Mine OWNERS REVOLT
SAY THEY WILL EMPLOY NO MORE
MEMBERS OF THE FEDERATION.
Action of Cripple Creek Employers
Who May Attempt to Import
Miners from Missouri.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Sept. 9--The
Mine Owners Association has announced
that no members of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners will be employed in any of
the properties owned by members of the
association. The federation's influence on
the prosperity of the district has been bad,
according to the mine owners, who openly
declare that they will no longer tolerate
its alleged dictation.
The union miners are still confidently ag-
gressive, and are keeping their organiza-
tion well intact. Officers of the fedora
tion declare that of 1000 men formerly en-
ployed in four mines at which an attempt
has been made to resume operations, only
ITO have returned to work.
1t is reported that the mine owners have
made arrangements with railroads for re-
duced rates for miners from southwest
Missouri and it is thought miners will be
brought from the Joplin lead district to
take the places of the strikers.
Work at Stratton Independence mine at
the State militia this morning. This is
the fourth mine to be started under the
protection of the military in the past two
days. The force of men employed at the
four mines is comparatively small although
the effort to resume operations has been
successful thus far.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-The official and press

the seriousness of the situation there and

TAGGART AND KEACH.
Democratic Chairman Has 1t Out with
the Former Boss.

Democratic City Chairman James L.

held long conference yesterday after

to him. Then L won't tell" he added,
when he was answered in the affirmative
The report was circulated last night, how
ever, that the session of the Democratic
leaders was an interesting one, and that
the primary purpose was not to discuss
ways and means for furthering the interests
of the Democratic city ticket According
to the report Chairman Reach has heard
recently that while the former mayor had
been interviewed several times to the ef-
feet that he would ardently support Hotz-
man, and the remainder of the Reach ticket
in reality he was not tearing any buttons
from his clothes in his efforts in behalf
of Hoffman, but on the contrary was Sc
cretly pulling wires to bring about Holtz-
mans defeat. Reach was naturally in
the report, and sent for the sage of French
Lick to have IL out with him.
Those who affected to know what trans
pired at yesterday afternoons conference
said that Keach told Mr.. Taggart bluntly
the reports he had heard and served notice
on him that he had better ''be good" or
he would wake up next spring to find that
another man had supplanted him as DEM
ocratic national committeeman from In
diana. Mr.. Taggart wants to remain on
the national committee. John r. Wilson,
one of Keach's main hackers. also wants
the national committeemanship. With
Reach and Wilson in control of the DEM
ocratic machinery in indianapolis il would
not be a difficult matter for them to make
deals in the next State convention whereby
the latter should be given the desired berth
on the national committee, while Mr. Tag
CART would be left to retire permanently
to the vicinity of French Lick.
1T is NOW REVERSED.
