BINGHAM STRIKE STILL ON.
Graders Insist on $3.50 and Con-
tractors Won't Pay 1t.
Especial to The Herald.O

Bingham, June 14.-With both sides OBJ
durate, the strike situation remains IN
changed. Most of the day was spent in
paying off the striking Italians. The con-
tractors while perfectly willing to COM
promise and give what the laborers de-
mand, absolutely refuse to grant the ten
hour day with $3.50 pay The Italians are
determined to get their increase or not
work and everything would indicate that
they will stick by their determination The
work on the grading is put back just that
much, and, as the job must be hurried
along. it is thought that something will
be done The men will either receive what
they are asking or new labOrers viii be
brought here to take their places.
While the miners were enjoying them
selves at the Salt Palace yesterday the
Greeks and Italians had a Qualification in
camp. and as a result seventeen were
locked up in the Jail. AS soon as they
were placed in jail they engaged in a free
fOr-aIl and It probably would have re-
suited seriously had not Deputy Sheriffs
Sharp and Berry interviewed and separated
the fighters. This afternoon they were
tried before Justice of the Peace Lee. but
no fine or sentence was imposed until all
Of the miscreants can be rounded Up.
