MINE OWNERS TALK
ASSOCIATION EXPLAINS CAUSES
OF LABOR DISTURBANCES.
IS NOT A CITIZENS ALLIANCE PARTY
No Change in Hours or Wages, but
LaWIessness and Oppression Must
Cease, They Claim.

Goldfeld, Nev.-The following an
nouncement has been issued here by
the executive committee of the Gold
field Business Men and Mine Owners
Association:
The Goldfield Business Men and
Mine Owners association desires to
make an announcement of the present
labor difference in Goldtield. For the
past three years the camp has had a
series of labor troubles that have had
organization known as the Industrial
Workers of the World. This body of
men have not only done these things.
but have maintained a reign of terror
in the camp, SO far as laboring men
ard business are concerned. The bust
ess men and mine owners have de-
termined that this condition of affairs
must be ended. A mass meeting was
called and the Goldfield Business Men
and Mine Owners association was
formed.
1T is not, never was, and does not
propose to be a Citizens Alliance, or
a mine owners and operators asso-
citation of the pattern of the Cripple
Greek district Mine Owners and OPP
orators association.
1T is simply a union of the business
men and mine owners of Goldfield to
preserve their camp and protect life
and property. There is to be no
change in hours and wages. The set
tiement of wages made in January IS
satisfactory to all concerned. But law
lessness and oppression must cease.
The Industrial Workers of the World,
as the representative of lawlessness,
must leave the district. That is the
only issue and all that is involved.
Labor unions are not to be warred
against or to be encouraged. All that
is demanded is that they must be labor
unions not under the control of or as.

PROBE LAND FRAUD
ASSISTANT ATTORNEYS GENERAL
APPOINTED TO TASK.
JUDGE BURcH IN CHARGE OF THEM
Many Attorneys Prominent in the
West Are Given a Place On
the Corps.

Denver, Col.-Owing to the increas.
ing Importance and volume of business
of the west, the department Of justice
has practically organized a corps of
special assistant attorneys general for
the work of investigating coal, tim
Der and other land frauds and Of
lenses west of the Missouri river,
placing Special Assistant Attorney
General NJ. c. Burch in supervisory
charge of them. Judge Burch has
been in Denver for some time past,
quietly organizing present and future
operations. Under his supervision a
strong force of special assistant special
attorneys have been employed. Among
these are S. r. Bush, of Omaha; Err
nest Knaebel, Of Denver; F. A. May.
nard, of Salt Lake; E. H. Tong, Du-
range and II. H. Schwartz, of Helena,
Mont. While one of these men are
specially located at the point named,
matters are so arranged that any of
them may be called to any point need
ing their attention.
Although Judge Burch has not set
tied on any location, it is probable
that the major part of his time for the
immediate future will be spent in Den
yer and that this place will be in
effect headquarters for the western
operation of the department of justice
attorneys and special attorneys.

BIG FIRE AT HUTCHINSON, kAs.
Morton Salt Works Destroyed-Losa
May Reach 100000.

Hutchinson, Kas.-The Morton salt
block, the largest in the world, owned
chiefly by Joy Morton and Paul Nor,
ton, former secretary of the navy, was
destroyed by fire. The loss embraced
a new $25O,000 addition to the plant
and a vast quantity of refinel salt and
may reach $500, 900.
The fire started from the explosion
of a coal oil lamp. Crude oil was
burned in the furnace and in some
way the fire was quickly communicat.
ed from the boiler room to other parts
of the building. A strong southwest
wind famed the flames and caused
them to spread rapidly. In a faw days
the new quarter of a million dollar ad
dition to the plant would have begun
the manufacture of salt by a new pro
cess known as the vacuum process and
reputed to be much more economical
than the old. A battery of eight OF
the largest oil burners ever construct
ed had been installed for the opera
ton of this part of the plant. These
with much ether costly machinery, is
a mass of twisted iron.

FIFTY MEN TO RESCUE.
Burlington Sends Help to Citizens of
~Hemingford.

Hemingford, Neb.-A prairie fire,
which at one time threatened the
city and spread itself over a
stretch of country Is miles in length
and about three-fourths of a mile
wide, occurred recently.
The fire originated at the ranch of
F. Nixon, who lives 1872 miles north
west of this town, from the burning
of an old straw stack and continued
on its journey, doing damage to the
intervening ranchmen and terminated
three miles and a half southwest of
here, when the furious gale that had
been blowing all day had subsidized.
In the afternoon the Burlington sent
fifty men from its shops at Alliance to
help the citizens of Hemingford fight
the fire. A fortunate change of the
wind saved the town. Loss to ranch
men in buildings and other property
will aggregate many thousands of dol
lars.

SOLDIERS Salaries
CHIEF JUSTICE HANDS DOWN AN
OPINION RELATING THERETO.
SOLDIERS OF RANK ONLY AFFECTED
Claim of Don c. Mitchell Is Decided
against Him by United States
Supreme Court.

Washington, D. C.-Some OF the
questions pertaining to the subject
Of extra pay for officers of the
army during wal were considered by
the supreme court of the United States
in ~disposing of the case of United
States VS.. Don c. Mitchell, which was
decided in favor of the United States
in an opinion handed down by Chief
Justice Fuller. The particular point
involved was that relating to extra
pay for duty in higher rank in time
OF war, but not actually in the pres
ence of the enemy. Mitchell entered
the army during the wal with Spain
as second lieutenant of Troop E of the
First Ohio volunteer cavalry, and
while stationed at Huntsville, Ala, in
August, 1898, was designated by an
order from Capt. Rogers, ~regimental
quartermaster of the First Ohio, to
take command of the troop. He con-
tinued to perform the duties of that
command until the following October.
He then made claim to the pay of a
captain under the act of April, 1898,
providing that in time of war every
officer serving with troops operating
against the enemy, who shall exercise,
under assignment in orders, issued by
competent authority, a command above
that pertaining to his grade, shall be
entitled to receive the pay and allow
ances of the grade appropriated to
the command so exercised, and also
for pay for the extra month allowed
at the rale paid a captain. The court
of claims decided in Mitchell's favor,
holding that he was entitled to a cap
tain's rate, but Chief Justice Fuller's
opinion reversed that ruling and held
that he should receive only the pay Of
a second lieutenant.
