(ges Women to Do City Work To Allow Meq Return to Soil Washington, March 22 The primary responsibility for furnishing labor for the farm this year is a community and not a governmental one, said Clarence Ousley, assistant secretary of agriculture, in a statement tonight on women working on farms. "No agency of the government," he said, "can create labor or compel men to pursue any particular vocation." He urged that women seek to "re place men in cities at brief intervals, to enable the men ta work on the farms" during the cultivating and har vesting season, pointing out that "it should, be understood that the man power of the country is not yt ex hansted, and that except for certain slighter tasks men are better adapted .fhan women for farm work."

Gathering of evidence against citizens olBisbee, Ariz., who were responsible for , the deportation of 1,186 striking copper miners last July 12, has about been completedby the Department of Justice, and a report will be? made soon to President Wilson. , Some Department of Justice offi cials believe that federal statutes were violated in the seizure by the vigilance committee of the Bisbec exchange of the Bell Telephone company and the attempt to exercise a censorship over interstate connection of both tele phone and telegraph lines, and by the committee's measures to prevent the return of some of the deported; work ers to their homes, where they were registered for the draft. If it is found that there is insuffi cient evidence to justify prosecution in federal courts, it is probable that the Department of Justices report will be forwarded to Governor Hunt of Arizona for any action he may wish toMake. . ' Would Discredit Labor. It is understood that federal agents also have investigated .complaints by organized labor that copper mining companies ot the Warren district ot Arizona financed Industrial Workers of the World propaganda among the workers in order to discredit the or ganized labor movement. Reports on this und other phases of the in vestigatiou have been received from United States Attorney Flynn of the Arizona district. ' The attention of the Department of Justice was called to the Warren de; portation particularly by a report o the labor mediation committee, headed by Secretary Wilson, last November, after inquiries into labor conditions in the Warren copper district. The committer declared . there, was little basis for the fear of Bisbee citizens that the strikers planned extensive sabotage, that most of the men were law-abiding American citizens, few were members of the Industrial Workers of the World, and that there was no justification for the forcible deportation, made under the direction of Sheriff Wheeler of Cochise coun ts', with the assistance ot a number of citizens sworn in as deputies. .. The committee recommended en actment a a federal law making sim? liar deportations from one state to another a criminal action. GERMAN ATTACK London, March 22. Emperor Wil liam,.
