Judge Ames issued the following
statement:
''The strike is a violation of law. AS
long as it continues, we are going to
proceed in the courts. The dispute be-
tween the mine owners and workers is
an entirely different question, that
they can settle in their own way. The
government cannot tolerate continued
violation of the law such as this strike
constitutes"
IF the injunction were withdrawn
the scale committees representing min
ers and operators could get together in
"a hours and settle their differences at
one sitting" Wallace said. "The strike,
however, would not be called off until
a new wage agreement was reached I
The miners committee, with power
to accept the new agreement, could
call off the strike without referring
the question to a delegate convention,
Wallace said.
president Lewis statement that the
miners would be willing to negotiate
without reservations" he added, sim
ply means that he would start with a
new slate, without regard to previous
demands, which the operators refused
to grant"
"These demands were a fived day
week, six-hour day and a wage in
crease of 90 per cent. Wallace ex-
planned, however, that they were not
arbitrary but put forward as basis
OF negotiation"
Prolonged Tie-up Indicated.
Labor leaders who had taken hope
full view of the strike situation after
hearing of Sampel Gompers' sugges-
tion for a settlement, were plainly dis
turbed by news that the department
of justice would let the injunction
stand. All agreed that it would keep
the strike going for some time. This
also was the view of operators.
Representatives of the mine workers,
counting hopefully on the early end of
court proceedings, were figuring on act
ual steps to adjust differences at scale
committee meetings. As indicating the
desire for peace, the miners agents
thought ii would be necessary for the
Joint conference to be held under the
auspices of the department of labor
their idea being that the two sides
could meet exactly as they did at Buf
falo and Philadelphia before rejection
of demands led to the issuance of the
strike order.
In view of the intention Of the at
torney general not to ask for vacation
of the injunction, labor leaders said
there was no likelihood Of any impor.
tant move before the injunction case
came mp for hearing at indianapolis
Saturday.
Confidential reports to-day to the
department of justice said that 80 PEI
cent more men worked in the Goa
mines in Colorado yesterday than the
day before A number of mines were
said to be running full force.
