No union man will bo allowed to work with anyone not belonging to our organization, and this means that tomorrow morning, when tho business of the week begins, the strike will uc- omo universal. "Wo can't go half way in tho matter now. Tho striko lias been prcoipitatcd by tho mon them wives without tho sanction of tho na tional officers, but we arc now all work ing in unison, and nnything that tho officials of tho various unions through out the country havo dono in calling strikes meets with our hearty co-operation."

Tho morning nnd afternoon sessions yester day woro confined largely to seating the delegates, hearing of annual reports and debato on a resolution recommend ing that all Arizonn locals hold open meetings, abolishing secret work by curtailing tho present ritual. A mes sage of cheer was sent to George A. Pot tibonc, who was arrested with Hay wood and Moycr nnd who alouo re mains in jail at Boiso.

Tho report of tho president was read and referred to tho committco appoint ed to handlo it, nnd tho report of tho secretary-treasurer was referred to the auditing committco. Afternoon Session Tho first business of tho afternoon session was tho reading of a lengthy ronort bv Porcy C. Rawling, a combined report on his .work as vico president, member of tho oxccutlvo board and organizer. It wns confined largely to tho organization of Bisbeo local No. 100, tho subsequent striko in tlint camp, tho subsequent pickoting of trnlns, tho troublo with officers who sought to pre vent pickets from notifying new arriv als that there was a striko on and tho attempt to unionizo tho smelter works at Douglas. In tclline of tho beginning of tho movement for organization nt BIsbec, Rnwlinir stated that it resulted from re pcated letters from union mon to vari ous Arizonn locals asking for assistance in establishing tho federation in Bis beo. After a consultation with other members of tho oxecutivo bonrd, it wns unnnimously decided that tho timo hnd como for an assault of tho "formidable stronghold of capitalism and homo of peonage" Rawling loft Globo Janu ary 27 aftor arranging that ho was to bo assisted by J, D. Cannon. Socrccy was eschewed and tho action of the organizers was bold and decisive. Then followed a statement of tho prelimin aries to tho strike: tho receipt of or- ders from Acting President Mahonoy of Denver and tho dischargo of over fivo hundred union mon by tho com panics opernting in tho district. Sov-onty-fivo por cent of tho men went out on tho call of tho striko and tho fol lowing week six hundred now members woro taken In. Many Arrested; Nono Convicted Evor since tho striko began, over four months ago, Rawling stated that not one member of the union had been convicted of ft breach of tho penco, although many had been arrested; that thoro had been practically no drunken ness and that thoro has beon porfect discipline among tho roamining mem bers. Since tho writ of injunction has boon granted against them by Judgo Doan thoy nro restrained from doing anything except "keeping quiet and looking pleasant." Thoy aro still nwaiting tho judgo 's decision on a motion for dissolving the injunction, which is hardly expected to be favor able. ! Referring to .'conditions in tho mines tho speaker said that conditions wero encouraging to tho union. While bo tweon 4,000 and 5,000 men woro neces sary to keep up tho production, now botween 2,000 and 3,000 wero at work and tho majority of theso mon aro not competent miners. Stopes aro caving in and deaths havo been frequent. Ho believed that tho mino managers nre "seeing tho light tt repentance." Ho paid his respects to tho press of Bisbeo in terms which loft no doubt as to his feelings in tho matter. Rawling spoko of the organization of a mill and smel tormen's union at Douglas, tho perfect ing of which ho said is vital to the suc cess of tho fight on nt Bisbee. Tho smeltormen, mostly Moxicnns, ho said, aro tho "most harshly exploited, wago slaves in tho country." Would Havo a Paper Among tho recommendations of tho vico presidont wai ono that union labor of Arizona haveV, a newspaper of its own, so that thelcnpitalistic press" coudl be fought yji its own weapons. Tho report was received with applause and referred to' the committco on or ganization. ' The report of Organizer Crough was read by tho secretary. It told of tho progress made at Bisbeo and Douglas and of tho success of the union pickets in persuading men who had como to work from abroad, to refuse. Ho said that tho men hall been told by agents of the mining companies that there was no striko on affBisboc. He also told of the arrest of pickets by "hired thugs and professional .gunmen," and tho in effectual nttompts to convict them. Ho predicted that th only outcomo of tho striko was a complete victory for tho federation. J Report Clifton Organized The roport of Organizer F. n. Little was read by tho sccrotary. Little has been working at Clifton and organized a union of smeltcrmen there. Tho most interesting featuro of his report was that the recent strike of smcltermcu at Clifton did not havo his sanction and was called at tho instigation of the company officials. Ho told of the ex ploiting of tho Mexicans in tho district. Their pay for underground work, ho said, is $2.50, and topmen get $2. "When flio company stores gotthrough with theini their checks do not average over $15. He recommended that assistance be given tho Graham County Advocate so that a Spanish edition can bo issued by that paper to offset tho agitation of a sintilar paper at Morcnci which is issued by company sympathizers. There was somo discussion over tho seating of Frank J. Harner as a dele gate from Ray union No. 137. Harner arrived too late for the morning ses sion. Tho discussion was caused by tho fact that Ray union had not paid its per capita tax to tho territorial organization. A remark by Delegate Starr was construed as a reflection on Secretary Ryan and almost evoked a heated argumont, but tho chair declared Starr out of order and a motion to scat Harner was carried unanimously. Tho following resolution was intro duced by Delegato P. J. Hollihan of Globo: "Bo it resolved by tho Arizona State Union in convention assembled that we aro opposed to any member within the jurisdiction of tho A. S. U. entering into any contract to do a certain amount of work for any mining coin- was obsoloto, that it hat! outlived its usefulness if it over had any, nnd tho opon meeting was moro in line with tho progressive policy of tho organiza tion. Local Delegato in Favor William Wills of tho oxecutivo board, who introduced n similar resolution nt tho Federation convention in Denver, spoko in favor of tho open rneoting with nn nbbroviatcd ritual and tho nbolition of tho warden nnd password. Ho thought that with tho open meeting those who woro interested could get all tho information thoy wanted with out paying for it. Dclegnto White stated that tho resolution only indorsed what many unions aro now doing. Secretary Ryan told of tho open meetings which nro being held by tho .Toronto union. Ho thought it tho only way, because tho peoplo at largo could then seo for thoitiHclvcs that it would bo impossible to mnintnin an "inner circle," ns has been chnrged wns a part of tho secret work of tho ordor. Ho Baid that somo of tho members have not attended rneoting since tho doors wero opened. Rynn told a story of a former fellow worker, now tho super intendent of a mino in Novnda, whom ho met in Donver. This man told him tlint a short timo aftor a union moot ing in his camp thoro wero alwnys some members who camo up to seo him and tell him, what had happened, Ono Not in Favor Delegato Harpor was tho only speaker who was unfavorable to tho resolution. Ho said that ho was not yot a convert to tho open mooting nnd fnilcd to see tho benefit which could bo derived. Delegates Gladman, Starr and Op man followed with short talks in favor of tho resolution. Dolegato Hall said tho opon meeting would show tho people that tho miners do nothing thoy aro ashamed of and that it was absurd to longer hold secret meetings. Delegates Gallin and Lundgard sup ported tho resolution. Tho latter stat ed that tho organization was ono of education nnd that the open meeting would givo an opportunity of educating many who could not uo rcacneu at se cret meetings. Delegate Bennett moved that tho res olution bo referred back to a commit tee for prefacing with Bawling as one of tho members of tho committco. An Economical Delegate Delegate Lundgard wanted it passed as it was. He didn't want to seo "a! this hot air go to waste." Consider able laughter was created by this can did remark. The vote" resulted in a dred polico nnd 1,500 cavalry dashed up nnd down tho oxtont of tho disor derly area, forcing tho riders back into tho side streets, on which strong mili tary forces had been placed. Tho fight ing was one of tho fiercest in character and order was not restored until 10 o'clock, when rf heavy rain assisted the soldiers in dispersing tho crowds. There were conflicts on Saturday in which two officers nnd six soldiers wore slightly injured. Before tho order was given for bayonet charges tonight, Cap tain Welsh rea dthe riot act while fusil lades of stones were being thrown at the polico and the troops from the uppor windows as they passed through tho streets. To add to tho great con fusion many streets were in darkness. Tho charges of tho cavalry through tho narrow streets proved dangerous to the soldiers. Whilo tho infantry rushes were gener ally resisted, somo of tho rioters in ordor to savo themselves held women before them, tho latter shrieking: "Holy Mary, don't you hurt a wo man!" As a result of theso tactics several women aro said to havo received slight injuries from bayonet. Many of tho rioters received nasty blows from tho backs of swords and a num ber of soldiers sustained cuts and bruises. Many of tho rioters were arrested.

This was referred to tho resolution committee. A resolution from Clifton union re quested assistance for tho Graham County Advocate and was in lino with tho recommendation of Organizer Lit tle. Resolution from Jeromo Jerome union presented a resolution providing for tho uso of tho initiative and referendum in tlio olcction oi om ccrs and amendments of tho constitu tion. It wns rofcrrcd to tho committee on organization. f The only resolution on which action was takon was tho following, intro duced by Vico President Rawling: "Bo it resolved by tho oincors nnu dolegntcs to tho fourth annual conven tion of tho Arizona Stato Union, W. F. M., that wo recommend to tho mem bership of tho A. S. U. tho discontin uance of tho ritual and secrot mcotings of unions and that thoy adopt open mcotings as allowed by resolution of tho convention of tho W. F. M." Dolegato Cannon moved to adopt tho resolution and after half a dozen sec onds tho way wns open to debate, which Insted for over an hour. Rawl ing in an impassioned address support ed his resolution. Nothing Gained by Secrecy His principal motive, ho Bald, was that nothing could bo gained by secrecy in union meetings. It was this secrecy that caused Pinkerton detectives in tho pay of tho mino owners to1 join tho unions and it was theso men who had causod tho prosecution of tho Federa tion officials which ho characterized as the most malicious persecution in the history of labor. Tho unions aro hon eycombed by spies, spotters and detect ives, ho said, somo of whom havo beon made high officials of tho unions. Self defense was ono of tho reasons, but not tho only ono, for holding open meet ings. "Fear of tho boss has not boon les sened becnuso of secret meetings bo causo tho-boss nlways know what lind beon dono a short timo after tho union adjourned. ' ' Ho declared that tho secret mooting original motion for tho adoption of tho resolution was then unanimously adopt ed nnd on motion of Delegate Crough, tho resolution was referred to a com mittco of three for refraining for pub lication. The committco named com- puses Delegates Rawling, Cannon and .Crouch, Delegato Crouch created a sensation by announcing that William Jennings Bryan "after all these years of silenco had mado public mention of the Hay wood case." A resolution introduced by Delegate Starr, for tho appointment of a committco of three to tako stops that would assuro tho notification by tho W. F. M. of tho granting of char ters in this jurisdiction was unani mously carried. Will Meet Local Union A motion was mado by Vice Presi dent Rawling that the secretary bo in structed to communicate with Globo union, requesting tlint at tho conclu sion of its meeting this evening the members of the convention bo permit ted to discuss with them tho referen dum: on tho proposed changes in tho constitution. Tho motion was carried after which tho convention adjourned until this morning at 8 o'clock. Ac cording to a rulo mado yestgrday tho mnrnini session lasts from 8 to 11 o'clock and tho afternoon session begins at 2 and ends nt 5 o 'clock. This morning the committees will roport and debato and nction on tho roports will probably consumo most of tho morning session. At tho afternoon session thcro will probably bo on in teresting debato on tho resolution intro duced by Delegato Holihnn yesterday, doing away with tho making of con tracts by members of the organization in tho territory.

Fierce fight ing between fanatical tribesmen and tho French forces outside Casa Blanca was still in progress Saturday when tho French transport Aanantonolic left tho beleaguered town. Tho battlo started Thursday with a determined attack by tho Moors. Af ter a hard struggle tho tribesmen were driven back with great loss by tho defending forces, commanded by Gen eral Drude of tho Algerian Tirailleurs. Undismayed, the Moors continued to fight, despite the terrible havoc wrought in their ranks by tho French artillery. Tho latest reports say that the tribes men are gradually being driven back, the French cavalry and artillery on Sat urday being seven and a half miles from the city and alternately shelling and charging tho savago fanatics. Casa Blanca itself was quiet. Tho -destruction wrought by the shells of the French cruisers is more extensive than at first was thought to be tho case. Not a house, shop or warchouso is left undamaged. Tho streets arc still encumbered with bodies of dead natives, the work of the removal of which is still being carried on slowly. It is an appalling sight and the stench is so powerful that even thoso aboard tho ships in the harbor are sickened by it Danger of Disease Owing to tho number of dead still lying in the streets at Casa Blanca, the danger of an epidemic there is great " " "? ? The steamer Magnus, which left Casa ' ' Blanca Saturday brought ono hundred refugees, mostly Jews. Tho cruiser Aubo is at Mazagan, the Duchayla is on tho way to Safli and the Galilo eis at Rabat. The governor of Rabat has warned the natives that at the first sign of rebellion cruisers will bombard the city. Letters received here from Caid Har ry MacLean do not make it clear whe ther he is in the power of Raisuli or tho Kmass tribesmen. Every arriving steamer brings stories of fresh attacks upon and repulsed by General Drude 's troops. Details arc conflicting, but generally they agree. After a heavy attack on tho camp ou Thursday, Drude in person established a post of two hundred men east of tho city to prevent horsemen charging tho landing place. This post was repeated ly attacked throughout the day. Ad vanced posts also were stationed to cover tho city side, while the fleet pro tected the side toward Rabat, bcvcral charges were beaten off Thursday night and Friday morning. Tho tribesmen in large masses approached tho left main camp at full speed, but as soon as they sighted the guns of the war ships, tho horsemen veered and effected a skillful wide-turning movement, then suddenly wheeled and charged tho camp from tho right. The troops who boro the front of the assault emptied hun dreds of saddles before the Arabs broke. The troops lost two men killed and eight wounded. The passengers say deeds of gallan try among the troops were numerous. Moors Courageous Tho Moors also displayed a courago which astonished tho officers.
