GOLDFIELD. Nev., .Dec. 19. The mine
owners of Goldfleld will listen to the pro
position that O. N. Hilton, of ' Henver,
Bctins for the Western Federation . of
Miners has presented, though there is
small probability that any compromise
can be made at this late day. .
A letter was received by the. Goldfleld
Mineowners' Association this .-afternoon
from Mr. Hilton, asking that a meeting
at which he' may be present to present
the proposition of the Federation be ar
ranged. No reply has yet been sent but
President Dowlen stated tonight that a
reply will be sent In the morning- and
that it will be favorable to such a
meeting.
What the proposition is which Mr.
Hilton has to offer has not been revealed,
but the mineowners are emphatic In their
statement that no compromise looking to
the abandonment of the' position taken by
them, that any miner who goes to work
must renounce the Western Federation,
will . be accepted.
Secretary Erb also issued a statement
tonight, as follows: '
"The position taken by the Mineowners'
Association, which has been given to the
public and published through the press,
is Irrevocable. While the association is
willing to receive Mr. Hilton and discuss
the situation with binj the association can
not reconsider the position it has taken.'.'
Mr. Hilton has stated that he is
authorized to make important conces
sions, even to remove some of the mem
bers of the Western Federation who may
be considered by the Mineowners .Asso
ciation as agitators, from the camps.
The mines have, been in operation today
and are working; tonight with about the
same number of men as were at work
yesterday..
No considerable number of men to
break the strike has been brought in as
yet. General Funston left today for San
Francisco.
President Roosevelt has asked for more
information , regarding conditions here
forthwith, and telegrams are being sent
to him from, all of the civic organiza
tions, the Mineowners' Association, the
local Miners' Union and the commission
sent to investigate the situation.
