Butte, Mont.—Seceders from the
Western Feedrntlon of Miners have
Munched an Independent miners' un­
ion, rejecting peace overtures of Pres­
ident Moyer and associates and eject­
ing ns temporary president M. Mc­
Donald.
A mass meeting was attended by
5000 miners. The report of the exec
utlve committee, In whose hands had
been left the drafting of tho insurg
ente' policy, was adopted without
change.
No official recognition was tnken of
the Western Federation. President
Moyer had no representatives present
to offer compromise and his apparent
advances In naklng for the resignation
of all local miners’ union officials did
not win even consideration from the
Insurgents.
Unofficially It was declared that the

advances from the federation officials
was determined opposition to the na­

•trong desire not to be nffillatcd with
