COMPROMISE IS OFFERED
Strikers Ready to Return to Work N
Given Right to Organize, but EN-

Men Are Barred Forever.

Hancock. Mich, Feb. 25.-Word
reached here from Crystal Falls,
Mich, that Leonard Nicola, an employ
ment agent for a mining company,
was alleged to have shot and seriously
wounded three members of the West
ern Federation, who. he said attack
ed him while he was attempting to
get men to work at the Quincy mine
here. Nicola has been arrested One
of the wounded men may die
c. n. Hilton, attorney for the strik-
ing miners, at the opening of the con-
gressional hearing. stated that the
copper miners would be satisfied to
return to work under existing con-
ditions, provided they we're not dis
criminated against because of aff1lia-
ton with any organization.
This statement was met by a reply
by A. F. Rees. chief counsel for the
mine owners, that 1t was the position
of the mine owners that the Western
Federation of Miners must be elimi-
mated forever from the field and that
no member OF that union could be TAX
en- back TO work unless he surrendered
his membership.
Right to Organize Only Issue.
Hilton said wages and hours nc
longer were items of dispute and were
satisfactory to the miners The op.
orators had been making an honest
effort to improve working conditions,
he believed, and the only disagree
ment was over the right of the men to
organize.
Rees declared many of the mines
were in full operation and that the
operators could not promise to take
all the strikers back; certainly they
would not reinstate those who had
been guilty of acts of violence He
said there was no objection to the
men organizing, but thought they
would be better off with independent
local unions
The Western Federation is Meyer

Il suppose the mine operators
would let the men have their unions,
provided the companies we're permit
