OF course the community is we'll aware
of the deadlock which at present pre-
walls in mining matters in this district.
1t is also quite apparent that times are
growing feariully dull in consequence.
How long this state of affairs is to con-
tinue no one knows, but certain ii is that
the end should be reached without unne-
cessary delay. There are always two
sides to every question, and usually both
parties to every disagreement have a
showing of right to sustain them.
As we understand 1t, the chief and whole
object Of the Miners Union IA first es.
tablished in Storey county, was to see to
it that every miner who went below the
surface was to receive four dollars, and
no less, for his days work. Pick-boys,
and those engaged in light work on the
surface. have always been exempted from
this rule. The miners OF Ruby Hill, we
think, went too far when they insisted
that the companies should employ none
but Union men. They also committed
an indiscretion in interfering with the
Richmond contract work. So long as the
companies yield TO their demand and
pay the highest wages, they should be
allowed, as ii is their undoubted right
to employ whom they please. We are
now informed that every miner on the
Hill has joined the Union, SO that a,
least one point Of difference has been re-
moved. The companies have also signi
fed willingness to continue to pay -four
dollars per day. This brings the thinl
down to single issue as regards certain
contracts in one mine. The miners, w
have no doubt, will. on mature delibera
ton, revoke their decision on this point
and thus allow the district. upon which
all other business is dependent to pro
coed as usual. A brief resolution OF tn
miners setting forth willingness to com
ply with the programme We have herr
imperfectly mapped out would cure tn
whole matter and give them the heart.
