JAMESON EXPLAINS
POSITIONIN SHELTER
STRIKE SITUATION

Denial that he was prejudiced
against the smelter strikers, that
he had hired strike-breakers, or
that he was taking personal
stand i'm the strike situation was
made In n lengthy statement writ
ten by Sheriff Jameson today
and sent TO the Times.
Jameson says that there is nc
strike-breakers' association at
the smelter and no need of 'one.
He declares that the strikers were
receiving more than the average
wage for common labor, and that
since the strike the smelter has
had applications from 10 men
for the position of every man who
struck.
The sheriff states that his dep
uties have been ordered to keep
off the streets of Ruston and not
to talk of the strike. They have
been ordered to remain on the
company's property, he admits.
Jameson declares that his de-
partment has no authority over
the local authorities of Ruston,
and compliments Mayor Pratt OF
Ruston for his manner OF
handling the strike.
The sheriff asserts that during
the first few days of the strike
workmen, some of them so years
old, were beaten and rolled in the
mud by "these young hoodlums
from the Balkan states" After
an armed force of sufficient size
had been secured to prevent this,
the sheriff states, these hood
lums and the miserable parasites
who prey upon their ignorance
and helplessness raised a cry that
they were being abused when they
were prevented from assaulting
the other 450 employees Of the
smelter. ="
Jameson asks IL the regular
workmen of the smelter should
forsake their positions "in order
that these foreigners who cannot
speak the English language may
compel the smelter to pay them
more than the current rate of
wages for common labor?"
Jameson declares that the
smelter company has had nothing
to do with the appointment OF
deputies and asserts that there
