HOW THE STRIKE CAME ABOUT
Mining Union Officials Tell of Their
Grievances

Mining Union Officials Tell OF Their
Grievances.
The strike was a surprise to the public
at large, and even to the residents of
Wardner.
The Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines
opened up after the big strike of two
years ago on September rs, 1888 The
miners union was unknown at that
time, but the Knights of Labor was in
existence. The opening was hailed with
delight generally and there were no de-
mands that only union men be en-
ployed. At that time Manager Bradley
furnished to the knights of Labor the
following letter:
Wardner, Idaho, Sept. 25, 1S93.-Knights
of Labor, Wardner Idaho: l hereby as
sure you that Mr.. George IL. Bent mas
charge of our mine to work 1t for the best
interests of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
NJ & C. Co. The only instructions that he
has from me regarding the employment OF
men Is that he keep no man In the mine
who cannot earn his wages. Neither Mr.
Bent nor myself is Interested in any
boarding house. store or saloon. our men
are at perfect liberty to spend their money
as they see fit. Every man in our employ
has the free choice of saying whether his
hospital dollar shall go to the sisters or TO
the company hospital.

THE UNION.
After a short time the Wardner Min
ers' Union No. is Western Federation
Of Miners, was organized and its MEM
bers ERE allowed to work in the mine
Notwithstanding it was paying less
than the mines on Canyon creek are
now paving The officers of the local
union are: President, j. w. Glass; vie
president Peter Dorsey: financial sec
rotary, VIM. Murphy; recording secre
tary, T.. ID. Frazier, and treasurer, d. M
Gordon.
The miners in their statement to the
representative of the SpokesmanRe
view differ as to the attitude of the
company toward the union. Secretary
Murphy said the company secretly op
posed 1t and aimed to keep down the
| union element in employees to less than
one-half President Glass. however

organization. Manager Bradley says
positively he did not At any rate the
union prospered and it is said had about

Loss Of the Los Angeles.

The Pacific Coast Steamship Co.'S
steamer Los Angeles, was totally
wrecked near Point Sur lighthouse, 80
miles south of Monterey, on the coast
OF California, Sunday night, between 9
and 10 O'Clock. The place is known
to be exceedingly dangerous to ship
ping, and on approaching that point
Capt. Leland left the vessel in charge
OF the third officer with instructions to
call him, for he wanted to be on deck
when passing that dangerous point
This the third officer failed to do, and
the loss of the ship is the result
There we're IS passengers and 81 crew
aboard at the time of the disaster
Four lives were lost. The vessel and
cargo are total loss.
The Los Angeles was an old vessel
She was once the revenue cutter Wy
anda, and when sold by the Govern.
ment was purchased by Goodall, Mel.
son & Perkins, and put in service on
the coast as freight and passenger
boat. Her tonnage was only 800
and for some she time has not been
rated as first-class.
The rocks at Point Sur have long
been menace to navigation. Nine
years ago the Entura was lost on them

The commissioners give notice also

impending Coxey invasion. After q
consultation with the attorney for the
district manifesto was prepared which
is addressed to all whom it may con-
Germ, and reads as follows:
WHEREAS, 1t is reported that several
organized bodies of men are approach
ing the District of Columbia with the
avowed purpose of securing such con-
gressional actions as will relieve the
condition of unemployed laborers
throughout the country; and,
WHEREAS, All unemployed men and
others throughout the country who
may be in sympathy with the move
ment have been invited to assemble in
front of the national capitol May l, for
the purpose of compelling favorable
action by congress by mere force OF
numbers and physical presence; and,
WHEREAS, The constitutional right
OF petition does not justify methods
dangerous to peace and good order,
which threaten the national Capitol,
which are contrary to law and opposed
to the ordinary means OF obtaining
executive relief under our system OF
government; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is declared to be the
intention Of this body of unemployed
and destitute people, not only to gather
together for the purpose aforesaid in
Washington, but there to remain until
their mission shall, have been &C.
complished; and,
WHEREAS, The national capital is
chiefly devoted TO public business, and
is the center of federal legislation, and
as result ofits lack OF ordinary means
OF affordlng employment, is now taxed
to its utmost capacity in charitable ef-
forts to care for its own poor and un-
employed;
Now, therefore, the commissioners
OF the District of Columbia, who are
charged with the duty OF maintaining
peace and good order, will enforce
the laws in said district, being sensible
OF the gravity of the situation and fully
