Chances of Trouble Spread-!
mg To Verde District
Believed Remote.
By ERNEST DOKil.AS.
Jerome. Ariz.. July . Chances of
the strikes now in progress at Clif
ton, Morenci. Globe. Miami and Bis
bee spreading to the Verde district
are slim, according to local union men
and other keen observers. There is
little disposition among Jerome
miners to join in a general statewide
strike and if there is any recurrence
of the trouble which partially tied up
this district for two weeks in May it
will be brought about by purely local
disputes. I
The Jeroape strike was called off
when the Vnited Verde Copper com- j
pany offered to grant its employes!
the privilege of electing grievance
committees, and also pledged itself to I
use its best endeavors to lower the 1
cost of living in this district. The!
company further ajcreed to discrimi
nate against no man because of his!
union affiliations or activity In the
strike.
Inevitably, there was a little fric
tion the first few weeks after the
iren returned towork. Allegations of
discrimination against union men
were made but Individual grievances
amicaoiv awustea tn snort or
der. There was some wild talk of a
-snko really kaanr what was going for-
ard never expected any trouble.
I. W. W. Not a Fnetor.
Locally the L W. W. organization
is not a factor in the situation that
it is in the southern Dart of the state.
The "wobblies." as they are com
monly called, tried to run the Jerome
strike but there wre not enough of
them to wrest control irom tne inter
national union. Since peace was de
clared the I. . w. and International
do not get along very welt The
"wobblies" are still organizing and
claim to be gaining In strength, but
the International people remain
firmly in the saddle ana evidently
there is no chance for a shift in the
balance of power.
Servian Show Loyalty.
Another encouraging feature here
is the loyalty and growing Influence
of the Serbs. The Serbs are delighted
at the entrance of the United States
into the war against tne powers mat
ravished their native land. There
are between 300 and 400 Serbs In this
district and German intrigue cannot
touch them. Many or tnem declare
openly that the Austrians and Ger
mans want to close the copper mines
order to curtail tne manuiacture
of war munitions.
The Serbs in Jerome nave organized
an auxiliary to tne local rcea t ross .
societv and have pledged themselves i
. . t4AA mMltH IA th. T1 I
Cross fund. During Red Cross week
they contributed several nunarea
dollars. On the Fourth of July the
Serbs marched In a Red Cross narai".
bearing the American and Serbian
banners abreast.
ClrrL Get Shorter Hours.
Aided and encouraged bv the
miners' union, the Jerome clerks or
ganized a union after the strike and
ruled that no member should work
over eight hours a day. I'p to that
time the stores had been opening al
7:30 and closing at :20: and eah
clerk had one hour off for lunch.
Xow the stores which met the de
mands of the union open at 8 and
close at . while each employe has
two hours off in the course ot the day.
The stores remain open until 7 oclock
Saturdays, paydays and days before
holidays. Previously they were open
till p. m. those days.
One Store Holds Out.
The only firm that refused the de
mands of the union was the T. F.
Miller company, which is owned by
relatives of former senator W. A.
Clark, owner of the t'nited Verde.
The union men Induced Miller's de
livery men. 11 in number, to go on
strike. Miller immediately announced
that the fre delivery system was
abolished at the company's Jerome
and Clarkdale stores.
I. W. W. AT JEROME TAKES
VOTE ON STRIKE QUESTION
Denver, Colo.. July . Industrial
Workers of the World at Jerome.
Aril., are taking a vote on a strike
today in the United Verde and other

Mr. Moyer said he had advised his

Mr. Hunt is acting in the matter
at the reauest of president ilson
that he use his best efforts to bring
aoout an agreement between the
miners and the mine operators. Be
fore leaving Mr. Hunt stated he would
endeavor to secure a truce between
the two factions and urge upon the
men that they commit no act that
would tend to tie up the copper in
dustry during the time of crisis, when
the nation is dependent to a large ex
tent upon the copper industry.
Mr. Hunt is known to be an acceDt-
