GOLDGELD AN OPEN CAMP

It Is not likely that the bull pen will
 be introduced at Goldfeld. The labor situation over there is peculiar. It Is DO, a united front the labor element presents to the employing power and hence lacks strength. More than that the public is not in sympathy with the men. Constant agitation oa their part has brought disaster to the whole com munity. That the rank aud file of the miners have been the victims of direct betrayal on the part of their leaders is believed by the miners themselves. This feeling has split up the member ship of the union, and the friction has grown so bitter as to have developed the drawing of weapons on the open highway a short time ago, as a result of which St. John, the socialistic lead CT, is still in the hospital, placed there

by the leader of the conBervatlves-it @ man with so ready gun may be so. called, St, John Is directly and bitter ly charged, in and out of the miners' hall, with an attempt to disrupt the union. The conservatives have de- o'ared that unless the word given be- tween the union and the operators Is kept by the miners it would result in an open camp.
 At the conclusion of peace terms oD the occasion of the last strike a wage scale was agreed upon that is above that of any other camp in the country not excepting Tonopah, the mother of GOldReld, and just thirty miles away. It was directly agreed that this sca'e would hold for two years. The camp was reduced to script basis in comaOn with the great part of the whole country; the script was accepted by merchants, hotels, restaurants and the entire business community as sn unavoidable epergency measure, but the agitators in the union iomented an opposition to it's acceptance and a strike vas declared. That the majority now regret the step is seen in the declared readiness to return to work, But 1t IS too late, tbe troops have been called in, che operators have declared a reduction ot wages and refuse to recognize the union. This, of course, precipitates 9 death struggle upon the union and will force many back under the leadership of the radicals who would have been willing to toreswear them. On the other hand, however, it will strike a blow at unionism itself and cause some who would have liked 10 be faithful to renOuuce it altogether and join the ranks of the strikebreakers. The trOu. 5le with the conservative element Is that it has been short on leaders brave enough to lead. The strongest man in the union, himself radical, deserted the camp and his following after the mur- der, which was an incident of the long strike ot last winter. He has been in hiding ever since.
 It is such record of force and uu faithfulutss that has brought about the present conditions and which will leave the union too greatly weakened to

that would not be expected from any other section of tbe country, If the committee gave any thought to Alaska at all while engaged in cutting down
 her representation it would have noted this but the chances are the members of the committee d not know there is au interior Alaska but look upon the
 great district as limited to the area
 usually covered by the summer tourist. Southeastern Alaska will not be made any happier by the unlntendei aattery of this view. But 1t gives barely possible hint of the working of the mind that limited the district to two representatives. Alaska as a whole is entitled to six representatives and the election of those representatives at a time of the year when it Is alone pos siole to do the thing fairly should stand. The matter will be carried be- fore the convention ia committee of the whole and, as stated in the dis patches today, will be settled there no doubt on principles of right and justice when the conditions here are brought to the full understanding of that body.

Miserable Compensation For Their
 Grand Works of Art.
 'I make more money in q day than Michael Angelo made in month" said a popular illustrator i've been studying up the wages those old chaps got. It is amazing.
 Michael Angelo was paid $40 month while doing the cartoons of the battle of Pisa, and Leonardo, who helped him, got the same rate. They were both docked for lateness and off days, but there was no overtime allow ance. Correggio got for his Christ In the Garden S725. Carracci's Resur- rectlon' only brought the painter $6.5O.

The wires advise us that the Post Intelligencer, was yesterday engaged in warning the two wings Of the Repub- lteau party In thIS district to get to- gether and pull for home rule. It is not likely there will be any opposition to home rule in any wing of the Repub- lican party after this date. Governor Hoggatt who leads the antis on this subject, declared openly that President Roosevelt would not recommend home rule in hts message and asked all com CTS to paste the prophecy iu their hats. Those who took this tip had the paper at hand when the message was read to note how far the prophecy differed from the fact. The president and the governor do not agree on this subject but the people of Alaska are with the president and there will Oe but few antis foolish enough to make fight against a combination like that.
