BUFFALO swITcHMEN OUT.
Lehigh Valley Men Do Not Like Po-
lice Surveillance


BUFFALO, ". Y, Nav 22-Iate last
night Buffalo strike was launched that
threatens more serious consequences than
any declared thus far The switchnen
employed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
about one hundred in all, went out whirs
the nnachinists were considering their
strike at meeting in International Hall
The excuse given by the swftchmen for
striking is that they did not like the police
surveillance imposed by the road under
the pTeteEt that it was made nececsa ~
by the machinists' strike
It Is asserted. however that the real
reason is that the switchmen have gone
out on a sympathetic strike with the ma
chinists. This assertion is borne out BY
the admission OF labor people that the
switchnen have made no demands for in
creased pay or shorter hours and have no
grievances whatsoever. The switchmen.
in substantiatiOn Of their contention that
the police are the cause of the trouble, it
is said, viii return to work as soon as the
police guards are withdrawn from the
yards. The road is not Inconvenience Sc
riously thus far by the strike.
In the yards of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad police also
are patroIIing and no strike has been de-
clared. Machinists admit they would not
be surprised if the switchmen went on
strike there for similar reasons
The situation regarding the machinists'
strike is about the same as yesterday. ex-
cept that the strikers seem worried be-
cause ron-union men are being employed
in many Of the shops This is the case
at the Buffalo Pitts Company, where the
non-union men Outnumber the union men.
Considerable significance is attached TO
the action of the machinists at their
meeting last night in placing a ban on
all riotins and hot-heGJed action. 1t Is
said there viii be 10 machi, .sts strike in
the shops of the New York Central Rail
road, the Pullman shops at East Buffalo,
or in the Eric Railroad shnns

A Washington dispatch of March

This is project to build large reser-

reclamation Of the fertile lands on the
Nevada side. Chief photographer F.
II. Newell said to-day that the lack Of
conservation of the water sources ac-

will begin operations shortly will work
along the Truckee, Carson and Walker

ume OF streams. the capacity of reser-
voirs and estimate the cost Of build
ing them. In the valleys the water
which can be used to best advantage
will be utilized.

HAVE THEY BEEN NEGLIGENT,
The Carson News Alleges That AS
SCISSORS Have Mos Assessed Prop

SCISSORS Have Mos Assessed Prop
erIy.
The Assessors OF the various coun-
ties in this State met in Carson last
Monday, as State Board of Equaliz-
alton, in compliance with the require
ments of the recently passed Revenue
Law.
The Carson News has been looking
over the tax rolls and finds by the
record that the Assessors in several OF
the counties have been negligent in
their duties in assessing property.
The data which the News has pre-
sented is good matter for opening the
question, and will materially aid that
body in sscertaining the officers
whom it alleges have been derelict in
their duties. Following is the arti-
Gle from the News in relation thereto !:
The Board will find interesting con-
ditions confronting them. For ex-
ample, il it should secure possession
of the Southern Pacific railroads g year
ly statement, it will be seen that more
cattle were shipped from Nevada last
year than have been in it according
to the assessment roll) since Nevada
has been q State. In other words, the
rolls show less cattle belonging to own
ers in the State than we're shipped out
and sold in the markets. Under these
figures it is safe to say that at least
one-half of the cattle in Nevada were
not assessed. The assessors have ne
elected their duty to this extent. and
it probably means several millions Of
dollars in taxable property.
Again, by this same record, they
will find that three or four sheep own
ers sold more sheep than were taxed
in all the fourteen counties. Therefore
the assessors have plainly been negli-
gent in their duty to the tune of per-
haps some more millions OF dollars
worth OF sheep.
This record should show that one
man who is assessed for $4,000 all
told, sold in one direction over $50, 900
worth of one product from his place
last year. He probably should be
rated at from quarter to half mil
lion.
One estate appraised at over half a
million is assessed for less than $780,
900; and there is at least one more
that will show about the same, in the
western part Of the State.
One piece OF property assessed in
this State for s.. .00O. 900 is bonded for
more than $42 100000. II certainly is
worth the sum for which it is paying
interest on bonds; therefore $37 ,00O,-
900 in taxable property has been with
held from the State in one lump.
Nearly 1900, 900 acres Of land, most
Of which is valuable. at least worth the
$l.25 the government would ask for 1t,
is assessed at IL cents per acre, and
the State loses 81, 900, 900 worth of tax
able property.
Just these few items, which the
News calls attention to, would double
the valuation OF the whole State OF
Nevada, and, of course, reduce the
rate one-half.
When half dozen bits OF property
are escaping taxation that would raise
the valuation OF the State one-half, to
say nothing about the hundreds OF
other instances that could be quoted,
it looks as though the Board OF Asses
sors had something to do.
