CHIEF WELsH'S STATEMENT.
Chief of the Fire Department John

in the present method Of electing Off
GERS of the Fire Department
Chief Welsh says: THE anti-com-
bination companies are now kicking
over the very thing they brought
about They are responsible for the
combination, as they formed It, and
would now be willing to form another
If they could get another company TO
drop out OF the combination and join

COMPANIES withdrawing.

In the local columns appears let
ter from the German American Insur-
ance Company ithd1awing from this
State and requesting a return OF their
license money. The demand for their
license money is certainly a just apd
reasonable request. as they paid it in
under a law existing at that time. and
this law, under which the agreement
was made when the money was paid;
became a part of the contract.
There is another law. however, on
the tatute books Of Nevada, which
prevents the Controller. who is ex-
oficio Insurance Commissioner, from
drawing d warrant except from fund
for which the Legislature has made
an appropriation. 1t is therefore i'm
possible to return the companies this
money now converted into the eneral
fund. until some succeeding legisla-
ture passes relief bill.
The anti-insurance bill was passed
because the members of the legisia-
trre did not understand the insurance
law and would allow no one to tell
ihem anything about it. They did
not know that the insurer is fully pro-
tected by the clause which allows the
Insurance Commissioner to cancel the
license of any company failing to
keep the contracts in its policy.
1t was also stated that the new law
would prevent the lover insurance -
IN Nevada on which the companies
were now collecting premiums.
1t was in every body's mouth that
Reno alone was insured for nearly
twelve millions of dollars. On this
assumption members of the House
downed Jackson's bill without trying
to ascertain the truth or falsity Of the
statement. They could have invited
the Insurance Commissioner to give
li'lO' ludtlOu Oh We Sup1SCl o.
1ead his report. But they did neither
and the information was not volur
tered, for every time a Stae tflce
showed up in the House he wa:
charged with "of1ensive lobbying.

EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE
BEING SERIOUSLY FELT
Bankers and Business Men Want
the TrG uble Adjusted.

pittsburg, August 16-Serious CON
,.ern is being manifested by the stupcl:-
lolis business interests centered in Pitts
burg over the continuance OF the strike
and the growing menace it presents.
Bankers are becoming anxious, credits
are being frightened, wholesale and retail
merchants are feeling the restriction If
trade caused by the strike. While ir-
repnrable harm has not yet been wrought
theifear is for the future.
The success of the strikers within the
past forty-eight hours in getting out s"v'
,ral thousand additional workers and
the certainty that the number of idle.
men will he alarmingly increased ea'h
lay until the strike is settled, adds to the
uEeasiness. Some of the most prominent
capitalists of the city are now contem
plating united action to bring pressure
to bear on the Steel Trust, demanding
an ending of the strike.
The first effect Of the strike upon in
dustries allied to steel, iron and tin plate
making are now appearing. The great
roke industry ut COnnellsville, employing
thousands of men. is beginning to feel
it. For the first time in four years there
will he a clay off, of one day each
week in the coke region until further no
ticc. Further more, number of coke
works are closing. Five roke work
closed yesterday. Nine were ordered
shut down today. The Baltimore and
Ohio, the Pennsylvania and the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Railroads have beni
notified of these shut downs, and TIL,
next thing will he the laying off Of trail:
.rews. The ramiications of the steel in
| ,lustry are SO extensive that it is diff
cult to estimate the disastrous effect
OF Il great fight like this upon allied Labor
nor to accurately compute the great army
Of idle men whose ranks are recruited b,
regiments and not by companies.
