STARVING!I.W.W. STRIKERS
RETURN TO WORK In MINES
DUPES OF IDLE WONDERS" FAIL
TO GAIN ANY SUPPORT.
Two Hundred Men Who Quit Work in
Sympathy With Haywood Followers
Must Now Repudiate I. w. W.

The Industrial Wonder Workers
have lost another "stril<e." Perhaps the
dupes of these noisy loafers will some
day learn that the only way to gain
redress for grievances is by becoming
members of bona fide trade and labor
union. A press dispatch from Crosby,
MINI. says:
after having lost several weeks
work, watched their families and them
selves towering on the brink of starva-
tion, with nothing between them and a
northern Minnesota winter they said,
about 200 members of the Industrial
Workers of the World, which organiza-
tion called strike of iron miners on the
Guyana range, voted to call off the
strike.
whether the mine operators will ac-
cept the men back on their old Jobs is
not known. Altho the mines are claimed
to be working full strength, one mining
official expressed the belief that places
would be found for all men who would
renounce the I. w. W.
"At no time did the Guyana range
men make any demands, but went out in
sympathy with the Mesaba range strik-
ers."

of some of the trades affected would be
in the direction of progress, efficiency
and beneficial to all parties concerned,
and that where workmen are employed
in the same workshop, producing the
same class of work on practically the
same kind of machines they should hold
membership in the same organization
From our Investigations we are salts
fled that the interests of the men en-
gagged in these different trades will be
best conserved by amalgamation and we
submit this Recommendation, that the
Lithographic Pressmen and Lithographic
Pressfeeders and all workers in printing
pressrooms and lithographic pressrooms,
regardless of the style of press they are
working upon, shall be members of the
International Pressmen and Assistants
Union.
"That all photographers, artists, trans
ferrers and those engaged in the process
of providing plates from which printing
is done shall be members of the photo
engravers union.
"In making this recommendation we
realize that we are dividing union by
placing its membership into two inter
national unions, but we believe that un-
der the present Allied Printing Organi-
zation and the joint movement of print
ing trades to protect the workers in the
different branches of the printing indus
try, the interests of these men will be
best served by the carrying out of this
recommendation, and under the 'circum-
tsances it will, in our opinion, add
strength to these workers and tend to
improve their condition of employment.

amalgamation of these trades as herein

MOYER SETTLES STRIKE OF
OKLAHOMA SMELTERMEN
STRONG UNION IS IN PROSPECT AT
HENRIETTA, HE REPORTS.
Reaches Agreement With Employers at
Rich Hill, Mo-, and Men Return to
Work Under Favorable Conditions.

President Charles II. Meyer of the
Western Federation of Miners has re-
turned from Henrietta, Oklahoma, where
he spent very nearly two weeks negotiat-
ing settlement of the strike of the
Henrietta smeltermen, which was de-
clared July 2. After n conference last
ing five days an agreement was reached
under which the men on strike were all
to be reinstated in their former posi-
tions and the company agreed that in
the employment of workmen to operate
their smelter there snail be no discrim-
nation against any applicant for en-
ployment because of his membership in
any bona fide labor union nor shall
any employc of said company be dis
charged because of his activity in said
union. In several departments there
was an increase of wages and the mini
mum wage to be paid was fixed at S247
per day. Under the terms of the settle
ment, said Meyer, nothing but a lack of
interest on the part of the men can
stand in the way of n 100 per cent or.
ganization, and we have every reason
to believe that the Henrietta Smelter-
mems Union will prove to be one of the
best little locals in the Jurisdiction
President Meyer also held n confer
eHce WIFI representatives OF Ine Str1R-
ing smeltermen at Rich Hill, Missouri,
who had been on strike for several
weeks, and plan of settlement was out
lined which was accepted by the COM
pany. While no contract was signed,
yet the men returned to work without
discrimination and an agreement on the
part Of the company that there should
be no discrimination in the future be-
cause of membership in labor organi-
zation, and that no man should be dis
charged because of his activity in be.
half Of the union.
President Meyer reports the outlook
favorable for organization among the
smeltermen of the Southwest, and be-
lieves that an aggressive campaign will
result in bringing into the membership
of the Western Federation of Miners
more than twelve thousand smeltermen
in the Jurisdiction in that field.

Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. l2.-At a

troversy existing between the Litho-

rected that u special committee be se-
lected to make a thoro investigation of
the dispute with power to make recon-
mendations to the executive council, and
the executive council, upon such recon-
mendations was authorized to bring
about upon an equitable basis an ANAL
gamation of the unions involved in this
controversy, the terms of such amalga-
nation and jurisdiction claims of the
various organizations involved to be de-
cided upon by the executive council.
Pursuant to the action of the San
Francisco convention the special commit

James Wilson, James Holland and Jacob

their investigation and submitted the
following recommendations:

Secretary-Treasurer of Colorado State
Federation of Labor.
In a letter received at the office OF
the Federation from our old friend, Dave
Coates, former ssecretary-treasurer, and
then president of this organization, af-
terwards lieutenant governor of Colo
rado. many interesting Incidents of the
days that are gone are recalled to our
mind, and of our organization when its
history was in the making. As Brother
Coates is well known to our older men,
bers, and the part that he played in the
labor movement of this state was no
small one, this letter will be of interest
to many of our membership 1t says in
part:

Bulletin, and their splendid, 1 should
say stupendous, Labor Day edition has

certainly to be congratulated on this
monumental success, which exceeds any
thing ever attempted by local labor
paper anywhere in this country, and of
which the Denver labor organizations
may feel justly proud, as it is a credit
to them to have such a paper as their
official organ.

history of the State Federation of La
Dor, in which l am still proud of playing
part. Your story was well and truly
written, and you could have added many
more pages of interesting incidents
which redounded to the good of labor in
your state.
Brought Back Pleasant Memories.
''Your summing up of the benefit that
the Federation of Labor has been to
the wage workers of Colorado was cor
rect, in spite of the doubters and crit
les, and the good position of organized
labor in Colorado today is largely due
to the State Federation of Labor.
"Your article brought back to my mind
many pleasant memories connected with
our early struggles to organize, and es-
pecially the many Incidents and side
lights connected with the Cripple Creek
convention, where the political policy of
the Federation was laid down. 1 am
still of the opinion that l held at that
time-that if the organized wage earn
ers had organized politically along non.
partisan lines, in the position to cast
the strength of organized labor to their
best interests, that the great struggles
there to maintain the organization would
have never occurred, and labor would have
been much stronger and better off; but,
then, we must be satisfied with what
is done.

Pacific News Service.
 SEATTLE, August S.-After speak ing at Detroit and other points en route, Judge Hughes arrived here to- day and will deliver an address this evening. The speech of Hughes at Detroit is being widely commented on by the press owing to the obvious intention of the republican candidate to refrain from an accurate express sion of sentiment relative to the larg- CT issues of the campaign.
 The Chicago papers characterized his Detroit address as nothing more than q reiteration of his reply to the notification of the convention. 1t is declared that Hughes did not say one thing in his Detroit speech which was not contained in the acceptance communication. The failure of the Judge to make known his attitude is visibly worrying some of his most staunch supporters.
