"PORCUPINE MINERS VOTE FOR STRIKE," Cobalt Daily Nugget. November 15, 1912. Page 1 & 3. --- General Strike is Called Over Question of Wage Reduction ---- The miners of the Porcupine camp at the close of the counting of yesterday's ballot, the result of an all day poll, were found to have voted solid for a general strike throughout the camp.

The men are already called out and in a day or two there will be practically no work in operation in the camp except that being performed by prospectors and claim holders, who are not connected with organized companies. The strike comes as a severe blow to the camp. Porcupine had just reached the period when it had practically recovered fully from the effects of the fire of the summer of 1911. The Hollinger mine has just reached the dividend paying basis and had announced that this dividend would be kept up at the rate of three percent every four weeks. Other dividend declarations were expected soon but unless some solution of the present trouble is discovered the conditions now prevailing in the camp all of an optimistic to be - will be sadly changes.

The origin of the strike just called dates back a number of weeks. The mines in the Pearl Lake section of the camp gave the required notice that they would reduce the wages to conform with those paid in other parts of the camp. This change affected the men at the Plenaurum, Jupiter, Pearl Lake, McIntyre, McEnaney and Vinond mines. The matter was immediately taken up by the miners union and a board of conciliation was appointed by the Government to adjust the difficulties. The board consisted of Sec. Thompson of the Porcupine local, Prof. H. E. T. Haultain and Peter McDonald, of Woodstock. After protracted sittings this board failed to arrive at an agreement. The matter then went to the department of labor and since then matters have dragged along until the vote of yesterday

About 1000 men are out on strike. These may be enumerated among the principal mines of the camp as follows: Jupiter 25. Pearl Lake 20 at resent, Plenaurum, 30, McIntyre 60 it present, underground operations being held up for mill, McEnaney 80, Hollinger 300, Vipond 50, Dome 300, Dome Lake 60, Dome Extension 25. Hughes 10, Three Nations 20, Porcupine Lake 50, Hollinger Reserve 50 and Krist 10. Other smaller properties are also affected the total thus being made up to about 1000 including every union man in the camp and a number who are not members of the union.

The miners give the returns from the conciliation board as the reason for the strike. They claim that the schedule in force in Porcupine has been the same as the union schedule in Cobalt, although this schedule is not in effect everywhere in Cobalt. A notice of the proposed reduction in wages was not satisfactory to the employes and the matter was refer red to the board mentioned above and its report as returned from the department was unsatisfactory to members of the union. It was put to a referendum vote and it was unanimously decided to go out.

Some of the mine managers state that while the new scale adopted was 25 cents in advance of the average wages in the Cobalt camp with a little extra charge for board, there will be no compromise with the men and that the only terms that will now be agreed to will be those in force in Cobalt. Some of the mines had added small forces getting workmen up from the south in anticipation of the trouble.
