to R 'yal City AMI informed Supt. Grim,
whose orders were to close down The
furnace. Then the strike became general
om'ng most Of the employees. On Sun.
day Supt. Grim went over 70 Bristol for
the purpose of consulting with the men,
but, SO we are informed, without any re.
suit, as the men stated that they would
not work without their demands were
acoeeae1 to, and that the furnace should
not run.

have said that he could send over to
Utah AMI employ Or secure all the fur.
mace hands that was needed at from so
to 50 per day, and that he would talk
with the Superintendent upon the adj
visibility of doing this. These remarks
very naturally incensed the strikers, and
they sent Kelsey letter requesting him
20 leave the town, or else they would
force him tn. kelsey denied making
any such remarks in Pinche. On that

The furnace hun l. re;eivel: smelters
ST per day helpers and feeders S3t per
dly, eisht-hour shifts. The men working
outside and around the furnace were
pail 50 day. This is the same as the
men who worked at the Bullion
vile furnace received. Ii the men
were dissatisfied with these wages, it
wa' certainly their privilege to Quit
work. No person c,ull compel them to
work for such wages; but they have not
any right to say to the officer Of the com.
p,ny, "You have to pay II higher wages,
or we will not permit the furnace to run. "
This Is carrying matters too far.
