Jeuelry Workers

After being on strike three days,
fifty members of the recently organ
lied Jewelry Workers Union of Den
yer returned to work with signed
agreement by the six manufacturing
shops affected. Previous to the strike
the employers had refused to meet
with a committee of the union and
declared they would not tolerate a
union in their industry" When all
but one jewelry worker employed in
Denver walked out to enforce their
recognition, the bosses begun to see a
new light, and after it had reached
their dormant braincells, they began
to act. Then they invited the COM
mittee of the union into a conference.
The trouble was soon settled, and the
men returned to work as union labor
employees, their union recognized, an
eight-hour day with price and half
for overtime and double price for Sun
days and holidays. The wage in
crease, while not primary factor,
was satisfactorily adjusted to apply
to the various branches of work.
William C. Thornton, chairman of
the Trades Assembly mediation and
conciliation committee, was largely re-
sponsible for bringing about the ad-
justment in a manner that establishes
better understanding and closer re-
lationship between the employers and
employees.

News of the Labor Unions
Garment Workers

The twenty-first annual ball given
in Caldwell hall Wednesday night by
Denver Garment Workers Union No.
139 was a decided success. A large
crowd was present and the details of
the dance were so clevely arranged
by members of the committee that all
had real joy time. No labor organi-
zation in Denver can surpass the Gar
ment Workers when it comes to balls,
for they know how. The dance pro-
gram consisted of sixteen numbers,
and the girls had no trouble in filling
these up, for there were plenty of
male dancing partners.
The efficient committees in charge
of the social function were as follows
Arrangements-Sad Adney, chair
man; Amanda johnson, Bessie Huber,
Blanche Poznansky, Otto Myers.
Reception-Anna Ensminger, Mrs.
Himebaugh, Margaret Noonan, Wini-

A midnight banquet somewhere in
Denver" was rendered President Ed
Anderson of Local BARRIERS Union
No. 205 in celebration of his re-elec-
ton to the office of secretary-treas-
urer of the Colorado State Federation
of Labor. 1t took place, according to
reliable advices, on Thanksgiving
eve, because under the new schedule
the BARRIERS didn't work next day.
Harry A. Mcintyre, who is not bar
ber, and seldom gets a shave, was
master of ceremonies. Not all the
BARRIERS were present, nor, saith in
formant, We're all present BARRIERS.
John E. Connolly was scheduled to
make the principal speech of eulogy,
but stopped on high G when the feed
was announced. After which others
spoke, and then came the singers,
vaudeville stars and plain clothes men.
Then it dawned like the early day upon
Ed that he had in truth been elected

Investigation of charges that wait
ers employed in Chicago hotels were
alien enemies, agents of foreign es-
pionage corps eager to CLEAN infor-
nation from the men of affairs they
served, has been ordered by the Chi
cago Federation of Labor The Fed
GRAFTON intends to report the result
of its inquiry to Federal authorities.
The charges were made by B. M.
Parker, representing the Walters
Union.
Parker asserted that most walters
serving in large hotels are members
of an organization known as the In
ternational Geneva Association, with
headquarters in Dresden, Germany,
and that rs per cent of these walters
are not citizens, and that majority
of them are German and Austrian
subjects. These walters have no affil-
iation with the American labor move
ment.

OATMAN DISTRICT SCENE OF SECOND
 BIC GOLD STRIKE
J. L. McIver, Who Discovered Rich Vein of United Eastern Two Years Ago, Again Taps Rich Ore Body.

OATMAN, Ariz., July 14.-What con servative mining engineers have pro nounced the greatest strike in the Oatman district since the drills cut into the great United Eastern vein, two years ago, occurred at the Tel luride property last Saturday, July z.
 In many respects this strike is his toric in the Oatman district. It was made almost two years to a day after the main strike on the 'United East ern occurred, and it was made by J. l.. McIver, one of the men who dorve the drills into the vein on the United Eastern.
 In discovering and developing the United Eastern mine, Long and Nc Ivor made themselves rich and fam ous But to repeat the success on the Telluride seems almost too much for one man.
 Instead of retiring on their laurels and devoting the rest of their lives to spending the million apiece that their interests are supposed to be worth, Long and McIver went into the min ing game at redoubled speed and en- thusiasm after the United Eastern be- came an assured success and was turned over to the present company to operate.
 In addition to having charge of a  number of promising Oatman proper ties, they became interested in copper properties in the Parker district and in the southern part of Arizona. They have worked harder during the past two years than they ever did while running a drill or sinking shafts on contract or competing for champio1- ship honors against the best jack drillers in the world.
 Of late, they found it necessary to divide up their activities, Long at tending to the development work on their copper properties and McIver devoting his time to their Oatman in terests. of which the Telluride is the favorite.
 While not given to boasting or mak ing unjustified assertions, Mclver has always seriously claimed that he would make another United Eastern out of the Telluride. It was thi; faith in the property that led inves- tors all over the country to buy stock in it, but when the original capital was exhausted, Mclver demonstrated his own confidence in Telluride hy financing the development work him self for the past three months.
 The Telluride lies south and east of the Tom Reed, and it is the theory of gcologists that the Tom Reed vein is cut in two by a fault, one branch extending south and through the Telluride, trayersing that property for

 ARE SLOWLY LOSING
Continued From Page one)

Cananea is certain of being out its 7,OOO,OO0 pounds production this montn. Butte may safely be counted as minus 30.0OO,OOO pounds. Kenni- colt cannot pick up it's 6,O00,OO0 pounds. Among smaller producers suffering strike troubles there is an- other 100000 pounds loss to be add ed, bringing the total July metal shortage from the normal output of May to 74,O0O,OO0 pounds, provided no more strikes are precipitated. Exports of copper and copper in crude brass during the first four months of the year were at the rate of 1,476,450 500 pounds the year. Total copper produc- tioH for the year is figured at little more than 2,OOO 100000 pounds. So that nearly two-thirds of the avail able copper is going to Europe Nor nal home consumption before the war took care of about half of the coun- try's copper Added to that demand at this time is the new demand made by government usage in preparation for war.
 Very little contemplation of these figures indicates that even were the copper producers of the country at this time going at the top capacity to which it might be possible for them to crowd, as they were in May. they would still be running behind the de mands of the country and its trade. At the present rate it will, therefore, be but a very short time until the government is embarrassed by. actual need of copper that it can get only through curtailing shipments to its al lies or cutting off the supplies of do mestic consumers, a good part of which, incidentally, is now going into [ the manufacture of shells and other finished brass products entering into war usage.
 No survey of the strike situation among the copper mines allows of any other conclusion being formed than that the I. w. w. propagandists in charge of it are carrying out with much success their avowed intention of creating a serious situation for the government. Those federal officials who have been unearthing association between the I. w. w. and the German government are now turning more at tention to Arizona than ever before.

 REPORTS OF NUMBER
 IF MEN WALL KING OUT

GLOBE, July 14.-Authoritative I. w. w. statement this week was that the strike organization had withdrawn 17,000 men from work in the copper districts of the state.
 Last week 15.O00 men were claimed to be out by the l. w. w. officials. The increase of 1000 was claimed by reason of the Jerome defection from the mines of that district.
 The boast of the I. w. w., if true, would mean daily loss to mine, mill and smelter employees in the state of $76,500 in wages, figuring that the average earned by each man if at em- ployment would be s450 the day, which is an exceedingly conservative figure. As a matter of fact, under existing schedules and with copper metal average price of last month bringing the highest wages of the present year, the average wage will run considerably higher than s4.56. Figuring that average wage for the number of men claimed to be out by the l. w w., total of s2,295, ,0G0 would be reached for a month.
 As a matter of fact, there have at no time been as many as 15,000 men on strike. Fourteen thousand is prob ably the outside figure, attained dur ing the few days in which Jerome sui fered heavy defections from working forces. These were overcome in al most their entirety during the present week. Fourteen thousand out, how ever, means an enormous daily loss in wages, 63,000, or $1 1,190.000 a month. To this must be added the loss to each man of his daily cost of sustenance for himself and family. if he be mar ried, which will average not less than s2 day, or sS4O.OOO a month.
 Loss in this and the Miami district per day in wages is running about S25,OOO. Merchants estimate that they are losing in trade and accounts outstanding bills which cannot be col Iected because of departures from the districts, probably s15,O00 day, this figure being estimated by some as at least s5,O00 under actual losses. Loss in copper output, which is chiefly O; interest to the federal government ana it's war allies, is S0O.000 pounds a day or 4,OOO, 900 pounds month. It vii require months of reorganization worH to get the district back to that pro duction figure which had been attained as the normal before the strike, ever should the latter end immediately.

PRODUCERS RESPOND
 n NATION 5 GALL FOR MANGANESE SHIPMENTS

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Secretary Lane has called attention to response of manganese miners to the country's need. He says: Modern steel-mak- ing demands manganese, and shortage of a domestic supply has been mat ter of concern to those of us who wish America to be industrially independ- ent
 But war requirements for steel have been realized by manganese operators. Reports show that shipments or high grade manganese in last six months aggregated 2S,345 tons, or nearly 10 per cent more than 1916 tonnage, which was three times that of 1915. Shipments are reported from ten states. Montana shipments alone since last January largely exceed those for the whole Uinted States iii 1915.
 "The manganese situation, there fore. is considered most encouraging. The geological survey estimate for the year is S0,000 tons high-grade ore, which is less than 20 per cent of pres ent demand.
 shipments of lower grade ore are also record-breaking. the first SIX months of 1917 exceeding all of 1915 and the present rate of production promises an even larger tonnage for the remaining six months.
 "This gratifying activity in mining of so essential an ore seems to be largely the result of better financing and better engineering of the industry

Loma Verde and Ria Reef.


 The Loma Verde Copper company has upwards of 500 tons of sorted ore on dump that holds an average COD per content of 15 per cent per ton. Shaft and tunnel workings disclose a large tonnage of ore that samples from to 25 per cent copper per ton. Development work is aggressive and is being furthered by means of pow erful machinery. Nearby the Loma Verde estate the Jerome Copper com pany, owner of the valuable Ewing & Hooker group at Jerome. is prepar- ing to develop a large acreage on an extensive scale. This acreage ad- joins the Arizona -Binghamton mine, and at surface and nominal depth pre- sents mineral conditions similar to those which have at depth proved so remunerative for the company last mentioned.
 At depth of 75 feet the main work ing shaft recently started on the acre age of the Big Reef Copper company is in ore that carries stringers of born ite and chalcopyrite assaying from i5 to 20 per cent copper. A plant of ma chinery and power drills are aiding materially in the work of depth get ting. The Big Reef estate carries a series of lodges of demonstrated value. At surface and nominal depth they hold a large tonnage Of very val uable flux ore. This ore is being mined and is to be shipped to the shelter at Mayer.
 A shipment of % per cent copper ore will go out July IS from the lease workings on the Sunshine claim of the Arizona Copper Queen Mining com- pany The property is located near Cordes and is considered one of the most promising partially developed mines to the south of Jerome. It is equipped with a $30,00O plant of ma chinery and camp buildings The main shaft. at a depth of 210 feet, is filled with ore that samples an aver age of 6.5 per cent copper. The rock shows chalcopyrite, copper glance and bornite in quantity The shaft is be- ing sunk to a depth of 800 feet under contract. Mineralogical conditions in dicate that at that depth large and valuable body of copper ore will be found.

in the mining discard. Then M. V. De Camp opened old and new bodies of copper ore at increasing depth in the Blue Bell and De Soto mines, and investors again took a hand in the mining game there. Since that time the Arizona Binghamton. Copper Queen Gold. Henrietta, Butternut and Sterling have passed through the sue cessive stages of development leading from a mining prospect to produc- tive mine.
 Mining history is repeating itself along this belt of mineralized schist. with the result that what has been accomplished in the Blue Bell. De Soto, Arizona Binghamton. Copper Queen Gold. Henrietta and Butternut mines is now by way of being accomplished elsewhere along its amorphous length. The Copper Lode Mines company. for instance, is mining and milling SEQ per ton gold-silver-copper ore to an incline depth of 400 feet, and below that level. to a depth of $40 feet, is opening and blocking out copper ore that samples as high as 9 per cent copper per ton-averaging about per cent per ton. The Blue Monster. located near by. has an enormous tonnage of low grade copper ore in sight, much of which could be steam-shoveled at a profit.
