Dispatches About Bisbee. De
portatioQS Held Up by Or
der of Mine Officials Said
it Was Sheriffs Order.
. Douglas, Ariz., July 13. The edi
torship imposed on Associated Press
dispatches filed here and in Bisbee
yesterday during the deportation of
nearly 1,200 members of the Industrial
Workers jof 4hev World from Bijbee
was directed by two officers of the
1 helps-Dodge corporation Robert
Kea, general auditor of the. corpora
tion, and II. H. Stout, superintendent
ot the topper Queen bmeltcr here,
These men and not an army officer,
as reported to the outside world by
the Western Union office here at the
time, were the ones who issued the
censorship orders to the telegraph
company.
The " report that the military , au
thorities had established the censor
ship was due, according to Manager
J illotson, of the local Western Union
omce, to the fact that Mr. Stout, jten
erally known at "Captain" and to the
fact that his dress is similar to that
an army man,
v Thought Stout Army Captain.
Mr. Tillotson told the Associated
Tress after the censorship had been
removed and an investigation made
that he thought Mr. Stout was a can-
lain in the regular army and that he
was oouna to obey his orders regard
i ing the transmission of dispatches re
Jating to the disturbance at Bisbee.
The reoort that the military author.
Hies had imposed the censorship per
sisted throughout the district until
late last night when injuiries at army
headquarters brought the information
that no military censorship had been
in enect.
Early today Mr, Sftout admitted
lliat he had directed the censorship
but said he had acted on instructions
' "from the sheriff's office" at Bisbee.
Pressed ai to who in the sheriff's
office had authority to censor tele.
' grams Mr. Stout was unable to del
1 ignate from what person he had re-
ccived his instructions but oeriiited
that they came from Bisbee. Sheriff
Harry . Wheeler went to Columbus
with the cattle train on which the
men were deported and had not re
turned to Douglas early today.
Orders Dispatch Killed.
The first dlsoatch concernin the
deportations were filed. by a corre.
spondent ot the Associated Press in
' the Western Union office at 6 a. m. It
was forwarded at once to EI Faso, to
be relayed to the Associated Press
office at Denver, but before the relay
. was mane Mr. Kae, representtng the
Phelps-Dodge corporation, which
controls the mines affected by the
strme at jiisDee. instructed the oper
ator on duty that the messasre was
withdrawn. Upon this authority, ac-
, corning to information given the As
, sociated Press by the local Western
Union office, , the. message was re-
called by the operator. ,
Soon after the first application of
'the Phelps-Dodga censorship, Mr.
Stout informed Manager Tillotson of
the tctcgraph Company concerning the
nature of the censorship that was to
be imposed and Mr. Tillotson obeyed,
holding up all messages relating to
mc nisoee aeponauons until 4 0 clock
in the afternopn .......
Mr. Stout and Mr, Rea both dis
cussed the censorship while it was in
effect, saying they desired no In
formation to reach the outside WQrJd
until the deportations had been com
pleted satisfactorily to them.
Broker1 "Wire .Censored,
The copper company officials also
censored the leased wire of a broker
age company and undertook to cen
sor telephone calls. In their tele.
, phone censorship they were only
partly successful, for late in the day
i connection was obtained with Tuc
. ion and brief bulletin transmitted.
Although Mr. Stout said his orders
for the censorship came from the
Sheriffs office at Bisbee, corre
spondents in the latter place were
tender the impression that Mr. Stout
was directing the censorship of both
towns from Douglas.
. One' correspondent ""whose d!s
t (itches were held up in Bisbee
reached Mr. Stout over the telephone
to obtain a release of his messages,
but was informed that the censorship
would be raised when the men had
assed through Douglas and not be
ore. Every effort to learn by what
, authority the Phelps-Dodge officials
imposed the censorship was without
avail until today, when Mr. Stout
j referred inquirers to' the sheriff.

FRENCH GIRLS SET
NEW STRIKE FASHION
Seamstresses of Paris by Un
usual Methods Win Demands
for Better Working Con
ditions. (Corrupandeiica ef Tha Aaaoclatad Prw.)
Paris, July 1. The sewing girls of
Paris have set a new fashion in the
conduct of strikes and added dignity
to a nicknam. that had become more
or less familiar. Thev have shown
that hobnailed boots and bludgeons
are not the only effective means of
persuasion m labor contentions.
The "midinette" strike is already a
precedent, though it ended onlv re
cently. Several other strikes modeled
after it have succeeded since and oth
ers are in process of settlement.
Never again, in all orobabi itv. will
the condition of working women of
Paris be what it was before, and what
it nas neen during the war, with thou,
sands of girls working ten hours a
day for from 30 to 40 cents.
Tha "Midinette" Strike.
The strike was called the "midi
nette" strike, though in the beginning
it was purely a dressmakers' strike.
The "m'dinettes" are not only sewing
girls, but milliners, feather workers,
l a'.a a . '
emoroiaerers, ana other workers who
trip out into the Rue de la Paix. Ave
nue de 1' Opera and other streets of
Paris every noon from the hundreds
of houses whose business is to clothe
woman elegantly and luxuriously.
They are called "midinettes" be
cause midi or noon is the hour when
they are to be seen by twos, threes
and even fours, arm-in-arm, hurrying
away to creameries, lunch counters or
cheap restaurants for a modest meal,
of, weather permitting, to the public
squares and gardens to share a lunch
on a park bench and feed crumbs to
the sparrows.- The second syllable,
nette, is nothing more than a diminu
tive that fits them quite well. The
combination "midinette" might be
translated "little noon girl." ; , . . .,
Centers of Fashion.
The buildings from which these
noon girls' come are the centers of
fashion for the world. In these build
ings are created each season the
styles that are worn in New York and
London even Berlin. They are gen
erally vast and alwavs sumntuous.
with majestic liveried porters at the
doors and smartly dressed footmen
inside.
Elegantly dressed saleswomen re
ceive customers in show roomi that
resemble fashionable salons, with deep
soit carpets, antique lurmture, prince
ly tapestries and rare objects of art.
Everything in these rooms and in
the fitting room suggests liinh prices.
yet on the other side of the partitions
that divide the show and fitting rooms
from the v ot kshop there were, before
the strike, girls working ten hours
to earn thj equivalent of 30 cents.
? Girl Are Valuable.
Although thousands of these cirls
were workinir for a bare existence in
these palaces of fashion, yet to their
inborn taste and skill were due the
development of those houses and the
reputation of Paris as the center of
fashion. The proof of it is that dress
making concerns with a Parisian repu
tation haveN tried to do elsewhere
and with other help what they did in
Paris with the aid of the "midinettes."
and failed.? ,;
A great many American women
have paid hundreds of dollars for
dresses made in these establishments,
but the American woman does not
suspect that the "midinette" who
made her rich gown for a little less
than living wages has mad . one like
it for herself at night of the same
pattern and quite as perfect in cut
and fit, but of less rich material
bought with money saved from-her
FINF.1HD MfiURESM!
ITS INDEPENDENCE!
Passage of Bill by Diet on
Thursday Creats Issue
Which May Disturb
Russia.
Petrograd, July 13. Th e Finnish
Piet on Thursday passed the second
reading of a bill virtually establishing
Finnish independence. The introduc
tion of the bill has created a serious
Crisis here and N. C. Tcheidse, presi
dent of the (found! of Workmen's and
Soldier's delegates, has gone to HeU
singfors in an effort to settle the dif
ferences. '
According to the newspaper Bir
heviya, M. Lvoff's socialist colleagues
declare themselves in principle in
sympathy with Finland's move. TUe
premier and other ministers belonging
to the cabinet party refuse, however,
to allow Finland to determine its rela
tions with Russia, insisting it must
wait until the meeting of the consti
tuent assembly.
The Retch declares it is impossible
for Russia to tolerate Finland's move.
The Binheviya hints at armed inter
ference, saying Kussia is now about to
make a last attempt toward a peaceful
settlement.
Actordine to. the oresent nrocram.
Helsingfors will tomorrow put the bill
passed Thursday into force "by simple
declaration," meaning without Rus
sia's sanction. This is the first for
mal denial of Russia's suzerain right.
The law, which was engineered by
socialists, proclaims that Russia has
lost all authority in Finland, except in
the domains of diplomacy and in the
army and navy wherein, however,
Russia's rights are undefined. All
other prerogatives of the grand duke
of Finland which the provisional gov
ernment clajms passed automatically
to it. belong to Finland. Specifically
the Diet assumes the grand duke's
right to put into execution the law,
convoke and prorogue the legislature
and appoint a supreme executive,
The governpr-generaf is not men
tioned in the law, and, as no functions,
are left him, he is practically super
seded. Telegrams from Helsingfors
declare that after the promulgation of
tne law tne JUiet will appoint its own
senate.
