Try to Prevent Riots Which Are
Declared Imminent by
Labor Leader

same train with seventy employees of a
detective agency, who VIII act as
guards at the Homestake mine, where
a strike is now in progress, Charles II.
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, left Denver last
night for Lead, S. ID.
According TO kilograms received at
the headquarters of the federation, the
situation at Lead is becoming alarm
ing, and President Meyer was urged to
join other officers of the federation
now at the scene of the strike.
The guards, who had been hastily
gathered from all parts of the west,
were in charge of Robert Boykin.
Many of them took part in the Cripple
Creek riots a few years ago, and the
reason for their hasty departure for

the mine owners that there would be
a reputation of that affair.
Union officials deny that the union
miners have started any trouble, but
