engineers and operators from Colorado and Idaho have been warned not t0 come to GoIdheld. Most of them na2e needed the warning, otherwise addi- tional brutalities might have cccured. This industrial devils kettle has been simmering for long time and # !t did not boil over before the g. a of the world, it was because the greed of men caused them to endure tyranny rather than induce an exposure that wou-1 have killed the gamb bling in mluiIg stocks. Now that the monetary furry has put temporary end to fam boyant finance and the stock market looks less important than the real work of mining, the operators have forced ths situation and unmasked the anarchy that has prevailed so long. The lessees, who have operated most of the rich mines until lately, paid preposta"ous wages, as compared to other dlsCri25s, because they were in hurry to extract ore of unusual richness; the miners knew that the operators anyisty to avoid a cessation of work gavo ,ha@ the whip hand and so they nado ex- cessive demands, until Goldtield lps"t the whole labor market Cs the W's;. It was an unstable state of affairs and was bound to como to an end. That end is now in sight.
 The sending of federaI troops is much to be commended. Tbey cre there, as the President says, "neitaer for nor against the strikers or the employers. They are to prevent riot, violence or disorder, under and in ac- cordance with the constitution ana the laws Of the land. No man is 10 Dc interfered with as long as he conducts himself in peaceful and orderly man. ner." In face of the failure oi the local authorities and of the State Co enforce the law and to ensure each man pro lection while at work, there was noth- ing else to do and VIC deem 1t fortunate that the troops were sent so promptly. The Federal investigation of the local industrial conditions is also likely to be useful. Publicity will help tc clrt the actions of both sides and it is right that the country should be informed of the real facts of the case, so tat public opinion may be rendered intelli- gent and effective. The newspapers. unfortunately take sides in thess in- duatrial quarrels, SC that the average man rarely gets anything but dis torted story. Let there be a fair field and no favor. If man does not care to work for S4 per day he has the right to refuse; if another man is willing to take $4 per day, he ought to be able to work unmolested, even if it takes the whole United States Army so protect him from violence. On the other hand, the operators have no right to ask a man to what union, club or political party he may belong, and while in thi0 case the Western Federation is justly treated as an outlaw, we regret that the operators should discriminate against men by reason of their afilia- tions. We hope the quarrel will be fought to conclusion without any of the violence and brutality that marked events in Colorado and Idaho. The country is deeply interested in seeing that this purely industrial dispute is settled lawfully. The success of either disputant ia wholly secondary to the maintenance of representative govern- ment.
