SHELTON STRIKE
fcnntiniAd from Page a.l

s eT.1at certain business men of Shell ton discussed the advisapility of kid mapping Matilda Rabino wftz, the young woman leader of the Blumen- thai strikers, as a, means to ending the strike, was the charge of Sam. uel Beardsley, made at 8 mass meet ing of the Socialist party in the town hall in Shelton last night
 Beards1ey said he had the inforrna-s ton from a source that left him little room to doubt it's truth. Beardsley, one Of the leading Socialists of the state was the principal speaker at a. meeting under the Shelton Socialists auspices
 Isidor PoIsky of New Haven. was chairman of the meeting. Both took filings at MT. BIumentaPs attitude to- ards the strikers, and towards the conlmitteeseof citizens who have wait ed on him.
 At the close of the meeting Beards-. ley outlined settlement plan to the meeting that called forth applause He suggested the calling of 2 special meeting of the board of btIrgesses of the town for the purpose of waiting on BIumenthal and insisting that he meet the strikers for a discussion of their grievances
 .sIf this is done, the strike can be settled in 24 hours. declared Beards-s ley.
 Beardsley in characteristic fashion went after Blumenthal declaring that he was greatly in debt to the town of Shelton, and discredited the stories that Blumenthal would leave the town ii. he couldn't get settlement of his labor troubles in his own way.
 ..Where would he gog'' asked Boards ley ITO New York. where there are labor troubles all the time? Don't forget that the strike is the fault of Blum enthaPs methods, not of the town. He'll have strikes wherever he tries to run mills this way.
 Then Beardsiey went into the his- tory of the plant. He reminded his hearers that the town of Shelton re- rnftted BlumenthaYs taxes for five years when he first came here; that the town spent more than $1,e0o to improve drainage system for his es- others had vainly sought; and now, when the claim is made that Blumen- thai has more than million invested in his plant, the tax books show him paying on an assessment of $240, 900. He concluded that the town hadn't done so badly by Blumenthal, and that Blumenthal owed 1t to the town
 Beardsley excoriated the Shelton merchants. He as we'll as PoIsky discredited their motives in seeking to end the strike. It is because on Saturday nights their trade is failing off they want the strike over, and not for love of the toilers, said he. It was in this connection that he mado the sensational statement about the kidnapping plot.
 Attacking the merchants he said be couldn't help admirirg their solid arity as a. class. He referred to the history of legislation involving child labor, the labor of women, and the

 A collection for the strikers. taken during the meeting. amounted to $14.20.
 Today it was learned that the Knights of Pythias, who have control of the big hall known as Gould Arm ory, have been influenced to take, ac- ton to the effect that the hall will not be rented henceforth unless it is to be used.
 Strikers. and others here declared that the hall had been kept dark for many nights, rental being paid on these nights by merchants who were anxious to tnwart the strikers and prevent their holding big meetings.

Ojinaga, Mex, Jan. 1o--The federala drew the first blood when the battle of OJfnaga was renewed lasF night after an interrnission of five days. When an attachment of Orozco's cav airy went out to scout the hills to the southwest they returned with ten Of General Villa s most trusted scouts and hankers who had been out to the Pass with a message from the com nander in chief.
 These prisoners swi11 be given the Mexican thiFd degree, which c0nsists of standing them against wall and threatening to shoot them until they reveal the information desired. Once this is given they are put tos deatIs- as no prisoners are allowed to be kept.
 The prisoners remained stoical1y si- lent and refused to reveal any of Gen-i eral Villas arrang geInents aIthough they were in close touch with the gen eraI and were acting as messengers between the cennmander and the rebel outposts.
 Tn anticipation Of the rebel attack the refugees who forded the muddy. river have recrossed to the American side and taken up their temporary abode under the cotton woods Among them are wound ed federal soldiers dis charged from the Red Cross hospital bands were killed in the previous en- Eagements.
 The federals suf9efed more heavily than they would admit for. when 1t was learned that the rebels were about to renew the attack, they sent over dozens Of wounded men, who had been cared for in the adobe houses and in the trenchea.

 Beardsley then took up the history of the Blumeuthal connections with the Shelton courts. Tn 1911 he said the town, evidence was secured by two inspectors of the state that the BlumeuthaI factory was working 30 women overtime, also that the law regulating the posting of a notice of working hours was not compiled with. Complaint was laid before the then
 prosec,ltor, Baldwin. and for weeks the matter lay dormant. Finally it came into court, and Judge Nichols announced that the case had been continued at the request of counsel for the defense. Then the folks i'm terested in prosecuting the offenders learned fors the. first time that the counsel for the defense was Harri- man, the prosecutors law partner. And so 1t went on, he said, until fin ally they learned by scrutfnizing the state factory inspectors report that lthe concern had been fined s for it's shortcominEs. ssBlumenthal was too nice a gentleman to hale into court ? said BeardsIey, ssso they fixed 1t up on the outside
 seph Shapiro for taking what he termed an unfair advantage of the strikers who fell into the clutches of the officers and who were on trial without a lawyer. He referred to Shapiro as Of a people who had too long felt the sting of oppression not to have a feeling of sympathy for the sufferers. But Shapiro pevertE1e- less went far beyond the scope of the cases before him, said Reardsley, in |quastioning the strikers as to their pay. the reasons they went on strike, their attitude on .unionisTn, and the like. s4s
 He charged that the employment
 system Of the Blumenthal plant amounts to black1isting, and asked his audience if they believed it fair that an employer should legally blacklist his men, and that an e1n- ploye should be legally restrained from boycott.
 Beardsley said he cared not what. sort of an organization the strikers ganization, for all Improvements must come through organization. He urg- ed the strikers to maintain their or ganization, and bespoke for them the help of the others of the comman-
 Referring to the recently published notice Of Warden Barlow, asking cit izens not to congregate on the street, he said this had the effect of read ing the riot act, under the law and he blamed the warden for not making this fact plain in connection with the notice.
 Beardsley handled the police sit- uation without gloves. He launched into an attack on the Blumenthal guards, and especially on the New Haven supernumerary cops He told rff aoaTs inc Ifs fraT Mf.RT To whom one of them told sto get a shave, and otherwise insu1ted in BeardsIey's hearing.

PLACER GROUND
IS EXPANDING

With each day of sunshine come
fresh reports of another hole getting
into pay gravel, not only in one but
all the canyons and gulches extending
down to the plain from the Battle
Mountain range, says the Scout. This
week it is Ell Dorado canyon, which
is next to Copper canyon, that is in
the ascendancy. The miners there
boast hat the showings promise that
Ell Dorado will soon outshine Copper
canyon, and by the number of deals
made during the week by people on
the ground and able to judge, it is
quite probable that it may do so.
F. P. Starr bought of Weaver,
Black and Bailey the whole of Star
walton placer claim. Angus Mclean
bought of Hans Westgard a one-half
interest in the F~orty-nine placer
claim. A. f. Nelson bought a claim
of Nichols and associates. Borcherd-
ing from Copper canyon also bought
two claims. One of these purchases
had again been turned. J. w. Robin
son & Co. have good pay and have
not yet reached bedrock. All these
properties are in Ell Dorado canyon
and extending over the ridge from
Copper canyon toward Willow creek.
In Shows gulch, scarcely eight
miles from Battle Mountain, Stewart
and Adams from a gallon of dirt tool
1928 worth of gold.
Alder canyon is perking up with
additional work, a pump is about to
be installed there for the extraction
of water so hat bedrock may be
reached. There seems to be no ques-
ton about gold being there, the only
point being the quantity and the en-
istence of an old channel.
The very latest development is
in the OldsmCbile claim at the head
of Copper canyon, some 1000 feet
above the Blue Jay claim, and which
adjoirs the Meager ground reaching
up from Galena canyon. There have
been found 81 and $3.50 to the pan
of dirt.
The Borcherdlng block in Copper
canyon is steadily producing. The
Lewis block adjoining have a new
shaft down into the pay.
Christensen & Dahl are now
ground sluicing, hauling the dirt
from the shaft to the water, some
quarter of a mile.
Philadelphia canyon, Box and Iron
canyon and Bannock are showing up
well.
And more is coming quite soon.
ole" Elliott of Goldfield fame is
in Copper canyon, and has seem
enough to keep him there several
days. Not only be but Peter Hotts of
Alaska placers, who went out today,
will undoubtedly become interested.

NEW EDITION OF COPPER
HANDBOOK IS READY

Volume XI, the 1914 edition of the
Copper handbook, is just received,
Former issues of this work, by
Horace j. Stevens, were considered
the standard authority on the sub
ject of copper and copper mines for
the entire globe. The new work has
been entirely rewritten by Walter
Harvey Weed, the recognized au-
thority on copper mining n an
engineer and g~eologist of interna-
tional reputation. The new volume
has several innovations which make
it very much more valuable to the
reader. The most important is un-
questionably the geographical index,
which gives at a glance the names
of all mining companies operating in
or near any town in America, or III
any foreign country. If you forget
the name of the company but emem-
Der the locality, this list enables you
to spot it.
Mr.. Weed has also separated all
dead companies and grouped them
in a dead list" in which the vital
facts and references are given.
The greater part of the book, as
in former annual editions, is devoted
to descriptions of the copper mines
of the world, the amount of their
holdings, their officials, finances,
profits and loss, costs, output, nature
of ore, geology, methods of mining.
milling and smelling with descrip-
tons of plants and probable future,

pany.
