they wanted was to keep the power

could not keep it without running the

STRIKE
M0YER SAYS They WILL ALL Be
ORDERED 0uT...COMPANY SENDS
MACHINERY UNDER GUARD AND
EMPLOYS ANOTHER FORCE

Salt Lake City, Utah. Sept. 20.-Al
announcement by President Charles
H. Meyer of the Western Federation
Of Miners, that member of the unior
executive committee was on his way
to Ely, Nevada, to authorize strike
a the Nevada Consolidated Mine and
Smelter; the return of d. c. Jacklng
geenral manager of Utah Copper com
pany. to his office in Salt Lake; the
movement of machinery under guard
and without interference at the Utah
! Copper works and extreme quiet
among the miners were the develop
ments in the Bingham mine strike this
morning Mr.. Jackling said soon after
his arrival THE strikers at Bing-
ham do not represent the sentiment
of a majority of the employees. We
will see that the men who want to
work are given employment and pro-
lection. AS to the date of resumption,
am not prepared to speak, but as
soon as arrangements are made to
give the employees proper protection
the men will be put to work.
Mr. Meyer added to his earlier
statement regarding Ely that the Ne
vada consolidated employees were dis
satified with wage conditions even
prior to the Bingham trouble and
would quit work almost to man
when authorized to do so by the fed
GRAFTON.
A report current this morning that
the Western Federation of Miners
would attempt to close down the Ne
vada, Arizona and New Mexico prop
critics owned by Utah Copper COM
pany interests and managed by d. G.
Jackling, was partially confirmed by
he federation president, Charles II.
Meyer.
I'VE are contemplating such
1ove," he said, "and have a man on
he way to Ely to take UP the matter
here. Mr.. Jackling refuses to recog
lize the union in Utah and we see no

while three hundred of them, chiefly
Greeks, were discussing the report
that the Utah Copper company pro
posed to put few men to work at
the steam shovel pits today.
The Greeks claimed to have advices
from Salt Lake that l.. G. Skliris, ali
employment agent, had been engaged
by the Utah Copper company to for
ward strike breakers. The report was
the more irritating as Sklris has been
made one of the issues of the strike
by the Greek element, which asserts
that he dictates the employment OF
his countrymen by the mining COM
panies, levied a toll on their wages
and procures the discharge of those
who do not patronize his store.
Governor Spry was told yesterday
by many Greek strikers that they
would be willing to waive the wage
demands if Skliris were removed from
the camp.
The alleged influence of the labor
agent is denied by Assistant Manager
Gemmell, of the Utah Copper, who in
sists that Skliris is employed at fix
ed salary to supply them the men he
can when they are needed, but is for
hidden to collect from them while
they are employed.
A locomotive guarded by q deputy
sheriffs moved from the foot of the
mountain to the top level of the Utah
Copper property this morning. The
strikers did nothing. Men are leaving
the camp at the rate of 100 to $50 on
every train.
At noon the sheriff's forces were in
discussing the advisablllty
of disarming the strikers, mostly for
eigners, who had congregated about
the railway station, presumably to
await the arrival of strike breakers. /
The firemen and engineers of the /
camp. who do not belong to the t
Miners union, called meeting this I
morning to be held at o'clock this |
,fternoon for discussion as to {
whether they should return to work, if {
to do so by the companies.

In a special session the whole prob

In the district more than in the gov
eminent service, we can carry out the
ideas we have as to the government
control of corporations.
My third step is to put the indus

extend its power over interstate bust

Prison After Capture in DeS
MoineS, Iowa.

ROANOKE. VA. Sept. 17.-Sidna AL
len and Wesley Edwards are at last in a
Virginia Jail The two Hillsville gun
men captured Saturday at Des Moines.
Iowa, have arrived here in charge of
their captors, and are now locked in
cells There was no demonstration,
although the prisoners were greeted by
crowds. Business in Roanoke almost
stopped on their arrival
While Wesley Edwards is occupying
a bunk in his cell in the city jail, his
fiancee, Miss Maude Iroler. occupies a
room in a hotel just across the street.
The Aliens who were already in Jail
here were delighted to see their kins-
men when they arrived. Floyd shook
hands with his brother and greeted him
heartily. There was a general all
round handshaking, and when this was
over, the two latest arrivals were given
a cell close by those occupied by the
others
Miss Iroler left here this morning
for her home at Cana. Carroll county.
She said that she knew her father
would be angry. but that she was going
home nevertheless.
The two prisoners will have to be
taken to Hillsville to answer the in
dictments against them and then
should a motion for change of venue
be made this will have to be argued.
While Sidna Allen expressed wish
to have his trial at Hillsville, 1t is
certain that the commonwealth viii ask
for a change of venue.
Nothing has been definitely decided
the rewards for the arrest
of the men, but it is understood that
Detectives Lucas and Mundy will each
get a third.
