A Strike in Tuolumne County.

The miners affiliated with the West
ern Federation of Miners in Jamestown
district went out on strike last Friday,
because of the employment of a few
non-uniOn miners. The strike involves
four mines-the Jumper, Golden Rule,
Santa Ysabel and App. These prop
critics employ about 300 men. They
embrace the principal working mines
OF Tuolumne county. The union posted
up notices five weeks ago, similar to
the famous notices that were posted
throughout this county, stating that
all who failed to become members of
the union by specified date would be
regarded as scabs. Seven men failed
to send in applications for membership.
One was employed at the Jumper, two
at Santa Ysabel, and four at the App.
The union miners decided that they
would not work with them, and struck.
The strike means either of two things:
to force these men to join the union, or
force the mine owners to discharge
them. 1t is clear cut issue of all
union or all non-union employees. The
outcome will be awaited with much
interest. 1t is contest of vital i'm
portance as affecting not only the
mineral industry of the district par
ticularly concerned, but of the entire
mother lode region.

In Trouble at sheepranch,

Steve Cassella, who is said to be an
Amador City man, is incarcerated in
Jail at San Andreas for a murderous
assault upon miner named Jack Nor
ris at Sheepranch on Wednesday of
last week. Both men work in the
mine. They had quarrel some weeks
before, in which Cassella was worsted.
He resolved on revenge. AS Morris
was coming home from work on the
night shift on the morning in question,
he was met by Cassella, who struck
him twice over the head and once on
each arm with bar of iron, with
which he had armed himself for the
occasion. 1t was at first thought that
the skull was fractured. This FORUM
ately proved incorrect. CasseIla fled
after the occurrence and went to Stock
ton. He was arrested as he attempted
to leave the train on its arrival in that

Want Only One Union.

The Western Federation of Miners
is not at all pleased over the organiza-
tion of the engineers and other en-
ployes above ground in connection with
the mines of this county as labor un-
ion affiliated with American Federation
of Labor. There has been some feel
ing created thereby. The Western
Federation is anxious to get the engin-
eers and other top men to join their or
ganization. These men, who have
already identified themselves with the
new organization, are contented with
their lot, and manifest no disposition
to change front The friction, we are
told, has become quite acute at the
mines in Amador City district during
the past week. A representative of the
Western Federation acting under in
structions from headquarters, made an
effort to win them over to his
side. The engineers OF the Keystone,
Bunker Hill and Fremont we're waited
upon, and urged to join the Federation.
A letter from the secretary of the Den
yer headquarters was shown as author
ity for the move to bring them into the
orthodox camp. The engineers, how
ever, do not appear to take kindly to
the invitation. They were very en-
phatic in declaring their preference to
remain where they are. This latest
move has caused quite stir, and is
likely to lead to trouble if pressed to
extremes.
We learn that the engineers have
been given twenty-One days to join the
Western Federation. A failure to join,
as things now stand, means a refusal
to work with those adhering to the
American federation. Three weeks,
however, will afford ample time for re-
Election, and the sober second thought
to gain supremacy.

Popular Young People Wed.

On wednesday evening, July Sth,
Bon. n. Breese of Oakland and Miss
Elizabeth Mabel Wheeler we're mar
ried at the home of the BRIDES parents
on their farm two miles east of Ply-
mouth. Rev. S. H. Phillips performed
the ceremony in the presence of sixty
relatives and invited guests.
The sweet strains of Mendelshon's s
wedding march ushered the bride,
leaning upon the arm of her father,
into the spacious family sitting room,
where she was met by the groom. In
few we'll chosen words Rev. Phillips
pronounced them man and wife.
U. G. Spagnoli, lifelong friend of
the groom, and Miss Mamie Wheeler.
sister OF the bride, stood up with the
couple mutually and silently pledging
the hearts of the true friend and sister.
A lover of nature has said that 'ff a.
man is wise he is born and reared in
the country" 1t is equally true, "if a
woman is beautiful she is born and
reared in the country" This from a
friend tells it all: columns, describing
a beautiful dress. a pretty bride or a
handsome groom, would be unnecessary
and out of place.
Alter the ceremony was performed
all present sat down to a bountiful
wedding supper prepared by the brides
sisters, and an hour or more was spent
in good cheer amid mirth and joy. At
midnight Mr.. and Mrs. Breese took
their departure from the old home-
stead OF the bride. They were driven
to Latrobe, from which place the train
was taken for Lake Tahoe, where two
weeks honeymoon will be spent, after
which they will return to Oakland.
their future home. Many useful and
beautiful presents were received. It
could not be otherwise. True friends
are never forgotten.
Bonny Breese, as he is known bv
every man, woman and child in ANA
dor county, is the pride of our people.
and his conduct through life has de-
servingly earned the esteem in which
he is held. He is the oldest child and
the only son of the late RAYMOND
Breese, who died ten years ago while
serving as county clerk. His ability
and force OF character were recognized
by his fathers successor, C. L. Culbert,
the present county clerk. Although of |
opposite political views, Bon was given
clerkship in the Office and when he
reached his majority he was appointed
chief deputy, which position he has
since held. until year ago, when he |
resigned his office to accept a position |
as accountant in the Central Bank in |
Oakland, which place he now holds. |
and is as much a favorite with his |
employers and associates in Oakland |
as he wasinAmador county. During all |
these years Bon supported and cared |
Tor the loved ones dependent on him,
and educated his sisters as we'll, thus
enabling them to earn their own living
and assist in building up a home for
their mother. This duty faithfully
discharged another pleasant step in
lie is taken and prompts this pleasing
story of true and faithful son and
brother, and last but not least, low
ng husband.
The bride is one of Amador's popular
native daughters, and has been a sue
,essful teacher in our public schools.
She too has host of loving and ad-
nlring friends - the most enduring
recognition of amiability of character
Ind womanly ways.

a Commendable Act.

around town, special meeting oil
Jackson Miners Union was held Tues
day evening. The particular business
that called them together in special
session we are not prepared to state.
1t is common report on the street, how
ever, that one of the prominent sub
jects of discussion was the so-called
''scab" notices which were posted
around town about six weeks ago.
These notices have created a great deal
of adverse criticism. They have also
caused not little talk in the ranks of
the union members. There is large
and growing element in the camp
averse to such rabid measures. They
realize that the safe course to pursue
in advancing the interests of organized
labor is to show a conservative and
conciliatory spirit, recognizing the
right of any citizen to join or decline
to join their order as he may see fit.
and that too without in any way sac
rificing his right to earn living by
working in the mines. To try to bull
doze men into their organization by
threats of blacklisting, or labelling
them as ''scabs, or refusing to work
with them, and all such extreme steps,
was looked upon as unwise, and calcu-
lated to weaken the union by affixing
the seal of public condemnation. Hence
this wing endeavored to lead the local
order into paths of safety. With the
interests, not only of themselves, but
of the whole community at heart, they
desire to re-establish confidence among
mining investors by fair and liberal
policy. Some time ago, we are in
formed, an effort was made to have the
''scab" proclamation rescinded and the
notices taken down. 1t did not succeed
entirely, but the day of grace was ex-
tended for another month. This per-
iod of extension has not more that half
expired. Encouraged by their partial
success, these workers having the true
interests of labor at heart, pressed for
ward in the good work. At the meet
ing this week, we are told, a resolution
was passed to rescind the 'tscab" proc
lamation. On Wednesday morning
the printed notices, which have disfg-
ured the bulletin boards and number
of business premises in town, were re-
moved. They were taken down in the
same manner as they were posted up
by official action. The Ledger is al
ways willing to give credit for COM
mendable act. and we do not hesitate
to say that Jackson Union, by this
deliberate and well-timed proceeding,
has done much toward allaying that
in investment and bust
ness circles that has given such a
serious setback to the development of
our resources. Reason is again en-
throned. We have no doubt this spirit
will continue in the ascendant.
No harm can come of labor organi-
zation if properly conducted, with a
due regard for the interests of the out |
sider as we'll as the iusider. Indeed,
much benefit will accrue to its MEM
hers when so conducted. We hail this |
latest move of the local union, as a |
deliberate withdrawal from the path |
mapped out when flushed with the idea |
Of newly discovered power, and de-
to exercise it to the limit. |
In lieu thereof, the olive branch of |
peace is extended. With this feeling |
the unrest should disappear
and the mining industry hereabouts be
prosecuted with increased energy.
