II you should try to interfere in that
way, then it is the duty of the sheriff
to enforce the law, and the sheriff
will enforce the law as far as it is
in his power"
d. c. Jaekling, vice president and
general manager of the Utah Copper
company on arrival from Los An
geles, asserted that just as soon as
arrangements can be made to pro-
tect the lives of the employees of the
company the men will be put to
work.
He says that he is still satisfied
that the strikers do not reflect the
sentiment of the majority of the en-
ployees of the Utah Copper company.
I'VE will see that the men who
want to work are given employ
ment," he said. and that they will
be given full protection"
Mr.. Jackling maintains the posi-
ton that he took earlier in the strug-
gle, that no one has the right to die
tate to the company whom it shall
employ. and so long as the company
can make arrangements satisfactory
to the men working for the company,
the company will see that the men
are given employment and protec-
ton"
As to when work will be resumed,
the officials of the company are not
prepared to speak, but the order to
resume work will be given just as
soon as the workmen can be ade-
quately protected.
A dispatch from Bingham to the
Deseret Evening News. says
THE strike situation of the past
two days has developed several
significant features. chief of which is
that the foreign element of Greeks,
Italians, Austrians and Cretians are
dominant in the situation into which
the white element has been forced
against its will. In the camp the
laborers are designated as whites
and foreigners.
"The Bingham camp is today a di-
vided camp, with the line drawn as
sharply as the roadway winding
through the narrow bottom stretches
of the canyon. On one side is mob
of something like 5000 or $500
aliens, who have completely closed
the district; on the other side there
are perhaps 1900 men who refuse to
strike, who want to work, and In
addition to these the merchants and
the citizens OF Bingham itself.
while the majority, the aliens,
forced the strike, 1t is not at all un-
likely, however, that the growl of
the minority will go far towards its
settlement.
ut is only the foreign element
that is on the strike. Shovelmen,
engineers, firemen, blacksmiths,
boilermakers, maehinists, etc, are
simply taking a 15-day vacation.
One significant feature of the calling
of the strike is shown in the fact that
IL was called by the unions of the
blacksmiths, machinists and boiler
makers. Although the president of
the federated miners was on the
ground the Western Federation
of Miners had no visible part in the
calling of the strike.
at leaked out from reliable
sources that when the blacksmiths
employed at Bingham voted on the
question of the strike, there We're but
two votes cast in favor of such a
movement, while there were 81
against it. The grand council, how
ever. affiliated with the Western
Federation of Miners, ordered the
local lodge to strike.
"There is visible feeling of
bitterness among the mechanics and
artisans thrown out of work because
of strike. An official of one of the af-
dliated unions said today
This thing has been forced on us.
None of us wanted to strike and We
had no grievance. Take the engi-
neers and firemen, for instance, they
were and are entirely satisfied; the
shovelmen have no kick coming and
am sure that the boilermakers,
blacksmiths and machinists are con-
