9TH 3R COPPER WORKERS
TO JOIN WITH STRIKERS

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. ga
Charles Fl. Meyer, president of the
Western Federation Of Miners, an
today hat the federation may
a out the union men employed at
the Nevada Consolidated properties at
Ely, New; the Ray Consolidated. at
Kclton, Ariz, and the Chino, at Santa
Rita, n. M, which are controlled by
the Utah copper interests.
we are contemplating such a
move" President Meyer said, "and
have a mar on the way to Ely to take
up the matter there. d. c.. Jackling,
mar9gcr OF the Utah Copper COM
puny's properties, refuses to recognize
the union in Utah and we see no
reason why uniOn men in other states
should work for him.
The men have some pride and are
unwilling to work where they are not
wanted. In fact, the miners at the
Nevada Consolidated, at Ely, New. are
ready TO go out at a moments notice."
The Nevada Consolidated min en-
plOyS about $500 men. At the Chino,
Santa Rita, N. NJ, EGO men are en-
plOyrd, and the Ray Consolidated has
hundred.
The Nevada Consolidated and Chino,
like h Utah Copper mine, Of Bling
ham, arc worked with steam shovels
at the surface. and most Of the labor
Is unskilled.

.RESTLESSNESS or
STRIKERS GROWING
No Shots Fired, But Outbreak
May Come AT ANY Time At
..a# Bingham.

Bingham, Utah. Sept. 24.-Not q shot
was heard in Bingham last night. Ths
5000 miners on strike for higher
wages, impressed seemingly by the ad.
dress delivered to them yesterday by
Governor Spry and others, remained
quiet. But early this morning they
began to assemble at the railroad sta.
tion and in a little while 800 of them,
chiefly Greeks, were discussing the re-
port hat the Utah Copper company
purposed to put them to work at the
steam shovel pits today.
The Greeks asserted they had ad-
vices from Salt Lake that L. G
Sklirls, an employment agent, had
been engaged by the Utah Copper
company to forward strike breakers
The report was the more irritating as
Skliris has been made one OF the
issues Of the strike by the Greek ele.
ment, which asserts that he dictates
the employment OF his countrymen by
the mining companies, levies a toE
on their wages and procures the dis.
charge of those who do not p~atronizt
his place of business. Governor SprS
a been told by many Greek strikers
that they would be willing to waive
the wage demands II Skliris was re-
moved from camp
His Influence Denied.
The alleged influence Of the labor
agent is denied by Assistant Manager
Gemmell, OF the Utah Copper COM
pany.
S'xty-two hundred men now COM
pose the army of mine workers made
idle by the strike In the mines here
Wednesday morning and present indi-
cations are that this number will be
greatly increased unless a settlement
of difficulties is brought about within
the next few days. The situation to-
day was practically the same as when
the strike was called and there appears
to be little prospect of an agreement
between miners and operators soon.
Pickets patrolled the roads leading
to the mines last night. and early to-
day several shots were exchanged with
deputy sheriffs.
a "dinkY" engine guarded by 81
deputy sheriffs moved from the foot OF
the mountain to the top level of the
Utah Copper company's property this
morning. The strikers did nothing.
Men are leaving camp at the rate of
100 to $50 on every train.
