» I A H T W ITH NON UNION MEN
Owners Will Open Up Goldfiald Mines
WdUncstuy
Goldfield, Dec. 10.- Wednesday
has been definitely decided upon as
the day for reopening the mines in
Goldfield.
An authoritative statement was
made tonight that already sufficient
men are on the ground to work the
mine«. The total number o f those
that have been quietly brought In
and those who have secretly made
application to return to their former
positions Is placed at 1000. There
are about 1,500 Western Federation
men out. The tneu who ure to take
the places of the strikers are not to
be housed at the uiiiies, but will be
scattered through the camp and pro­
tected, for each individual will be
guaranteed protection by the Mine-
owners’ Association.
Two propositions have been posi­
tively decided upon, the making of
an open camp for nil time and the
early lowering o f the wage scale. At
the same time the M iniowners’ As­
sociation is going to begin a vigor­
ous crusade to lower the cost o f liv­
ing in Goldfield.
