The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1912-11-02

Ev. Nevads, October 29-Miners
aud millmen in large numbers were APP
plying for work this morning following
the action of the Ely Central Labor
League last night in soting TO call of
the strike declared against the Nevada
Consolidated Mining Company a month
ago. The vote of the Central Labor
League was forecast yesterday when
the Lane Miners Union aud the Steptoe
Mil and Smeltermen's Union instructed
| their delegates to stand for resumption
of work at the scale granted by the
company on October /. an advance OF
20 aud 25 cents a day to all classes Of
labor.
The following is taken FROM interviews
Governor Oddie and Sam W. Belford
gave the Reno Gazette on Tuesday: De-
claring that the State has won a great
victory for law and order in settling the
strike at Ely without further bloodshed.
Governor Tasker L. Oddie returned to
IcuO WIS u1okuAnB.
Governor Oddie has Just passed
through Is days Of stirring experiences.
about the most being the day
after his arrival when. facing several
hundred armed Greek strikers, he tried
to quiet them as they were preventing
the taking of a wagon load of supplies
within the gates. 1t was only by stop
ping the progress of the wagon which
later got in by q ruse. that shooting was
prevented.
Governor Oddie did not so much blame
the strikers to-day for trouble at the
mines as he blamed the outsiders who
led them on. When two miners were
killed, these leaders swore to warrants
charging Manager Lakenan and Busi.
ness Manager Jenkins with murder.
Governor Oddie declared that the leaders
of the men would be held responsible.
and by sticking to this declaration
forced the dismissal of the murder com
plants the day before he left.
Governor Oddte . Statement
II had assurances Sunday night al
midnight that the strike would be en-
tirely called off in the Ely and McGill
districts the next day. so l left there

trict and kept in close touch with every
thing that went on.
''In regard to my calling in the State
Police and declaring martial law in the
district and taking command myself, ]
will say that / would do the very sans
thing over again should | be confronted
by the same conditions, as / am firmly
convinced that the situation as / found
it and saw it made it necessary for me
to take the steps l did. l have already
made a statement to the public which
some Of the papers Of the State have
copied. and that goes into the condi
tioas as l actually saw them, and l will
not repeat them here. Those unfor
tunate happenings have past. aud peace
aud harmony have bean restored. Tue
company has assured me hat the in
crease in wages TO its men which they
offered before the strike was called
amounting to $4,000 per month in
crease, wouli be paid.
A Great Victory Won
II feel that a great victory nas beer
won in bringing peace and harmony on
] Of chaos and rioting aud all sides to thi
controversy should be congratulate
: over the outcome, as well as the State a
/ iarge. | cannot give toe much credit q
Mr.. Samuel w Bedford for the part b
has played in bringing the trouble to al
end. He came in after l had brough
the State Police into the district au,
