ASK FOR A DISSOLUTION

Goldfield, New, December 25-To carry the fight into the federal court will be the next move of the Goldheld Mine Owners association. Tomorrow a suit will be filed in the circuit court of the District of Nevada, asking not only for an injunction against picketing and interfer- ing with miners or mining operations, but for the final dissolution of the Gold field Miners union.
 The suit is to be filed by the Goldfeld Consolidated Mine Owners association against the Goldfeld Miners union, the Western Federation of Miners, Charles A. MaeKinnon, president of the local union, and other officers of the same organization. The complaint sets forth the alleged vast extent and richness of the mining interests involved and the large number of persons holding shares in the mines in various states: alleges that the Goldfield Miners union and the Western Federation of Miners are unncorporated, and that 1t is claimed to be a part of another larger organization, known as the Industrial Workers of the World, also unincorporated, which has the same principles and seeks to accom- plish its results by the same alleged un-. lawful methods and has in its ranks as members of these associations not only the miners of the Goidheld district but other laborers, such as walters, clerks, cooks, barbers and barkepers. It is fur ther alleged that the Western Federation of Miners Is organized for the destruction of property and creating :'endless strike, disorder, bloodshed and rioting.'
 "The Goldfeld union is charged in the bill with intimidation, and of being guilty of wanton destruction of property. mur- der of innocent citizens, lawlessness and anarchy to such an extent that it has in- stituted a reign of terror in the Gold field district
 It is further alleged that the Goldfeld union Is criminal society" The court is asked to cite the defendants before 1t to answer the allegations of the com plainant, and to issue an order of in- junction lrestraiaing the miners from ob- structlng the business of the consoli- dated Mines company, by threat, intm- idation or plcketing. An injunction against boycott Is further asked. The court Is asked to enjoin the Goldfeld union from holding any more meetings. Watchers or Examiners are asked for full authority to enter upon the property of the complainant, and to carry out the orders of the court, and to arrest any person violating them. Finally 1t is peti- toned that the injunction be made perma nent. and the Goldfield Miners union be abated and forever dissolved as nuis- anoe and perpetually enjoined from any further meetings action of whatever kind or nature The complaint is signed by George Wingfeld vice president of the Consolidated Mines company.
 One effect of the filing of this, 1t is said. may be to induce President Roosevelt to order a portion of the troops now In Goldfeld to remain on the ground to assist in the enforcement of the man dates of the federal court, if necessary.
