lowing a telegrcm from Globe
last night to acting governor
Page, adjutant general Coggins
has notified two local companies
of militia to hold themselves in
readiness to go to Globe at a
moment's notice if the situation
grows worse.
The labor troubles in Globe are
apparently no nearer a settlement
than they were the hour the
mines suspended operations three
days ago.
At a special meeting of the
miners' union, held yesterday, a
committee of five was appointed
to confer with the mine opera

exclusively by former employes
of the Old Dominion.
This action is in conformity
with a statement made by the
owners several days ago that
they would not confer with the
union but would gladly take up
the matter with employes.
