Answer:
Prosecuted the responsible for the Bisbee Deportation, but no one was convicted.
Explanation:
The Bisbee Deportation of 12 July, 1917, refers to the kidnapping and deportation of over 1,300 Bisbee miners. The Phelps Dodge Corporation had control of several mines in the state of Arizona, including one next to the town of Bisbee. Working conditions for the miners were extremely hard and pay was very low. The miners unionized and demanded better conditions. But when Phelps Dodge refused, the miners went on strike on 26 June, 1917. Phelps Dodge movilized and with the help of local sheriffs and their deputies, arrested the miners, loaded them into cattle railroad cars, and shipped them off state, deporting them to New Mexico.
The miners complained before the federal government, deeming the action illegal. A commission set up by President Woodrow Wilson and led by Secretary of Labor William Wilson determined that the deportation was indeed illegal. The federal government sought to prosecute the responsible for the Bisbee Deportation. However, no one was convicted. A federal court found that the US government had no power to act against the deportation, as it was beyond its legal reach. Local courts in Arizona took no action against the participants of the Bisbee Depotation.
