MULLAN MINERS
HAVE WALKED OUT
BELIEVED THAT l. w. w. INFLU-
is TRYING TO CRIPPLE
THE INDUSTRY

| WALLACE.-Despite the appeal made
lately by President Wilson that all work
men engaged in vital industries remair
on their work and refrain from striking
during the war, and violating the gov
ernment's work or fight" order, a num-
Der of men both at the Morning and
Hunter mines at Mullan have walked
out and refuse to return to work unless
their demands, which are of a trivia,
nature, have been met. Indications
point to I. w. W. influence in develop
ing trouble at the two properties and
appears to be carrying out well-lald
plan to cripple the industry along the
line of sabotage favored by the Wobblle
organization.
The Committee on Disloyalty of the
Shoshone County Council of defense
yesterday, without dealing with the de-
mands upon the companies by the men,
after hearing testimony bearing on the
walkout, adopted resolutions condemn
ing the action on the part of the men
as being "unwarranted, unpatriotic and
un-American," and demanding that the
men return to work and submit their
grievances to the proper authorities. 1T
also recommended that men in the draft
involved in the walkout be called in by
the Shoshone County Draft board and
inducted into military service at once.
AT the Morning mine the majority OF
the men were working under the con-
tract basis and were receiving wages
from $7o5 to $1167 per day of eight
hours The excuse given for the walk
out by leaders we're that they sought
practically IL to hours of actual
work, otherwise desiring their time to
begin from the time they appeared at
the head house and to end on their re-
turn to such head house, expecting also
pay for their lunch period They also
seek two pay days each month instead OF
one and desire also the abolition of the
Sunday change twice each month. To
all these demands the companies were
unable to secure sufficient time to de-
terrnine whether the demands could be
granted if at all
1t was learned late last night that both
properties would arrange to maintain
shifts at the properties regardless of the
action taken by the dissatisfied element.

and ready to entrain. There was nc
indication of the nature of the service
for which they would be required, but
| it is presumed that they are being held
in readiness to be sent to the Coeui
d 'Alenes.
Want Wilson as Mediator.
The men at the Morning and Gold
Hunter mines did not return to work
today as ordered by the Shoshone coun-
ty council of defense. Strikers com
mittees were in session a good part of
the day, and tonight wired to Secretary
of Labor Wilson at Washington, ASSERT
ing that they had justifiable grievances
and requesting him to act as mediator. +
The county council of defense notified
conferred Monday that unless the men
returned to work Immediately and sub
mitted their differences with the COM
panies to arbitration, those of draft age
would be Immediately inducted into mill
tary service. Those of the strikers who
are aliens will be investigated and an
effort made to deport them, it is said.
Sheriff Talks to Workers.
Sheriff Robert Pfeil of Shoshone
county and Charles Struthers, special
agent of the United States employment
bureau, went to Mullan tonight to re-
quest the strikers to return to work.
After a conference the officers were
notified that the strike would be con-
tinued. Advices were received in Wal
lace tonight that Attorney General t. a.
Walters had left Boise for Mullan to
investigate.
Aliens, of whom the most are said to.
be Finns, associated with I. w. W. agi-
tators, are held responsible for the
trouble. Fears are entertained that the
strike will spread to other properties in
the district, which furnishes approxi-
mately 40 per cent of the lead output of
the United States.

building of the shops will be just in line
with their training and will save much
expense to. the state.
The plans for the building were drawn
by Curtis Richardson, architect for the
state board of education, who will have
the supervision of the construction of
the building.
There were number of bids submit
ted and the committee, composed of DR..
E. A. Bryan, state commissioner of edu-
cation; Evan Evans, of Grangeville,
chairman of the state board of educa-
ton; and Ramsey Walker, of Wallace,
vice-president of the board, wrestled
with the bids for two days and nights
before letting the contract. Commits
sioner Bryan left for Boise, Mr. Walker
returned to Wallace and. Mr.. Evans, ac-
conpanied by Architect Richardson,
drove TO Lewiston to inspect the state
normal building recently completed, to-
day.
The contractors will begin shipping
material and equipment for the work to
Pullman at once. They have just COM

MORE MONEY FOR THE MESS
FUND FOR SOLDIERS

The First National bank donated So
to the mess fund for soldiers at the
University today. F. D. Hally gave
SO cents and Mrs. Ella M. Stewart
gave 81. The fund is growing, but
very slowly. Much more is needed.
Professor McDermott says that a

the shop free of charge have an
nounced a willingness to contribute
but none have done so yet.

the governor had in mind the strike in

DEFENSE COUNCIL
IN WEST ATTACKED
Milwaukee Journal Calls Tor Gen.
eral Housecleaning

Madison, Wis, Feb. S.-Criticism Of
the State Council Of Defense, of which
Gov. Philip is a member, for calling
before it the propTietors of the Water
town Times (Dem.) and warning
them that in the future there must be
no personal attacks on the governor,
continues in the press. The MilWau-
kee Journal, which persistently has
espOuSed the cause of loyalty and q
loyal press in the state, again takes
the lead and calls for a, houseclean-
ing in the council if it is to succeed.
After giving praise to the publishers
Of the WATERFOWL Times for express
ing patriotic thoughts in a pro-Ger-
man and hostile community, the Jour
nal, in a first page editorial, con-
tinues:
More recently there has appeared
in an afternoon paper, under a Mad-
son date, a long dispatch to which the
State Council of. Defense could with
manifestly more propriety give care
full attention. This article which is
signed, is likely to mislead many
readers. r Without analyzing it or
knowing Of it's authors official rela-
tionship with Gov. Philip, they might
accept what it says as the views Of
an unbiased newspaper correspondents.
s"They would view it in different
light if they knew that its author was
for some time Gov. Philips private
secretary, has been active in political
campaigns and is now the paid pub
licity agent of the State Council of
Defense
THE State Council of Defense was
created, and is spending state funds,
to assist the national government in
the conduct of the war. What any
of it's employees or agents does in a
public way necessarily involves the
council itself When an empIoye, as
in this case, grinds political axes and
asperses the motives of patriotic men
who do not happen to be supporters
of Gov. Philip is he acting with the
advice and, consent of the council
as the mouthpiece Of the council,
which is supposed to be serving the
whole people, not only those who be-
long to one political party?
Even if this gent is proceeding
on his own motion, not as the
spokesman directly of the council,
such work is harmful to the work of
the council and tends to create dis
sensions among the loyal people Of
the state upon lines that are purely
personal and narrowly partisan. 1t
is most reprehensible.
TT constitutes a public scandal
within the State Council of Defense
and that body should at once do some
housekeeping, Can anybody bring
himself to think that one of its
agents dare 90 SO bold thing, make
so public a record, without the l1noNl-
edge Of the council or some Of its
members?
The underlying significance of the
article may be gathered FROM lis
strenuous defense of Gov. Philip IN
all things and of its charge that GOV
Phll!ipp is being attacked as a result
of orders from Washington. with
view to SWINGING Wisconsin from the
republican to the democratic column,
and that a similar purpose turks be-
hind the plan for fusion for pa

Rear Admiral BowIes Expresses Conn
plete Confidence in Assis-

Phila delphia, Feb. S.--The work be-
ing done at the Hog Island shipbuild-
ing plant here was defended IN ;d-
dresses at a luncheon at the Chamber
Of Commerce yesterday. Rear Ad
miral Francis T. Bowles managing
director Of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, said NJ st Ct the criticisms
against Hos Island officials were un-
just and that he had every faith the
ships to be built for the government
at the plant would be finished on
schedule time.
George J. Baldwin, chairman of the
board of the American international
Shipbuilding corporation, blamed "a
wave Of hysteria'' for much of the
criticism.
Admiral Bowles has taken charge Of
operations at Hog Island for the AM
erican International Shipbuilding cor
poration. a subsidiary of the Am erican
, International corporation. Mr.. Bald
win is vice-presdent of the latter con-
Germ.
There has been a lot Of criticism, -

of it is true, but m ost of it is unjust.

ton. In the part tlat is True kuo"
