BOISE, May 22.-They have
been no kid glove affairs-these
troubles between capital and labor
in the gold and silver mining re-
gions. which have eliminated in the
great Haywood murder trial.
Partisans of both sides tell thrill
ing stories in the hotel corridors
here of events which have occurred
since the war began between mine
owners and the Western Fedora
ton.
Two principal historical occur
rences rankle deepest in the union
mems minds. The first Is the bull
pen affair" in the Occur d'Alenes in
Idaho, when 1000 miners were
thrown into a filthy stockade and
held prisoners for months with reg
ular army soldiers as their guards.
The other was the Colorado depor-
tation system, which the citizens
alliance engineered, when hundreds
of men were placed aboard special
trains, taken to the state line and
dumped in the wilderness.

gave me description of the man
ner in which not only miners, but
business men who sympathibed
with them, were run out of the
Cripple Creek district in Colorado.
In many cases men were separated
from their families and left along
the tracks In Kansas without
money or food.
"You see, both sides have black
list" he explained "The Mine
Owners association will not let a
union man live where 1t controls,
and In regions where he have some
thing to say. we keep in mind those
who have bounded us. Most OF the
men who were run out OF Colorado
went to the Nevada fields, which
were just being developed. They

TWO BIG DIVES
HARD HIT

Another reform was inaugurated
last night by the new city admin
istration. No liquor of any sort
was sold by the inmates OF the no
torious Main and Yale blocks, by
orders of Chief of Police Rice. The
edict practically killed the extern
sive liquor business carried on In
the past by the inmates Of the re
sorts. Frank Bruno, proprietor or
the Main block, said today that it
might necessitate his closing his
place altogether. Anticipating a
further reform measure, he will
voluntarily tonight close the front
entrances to the block. He says
the closing of the front doors Will
make no difference as the patronage
has fallen off considerably under
the new administration.
Bruno is frightened at the reform
measures. He did not expect action
so soon after Mayor Moore had
taken office.
