MILLER DISCUSSES
LABOR SITUATION

Since the advent of the represent
tatives of the Western Federation of
Miners in the Ely district there has
been an increase in wages of from
twenty to fifty cents per day for each
employee in the mines, mills and
smelter. Many skilled craftsmen
have had an hour taken from the
workday. An increase in the pay
roll of the district of not less than
$500, 600 per year, an increase in the
wages of individual employees of
from $40 to $50 per year.
Every intelligent man knows that
organization and the threatened
strike alone brought that increase.
The press has teemed with statements
that the management were willing to
treat with their employees as individ-
uals. Workingmen know that the
grievances of individual employees
are answered with a time check.
When twenty Austrians at the smelt-
er requested an increase in wages
thirty days before the strike they

they saw that their fellows were not
going to support them they applied

willingness to redress grievances, |
place the fact of what was done.

ELFORD PREDICTS
INDUSTRIAL PEACE

The termination of the strike In
the Ely district will afford relief ia
thousands Of people. and will dissi-
pate the danger of prolonged and
widespread suffering this winter. In
dustrial controversies are at best de-
plorable and when. as here, thou
sands who were innocent of any
wrong-doing are included among
those who suffer most keenly. IT Is
time for someone to step into the
breach and attempt to secure an end
ing to such conditions. / felt this
way concerning the situation here
and whatever have been able to do
to end the trouble will be ample re-
ward in the consciousness that per-
haps there will be more OF comfort
and well-being among the people
and homes of this district where

dustrry as it is to supply the needs
of the world in production. In the
one field labor is organized and d.
rected by the employer, In the other
by the workers themselves. One
needs but to look at the condition of
workers in ~unorganized industries or
where organization has been crushed
to realize how heavy the employers
hand rests on unorganized labor.
In every conflict between labor and
capital the public protest against the
injustice done them and their plea is
always to labor to submit. If they
were to use their endeavors to secure
~jnstice for the worker In times of in
dustrial peace they would be entitled
to much more consideration In times
of strife.
Our demands were but partially
secured. The poorest paid workers.
the ones who needed an increase
most received least. The effort to
bride the comparatively we'll paid
mechanics by acceding to their de-
mands were unsuccessful; it portends
a day when the workers shall stand
united in industry and the ballot
box. The dawn of that day will
herald the advent of man.
Recognition of the union would
have meant industrial peace in this
community. 1t means democracy in
industry and that has a higher
significance than democracy in gov
eminent. In public life we have had
a taste of the unrestrained domina-
ton of great corporations, it is bitter;
in the mine and workshop it is still
worse. Men who are good enough to
make profits are good enough to send
a committee to meet the manage
ment.

Mr.. Bedford, against the evasive
language of Mr.. Lakenan's statement
and asked for the following:
All employees who desire shall be
reinstated in their former positions

Mr.. Bedford took it up with Mr..
Lakenan and assured Mr.. Nicholson
of the machinists, Mitchell of the
boilermakers and myself that Mr..
Lakenan had told Governor Oddie

II would not be proper to refrain
from an expression of appreciation of
the spirit shown by Mr.. Miller and
MS associates who directed the
strike. l feel that they have won a
great moral victory In that they had
the courage and broad humanity to
accept conditions as they developed
for the benefit Of the wage-workers
OF their W organization and for
the benefit of the people OF this dis
trict and state. / believe every In
oustriaf controversy must include
the public as a partner and that no

may be, still the controlling factor is
the attitude of the public. Mr.. Mil
