conduct its own vote.
At this time I want to appeal

The situation is serious. The existence of thé league is at stake, We
want every paid up league member to vote. We want an cxprees‘fon from every member, The polls

The Newmont mines and the
Scotia and Spring Hill flatly refused to sign a contract which contains a closed shop clause which
we are seeking. 7
The Idaho-Maryland stated if
the majority of its employees voted for us at the election to be conducted by the mine a contract
would be negotiated with us. In
other words the Idaho will be
guided by the vote of its employees.
