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 were not dis
eliminated against because Of affllia-
ton with any organization.
This statement was met by a reply
by A. F. Rees, chief counsel for the
mine owners, that it 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

Hilton said wages and hours no
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 Friends That Love
Us Always.

The friends that love US always,
In the good tines and the bad;
The friends that cling in tempest
AS they do in Gains are those
That have made the paths of hardship
Seem the paths of song and rose.
The friends that love US always,
When we go their way or not,
Are the friends that hearts remember
When the others are forgot.
The friends that stick the closest
When the trouble grows the worst;
The friends that love US always.
Just the way they did at first
They are the browning jewels
Of the coronets we weave
Ia the dreams of tender moments
When the troubles start to leave;
And we lisp their names forever
And we see their faces clear;
The friends that love us always,
In the sun or shadows, dear.

Washington, Dec. Is. -- Although

official has been received to indicate

through American telegraph lines to

The general belief is that President

and then If the demands of the United

threat of the Washington government
to return with artillery fire any firing
into American territory will be car

Mrs. Sharpless did not even bow her
head. She turned slowly, stepped down
from the stand and resumed her place
beside Mrs. Ciausen. A long-drawr
sigh swept through the courtroom.
