GemmelI Defends Skliris.

Robert c. Gemmell, assistant general
manager of the Utah Copper company
talked freely last night in reply TO the
charges that had been made against L
G. SlSllris, employment agent OF the com.
pany. Mr.. Gemmell said;
Mr. Slsliris has been in our employ
TOR some time and his work has been
entirely satisfactory to us. The
charge Is made that Mr.. Skliris hae
taken money from men for getting
them positions with US and that the
men are ooerced Into trading at a
store In which a brother OF Mr. skliris
owns a considerable interest The
fact is that Mr.. Sklrs is paid
monthly and fixed salary by the Utah
Copper company for his services In
furnishing men as they are needed.
We do not believe that he has taken
any money from any man for whom
he has secured a position with us.
False Charges, He Says.
On one occasion We received a petit
ton signed ostensibly by fifty men,
who complained against Mr.. Skliris,
on the ground that they were paying
him for their jobs and that they were
compelled to trade at the store In
which SkIiris's brother was interest
ed. When we looked into the matter
we found that only two of the men
whose names were appended to tho
petition were employees Of the Utah
Copper company. Al this time our
superintendent was instructed TO post
notices throughout the camp notifying
the Greeks that they should not pay
money TO anybody for positions and
that they could trade where thew
pleased, These notices were signed
by mo and approved by D. c. Jack
ling.
Later We received another petition
10 the same effect, signed oatensibly
oy sixty men. Upon investigation we
found that three OF the men worked
for the Utah Copper company, and
these three men denied that they had
signed the petition. Many OF the
