Several times this year we have met
with committees representing our en-
ployees and whatever minor controver-
sies existed have been satisfactorily ad-
justed. This company stands always
ready and willing TO meet with It's eIn.

mand for increased wages, except as has

Gibbons, the venerable dean of the Catho-
lie church In America, told the 500 men
AT the City. club luncheon this after
noon that II historian ever wrote
The Decline and Fall OF the American
Republic II would not be due to an In
VadinS army but TO the criminal sloth
and negligence and 10 the political
apostasy Of our own citizens
Before his address, he said In an au-
thorlzed Interview.
Equal suffrage, In my opinion, would
tend toward increasing divorce, which is
social blot on the United States and
is the greatest evil of the day.
IL women had equal political rights
With men there Is a probability that on
the slightest provocatlon they would
seek divorce, Given such equality. they
might overstep the bounds. Women un-
der present conditions are too prone to
go to the divorce courts. and political
equality might make them more so. II
might have the effect of turning their
heads"

jury of the farmer
: The witness said the company sold
to agents with per. cent discount
for cash, and the agent, by adding his
profit, determined the price which the
farmer was to pay.
One reason, Mr.. Haskins explained,
why the sale company made only $780, |
600 while it sold $lO0,00O,000 worth |
of implements was that it was constant |
ly expanding its business and expend |
ing large sums for advertising.

Business Men Gloomy.

The business men of Bingham who
remained awake to learn the result of
the vote are feeling deeply detected
at the situation, knowing that their
business will be adversely affected
from the beginning. The merchants
and the American miners are sympa.
thizing with each other tonight and all
take n gloomy view of the immediate
future.
Talks with the American miners dis
closes the fact that the great majority
of them opposed the strike. The per
oeutage of Americans TO foreigners is
about one-fifth or one-sixtb.
When asked tonight how it came that
the vote at the meeting was practical
~ unanimous one OF the American min"
ers said that only handful OF Amerl-
cans were present In the theater when
the vote was taken.
Already many miners have left the
camp. Today fortytwo men quit the
Apex mine and departed from the town
In fact. men have been leaving all week
and the total is proba bly, somothing more
than 100. Unless there should be sud
den change for the better In tho situa

miners will quit the camp before the

were asked whether they favored the
strike, they leaped to their feet and
broke into cheers. When the negative
vote was called for, not single min,
