NINE OWNERS FIGHT UNION
Radical Change Made In The Operation
OF Seven Troughs Mines

A radical change in the operation of
the principal mines al Seven Troughs
has been determined upon. All the
properties of the Seven Troughs Coali-
ton Company have been closed down
and the miners dismissed. When they
are again opened up. it will be on the
open camp basis, with the Miners
Union no longer recognized in the oper-
alton of the mines.
The complete shut down of the prop.
critics in which about 60 men were en-
ployed was made early this week, and
during the week. many miners have
come in from the district and left for
different places. 1t is the intention to
close the mines down for a period of 80
days longer if necessary to properly
bring about the changed conditions.
General Manager L. A. Friedman of
the Seven Troughs Coalition Company
says that the change will be made to
eliminate the high grading that has
been carried on uninterrupted under the
present system. and also to reduce the
cost of operation.
Under the open camp basis the mine
management expect to put miners solely
of their own choosing at work. irrespec.
tive of whether non.u union or not, which
will give them an opportunity TO die
cover Immediately if there is high grad
ing going On. In reducing the cost of
operating Mr.. Friedman states that it is
not the intention to cut the wages at
once, because living conditions at the
district make it impossible for q miner to
live unless he gets q high wage, but it is
strongly intimated that reduction in the
cost of living must be made, and that
cheaper prices shall prevail in the
Seven Troughs district. -Lovelock Tri-
bune.
