Judge Murphy Says
Copper Mine Owners
Are Unreasonable
riHTIlOlT, Mleh., Aug. -Judge Al
fred J. Murphy of this oily, personal rep
teaenlAtlre of Governor Kerrla In the
Hrpr penlnaula copper mine strike lln
iriet. In a report to the Bovertior todny,
declared the oporntor nro "unrennonntile
and arbitrary" In some of tliulr tcrma
submitted yeslmlay for settlement of
the ltbor trotible. He alao reported that
he believed the strikers had "real griev
ances." "In my Judgment the refusal of the
employers to re-employ any striker who
has engaged In nets of agitation or who
tuts Inelted thereto. Is unreasonable and
arbitrary," said Judge Murphy. "To agi
tato for any legitimate end Is tho right
of American citizens. Tho position of
the employers that withdrawal from
membership In the federation must be a
condition precedent to re-cmploymcnt Is
equally arbitrary and untenable. It Is
basically tinamerlcan."
Judge Murphy reported that he be
lieves that there are real grievances
among tho strikers, especially on the
part of the trammers. He suggested that
tho stnto tako steps to acqulro authority
to brine both faction In for full exam
ination as to labor conditions and
thereby take steps for authoritative set
tlement of the difficulty. He said troops
are stilt necessary In the strike district.
Antarctic Explorers
Are Nearly Starved
ciiiubt ciruitcir, n. z., Aug. n.-no-
Uef arrived just In the nick of time to
save the lives of Dr. Douglas Mawson, the
Australian Antarctic exporer, and his flvo
companions, who were left In March, last,
on Macquarle Island, In the Antarctic
ocean, when the remaining twenty-four
members of Dr. Mawson's expedition re
turned to Tasmania.
The six men were believed to have
ample provisions to lust them until the
Antarctic spring, but the commander of
a government steamer recently sent to
their relief reports that tho explorers had
exhausted all their supplies and had been
living for soma time on tho hearts and
tongues of sea elephants. All of them
were In a very weak condition when the
relief ship reached them.
Dr. Mawson's expedition was unfortun
ate In losing by death two of Its members
owing to accldonts on tho Ice Lieutenant
Nlennls, an English army officer, and Dr.
Xavler Merts, a Swiss scientist.
The original expedition left Hobart, Tas
mania, on December 2, 1311, Its principal
object being the exploration and survey
of the. Antarctic coast line.
When tho Aurora went to fetch the ex
plorers back early this year, the vessel
was forced to leavo before taking on Dr.
Mawson and his five companions, as It
was In' danger of being crushed by the Ice.

"Would the fact that national politics

any tendency to Influence your mind In

question today of Marshall Woodworth,
chief counsel for the defense, In exam
ining veniremen.
"I think counsel uses a most unfor
tunate phrase," commented the court,
after several repetitions. "I should be
sorry to think that what has arisen In
connection with this cose could be called
national politics. I think it might be
properly called party politics In Wash

ment that tho Mexican government has
paid due attention to tha advice and con

of tho United States.
Continuing, it says:
"Tho Imputation contained In the first

Continuing, the note suys:
