tion participated in the affair. This afternoon the executive com mittees of both organizations declared that the visitors were coming: "with chips on their shoulders" and that, in asmuch as the situation was being- In vestigated by the Attorney-General, no other investigation was needed. The committees also adopted a. reso lution, which after statins that the speech of one of the labor leaders In Clifton had placed the State Federa tion "squarely in sympathy with the I. W. "V.," closed by stating "that we reiterate that our stand is unalterably opposed to the I. W. W. and their sym pathizers and not against the State Federation of Labor, as such; but we refuse to be blinded by the palpable fraud practiced on legitimate and pa triotic union labor and declare that we will continue to scrutinize the motives of anyone who desires to re-encumber the Warren district with L W. W. and their kind." Report Sent to Governor. Attorney-General Jones, who Is here investigating local conditions, was ap prised of the affair shortly after it occurred. He transmitted a report im mediately to Governor Campbell. The Attorney-General would make no statement as to his intentions. DOUGLAS, Ariz.. Aug. 8.

The members of the labor committee declined to make any statement about their experience, saying that they had been commissioned to report direct to the convention. Two on Government Boardii. Bert Davis, vice-oresident of the State Federation of Labor, called at tention to a letter in his possession showing that he had been named by Governor Campbell as a member of the state draft exemption board. John Murray, ex-offieio member o the board as the representative of the American Federation of Labor and a member of a committee on labor of the advisory commission of the Council of National Defense, called attention to that fact also. PHOENIX, Ari., Aug. 8. Following receipt of a elegram from Attorney General Jones at Bisbee that investi gators of the Arizona State Feder ation of Labor had been turned back by citizens of the Warren district. Gov ernor Campbell intimated today that he would tak3 "drastic, action" to en force law and order i-i the mining dis tricts of the state. Asked if this action meant a call It Federal troops, the Governor said: . "I shall withhold any statements un til the action is taken." Governor Campbell telegra.ihed Attorney-General Jones at Bisbee this afternoon inquiring whether he had started civil action against members o the Citizens' Loyal League of that city who stopped the investigators of the Arizona Federation of Lab jr. If action is not begun at once, the Governor stated, a request woul.l be made im mediately ior Federal troops. THIRD OF QUOTA CALLED f"-ontfnued From First Pare.) these lists up with great expedition." General Crowder also sent this addi tional caution to examining physicians of the local boards: "The Surgeon-general advises that In order to prevent the terrible ravages which result from the introduction into the Army of that dread disease of the eyes known as trachoma, tho lids of every recruit be everted to insure the absence of this disease and that any border line or suspicious cases be re ferred to an ophthalmic surgeon es pecially qualified in. this line." Relative May Provide for Wife. The messages were followed by a new ruling regarding exemptions be cause of dependents which is expected to decrease considerably the loss of men from the military service for this reason. Boards are authorized here after to deny exemptions to married men whose wives are solely dependent on them, but where the parents - or other relatives of either- wife or hus band are willing to assume the burden of her support during his absence. The same course is to be followed where any drafted man's employers agree to continue his salary as a pa triotic duty. A third supplemental ruling provides that where a man has supported his dependents by his own labor on land 1 EPILEPTIC ATTACKS HAVE BEEN STOPPED FOR OVER 60 YEARS by DR. KLINE'S EPILEPTIC REMEDY.

N.J.- which he owns and the boards find that the land could be rented to ad vantage so as to continue the support for the wife derived from the rental, exemption for the man may be denied. The telegram to the Governors fol lows: "Under Presidential regulations the term "dependent for support' has given rise to several further questions of principle affecting large numbers of persons. ' "The general basis for ruling upon such questions should be the spirit and purpose of the act in providing for such discharge wherever the terms of the act and of the regulations are not In themselves conclusive. The act authorizes the President to discharge wherever the parties drafted are 'in a status with respect to persons depend ent upon them for support which ren ders their exclusion or discharge ad visable.' ."Such dependency ordinarily renders discharge advisable, because, since the drafted person loses his civil Income and thus lose3 his means of support, the wife is left without support and this lack of support is the effect which the act aims to avoid. But wherever such effect does not in face follow, and the wife is not left without reason ably adequate support but will receive such support from other sources,' there is no real dependency rendering dis charge advisable." Cases Are Listed. "The following classes of cases are within this ruling: "A Wife and children: "1 Where the parents or other rela tives of the wife or the husband are able, ready and willing to provide ade quate support for her (and children, if any) during the absence of the hus band. "2 Where the wife owns land which has produced income by the husband's efforts but which could with reason able certainty be rented, during his ab sence, to other persons so as to produce an adequate support. . Partial Wastes Recogrnlzed. "3 Where there exist some ar rangements by which the salary or wage of the husband is continued, in whole or in part, by third persons, be ing employers or insurers or others, and such portion of the salary or wage, either alone or with an allotment of his soldier's pay or with other definite Income, will furnish a reasonably ade quate support. "B Other dependents: 'l Where in one of the foregoing ways a reasonably adequate support Is provided for a widowed mother, infirm parents, or orphan child under 16 years, of a son, brother, or father called Into service. Rulings May Be Recalled. "Under Presidential regulations pro viding that 'any certificate or dis charge may be withdrawn, modified, or renewed by the local board' the board is authorized to reopen any claim of exemption already passed upon and still awaiting disposition on appeal to the district board, for the purpose of receiving any affidavits or making other inquiries relative to dependency as defined in the present rulings; and the local board shall transmit to the district board such affidavits and Its own minutes thereon, for consideration on appeal. "The foregoing rulings are calculat ed to carry out the spirit and terms of the act, and to enable patriotic men to remain in the military service of their country wherever the burden of sup port hitherto carried by them alone is In a position to be distributed for a time among others who are patriotic ally ready to make in this manner their contribution to military service by setting other men free to enter the Army." Rules Cover Many Pages. The mobilization regulations re ferred to by General Crowder were in the hands of the printers tonight. They cover many pages and provide for ev ery contingency that can be foreseen in the assembling of the men for the new Army. The contingents for the various dis tricts making up any call to the colors are to be assembled by the state au thorities, provided with transportation to their training camps, furnished with means of subsistence on the way and also provided with a blank telegraphic form with which to report the time of their arrival to the camp commander from a point six hours from destina tion. They will be regarded as passing Into the authority of the Army when they board the trains. Provision is made also for filling vacancies which may occur in any dis trict quota should men sent forward be rejected by the Army doctors on final examination at the camps. In such cases the district boards will be noti fied and another man be furnished. The quota of any district will not be regarded as filled until the camp aur thorltles report back to the board that the full number of men called for have arrived and been finally accepted. HELENA, Mont.. Aug. 8. Of the 30 men notified to appear before the local exemption board today, but 18 reported. One of the 18 had enlisted in the Army and of the remaining 17, a total of nine claimed exmeption on the ground that they had dependent relatives to support. There was one alien (not German) among the 18 who claimed exemption. NEW YORK, Aug. 8. According to figures based on complete returns from 60 of the 189 local exemption boards.
