and tho state. authorities aided by
Federal troops src IN full possession OF
the field. General Schotield said 10.

ing because soldiers had not arrested
the rioters had very improper con-
crpllon OF tho position Of the troops
In the matter. He explained that they
were ordered there merely to support
tho civil authorities In the restoration
of order and are acting altogether un.
der the governor OF the State. They
had no independent functions what.
ever, and absolutely nothing TO do
with any disorders that may have
occurred before their arrival. The
duty VI the civil authorities Is to en-.
force the law, and all the troops could
do was 20 protect them In so doing.

Irovements, and the shutdown was
much o. thuiT dead vantage.
q. II. Smith, who was sent by the
executive committee Of tho Wallace
MineTs' union 10 prevent the imp0rla.
ton into that section OF uDn.union
men, raid that while the ORIGIN of the
present tOublo could have been directly
traced to the demand Tor an increase OF
wages, which was unsuccessful, last
year, the direct cause Of the trouble
was the revolt by the men against the
hospital tax OF 81 per month levied by
the company, and which the mineFs
claimed was not productive " assist
ance TO them ut the time whenever
needed. The union built hospital at
Wallace and adopted rule that 81 pcI
month instead Of being paid TO the
companies should be paid to the hos.
pitai. The Bunker Hin and sullivan
company refused to recognize tho Jus.
lice oil this rule and u strike resulted In
favor OF tho miners. Smith claims tho
reduction OF wages then followed.
