soon, the INSCRIPTIONS traders who
are responsible for the deliberate
sending out false reports have added
another false alarm to fris item invest
ors out OF their stocks and thus allow
the Shorts" to cover at exceedingly
low prices
The latest report is to the effect
that there will be another strike
! pulled within few days. This re-
| port is unqualifiedly false. In care
ful canvas OF the men working in the
mills at Tonopah and Divide there
has been noted an almost univer-
sal chorus of satisfaction. True, there
are many members Oh the |. w. w.

chronic indictments. but their in
fluence is gradually lessened until
they no longer believe in the promises
OF their self-imposed leaders. With
the company store in operation and
the reports coming in of the lowering
of the costs of the necessaries of life,
there is no occasion, as many of the
miners and millmen state for any feel
ing than of great satisfaction, and
they are proving it by adding daily to
the numbers enrolled in the newly
