 Strikers Determined

A Jerome dispatch says:- There have been no startling developments in the strike situation bere today. The streets are lined with groups of men who have been standing for i ours discussing the situation, but there has been no show nor threats of violence thus far, and none is an,ic- ipated.
 A me- ting of the strikers was held at which they determined to hold out to the last 10: an eight.hour day and increased wages. Many employees have signiied their intention of draw. ing :hs;. time-checks and leaving Jerome. They are dissatisfied on account on the length O! tune they arc compelled to labor to register 6 days work in this camp, and also they complain oiinsufficient com pen- sstion. Some ol the men are not sui feiently interested in the future of the camp to see the strike to c fni.h and others have not the means Of su.- taining themselves in Jerome without continuous working and prefer to leave rather tban to go 10 work again.
 Senator Clark is quoted as having said: Rather than accede Co the demands of the strikers I will see Jsrsme grow up in grsss.
