Funston Warns on Goldfield Situation Martial Law Not Immediate
General Funston told Goldfield citizens that trouble could worsen between wine owners and miners and that troops may be needed to patrol the mines and city streets. He disputes calls for immediate martial law, plans to send a second Washington report, and says troops will protect all workers from violence. Local groups urge his continued presence, while a rival volunteer flank forms amid rumors of punitive actions and a union clash. The Mine Owners Association maintains the card system and demands workers renounce the Western Federation of Miners, with unions citing Nevada law about currency and payments.
