The Reno Ledger states that Con,
troller Davis is the only State on,cer
who has declared himself iniquivocally
for the employment Of union labor on
State work. &-9Es1- ~ i
The Legder is in error regarding
this matter. - S<SS5s s@eI
At q meeting Of the Asylum Board
at Reno on Wednesday, Gov. Sparks
made motion that all, persons hired to
do any kind Of skilled labor at the
Asylum should be required to show
their union cards. "a III
This motion received the unanimous
endorsement Of the Board,
In the matter of the letting Of the
contract for the building Of the Or.
phans' Home the Board was obliged to
follow the law and let to the lowest
bidder. They are unable to control
the employment Of labor, otherwise
than to insist on the legal eight hour
schedule, which they have done.
The Appeal is informed that contract
or Holesworth has stated that he will
employ union labor and pay union
wages on the work.
There is no scab labor being en-
ployed at the Prison nor is there liza
BILE to be.
1t is somewhat difficult to ascer-
tain just what is Union labor and what
is not The Governors motion before
the Asylum Board however goes d.
rectly to the root of the matter in the
proper shape.
A skilled mechanic who does not be-
long to union may state that he does
when he is hired and the employer be
none the wiser. When he is asked for
his card however he must show his
hand and that is just what the Govern
or's resolution compels him to do.
There have been charges of scab
labor being employed by the State and
the Boards have been investigating
these charges and so far have found
very little evidence of it, Sometime in
the rush of work when labor was
scarce men have secured positions
when they were not union men.
The resolution passed by the Asylum
Board however shuts the gates ag-
ainst any further trouble of that sort.
The Appeal suggests that every
State oBard follow the example of the
Asylum Board and adopt similar
resolution.
1t is due from the party in power
to recognize the labor unions OF New
ada. The platform recognizes them
and they gave their, solid support to
the Fusion ticket. The party should
reciprocate these services for the hon.
or and good faith of the party is SO
pledged. .vs.so;4 .g15
The Fusion party of Nevada has
earned the reputation Of keeping faith
with the people and its, platforms
which have always been regarded as
solemn compaetso With the voters.
No party In Nevada can violate It's
campaign declarations and continue
to do business as.aa party. ,l'4ts = Get
