Governor Gooding’ 3 Request to Gomme.
pers and Mitehell
WASHINGTON, March 31. — Presl
dent Gompers of the American Feder.
ation of Labor has declined the Invi
tation extended to him and to Pres) |
dent Mitchell of the United Mine Work-
ers of America by Governor Gooding
of Idaho to appoint a committee fo
meet at Pocatello to investigate con:
ditions growing out of the charges of
colspiracy between state officials and
uilue owners to punish Innocent men
Tor the assassination of Governor Steg
penberg. Governor Golding referred to
the confessions of Orchard aud Adams
President Gompers telegraphed Gov-
ernor Gooding as follows: “Rurely if
Orchard and Adaids csupot give de
talls of confession what benefit can
result froin Mr. Mitchell's and wy
hearing their general statement. In
auy event such statements would only
be ex parte without cross examination
and without being confronted with the
accused wen, The justification or the
general suspicion lies in their unlawful
extradition and bLrutal kidoaping from
thelr howes and state
Governor Gooding's telegram to Mr.
Gowperx follows:
“Great agitation caused by the ar
rest of Moyer, Havwood and Pett
bone of the Western Federation of
Miners among labor unions of the
United States and charges of conspira-
cy between state officials apd mine
owners of the west to punish Innocent
men for the assassination of Governor
Steunenberg has induced me to invite
you and John Mitchell to appoint a
committee to Investigate the conditions
here
“Will offer such cammitteé opportu
plties to see Orchard and Adams and
hear from thelr lips the statements
that they have made. Confession Im
plicating the accused meu in numer
ous murders and that po clemency bas
been offered. You understand, of
course, details of the coufession can-
not be told to any committee or made
public until told in trial of the cases
“l do this because | belleve in fair
ness of the membership of labor or
ganizations. 1 eall your attention to
my statement in a dispatch of March
23. Will you do Idaho the justice and
me the honor of appointing such com-
mittee to meet here?
ON A WAR BASIS.
Mine Owning Rallronds Will Fight
Strikers to a Finlab,
NEW YORK. March 31. Following
the announceinent that a strike of min
ers in the anthracite coal regions had
been called for gext Mouday It became
kuown that at least three of the mine
owning railroads have placed thelr
various properties on a “war basis”
and are prepared to wan the eld with
strike breakers under a guard, the
strength of which Is unprecedentad in
the regions ”
Another developiuent of the situation
cousists of the fact that there is a
strong feeling among the operators in
favor of refusing to agree to a weer
ing of the joint committee on Tuesday,
April 3, as requested by Joho Mitchell,
president of the United Mive Workers,
unless the strike order Is rescinded
pending the conference
The operators who do not wish to
meet the miners’ committee of seven
are unanimous in declaring that Mr
AMitcliell asked first for the joint meet
ing, with the tacit vuderstandiug that
no strike be declared until after the
deliberations had been completed
They contend that he has shown bad
falth in calling a strike for Monday,
before the weeting possibly could be
