We feel that the only way to relieve the local situation of the minâ€" ers, in view of post experienes when the price of gold was increased, is for the local miners union to get so orâ€" ganized as to make their demands heard and thus bring about a raiss in wages." The alteration in the new proposed location of the TCA.C. were estimated to cost approximately $700.00. . Tha council considered the tco high and consequently the TCA.C. will reâ€" main where they are now. "Other than the method I‘ve already mentioned, we have for years pressed for the bringing of new industries to absorb the workers that are now idle.
