WALLACE, Idaho.-The strike

ers, which has existed since July Is,
was called off today following the
count of the referendum vote of
members held today. The total vote
was 103 to "a.
No announcement has so far been
made as to the time the striking min
ers are at liberty to return to work,
but it is presumed that the prepara-
tions for resumption of work will
begin Immediately.

when they resume operations, to OBJ
tain hundreds of miners from out
side, as many miners have moved
away and those remaining in the dis
trict are far from enough to man the
properties and place them on nor
basis.
For approximately three months six
of the eight producing mines, which
normally produce one-fifth of all the
lead mined in the United States, have
not produced a pound of ore as a
result of the strike.
