WISDOM HAS PREVAILED.

WISDOM HAS PREVAILED.
 The past few days have been prolific of measures of the greatest significance to the people of Globe and the import ant mining interests upon which they are to so large an extent dependent. We have emerged from a great cloud of doubt, of dissension and of bitter ness of feeling, whose sinister aspect seemed to seeiously threaten the peace and well-being of the community.
 The crisis in long period of con tention and distrust had been reached and it required the utmost forbearance and sound judgment to avert the break ing of storm of malevolence that would have been disastrous to all.
 Happily, the wise counsel of the mine superintendents, the large bo dy of conservative employees and the busi- ness men of Globe, has prevailed and the result is an amicable and equitable adjustment of all differences, the resto- ration of harmony, and the birth of what promises to be an era of good feeling and prosperity for Globe and the rich mineral district of which she is the business center.
 The policy that is to govern the ope- rations of the mines of Globe district in the future, as outlined in the propo- sition submitted by the several mine superintendents to Globe Miners union and accepted by that organization, al most unanimously, is maniiestly fair to the employees, and highly creditable to the sense of justice and the wisdom of those superintendents who formulated and signed the agreement, and to which, as We confidently believe. all the com. panies owning and operating mines in this district will give their assent.
 The right of any body of men to or ganize for mutual benefits is freely rec ognized. Broadly stated, the indiyid- ua is to be protected in his rights un- der the law he is not to be coerced, or compelled to join the union, and there is to be no di -criminatiOn between union and non-union men, and not less important is the sixth clause of the agreement, which stipulates that all boycotts and fair and unfair lists shall be withdrawn and employees shall be allowed to trade wherever they elect.
 iuOSC aiC 'ilai piluCl'lSb TUT "HiCu the SILVER BELT has always stood and for which we have contended with es- pecial earnestness during the past year and half, and, therefore, we have reason to feel gratifed at the outcome and will, we trust, be pardened for claiming share of the credit for the final recognition of these principles by the people of Globe generally.
 In conclusion, we wish to congratu- late Globe Miners union on having re. pudiated false leaders and resolutely declared themselves in favor of a pol icy that will promote harmony and op- crate to the advantage of themselves as individuals and as an organization, as well as to all other persons, firms aud corporations identified with Globe dis | trict and desiring the common welfare.
 Laying aside all chickering's and ill., will, let us work in unison for the ad- | vancement of Globe, and the building up of the mining industry in this dis trict, and we will soon enjoy the pros. perity and contentmeut which follows honest and well-directed effort.
