With Mr.. Taft as the nominee of the

Judge Gray would have comparatively
easy sailing. The winning card for
Judge Gray Is believed to be his fine
line OF antitrust decisions and his
agreeable attitude toward the labor ell
ement of the country. because of his
splendid work as member of the An
thracite Coal Commission, which ter
minated the strike in the anthracite
region several years ago. On the 9TH

Taft has a record while member of
the judiciary of Ohio which would pre-.
judice the large labor vote against his
candidacy.

Marsh aIItown Man Tells Why the Fed

STaI troops IOdv0 0dIUSt 81 su0t
A letter from a former Marshall
town man gives a very clear idea Of
the peculiar situation at Goldfield,
which makes federal troops necessary
in order to operate the mines. He
tells how the people of that city were
in danger of having their town de-
stroyed because their peace officers
were standing with the strikers.
The letter reads:

on various pretexts, has kept every
body, both inside the camp and out
side. in constant anxiety and fear
Of trouble even after a settlement was
reached as experience had shown that
the settlement would not be for long.
During the present financial strin-
gency some of the mine companies
found it impossible to pay their miners
in cash. but offered the so-called
Script" being cashiers checks on the
local banks. The miners decided, tho
it is believed that referendum vote
on the matter was never had, that
they would not accept this payment,
altho it was accepted as cash even
by the railroad companies. They or
dered strike in consequence.
'The mine owners. in the meantime,
decided that if a strike was called they
would not again enter into a contract
with the union that had abrogated so
many previous contracts, but would
start when they did start again, on
some basis that would not leave them
subject ITO the caprice of their en-
ployes. Just what this basis will be

"In order to carry this out, with any
