LABOR SITUATION
BY A ONIS

1.-THE issue between the Industrial
Workers of the World, which is strongly
organized at Tonopah and Goldtield, and
the Typographical unions in the two
camps is a division over the matter of
labor unions d~issolving their own unions
for the purpose of unity with the l. W.
W." said Selig olcovich, delegate from
Goldfeld to the national convention of
the International Typographical Union,
which meets at Colorado Springs from
August 18th to 18th.
"The Industrial Workers of the
World sprung from the old American
Labor Union, which, in turn, grew out
of the old Western Labor Union, says
Mr.. Olcovich. ut is socialistic in its
teachings and contemplates the or
%ganization of all forms of labor is into
n immense body. When this ac-
complished 1t believes that it can
effectively control both the labor and
the political situation by making the
injury of one the concern of all.
"1nasmuch, however, as it does not
recognize the necessity of independ-
ence of action upon the part of in
dividual trades unions in many in
stances it does not meet with the an
proval of the existing individual unions.
which object to be called out on strikes
when remote trades, not concerning
them, are involved in some dispute.
1T is not an utilization of trades. Init
of individuals. It advocates the dis
solution OF the varied trades unions
and the concentration of the member
snip, within its own body. This idea is
combated by most of the unionists
although the Industrial Workers have
the moral support of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, from which it re-
ceives most of its encouragement.
Its principal strength lies in the
mining regions Of the country. having
but a small membership, compared to
the whole organized labor elsewhere.
Recently it declared strikes and
6oycotts against one of the papers at
Goldfield and another at Tonopah, but
the printers, who belong to the /. T.
u, declined to go out and have de-
nounced the action of the I. w. w.
leaders. Its boycott and strike is still
in effect. 1t has also declared strikes
and boycotts against several business
houses in Goldfield that have failed to
comply with its demands in Tonopah."

Closed Its Doors

The Tonopah restaurant closed it's
doors this week. The management, it
appears, refused to hang the card of
the /. w. w. in it's windows, was de-
clared unfair by that organization
and a boycott placed on the premises.
The proprietors of the place had been
contemplating closing anyway as the
business was not paying, so they
gathered up all the 'fufair' dodgers
they could find, stuck them up in their
own windows and closed the doors
against further business, as the matter
of only a few days made no difference
with them. Was this Victory" SO
easily gained a source Of satisfaction
or a disappointment? 1t reminds us
forcibly of the story of the avaricious
Saxon who vehemently exclaimed: "Hit
him agin key! Iasked him for twentv-
fife tollers und he paid it! Mine Colt
In himmel Wy didn't | ask him for more!

TROUBLE ON
AT GOLDFIELD
Rather Than be HarraSsed BY a
Long Controversy it Closes
Its Doors.

Trouble is again on in Goldfeld dooa.
Oh violence are rampant and more troubIo
seems to be emminent with every DAVIS
report from that locality. The newo

chants OF Tonopah, who have a branch
store in Goldtield have, it is reported
concluded to close out their extensive
business in that city and add it to the
Tonopah house, thus losing to Goldfeld
one OF the most reliable and enterpris.

to close its doors.
Just how far this trouble will be car

present time and what matter of bene-

MURDER IN TONOPAH
Two Men Murdered and Robbed While Sleeping
by Unknown Parties Sunday Morning

One of the most fiendish, brutal anC
cowardly murders aver accomplished il
the State of Nevada for the sake Of
plumber, was committed in Tonopah dur.
ing the early hours of last Sunday morn.
ing. 1t was the act of a devil incarnate
and is without parallel-two men while
peacefully sleeping in their humble
couches in the corral of the Headlight
stables near the railroad depot being
foully murdered and robbed! These two
u~nfortunates were Stewart Burnie, a
freighter who hauls principally beer and
ice from Tonopah to Manhattan, and
John keenan,.
The particulars of the horrible affair
as nearly as could be ascertained were
substantially as follows:
Burnie had been to Manhattan with a
load, delivered his freight, collected
the money from the patrons of the re-
spective companies for which he
was hauling, as was his usual GUS
tom, and started back for Tonopah, his
collections amounting to something in
the ~neighborhood of $500. Upon his re-
turn he took on two passengers-Leo
Swarta lad about twenty or twenty-one,
and another named Bennett.
1t appears that Burnie had had a
weakness for showing the money he
carried on his person daily or at least he
made no effort whatever to conceal the
fact as he should reasonably have done
from a standpoint of prudence. All
day long these men rode together and
whenever Burnie had occasion to re-
ceive money or make change, he drew
out his wallet, displaying all the money
he carried-a very tempting morsel for
those with evil designs.
Arriving at Tonopah, Swart asked
and was granted permission to sleep in
Burnie's wagon, while Burnie always
in the open air under his wagon.
Just before 6 o'clock Swart ran into
the Headlight stables and in an excited
manner told that Bernie was lying dead
bed under the wagon, having been
beaten to death sometime during the

aiming the gruesome find, another
man named John keenan, was discov-
cred groaning and tossing about in an
unconscious condition in his blankets in
4 wagon near by. His appearance at

Representative Sent East.

Richard S. Stockton, Secretary Of
the Tonopah Board of Trade, left last
Saturday for the East and will spend
about a month working in the interest
of Tonopah and the southern mining
country generally. The attention which
Tonopah and its tributary cities are at
the present time attracting in the East.
makes it imperative for some repre-
sentative person to appear and clinch
the favorable impression which is now
in the minds of Eastern people. Mr..
Stockton has taken along a supply Of
literature which will show to those at
a distance that the reports CLEANED
from this most favored locality are not
without foundation in fact and that
there can be no better locality for
capital seeking investment. He will
visit the various Boards of Trade on
his route East and will present to these
the great and substantial advantages
which we have to offer to their people
who may chose to invest, and that his
trip will be productive of good results
there be NO doubt.

Miner Killed

A timberman employed in the Bel
mont mine, named L. w. Parkinson.
fell from the 500-foot level to a bulk
head in the shaft of that mine, a
distance of 100 feet, last Monday after
noon and was killed. Parkinson it
appears was engaged in repairing the
skip and was standing on an improvised
platform stretched across the shaft.
Suddenly his support gave way and he
fell to the bulkhead as stated. His
body was terribly mangled when it was
brought to the surface. Justice Bris-
sell held an inquest, the jury returning
a verdict of accidental death.
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1906-08-11

later he was removed to the Miners
Union hospital.
That robbery was the motive for the
murders is clearly established by the
fact that Burnie's overalls had been
cut and the pockets turned inside out
and relieved of their contents. Probably
not more than fifty or sixty dollars
was secured as Burnie always turned
his collections into the office before re-
firing.
The young man Swart, when oues-
toned by Judge Brissell, said that he
knew nothing of the affair until he
turned out in the morning-that he
slept during the entire night without
hearing a sound. He admitted to
parties about the stable that his posi-
tion placed him in a suspicious light
but that he was entirely innocent.
On being closely questioned concern
ing his relations with Bennett, his COM
panion of the previous days journey,
he admitted that he had since seen
him but that he had mentioned to him
nothing concerning the murder. When
hard pressed upon the evident falcity
OF this statement, he finally broke down
and admitted that he had seen Bennett.
but that the latter had charged him
not to mention his name IN connection
with the affair as he intended to leave
on the train and did not want to be de-
tanned or otherwise mixed up in the
matter. AS the young mans state
ment on the whole bore the ear-marks
to some extent, of inconsistency and
suspicion, he was lodged in Jail to await
acknowledgements kilograms were
at once sent along the line for the an
prehension and arrest of Bennett. The
remains of Burnie were taken in
charge by Judge Brissell and an in
quest held on Monday, the jury return
ing a verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased came to his death from a blow
with a blunt instrument in the hands
Of some person or persons to the jury
unknown, and recommended that the
officers of the law put forth every
effort looking to the arrest and convic-
ton of the guilty ones.
Keenan,, without regaining conscious
ness, died last Monday at 3:45, and the
remains were taken in charge by the
local aerie of Eagles. The deceased
was a member in good standing in that
order at Delamar, where he formerly
lived. The funerrl took place Wednes-
day and the remains were inferred here
under the auspices Of Tonopah Aerie
No. 27l, F. o. E.
The remains of Burnie were also in
here on the same day.
Sheriff Mcmahon has offered a per-
sonal reward of $500 for the apprehen-
sion of the murderer, Governor Sparks
mas offered, on behalf of the State, $500
and the citizens of Tonopah subscribed
to a list amounting to $1,000.
