The strike of employees em-ployees of the Judge Mining company, caused by a sudden flareup of racial animosity, ended just as quickly as it started. Workers actually employed by the Judge company agreed unanimously unani-mously at a meeting Sunday afternoon to return to work Monday. This decision de-cision followed a meeting of employes with representatives of the management manage-ment of the Judge mine and the Park Utah Consolidated Mines company, of which the Judge is a subsidiary. In that Sunday was "change day", during which time no under-surface work is done, the strike lasted but two shifts, that of Saturday night and Sunday. Sun-day. There was no disturbance of any kind during the day or the evening. The opportunity presented for amicable amic-able settlement of dilticulies prevented prevent-ed disorder and euabled the employees and representatives of the management manage-ment to smoot out difficulties, that coolheaded second thought and analysis analys-is greatly minimized. Resolutions which ask that preference prefer-ence be given Americans seeking employment, em-ployment, that the English language be spoken on the company's properties and that the management cooperate with employees in ridding the community com-munity of lawless characters, were passed unanimously by the workers and concurred in by representatives of the management. The meeting of men actually employed em-ployed at the Judge mine was held at the Elks' temple at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, with Paul Hunt, general superintendent of the Park Utah Consolidated Con-solidated mines company, and George Kruger, superintendent of the Judge, it attendance. This conference followed fol-lowed an open-air mass meeting, held at 1 o'clock, and attended by less than 200 employees of the Judge. A singular singu-lar method of voting at this meeting resulted in an agreement to strike. Two men were delegated to stand, one at each end of the platform, to receive the vote. Those voting in favor of striking were instructed to register their votes with the man on one side of the platform, while thos6 opposed to the strike were to vote with the man" on the other end. This method resulted in a public registration registra-tion of the individual vote, and as sentiment at this general meeting was in favor of the strike, the vote was 190 for the strike and two against. As the first meeting had not fully recorded the sentiment of all the Judge workers, the 500 employees assembled, as-sembled, at the second meeting at the Elks' club. It developed at the second meeting that only one man of the original orig-inal strikers' committee, appointed Saturday night, is an employee of the Judge company. |
