Entrenched for Battle They

ARErf ASKING. FOR
A WAGE -INCREASE
Bingham Utah Sept r9. A foreign
army fortified and determined held
undisputed possession of. the copper.
ltad and silver mines of Bingham when
the second day of the miners' strike for
a 25 cent increase in pay and recogni-
tion of their union dawned.
Kfforts to open communication -with
the entrenched Greek miners this
afternoon failed. A newspaper man
who started up the- hill toward them
was stopped by bullets. John Stan-
opolis supposed to be one of the com-
manders of the "garrison attempted
to negotiate for the entire supply of
guns in the Bingham general store.
Noon of the second strike day found
the governor of Utah with the state
board of labor conciliation and arbi-
tration breaking speed records toward
the camp anxious to restore order be-
fore the growing passions of the 3000
striking miners and the force of 250
deputy sheriffs should lead to loss of
life or destruction of property.
Threat of Open Battle.
The chief deputy in charge had at
that hour threatened to storm the
miners' stronghold on the mountain
side. It was the desire of the state
officials to get to the scene and try
persuasion before a battle should be
precipitated.
The morning's news indicated that
the strikers were not bloodthirsty but
were enjoying their 'temporary ascend-
ancy over their former bosses by
shooting recklessly and pushing intimi-
dation to the limit of forbearance.
There were stories of attempted mur-
ders the sequestration of 65 cases of
dynamite taken from storehouses at
the mines an order for the arrest of
president Moyer of the miners and
that the armed miners had been di-
rected by their leaders to shoot depu-
ties to kill. Some of these reports
are known to be false and the others
do not come from responsible sources.
Moyer Is Active.
One rumor which created excitement
for a time was that president iloyer
of the miners had disappeared after
his arrival In Salt .Lake and that
Clarence S. Darrow who stopped in
Salt Lake on his way east from the
(.oast to deliver a"" lecture was not to
be found at his hotel.
Moyer exploded this sensation by
tisitiiig the office of goyeraor Spry
just before the start -was -made for
Bingham. His conv'.ersaUo'n with the
btate officials waspri-ate but he re-
marked to newspaper men after the
conference th'at the strike would be
settled.
Mr Darrow returned to his hotel
at noon. He may meet Moyer thi3
afternoon as it 'was he -who defended
Moyer and other federation officers
in the bteunenberg murder trial.
Just before president Moyer took the J
train this morning for Salt Lake to
meet the governor he was notified
by deputy sheriff Steele that if the
miners were not down from their
mountain fortress soon an attack
would be made by the deputies.
Strikers Die Breaslvtorlis.
While the army thousands strong
and speaking many tongues dug
breastworks strengtnened its picket
lines and -worked out a rough form of
military discipline during the morning
there was activity in the offices of the
mining company the headquarters of
the county and state officials.
Tbere was much promiscuous firing
from the pits opposite the Utah copper
works this morning. About 1000 men
were entrenched there. George- "W.
Dwyer. superintendent of the Utah Cop-
per and some of the bookkeepers went
to the mine and were not molested. All
of the property of the mining com-
panies is undamaged and the Utah-
Apex company is working as usual un-
der an agreement with the union.
Deputy sheriffs were sent in as fast
as they can be recruited. It was
planned to make a flank attack on the
:ifle pits as soon as sufficient force
could be mustered to drive the strikers
down the mountain into the canyon.
Many reports- of the ferocity of the
strikers proved upon investigation this
morning to be exaggerations due to
excitement. "It was Said that superin-
tendent Schilling and his son. Jed of
the Utah Copper were targets for at
ltast 20 3hots when they started for the
mine. It .appeared however that the
shots -were fired to intimidate rather
than to injure the men. They were
not hit.
GOVERNOR OF UTAH WILL
SEEK TO ARBITRATE STRIKE
Salt Lake City Utah. Sept 19. Arbi-
tration of the Bingham strike -was dis-
cussed at the governor's conference to-
day. Governor Spry expressed reluct-
ance at the idea of calling the militia.
It was stated that the Salt Lake com-
panies could be entrained in three
hours if necessary. The Private secre
tary of general manager Jackllng rep- T
resentea tne utan uopper company in
the conference.
That the militia should not be called
out until all other means of settling
the Bingham strike had been exhausted
and that the board of conciliation and
arbitration headed by the governor
should leave at once for Bingham to
confer with the strike leaders was the
decision of the governor's conference
this morning.

Roosevelt Says He Misstates
. Facts About the Progres-
sive Platform.
ASSERTS TRUSTS ARE
FOR TAFT OR WILSON
Trinidad Colo. Sept. 19. A flat de-
nial attributed to Woodrow "Wilson
Democratic presidential nominee in re-
gard to the Progressive party's atti
tude toward the trusts was made by
Col. Rdosevelt in a speech here today.
He said NGov. Wilson had made state-
ments -which were not in accordance
with the facts. He said Gov. Wilson
was quoted as saying in a speech at
Sioux Falls S. D. that the Progressive
plan would work for the interests of
the large corporations and would give
them control of the market for labor.
' -Saya Facts Are Misstated.
Discussing this. Col. Roosevelt said:
"Air. Wilson should be above mis-
stating facts in order to bolster up his
arguments. Iii his speech yesterday he
stated that the method now proposed
by- the Progressives to regulate the
trusts was suggested by Messrs. Gary
and Perkins before the committee of
the house of representatives to look
into the steel trust. And he suggested
that if was done to save the United
States Steel corporation from the ne-
cessity of dding its business better than
its competitors.
"Neither of these statements is in ac-
cordance with facts.
"Not Dnce only but again and again
in messages to congress and in speech
after speech when I was president 1
advocated the method-advocated by the
Progressives for handlinsr the trust
question which is practically the prin-
ciple applied in the interstate com-
merce commission.
Asserts Trusts Oppose Him.
"I -wish to call attention at this time
to the fact that as far as I know the
overwhelming majority of men who
control both the steel corporation and
the Harvester trust are supporting
either Mr. Wilson himself or Mr. Taft.
They are certainly opposing me; in-
deed so far as I know the only man
connected with either organization who
is supporting me is Mr. Pcrkin3 him-
self. "I do not question that the heads of
both trusts are sincere in supporting
Mr. Taft or Mr. Wilson but I do wish
to point out that Mr. Wilson and Mr.
Taft occupy substantially the same at-
titude toward the trusts and this atti
tude is tf such proved harmlessness
that I am not in the least surprised
that any trust which objects to honest
and effective regulation should support
eitner or.notn or tnem lnairrerently as
against me.
"Mr. "Wilson has not offered any ac-
tion differing in any essential point
from the action taken by the present
administration against the Standard Oil
trust. The only result of that action
taken by the present administration
against the Standard Oil trust was to
leganize that monopoly.
Conditions of Laborers.
Mr. WIlsoi. further said that unoVr I
the Progressive platform the corpora- t
tions -would control the market for la-
bor and stated that the only chance
for laoor is in competition. If Mr.
Wilson were a man with a personal and
working knowledge of the conditions
and surroundings of labor if he knew
at first hand how working men live
and what their needs are such a state-
ment on his part -would be wholly in-
excusable. But Mr. Wilson's statement
Is based evidently only. on abstract rea-
soning for -what a certain class of
laissez faire political economists have
written and it is made without even
considering the workings of the laws
now on the statute books. He says that
the legislation we propose -would put
the Working "man in the power of the
big industrial concerns.
Reckless Competition.
"Has the interstate commerce law
put the working man more in the
power of the railroads? If it has then
it is Mr. Wilson's business to advocate
the repeal of the interstate commerce
law. If- it has not. and no man with
an atom of sense imagines it has then
Mr. Wilson should in frank and manly
fashion at once admit that he has made
a rather absurd mistake. He is a be-
liever in the outworn doctrine of the
benefits of unlimited and reckless com-
petition. As a matter of fact every
wise leader of labor and friend of la-
bor knows that such unlimited and
reckless competition spells ruin for the
majority of wage workers. That is
why In the Progressive platform we ad-
vocate - the really practical measures
for giving to the average vraj. worker
a living wage.
"Mr. Wllpon is championing the cause
of the big crooked trusts when he op-
poses the Progressive plank for extend-
ing the powers of government over the
big trusts just as it is being extended
over the railroads."
WILSON NOW THINKS
TIMES ARE CHANGING
Governor of New Jersey Who Practiced
Law in Georgia Will Meet Tyrus
Codd at Detroit
Chicago 111. Sept. 19. "Plainly the
times are changing1" declared governor
Woodrow Wilson on his arrival here in
reference to his receptions on his tour
which he said wore "the greatest gather-

tered public life." The goiernor spoke
particularly about liis visits to Minne-

-Explanation of the rebel rout at Ojl-

flight of -the senior Orozco and several
staff officers of the junior Orozco to
"Texas has been received in El Paso
by rebel sympathizers In a letter from
Gen. Orozco. The general is still at
the head of his troops in Mexico.
In his communication to rebel
agents here Gen. Orozco said that he
had heard of - the capture by United
States troops' at Presidio Texas of
his staff officers including his father.
He explained the cause of his- defeat
at Ojinaga and declared that he had
succeeded in gathering his forces and
moving down the Conchos river with
few losses of men or horses.
General Orozco reported that only
his advance had participated in the
fight at Ojinaga and that after the
first victory when he was about to
bring up his main body of men. the
rebel advance participated in a "fies-
ta." and rank too heavily of native
liquor. At this time Gen. Auberfs
main column arrived. The federal ad-
vance consisting of volunteers uni-
formed in "brown as are the insurrec-
tos made a flank movement on the
main column of the rebels and were
mistaken for the rebel advance return-
ing. When the supposed friends opened
fire Orozco's men stampeded in a
panic in the night and It was not un-
til the next day that the rebel leader
had succeeded In reorganizing his
forces. His father CoL Orozco and
the general's other officers were said
to -have become cut off by the enemy
and forced to take refuge on the
American side as did many members
of the advance guard.
The threw their rifles into
the river and attempted to swim
the stream. Many are believed
to have met death in' the -waters.
This Orozco asserts is his only ma-
terial loss as result of the two day's
engagement. Orozco is said to remain
in command of more than 1000 men.
YAQUIS CAPTURE
TOWN OF ALTAR
Are Said to Have Killed Women and
Children Campa I Reported "Bot-
tled" "Up by the. Federals.
Xogalez. Ariz Sept. 19. Yaqui In-
dians according to reports here cap-
"turea Altar capital of the district of
that name in Sonora and. after looting
the place slaughtered men. women and
children unmercifully. Whether any
Americans were harmed is not stated
It appears Improbable however that
the Indians had any part in the capture
of the town as Emilio Campa was re-
ported to have left there yesterday for
the town of Boludo 60 miles west of
Santa Ana. on the Southern Pacif.c
railroad. There are a half dozen Amer-
icans at Boludo. including a son of for-
mer judge Fletcher M. Doan. of Douglas
who is operating a mine there.
Mexican - officials report that Maj
Glron left Cananea yesterday morning
and has gone to the Altar district to
assist Majs. Ojeda and Caxnbroros to
catch Campa. They state that the fed-
erals have campa bottled up south and
east and will drive him to the gulf but
local residents familiar with federal
tactics think the bottle will be left un-
corked as was done with Orozco in Chi-
huahua and- that Campa will be ba. k
burning bridges while the federals have
him "bottled" out on the desert
TWO REBELS ESCAPE
FROM DOUGLAS JAIL
Douglas. Ariz. Sept 19. Col. Ra-
mon Vasquez and Capt. TeodOro Rodri-
guez held here for conspiracy to vio-
late the neutrality laws sawed thel1"
way out of jail some time last night
The men. who were arrested here
last July for alleged participation in
the socalled Vasquez Gomez conspir-
acy were to have been taken to El Paso
today to stand trial.
When the deputy United States mar-
shal visited the jail to notify them to
be in readiness to take the train he
found that both had gone. No other
prisoners escaped.
The manner In which the escape was
made indicated clearly that the alleged
conspirators received assistance from
the outside. Vasquez and Rodriguez
are believed to have crossed the inter-
national line In an attempt to join the
rebels who are mobilizing at Coloma
Morelos.
