1t seems that there has been much trou-
bic in some of the mining districts over

pay every two weeks, and others have
check system of payments, under which
the miners are forced to draw most Of
their wages from company store.
The Typographical union was recog-
nized by. the house to the extent3of pass
ing bill which would require that all the
state printing shall bear the label of the
Allied Printing Trades.
The statement is made that revising
committees have been making excellent
progress, but every chapter of the stat
utes that has been changed by the leg
bill. Necessarily this viii consume a
great deal of time. After May members
of the Legislature will cease to receive s.
a day, but will be reduced to 81: 1t has
been the experience of the past that they
soon grow homesick after the reduction
takes place. Coy: Stephens has stated
an extra session of the legislature for the
purpose of revision, and so it seems that
the work must be completed at this seS-
sion or go undone.
