imply that the miners employed are generally dshon
and their selection from the great men applying
for work is sufficient evidence that the company
them trustworthy. 1t is important however that the
change should be designed conducted that It
VIII give the company protection against the occasional
number of men the payrolls.
There particular difference between the form of
expression in Clause the committees ultimatum and
the clause bearing upon the subject the proposition
submitted to the union.
''Clause g. however contains the essential source
OF trouble and involves questions much than
orally realized It is imperative that the miners Of Gold
field and the residents of the community be fully
as to its meaning 1t is safe that per
the miners of the district understand the the ut
mau delivered by the union committee enaec-
ment of the Consolidated the which
may ensue from it. If it conceded by the company
and enforced would prevent the operation of Con-
solidated mines and conceded by the Consolidated it
would inevitably be Immediately demanded Of all other
operators in the district 1t unfair the miners of
Goldfed that the real issue should be couded by the
serton that the controversy is entirely directed the
change question: and that any faction Of the Union
officers by such Such tactics are very serious
nature when employed in such the
thriving and growing community such as this is and en-
danger entire state
HThe demand that the local union of Western Fedora
ton Of Miners shall have jurisdiction all working
in and around the mines mills irrespective of their
time OF employment or nature OF work. except managers
and supernendents is directly at variance with the
ment reached in March, when it distinctly understood
that it necessary for the mine operators of the district
to employ carpenters Of other organizations accomplish
great amount of building and construction

cannot be obtained from the ranks of the W. f. of NJ
eral committees of the Miners union in
the operator committee of the district
only this fact but also the equally essential point the
point of view of the operators that watchmen employed
protection of the companies must be neutral and in fact
several committees have stated that such
sired members of their organization This did
that the operators should not be at liberty employ
bers of the Western Federation Of Miners
merely that they required to do but should be
at liberty to employ whom they might choose who
could combine the proper of their property with
treatment of employees whom they had supervision
Electricians who particularly essential to the operation
of large mines in this district where electric is the
only motive force available have organization of their
and resouely refuse to break their affiliations
should they be required to do The erection Of the
large plants of machinery which have already been ordered
by the Consolidated and will be in the of in
staation will also require the services Of skilled workmen
belonging to other organizations and temporarily employed
These also occupy the position with reference to the
Western Federation do the electricians and must be
treated the same basis
In other words the Sd clause of the utmatum of the
union which has by been invegled into the
between the Consolidated and the union is
only apparently intended deude the entire union, but
seriously threatens to parayze the industry of
Goldfeld and the state of Nevada. -
