cesslons proposed by the mine owners

tabllshment of change room.

entire proposition, however, is found

mass meeting TO members Of the local
Union No. 220 Of the Western Fedora

union, which it calls the Mining De:
partment of Independent Workers of
the World The T. W w numbers
among its members all lahorers of
whatever class. When Goldfeld was
having her labor troubles last fall and
closed down every mine in the district.
Joseph Smith, the agent of the ]. w

is BY trade q dishwasher. The mine
owners clearly indicate that hence
forth they viii insist upon complete
divorce Of the minors union from the

Whether these terms will he ap-
proved by the miners seems doubtful.

definite action is expected before,
