LOCKOUT MATTER IN HANDS OF
SPECIAL COMMITTEE.
Special to The Herald

Goldield, New, March 27.-By the ac-
tion Of last nights meeting of the I.
w w the labor situation here is no
nearer solution than the day the
trouble began. The meeting of the
miners called for last evening. which
was supposed to have been independent
o. the l. w ". was no different from
any regular !. W. w. meeting. In fact.
50 fearful were the leaders of the ex-
tretnlSts that the miners would take
independent action that early i'm the
AFTERNOON hundreds of men that had
never been in a mine were admitted to
the hall. and miners, who are really in
tie majority and wish to assert their
American citizenship and return to
work. were kept out of the meeting
place by lack of room.
Inc camp = again greatly depressed
today. and commingIed with the SYM
PATTY expressed for the conservative
element among the miners is a feeling
almost of admiration for the ten or
twenty men who are holding 1900
American citizens at bay and laughing
while they do it.
Some say the trouble will be settled

ern Federation Of Miners. and others.
more impatient, declare Goldfield will
not wait for "A decision from such

miners to meet IN general convention.
it is believed that the convention will
also be packed. and if the importation
of men is res0rtCd TO the situation will
cul;ninate in serious clash.
Most of the miners meeting was
taken up by remarks of Vincent ST.
John and F. c. Mahoney. and after
hours of wrangling il was decided to
refer the entire matter Of the lockout t.
a special committee. Every motion
that did not meet the approval Of St.
John and his followers was hooted in
an instant.
The prearranged program to defeat by
any means moderation or arbitration
was carried out, while the miners stood

of the meeting is that the local union
