Miners Ask Resumption of Old Scale in Force Before War Operators Cannot Meet These Demands - to Arbitrate

6 @lNleAllh9 AQ hA QlAl uLE ! Reports which were circulated in this district yesterday that the old Dominion Mining company of Globe. was suffering under the burden of a strike similar in nature and for the same purpose as the strike now in operation in Miami and Inspiration workings were strenuously denied when The Review communicated with Globe last evening.
 Everything is quiet and orderly here" was the reply to The Reviews question concerning the reported strike. There is no strike at the Old Dominion. and no trouble of any nature is contemplated This after noon notices were posted at the workings Of the old Dominion stat ing that the company will give no raises in wages until copper has ad- vanced and a market Is found for a larger output Harmony exists at the present time between the miners and tre company and there is no sign Of impending clashes over the wage question"
 At Miami. where some 1900 men are idle as the result of the strike which was called in the Miami and Inspiration mines last week. accord ing to one of the largest mine off cials in Globe with whom The Re view talked last evening, the trouble seems to be the work of the Indus trial Workers of the World who are reported to have been gaining a bet ter foOthold in the new camp stead fly for the past year The officials with whom The Review had com munication said also that the com panies affected have been doing all in their power to bring the men back 10 work However. it is imposs- ible to state if they will return at an early date or not
 When the men first walked out of the mines and of the construction work progressing on the concentra- tors, shelter and other plants, they issued a demand to the companies that they be restored to the former wage scale before the ten percent cut was enforced at the outbreak of the war. The companies have Tee fused this demand. and since that time the miners have consistently re- fused Co return to their places. How ever, the miners have offered 10 sub init their case to.a board of arbitra- ton.
 Both General Manager c. E. Mills of the Inspiration. and General Man ager B. Britton Gousbsrger. of the Miami, have issued statements to the men. Mir Mills in his statement called to the miners attention the fact that the wages paid by mines in this state in the years past have been regulated by the price of the red metal on the market and the amount Of the output. At the present time he showed hem it is impossible for the company to pay more. He stat ed that as time passed and as con ditions become better the wage scale will undoubtedly be placed back at it's former rate and may even go 1igher
 Mir Gottsbarger in his statement called the attention of the miners to about the same facts as did Mir Mills. but he made no promises or offers stating that he would confer ] first with the general officers of the 1 company in the east before making ! definite statement to the strikers. 1 While there Is at the present time little encouragement Of an early re- l sumption of work and of the calling i of of the strike( mine officials in | Miami and Globe are optimistic.
 stating that they believe eventually
 the men will realize that the com ] panies are not unreasonable in their
 statements and demands. When the
 men realize this. the officials are
 sure an smieable adjustment win be
 had.
