ers are the poorest class Of laborers
in Goldield. Even unskilled labor
gets as much as the miners. whose
occupation is both labOriOus and
dangerous. They are entitled to more
money than they are receiving. On
the other hand the mine owners are
entitled to protection against roo

cannot reach the core Of the trouble.
Stolen ore may be apprehended but it
cannot as a rule be identified and rc-
covered by legal process. There is
no way possible to prevent high-grad-
ing other than the introduc-
ton of the change room and still do
not believe that this will be insisted
on. OF the hundreds of properties

have a jewelry store ore, and the

John P. Hopkins prominent min-

turned last night from Gofdfield and
his views of the miners troubles
there follows:
''The general impression seems 20
be among many Of the operators that,
owing to the abnormal condition that
exists in Goldfield, the miners Were
really were entitled to some increase
in pay, and there is very little doubt,
Iif the question had been left to the
,lessees, who at the present time ara
the largest employers of labor in the
camp, the new scale would have been
granted. | think the mine-owners
themselves think tnat some adjust
ment ought to be made.
"The miners, do not think. be
lieyed that a demand would be made
for compulsory change room. This
is the rock against which they have
run, not the wage rate 1t does not
seem reasonable to imagine that thai
matter will be allowed by either
party to prolong walk-out.
"The mass Of miners object to be
ing classed in body with Other
thieves because there are some high
graders in the camp. If some sol,1
ton can be arrived at easily that will
give the mines protection and at tn,
same time not brand the union as de
Tending 'high-grading.' the trouble
will so be over.

grant the increase. Both sides hay
