MANAGER ALIENS STATEMENT
CoMPANY'S SIDE OF CENTENNI-
AL-EUREKA STRIKE.
Why He Refused to Discuss the Sub
ject With the Committee-Men

Especial 20 The Herald.)

Eureka, July sc. Z. Allen, general
manager of the Eureka
Mining company, today consented TO
make statement concerning the
boarding house strike of that COM
pany's employees. He said:
Some cOIored and misleading state
ments have appeared in all the daily
papers concerning the attempt of GER
tain men to stop the working of the
Centennial Eureka mine. I believe
that these statements have been made
through lack of correct information.
and not purposely.
Tuesday evening some drunken
men created disgraceful row in
the boarding house and assaulted
Chinaman. l went into the dining room
and asked who was making the trOu-
BILE. Two men took the blame. l dis
charged them. Shortly after l dis
charged the third man for the same
reason. Then fOrty-siX men came to
the office and demanded their pay.
told them the clerk would make it out
that night and pay them the next day.
Wednesday morning about forty or
fifty of these men, who by their own
wish and action were no longer en-
ployeeS of the company, came up the
hill in a body. Dan D. CrOnin, a peace
officer of this county, and l met them
at the line of this property and for
babe them to come upon its grounds.
They obeyed like good citizens and true
men. with the exception of three or
four. who wished to incite the rest to
some overt act, yet were shrewd
enough to commit none themselves.
The bows asked that l should meet a
committee. l agreed to see them at s
o'clock D. m. At that hour the COM
mittee came to the office and asked
me whether I would abolish the board
ing house or make it optional to board
in case of unmarried men not support
ing relatives in Eureka, these being
the only men required to board with
| the company. l refused to discuss any
| company business whatever with them
| because they were not employees of
the company, having quit work and
| demanded their pay of their own free
/ will. and. therefore, they had no inter
est in this matter.
Each man who was induced to quit
work by these outsiders is back at
work or can come back if he is a good
man and the bosses need him.
Il wish to say that with the excep-
| ton of five or six of those who drew
their time. they conducted themselves
decentlv and have tried to avoid all
riotous demonstration. Five or six
/ 'foaters' would have melted violence
/ had thew dared. and so far as they
could. without danger to themselves
did stir I'D trouble.

to convince the health commissioner
that formaldehyde adulteration is the
proper thing. Frame thought the pro-
duct from his dairy could not be I'M

applied because he had heard of no

When DR.. King recovered from the
hypnotic state into which Frame had
talked him, he told the dairyman very
fOrcibly that he could have no permit
from the health department for vend-
ing milk till he promised to refrain
from adulterting the milk from his

showed that his word was being faith
fully kept
Frame promised to obey the law and
wanted a permit by taking out a license

making of an analysis of the dairy
mans weddings, Health Commissioner
King forbid him delivering milk from
his dairy, under pain of arrest and
prosecution.
