separated themselves from the l. w
w. and will let no town labor trouble
interfere with the working of the
mines. Under the old regime the mi
ners could be called on to help in
any local strike or boycott against
any local concern that might be OBJ
iectionable to the Industrial Workers
of the World. The same hours and
wages as maintained before remain
In effect as promised by the mine
owners at the outset of the trouble
and the miners sign up an agreement
for two years, which is another de-
mand of the mine owners.
Goldfield Rcjoices.,
There is great rejoicing in Gold
field tonight over the final settlement
of the lock out. Mine owners and mi
ners alike are celebrating and the ut
most good feeling is noticed on all
sides
The two committees wound up la
Dor last night with a fine midnight
dinner and the utmost cordially
characterized the final action which
put the camp in full blast again
Saturday the active committees of
both the mine owners and the min
ers organization were In session all
evening and late into the night The
terms of settlement were finally fix
ed up and signed by both commit
tees to be submitted to the meeting
of the miners for ratification. This
morning a notice was posted upon the
hulleting board In front of the Min
trs Union nall announcing q mass
meeting of miners at the base ball
park at p. m. today. At that hour
fully 1900 miners assembled. The
Industrial Workers of the World
were excluded. The tentative agree
ment was read to the crowd. Each
member of the committee explained
Its provisions. A score of miners
spoke In favor of adopting the terms
of settlement. Vincent St. John and
two or three others of the radical ell
ement unsurcesfully tried to stem the
tide advocating that the terms be re-
ieCted. A division was called for. III
those favoring the terms of settle
ment went to one Side. and those oi-
posing to the other. Fully three
fourths of the vast assembly moved
To the side favoring settlement ana
the result was greeted with great ai'-
plause and demonstrations of JOY
