Especial TO The HeraldD

Bingham Junction. May 1S.-It is re-
ported here tonight, apparently on ex-
oellent authority, that the company and
the men have reached a common
ground upon which both may stand
with honor and attempt to settle the
fdfferences bstween them. It is said
here that Harry ]. Robinson of Bing-
ham Canyon. member of the legislature.
has caused to be arranged a basis for
possible agreement. The arrangement
* that the company name three per-
sons, the men on walkout name three
and the seventh by them to be chosen.
The likelihood, as a natural conse-
Quence, it is said here. would be that
Mr.. Robinson would be the seventh
member. -aa --e
At Bingham Junction yesterday. Mr.
Heintz, the authorized agent of the
United States company, said that ap-
IroXimately 275 men went to work. Mr.
Heintz said he did not known accurate
1y what sort of labor this was, further
than the men were employed in the lead
plant. The copper works, said Mr..
HeintZ. were not yet ready to be start
ed. kIr. Heintz did not know, accord
ing to his own statement, whether this
number of men was at work yet; but if
1t were not, Mr.. Heintz believed it

so far as we can see,' said Mr.
Heintz, everything is quiet. We be-
lieve that the most of our men want to
20 back to work"
Willing They Should Return.
Certainly" said a member of the
general committee of the men who
walked out, certainly, let the men re-
turn to work If they want to. We un-
dRrSf1nd that a faxu of ter
have gone into the cOmpany's plant
Why shouldn't they? They are getting
what they ask for. we have not asked
them to come out-but, I'll tell you one
thing, the carpenters viii come out if
we ask them to. But what are they
going TO carpenter? We do not care
what the Greeks do. II they are IN
loading cars, they are costing the com
pany-the smelling company and the
railroad cOmpany-more money than
they are worth. They can't unload cars
its beyond their intellectual capacity
and beyond their physical ability We
are willing that the company should
gather together tons and tons of ore
We know that the company in the past
has been short of ore, as measured by
Emelter capacity; the more ore that is
collected at the Bingham Junction
plant the more ore there will be to
Smelt
u No man who goes into the plant to
work will be molested-the man who
Eoes into the works is as safe as he is
at home. But there are differences in
the classes of labor, and it would take
a column, maybe two columns, in your
paper to tell tit doesn't matter. Our
men are peaceabie end are under strict
orders to let every other person do as
he pleases. We are willing to meet the
company half way"
The Quietest of Strikes.
The situation at Bingham Junction is
in the hands of Deputy Sheriffs Ander-
son and Beckstead. Last night both of
these officers reported conditions as be-
ing "distressingly' quiet. wen have
TO start something ourselves, If we don't
watch out so that you newspaper men
can have something to write about, IS
was the report.
