Three men were killed and at least
ten wounded in the fight yesterday be-

trimmer in the mine.
Non-union men numbering 100 were
driven over the range into Ouray county
and warned never to return. The strike
which eliminated In the outbreak yes
terday, was ordered by the miners
union on May l last. 1t followed the
refusal OF the mine management to
guarantee all miners employed mini
mum wages Of SO a day. The company
resumed operations June II with a non
union force.
In furtherance OF the general desire
for an amieable and peaceful settlement
of the points at issue between the unien
and the company, a business men
meeting was held at Telleride Friday,
at which the positive assurance is said
to have been given that the union
should not take action without consul
tation with the business men, who had
consented to serve as a committee OF
mediation and they were only awaiting
the return of Manager Collins to take
action when the outbreak occurred.
Oficials OF the miners union de-
clare the march on the mines yesterday
was entirely without the sanction OF
the organization.
