IL learned to-day that organizers
have been secretly al work among the min

them was served with an injunction TO re-

to have them join the general suspension.

bring out the men at Turtle Greek, Sandy

decided on. The officials feel that in order
to make the strike a success in this dis

They admit they have a difficult Job on
their hands. De Armitts men seem deter

Bryan Took Part in the Exercises
at Salt Lake.

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 20-To-day
marks the half century since the pioneers
under the leadership of the Mormon apos-
tie first entered the Salt Lake valley and
founded this commonwealth The day has
been celebrated in manner which leaves
no doubt of the reverence in which those
pioneers are held by the people of the State
The phalanx of veterans that marched from
Pioneer square to East Temple street and
later to the Tabernacle, there to receive
their gold badges, was an Impressive sight
These men redeemed the desert and
founded State and they were the recip-
tents of every honor that could be bestowed
upon them.
AT o'clock this morning the veterans be-
gan to gather on Pioneer square. At 10
o'clock the veterans marched north
to the Pioneer monument. They
were followed by the Twenty-fourth
Infantry Band. Then came older pioneers in
carriages followed by the Utah National
Guard. On the platform at the monument
sat the first presidency, members of the
twelve apostles Governor Wells and other
distinguished citizens. Before the assem-
Oily was called to order William j. Bryan
stepped on the platform and as the great
silver champion shook hands with PreSi-
dent Woodruff prolonged cheers broke forth
from the multitude. The ode to Brigham
Young was rendered by the Tabernacle
choIr from the porticO of the
hall OF the relies. James H. Moyle
made the speech of presentation. 1t
was then announced that President Wood
run would unVeil the monument. President
Woodruff said: In the name of God /
now unVeil this monument" and instantly
the stars and stripes fell away from the
splendid granite column, surmounted by
the figure of Brigham Young. A great cheer
went up, which was answered by salute
fired by the NauvoO legion. Governor Wells
accepted the monument on behalf of the
people. Apostle Brigham Young, eldest son
of the famous apostle, then delivered an
appropriate speech. The Tabernacle choir
sang and the benedicton was pronounced
by Bishop ScanlOn. of the Catholic Church
This afternoon the Tabernacle was thrown
open to the pioneers. On the communion
table stood thirty-three baskets beautifully
decorated, and in each basket was a leather
casket containing d gold pioneer medal. On
the stand sat tWenJy-SeVen young ladies
dressed in white, representing the twenty
seven counties in the State, whose duty it
was to present the badges. Chairman
Clawson announced that he had been Sc
lected to present the badge to the oldest
living member of the pioneer band. The
audience applauded as he stepped upon the
stage and laid a beautiful gold medal in
the hands of President Woodruff, who re-
Gently celebrated his ninetieth birthday.

NO AMALGAMATED SCALE,
Manufacturers and Men Fail to Make
Settlement.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., July 20-The Anal
gamated Association wage scale committee
wrestled within itself all morning and I'M
til o'clock in the afternoon over the ques-
ton of making concessions to the manu-
facturers, and was evident, from the final
result of the conference. instead of de-
the finishers or puddlers' scale, they only
frightened up their resolution to stand out
for the scale in full as adopted at the De-
trolt convention. AT 6 O'Clock this afternoon
the Amalgamated Association committee
sent word that it was ready to meet the
manufacturers, who were in another room,
and then the two sides got together, the
first time since last night They remained
in joint secret session until Z o'clock this
evening. and then gave up hope of agree
ing, and adjourned until Aug. 2 unless one
side or the other should ask for another
conference before that date

An Unlikely Proposition.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, July 20.-The report in the
morning papers that the Indiana operators
contemplate offering the miners 50 cents
per ton for the remainder of the year in
case they return to work at once is news
to the operators here. When questioned
regarding the proposition they said that an
offer of that kind had not been contem-
plated here and there was no indication
that it would be, as it would be unwise for
the operators to place themselves in such a
predicament. In case the strike should be
settled on the present scale basis the opera
tors who had signed the 69-cent scale would
be completely shut out of the market, and
consequently would be compelled to close
their mines. A number of leading miners
were seen and informed of the report. They
were unanimous in their assertions that the
men here would positively refuse to return
TO work at any price until general settle
ment was perfected.

BUILDING AND LOAN FAILURE.
Alabama Company with $1,0OO,OOO
Capital Unable to Pay.

MACON, July 20.-NIiles Abel has gar
nished all stockholders in this city of the
Southern Building and Loan Association, of
Huntsville, Ala, on a claim of $1,000 due

that the company was in bad circumstance

due him. The company could not pay 1t
and he proceeded to garnishee the stock
holders. The association was regarded as
one of the strongest in the country having

perhaps, more stockholders than any other

spent to-day at the mines east of here on
the Big Four road. They found some cases
of actual suffering, but the commissioners
seem to have been impressed that the ex-
IRENE distress is not so universal as has
been commonly reported. The accredited
committees which have been soliciting re-
lief have found that unauthorized solicitors
had been ahead of them nearly everywhere
they went in cities, towns and even in the

Heads of Indiana Miners and Opera
tors to Join the Conference.


Labor Commissioner Mccormack waited
in his Office in the Capitol all day yesterday
for some word from the strike conference
in the East, but was disappointed. He left
the conference for the purpose of persuad-
ing President Knight, of the Indiana mine
workers, and President Talley of the In
diana Operators Association. to attend the
Pittsburg conference, and succeeded. These
two gentlemen left for Pittsburg at noon
yesterday, and their talk gave the commits
sioner reason to believe that they would do
their best to help the cause of peace along.
Commissioner Mccormack, who is the la
Dor representative on the Indiana. board. is
firmly convinced that De Armitt is sincere
and is right in his position that as a pre-
requisite to the settlement of the trouble
the pluck me" store should go. In his
early experience in the mines De Armitt
was for some years clerk in one of these
establishments and the experience of rob-
berry and suffering that he got there caused
him to VOW that no employee of his should
ever be subjected to the system.
