GOLDFIELD, New, June The
Industrial Association of Nevada has
been organized in Goldfeld
1t will spread TO every city OF con
sequence in the State
The prime object is to combat the
baneful effect Of the Industrial Workers
OF the World and any other band OF
men whose teachings are reasonable
and whose dealings defeat the upbuild~
ing of the State.
The immediate cause for its organiza.
tlon is the activity being displayed by
the remnant of the L. W w, more
especially since the release under bonds
Of the arch-agitator Vincent ST. John,
and mis- six confederatcs. charged as
conspirators
These men and others, who have
cursed the American flag, are quietly
working for more trouble, and it is not
unlikely that the labor war Of the year
will be on within ten days.
May Use Non Union Labor.
c. o. Whittemore of tie Salt Lake
road, building from Rhyolite to Gold
field, states that he intends TO extend
the line into Gold6eld with non-union
labor if necessary, and that he Will
have the backing Of every mine owner
and decent merchant of Goldfeld in re-
sisting the intimidation of the Indus
trial Workers, who have attempted TO
force his men to affiliate with the
Western Federation of Miners. St
John s men have demanded that the
bartendcrs. cooks and walters, who in
n body deserted the L w, W. and joined
the American Federation OF Labor,
come back into the Socialists fold.
1t is really the insecure feeling fol-
lowing the last patched-up settlement
that has caused the slump IN stocks and
the lack of confidence among outside IN
vestors nnd spectators. This time Gold
t!eld is in no mood for temporzing
with the evil. and a real vigilance com
mittee has been organized. whose ann
will be peace cven at the cost of war,
Ii is believed that If the miners stand
with the Industrial Workers the result
will be the open shop.

1t is generally deplored IN Golchclh
that the court, with the sanction OF nc
