Of the fam )us backwoodsman, due to

men were simply organizing Mexican
labor unions and not melting to re-
bellion.
The executive board was instructed
to start a vigorous campaign for mem
bership in every mining camp under
its jurisdiction. The campaign in
cludes small camps as well as larger
ones. Special instructions were given
regarding the mines, shelters and
mills of Colorado. The prosecution of
the officers and members having been
ended, the organization will turn it's
attention to a constructive policy. One
new district to be known as the Alas
ka district was created. This gives
a total of eight districts and increases
the executive board to eleven MEM
bers. The question of organizing 9TH
er unions than those of miners, smell
ter men and mill men in camps where
no other labor union is represented
was under discussion when the con-
vention adjourned.
