ident of Consolidated.

into the federal court will be the

ing interests involved, an the large
number of persons holding shares IN
the mines in various states and ter
ritories; alleges that the Goldfeld
Miners union and the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners are voluntarily I'M
incorporated and that it is claimed
to be a part of another larger organ
ization known as the Industrial Work
ers of the World, also unincorporated,
which has the same principles and
seeks to accomplish its results by the
same alleged unlawful methods, and
has in it's ranks as members of these
associations not only the miners OF
the Goldfield district, but other labor
ers, such as walters, clerks, cooks,
BARRIERS and barkeepers.
Alleged Organization of Crime.

ern Federation of Miners is organized
for the destruction of property and
creating endless strife, disorder,
bloodshed and rioting. The Goldfeld

timidation" and of being guilty OF
wanton destruction Of property, MUIR
der of innocent citizens, lawlessness
and anarchy to such an extent that
