Oue-Third Of the Men at Jerome. Aria.
Lose Their Places After Forcing . Com
ce.sion - Discios Of the Facts Leaves
Clark with Little Glory In the Ansir.
BUTTE. Mont July N.-Ths facts Just re-
cefved from Jerome. Ariz, relative TO the
reduction in the hours OF labor IN the United
Verde mines. owned by W. A. Clark, rob Mr..
Clark Of the credit he has been assuming in
the matter. and leave him with very little glory.
The facts are that he was forced to grant the
eight-hour day by the miners themselves. and
after having been compelled to grant their de-
mands. Mr.. Clark laid OF one shift Of men. by
which tho miners actually lost moro than they
gained by their enforced demands.
The United Verde miners had long oontem-
plated action to compel Clark to pay more than
q day, which he had been paying, or grant a
in Arizona recently, committee Of miners
waited on him at his hotel. but he refused to
see them. and they became threatening In their
that their demands would be considered, and
that final answer would be given at noon on
the following day. The men waited for Mr..
Clark at the appointed time. but he did not ap-
and in a body the miners called at Clark's hotel
and demanded a repl TO their grievance
The superintendent and Clark held n con-
sutation and il was determined best 10 do
something and the superintendent announced
10 the men that the hours Of labor would be
reduced from ten TO eight. The next day, after
Clark had departed 1t was announced at tho
mine that hereafter but two shifts Of men
would be worked. and thereby the number Of
men employed was reduced one-third.
In New York interview credited to Mr..
Clark the statement is made that he employs
In Montana between 5000 and 400 men. That
was probably a misquotation. as Mr.. Clark
does not employ over $50 men IN this State.
His own payrolls will show that 1t has always
been recognized that Mr.. Clark was never q
friend OF labor until his political ambition
made a pretence OF friendliness necessary.
Years ago, before he became so rich or am
bilious. ne favored a reduction Of wages in

THE fall term of the University

last year to begin on the first days
