COPPER MINERS STRIKE
Affair is Gradually Reaching the Feather End
While Operators Are Gaining

While Operators Are Gaining
There is nothing new to report from
the copper country strike this week.
The renewal of the injunction is grad
uaIly rending apart the back bone that
was badly cracked the week that
Judge O'Briens original injunction
was in force. What the injunction.
militia and prompt sheriff protection
does not kin Will be nipped off few
weeks hence when the cold blasts
from the north bring snow along
with them.
The mine operators will never recog.
nize the Western Federation that
much is assured. All miEes will close
down permanently before any sucn
contingency will be allowed to rule.
Some excitement was caused by a
party Of drunken mine guards. import
ed for guard purpose, who shot into a
parade Of strikers last Sunday. The
miracle was that none were injured
or killed by the shots. The sheriff and
mine managers Immediately started 10
clean house of all undesirables among
the mine guards.
The committee OF the copper country
commercial club made it's report dur
ing the week and il shows up the con-
ditions fully and fairly. II is in the
favor OF the operators all the way
along. The committee consisted of
reputable buisness men of the copper
country. They opened an Office and in
yited both sides TO put their cases be.

Wages. living conditions. costs of

The report goes on to state that the

son that different conditions exist az

further assures the gvernor that before

under way when the strike was called
that the mining companies will hear
