The Salt Lake Mining Review argues mining, once seen as illegitimate, offers greater stability and wealth than farming. A proven ore body yields permanent value, unlike crops that fail or vary. As mining gains recognition, men can pursue the industry without compromising respect among peers or self-esteem.
The piece accuses the LW W of undermining American labor and hints at drastic action to separate non allied unions. It calls for conservative steps, predicts deportation of violent LW W members, and asserts that the SWW will soon confront the LW W in Arizona.
Edward T. Leech editor of the Memphis Press was jailed for contempt after describing political conditions in Memphis. The editorial note argues the case highlights judicial misuse of power and could prompt municipal house cleaning and greater public scrutiny.
A wartime five percent excise tax on candy is criticized as unjust and counterproductive. The editorial argues it harms sugar suppliers and consumers, especially children, and urges repeal of the tax.
The Industrial Workers of the World formed in Chicago in June 1905 amid conflict with existing unions. Leaders like Gompers criticized the IWW and labor-strike tactics, while Haywood highlighted ongoing class struggle as foundational. The piece contrasts IWW against the American Federation of Labor and notes membership disputes and turnover.
Petrolomm and its by products are hailed as a great national asset with exports surpassing 4,000,000,000 and annual oil production eight times value of all mineral outputs. The piece notes numerous by-products and criticizes Congress for leasing and regulation delays hindering development and war control.
The Republican Public Association of Washington is labeled a fraud by the Salt Lake Tribune and Taft. Jonathan Bourne Jr. from Oregon heads the group, yet two Oregon senators now back ratification. The issue transcends party lines, though many Republican papers have been misled by Bournes and Borahs.
Editor Breen of the Coconino Sun urges discharged soldiers and sailors to have their discharge papers recorded in the county recorder's office of their residence. The permanent record can aid future proof of service if originals are lost or destroyed, a problem many Civil War veterans have faced amid organizational chaos and delays in obtaining duplicates.
W B Cleary formerly of Bisbee, who rode the train with the Wobblies from camp July 12, 1917, writes Phoenix groups that he will move to practice law. He urges that labor advocates back a governor candidate in the next Arizona political year and has spent time in California aiding I W W defendants. He spoke to Los Angeles shipyard strikers urging union card destruction in favor of the one big union.
