Goldfield Labor Tensions Drive Mine Reopenings
In Goldfield and Carson Nevada on January 11 the smelter trust offered to buy up to 100 in value per claim and pay cash, with the rest in forty five days, spurring several mines to restart. About 200 new workers, largely former Western Federation members, joined the mines as Federation pickets urge quits. The U S circuit court began an injunction case against the Miners Union of Goldfield, with affidavits accusing the union of contributing to labor trouble and high grading, to resume Monday.
