Tonopah Union Organized

Two meetings of the mine and mill
workers of Tonopah last Sunday. one
in the afternoon and one in the even
ing. resulted in the organizing of the
Mine Workers Union with an initial
membership of 247. The new local
will meet every Friday evening. A
communication was received from
the Tonopah Mine Operators associa-
ton to the effect that the request
for higher wages could not be grant
ed at this time. The mine owners
took the stand that inasmuch as
wages we're not reduced when silver
was at it low ebb, they could see no
reason for raising them now.
