Some new business and much old
business came up for consideration
yesterday afternoon In the meeting
OF the city council and in spite Of
rapid disposal OF measures there was
plenty left for another meeting,
Agent T. ]. White Of the Denver

ton of alarms or safeguards for the
railroad crossings. city Attorney
Gee stated that in accordance with
the order of the council he had Wis
tied the men in authority Of all three
roads here and consulted them on
the alarm question. In every case
they had stated that 1t was unusual
so far as they were concerned. Mr..
White said that the danger could be
obviated by making an ordinance re-
curing trainmen to 60 ahead Of the
train and flag at the street crossings
In switching, and he said further
that the placing Of lights near the
crossings would increase the danger.
After considerable discussion, the
council adopted motion requiring
the placing of automatic headgates
with gongs at Polk, Taylor and Blu
chanan streets and of additional
lights near the crossings
Better Fire Alarm Service.
Manager Benedict, OF the Western
Union Telegraph office here, then
presented proposition for equipping
teh city with an automatic fire

attention to the fact that such SER
vice materially reduced insurance
rates and wonderfully increased the
efficiency Of tho fire department.

service will VISIT, Mr.. Benedict stated,
the city in the near future. The
council voted to wait until the COM
ing of the expert when the propo-
sition would be definitely considered.

START WITH noN-UN'oN MEN
Owners VIII Open Up oo'dfis'd Mines
Wsdnesday.

| Goldfield, Dec. Nv eonesoay
has been definitely decided upon az
the day for reopening the minss In
Goldfield.
An authoritative statement was
made tonight that already sufficient
men are on the ground to work the
mines. The total number OF those
| that have been quietly Drougnl III
and those who have secretly mace
application to return to their former
positions is placed at 1000. There
are about 1900 Western Federas' on
men out. The men who are 10 take
the places OF the strikers are NOT 70
be housed at the mines, but VIII Dc
scattered through the camp and pro-
tected, for each individual will Dc
guaranteed protection by the Nine
owners Association.
Two propositions have been posi-
lively decided upon, the making Oh
an open camp for all time and the
early lowering OF the wage scale. At
the same time the Mineowners' AS
ISOLATION is going to begin vigor-
GUS crusade to lower the cost OF liv-
ing In Goldfield.
Denver, Dec. 10.-The executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners tonight issued the following
statement concerning the present
controversy between the Goldfield
Mineowners' Association and the
GoIdfield Miners Union:
ION December 6, President Roose-
velt issued a proclamation ordering
federal troops to proceed to Gold
field, New, ostensibly for the pur-
pose OF protecting life and property
That there was ever any danger to
either person or property Is empha-
tically denied by the officers of Es-
meralda county, and by the mer-
chants and citizens OF Goldfield. The
only reason for the present trouble |
was the decision of the mine opera |
tors to force upon the miners scrip |
that would not be taken at par by |
the railroad company, the Wells |
Fargo Express Company, the post
Office, the stores or the boarding
houses. Neither would the mineown-
ers guarantee that they would re-
deem this scrip at any time In the |
future.
I'm refusing to accept this worth
less scrip In exchange for their hard |
labor, the miners OF Goldfield are
taking manly stand against the
of governmental func-
lions by unreliable banking firms,
which assume the right to set aside
The legal money of the nation.
I'VE desire to call the attention of
he American people to the awful
disaster at Monongah, w. Va, where
500 coal miners were murdered by
he capitalist system In its greed for
profits. Had President Roosevelt
been as anxious to enforce the laws
n West Virginia, had he considered
is well the protection of the lives of
hose miners by demanding that the
nineowners safeguard their en-
'loyes against unnecessary dangers.
ls he is to send the regular army to |,
rush an organization whose only
I'm Is to better the conditions and
make happier the lives of the work.
ng class, 500 blackened corpseg
you'd not today be laid upon the
.ltar of greed at Monongah, w. Va. k
