THE GOVERNOR WAS DRUNK

Vincent st. John has gone also
II was the intention TO arrest him here
on extradition papers, and take him
to Telluride to be tried with Steve
Adams foI the murder of Arthur Col
Inns, superintendent of the Smuggler
Union mine.
Judge Hilton, the Denver attorney,
for the Federation, was here coming
at the request of President MeKinnon.
The mine owners refused to confer
with any representative Of the union,
and are refusing to recognize it in
any capacity whatever. They waited
till the troops were here and then
through the press issued a notice dis
claiming all agreements and contracts,
and lowering wages one dollar day.
The "Nevada Workman" edited
by Percy Rowlings, is the organ Of
the miners here. 1t is vigorous
weekly sheet with no political policy.
1t is stated that the majority of the
unon men are not in favor Of political
action at all, but look upon it with
Indifference. Everything here is or
ganized into the l. W. wa magni-
fcent opportunity, one would think
for that organization to prove its ef-
ficiency.
This quiet waiting game will come
to an end. Something will happen in
the next three weeks.

Status of the Strike.

Everything seems to be in statu
quo. The troops under the command
of Col. Reynolds are located in two
camps of about 200 soldiers each, one
near the depot doubtless for the
avowed purpose of protecting the seabs,
when they come in, and the other on
Combination Hill, for the purpose of
protecting the scabs at work.

lation are full Of direful prophecies.
of what will happen should the troops
be withdrawn, and are using every
effort to have them remain.
Certain taxpayers are saying they
prefer the troops in, because if they
are withdrawn deputies will be sworn
in in their stead and heavy taxes will
fall upon the property owners in con
sequence.
The union men Of course want the
troops out of the way. Their presence
is an insult to an organized working
class, and there is no doubt but what
under their cover men would come in
to scab that would hesitate to do so

Special Correspondence to the News:

Special correspondence to the News.
The lawlessness of the capitalist
class was never more rankly evidenced
than through the means that were en-
ployed to get the troops in here. Gov
ernor Sparks signed the order when
he was drunk, a mellihuous state into
which he was decoyed at a banquet
given for his benefit by the mine own
ers in Reno. 1t is reported that he
has not yet recovered from that celes-
tial stage. He was drunk when he was
here at Goljfeld. He was so drunk
that he fell off the train and was in
jured when he got back to Reno, and
he is now seriously i'll from the results
of the prolonged debauch that was the
necessary prologue to the crushing Of
the Western Federation in Goldfeld.

President McKinnon is an excellent
man to be at the head Of situation
like this. He is cool, quiet, firm, no
tendencies to freakism, a man who
can play a waiting game.
C. E. Mahoney, vise.president Of the
Federation, and acting president in
the absence of Meyer at the great con.
spiracy trials is here. Mahoney is a
quiet, firm man, of the Butte Mill &
Smeltermen union, with lots Of sense
He even looks upon the possibility of
the Federation being put out of bust
ness in Goldfeld with a sort of stole
philosophy. He says such setbacks
have been diseouraging phases in the
path of organized labor always, and
that it has many Of them yet to meet.
A number of the old standbys of the
Federation are absent as witnesses at
Boise. Among these is w. L. Davis,
the stalwart Coeur d'Alenes miner.

the southern desert, and here where
there is no work and living is double

Silva was an Italian restaurant keeper
who insulted one Of the girls in his
employ. The girl Immediately quit
work, whereupon Silva refused to pay
her her wages, claiming that il was
a violation of union rules for her to
quit before the end of the ewek. The
Western Federation Of Miners, into
which organization all the trades of
Goldfeld are organized on the 1. w.

WHAT THE STRIKE MEANS

Under the above caption the "Ne
vada Workman, organ of the miners
union at Gold6eld, has published a
clear synopsis of the causes that LED
TO the present disagreement between
mine operators and their employees.
The points are specified as follows:
i. The miners do not refuse to ac-
cept cashiers checks simply because
those checks are unusual, but they do
demand that the employers of labor
shall back those checks with a reason
able guarantee of their value as a
medium Of exchange.
2. The mine owners have absolutely
refused, after having been given ev-
cry opportunity to do what is right,
to guarantee that the paper issued by
them in payment Of their employees
wages, will be secured by the product
of the miners labor, by the property
of the mine owners, or by any tangible
or legitimate security.
3. The cashiers checks issued in
the town of Goldfeld are not legal
tender, and until they are secured by
something more than the mere word OF
a private citizen, they cannot be con
sidered to be a legitimate equivalent
of wages for labor performed.
4. Many mining and leasing com
panies have given the strike commit
tee a satisfactory guarantee in this
matter; and all such cases the men
have returned to work.
5. As showing to what extent the
cashiers checks of this town can be
regarded as worth their face value, ap
advertisement has already appeared
in a daily paper offering to pay cash
for the checks-at a discount.
6. A number of the business men
of the camp have endorsed the action
of the miners union.
z. The present fight is not for cash,
but for a medium of exchange in this
town that will fulfil all the legitimate
requirements of cash, and will not be
discounted to the injury of the pos
SCISSORS.
s. If the mine owners want peace
they have only to do what they are
legally required to do; to guarantee
the wages of their employees. Until
they do this, they will be regarded as
the aggressors in this fight.
Since Nov. 1906 there have been
four general strikes in Goldfeld; the

Lest We Forget Preston and Smith
Are Still in jail.

Are Still in JAN.
The above is the inscription the
"Nevada Workman" organ of Gold
field miners union, carries at the
head of its front page. Preston is
in the state penitentiary at Carson
City for twenty-five years, and Smith
for ten. They are not degraded Grim
inals. They are union men who got
into trouble with the capitalist class
through zeal in their own class inter
ests.
Preston, who shot Silva, is young
innocentihearted, inexperienced boy,
who stood up to the duties Of his union
had imposed upon him and didn't run.
Smith is an aggressive union man, to-
tally innocent Of murder or any other
crime. Yet, the bars Of the capitalist
and his laws have shut out the best
years Of their early manhood.

Gold6eld is quoted as the greatest

Nixon and ex-gambler WingGeld, at
the time they refused to insure the

and issuing reports that their 6nanc.
ial status was such that these divi.
dens could be guaranteed regularly
for a year. The mine owners adver.
tise a production of $4,0OO,0O0 in gold
per week. President McKinnon said
in his statement that not more than
700 men were employed in and around
the mines of the camp. Granting each
man to be getting s5 per shift, and
placing the product of the mines a,
less than the lowest figures of the
operators, say one million per month

PETTIBONE'S TRIAL INTERRUPTED

ment was taken until tomorrow morn
ing. When court convened a eertif.
cate was presented signed by the de;
fendant's physician, stating that he
was unable to appear in court. Last
night he became violently i'll and was
taken to st. AlphOnsus' hospital For
time his condition was extremely
critical, but today much Improvement
in his condition is reported.
Pettibone has been a sick man all
through the trial and has frequently
been taken to the hospital at nights
because of his suffering, but heretofore
has been able to appear in court each
day. 1t is thought that his malady is
incurable and it is regarded a question
if the trial will ever be concluded.
Judge o. N. Hilton, of Denver, was en-.

Four Butte laboring msn, Joseph
Shannon, president of the state union
of the Western Federation of Miners;
William Cults; r. s. Scott, business
agent of the Workingmen' union, and
A. Z. Edwards, business agent Of the
Butte Building Trades Council, ap-
peared in the federal court this morn
ing to show cause why they should
not be punished for contempt il being
alleged by the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company that the men vio-
lated the injunction issued in October
by Judge Hunt restraining certain per-
sons from interfering in any way with
the operations of the company.
Will Last All Week.
Fifteen witnesses have been sub
poenaed by the Bell company TO tes-
tify regarding the alleged violation
of the courts order. The defendants
have subpeonaed thirty witnesses to
testify for them and to show that the
order was not violated. The hearing
began at 10 o'clock this morning and
it is expected 1t will continue all
week.
Three witnesses were examined this
morning. They were II. M. Wool
nancy, who was working on the new
Bell building in Butte when he was
escorted to the Miners union hall; G..
W. Stapleton, who was on the street
as Woodmancy passed by in the COM
pany of half dozen men; and Glenn
Foster, another workman on the Bell
building, and Woodmancy's brother
in-law. The testimony Of the witnesses
was substantially the same as given
in their affdavits published several
days ago, save It was given today at
greater length.
Judge Hunt stated TO the attorneys
at the beginning of the hearing that
he desired TO get at the truth of the
matter and to ascertain all the facts
as expeditiously as possible. Several
objections Of the defendants to ques
tions put by Mr.. McIntire TO the wit
nesses were overruled, Judge Hunt
stating counsel could reserve every
exception.
Defense Disclosed.
Perhaps the most important points
were elected this morning on crosI
examination Of Woodmancy and Fos

line of defense Of the men charged
with contempt, was disclosed.
