Perhaps the people «>f Rampart will
come to u better understanding of one
another and the renditions under which
they have been trying to live after the
presant trouble is over. There are a
good many sides to the eases that are
coming up which will bear some plain
criticism when the proper time comes.
It will be a matter much to be re
gretted if through false ideas the opera
tors and the wage workers of the Tanana
allow themselves to be drawn into a
contention that may result in a serious
loss to all. If the breach becomes too
wide to be closed it will prove a costly
thing to the operators and may be detri
mental to the cause of labor for years
to come. If men on either side of such
affairs would start out with a clear real
ization that the matter in hand is pure
ly a business transaction, in which it is
more pleasant and profitable to bargain
in a business-like and gentlemanly way
than to go about it in a contentious and
illiberal spirit, there would be fewer
strikes. However, if the miners have
resolved to sell their labor only on cer
tain conditions and at a given price, and
the operators will not buy under the
terms offered, there is nothing left but
for each party to do the best they can
and the one stuff off their wares at a
disadvantage while the other scrimps
along on inferior and inade peitc ma
terial. It is simply a miscarriage of
business. _

OPERATORS
ORGANIZING
FA1HFANKS, May 8.—The mine op
erators are holding a meeting to form a
central bureau to rcaist the demands of
the striking miners. They v. ill not give
the tan hour scale. There is evidence
that the strikers are weakening. The
operators declare they will bring men
from the outside rather than he dicta
ted to.
A $1,300 nugget has been found on
Dome creek.
REGARDING MEMBERSHIP
IN MINERS ASSOCIATION
In a letter to (ieorge \V. Ledger, pres
ident of the Rampart Miners Associa
tion, John Ionian, president of the
Tanana Miners Association, said:
“Eligibility to membership in our as
sociation is confined to those who are
either working in or operating his own
claims, or prospecting. In fact, any
person whose principal occupation is
mining, in any capacity, is eligible to
membership. A person may engage in
any other business temporarily or per
manently, and become or retain his
membership, provided mining remains
his principal occupation and he gives it
his personal attentiod. . . I also en
close copy of constitution and by-laws,
and copy of amendments, and will say
that they have been interpreted very
lib rally so that every miner in every
part of the Tanana valley is eligible ”
Mr. Unnun’s letter was printed in the
Fairbanks Times, among correspondence
of the two presidents looking to a fed
eration of the different associations.
