 Union. ''
 That the whole Goldfield incident
 including the circumstances of the
 socalled strike, the coming of the troopes, the lowering of the wage scale, and the importation of strike break CTS was preconcerted plot on the part of the mine owners, has always been l the contention of the union men. That contention is supported by the conclusions of the commissioners where their report says:
 "The action of the mine operators warrants the belief that they had de- termined upon reduction in the wages and the refusal of employment to members of the Western Federatin ot Miners, but that they feared to take this course of action unless they had the protection of Federal troops, and that they accordingly laid plan to secure such troops and then put their program into effect
 1 The labor commissioners reported to the President that the only specific case of lawlessness on the part of the union miners, viz. --the alleged use of dynamite to blow up the line poles of a power company, as cited by the mine owners ''was surrounded by such circumstances as to raise a reas- olable doubt as to the genuineness of the charge that the members of the union were responsible. ' The com missioners however, did not conclude their report without taking fling at the union. In order that the work ingnian may not become liable to the charge of .suppressing anything de- trimental to the miners side of this controversy, and in order, particu- larly that this paper may not descend to :the methos of themine owners and their reptile press, the conclu sion of the commissioners are here printed:

 "In view of the foregoing facts, we believe that here is feeling that ser ious disorders will be attempted if the troops be withdrawn and the mine operators insist on carrying out their policy. But if a handful of men have controlled the Goldfield Miners Union and committed the organiz- ation to indefensible policies and practices, it is no reason why the county of Esmeralda and the State of Nevada should tamely submit to the domination of this same group and should not assert it's authority and enforce respect for law and order with out support of Federal troops.'' y
 The President in his letter to the Governor, expresses his endorse ment and approval of the commission CTS report in this wise:
 1 ''agree with the recommendation of this report, of which I enclose a copy , and shall act accord ingIy. Un- less it can be shown that the state ments of the report are not in accord ance with the facts, it will be incum bent upon the Legislature of Nevada, when it convenes, itself to provide for enforc ement of the laws of the state The State of Nevada must make a res olute effort in good faith to perform the police duties incident to the exis tence of State. ''
 The President, also, is not blind to the fact that the mine owners have perpetrated a gigantic fraud upon the charge that the members of the the government, He makes it per fectly clear that the union disrupting operations of the Goldfield mine op- orators are not to be countenanced by Federal aid.
