SILVER KING HAS
NEVER BEEN UNFAIR
Always Paid Higher Wage Scale
Than Other Mines in
Utah.
TROUBLE AT PARK NOT
CHARGEARLE TO THE KING
What Senator Kearns and Pres
ident Keith Have to Say
Abcut Matter.

In its report Of tine wage question
that has been agitating some of the
mine-worlsers at Park City for several
days, A local newspaper has attempted
TO convey the idea that the Silver King
has been unfair. IN that il has declined
TO loin with other companies in q re-
adjustment
1t is we'll known fact that the men
employed at the Silver King mine
have always been paid a higher wage
scale than have those in other mines
in the Park, and although several of
the other companies have raised the
wages of their men twice within the
last few years, they do not yet pay
the Silver King scale in some instances.
1.-The trouble at Park City cannot
possibly be fairly charged TO the policy
of the Silver King company said
former Senator Kearns yesterday.
''Thus far no committee of our en-
ployees have called on the officers of
adjustment We shall be pleased at
any time to take up the question of a
new scale with a committee of our
regular employees. aud. as in the past.
there Will be nothing but the friend
liest spirit shown by the company.
"What Silver King employees
should strive for and insist on is a
uniform scale for the entire camp, TO
apply TO both mills and to the mines.
Anything short of this will breed strife
and work injustice to the operators
and to the employees. During the
past ten years the Silver King has
maintained the highest scale in the
State. Even this was effective through
the long stretch of hard times We have
paid TO our men, in excess Of the wages
paid by other companies III the camp
fA, hn Ii nf
than quarter of million of dol
lars. We have always made it a
point to give the preference to en-
ployees with families, and have always
paid our men top notch prices, the
highest in the State
"Silver King has never required
its laborers to work under ground
been fixed policy to give all of It's
laborers a chance to become skilled
workmen. Many of the best miners in
the State owe their success today to
the policy in force at the Silver
King"
When his attention was called to the
assertion that the Silver King was not
dealing fairly in the matter of a wage
scale for the mine workers of Park
City. President David Keith said:
cit is such a well known fact that
Silver King has always paid the
highest scale in the camp and in the
State, as well, that I do not believe
any miner will indorse any sentiment
calculated to lead the public to believe
that we are in any sense unfair. There
should be concerted movement on the
part of the mine and mill workers of
Park City TO secure n uniform scale.
When this is done Silver King will
paw the scale. whatever il may be
agreed upon. Men doing particular
work should be paid a particular scale.
and this scale should apply to the Gu
tire camp"
