ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
VS BOUNTY ON WOLVES
Since the appropriation for the pur ’
pose was made by the legislature on
the first oj April last, bounties hav*'
been paid on 66 wolf pelts ut the of
fice of the territorial treasurer. Tin
amount of money expended for this
purpose has been $990, as a bounty of
$15 is paid on each wolf.
Since April 1, 200 sets of eagles
feet have been turned in, and th*
bounty of 50 cents each paid on each
set, making a total of $600 paid f<»
this purpose.
Most of the wolves on which bountr
was paid wen' killed in the First di
vision, although some have come fror*
the Interior in the vicinity of Tnnuue
Crossing and sections near there.
Of the 1,200 eagles killed, nearly
all were killed in the First division.
Indications are that the eagles are be
ing killed off, and are scarcer, as thii
year the bounty was claimed on sev
oral thousand less than last year.

Nov., 10— The General committee of
the Mine Workers is meeting late this
afternoon discussing the mandatory
order of the court, on the injunction,
regarding the strike of coal miners be
rescinded by tomorrow at 6 o’clock, j
No intimation of what action the com- *
raittee will take is given out.
WASHINGTON, Nov., 10— Labor
leaders here predict that the United |
Mine Worker’s officials will not end
the coal strike.
WASHINGTON, Nov, 10— The j
American Federation of Labor offic-1
ialfl hold the coal strike was justified J
and they state the injunction was so
autocratic as to stagger the human ,
mind. The officials asks the public to
support the strikers and promise# the
strikers the Federation will support
them.
In promising all of the American
Federation of Labor's support to the
striking coal miners, the officials say
the Lester act, under which the gov
ernment acted in the injunction pro
ceedings, was never enacted into a law
to apply to workers.1
The,Federation officials said the ap
plication of the Lester act against the
miner was an injustice to all liberty
loving Americans. The American Fed
eration officials claim the Mine Union
officials did everything iu their power
to avert a strike.
The Federation officials reserved
"merit on the government's action
and said 2200 miners were delegates
to the convention which declared the
strike, they representing 600,000 min
ers.
