The Ketchikan miner., 1908-01-11

Goldfeld, Jan. G. 6.-Indications point to satisfactory settlement of the long drawn out labor difficulties that have made Goldield and the state of Ne yada a hotbed of strife and dissention. An industrial union has been organ.z- ed and all of the members of the miners federation have joined. The organization has been recognized by the Mine Owners Association. Among other favorable features, the new or ganization does not permit strikes to occur. All difficulties are to be settled by arbitration, a board to act in that capacity with representatives from the disputing parties. It is probable that the new organization will SUD- plant the miner's union that has been in existence since mining operations were begun in this section.
