Goes Into Court to Get

The second suit for collection of

by District Attorney Eddy against the
Consolidated Copper company, the
amount involved, with penalties be-

first of these suits was filed several

In his complaint Eddy sets forth
the fact that the Consolidated Cop

suit includes the ranch commonly
known as the Shalinger and Comins

faith to perform the police duties in

As the operators association had
instigated the call for federal aid, the
commission on reaching Goldheld al
lowed its counsel TO present the OPP
orators side of the case fully. This
occupied five days. At the end of
these hearings, the report says;
"Inasmneh as we were by this time
satisfied that the mine operators had
not in any particular established a
case justifying either the bringing or
the retention of the troops. we did
not deem II necessary To take any ex-
tensive evidence on the other side,
and the hearing was substantially
closed with a brief formal interview
with the committee from the miners
union"
Reviewing the conditions leading
mp to the present strike and since the
strike began. November % last, the
report draws this conclusion:
USED SOLDIERS As WEDGE
THE action of the mine operators
warrants the belief that they had de-
termined upon reduction of wages
and the refusal of employment to
members of the Western Federation
of Miners, but that they feared to
take this course OF action unless they
had the protection of federal troops,
and that they accordingly laid plan
to secure such troops and put their
program into effect
When the troops arrived the mine
operators issued a statement in which
they indicated a reduction In miners
wages from So TO 81 day. also their
intention not TO employ miners who
belonged to the union.
The report adds while this cut
in wages and refusal to employ mem
bers of the Western Federation of
Miners was not announced until after
the arrival of the troops. every indi-
cation confirms the belief that such
action was In contemplation before
the arrival of the troops, was part
of the general plan of the mine op-
orators to establish their independ-
ence of the union and that the COM
ing of the troops was expected and
urged by them to make such a plan
feasible.
