HISTORY OF NEVADA UNIONS
The first Was Formed in Vir-
ginia City in 90

The demonstration on Labor Day in
Reno set the wheels of memory in
motion in the head of j. A. Fitzgerald
of the Palace hotel, and the follow
ing bit of interesting early-day his
tory was dug up, says the Reno Ga
zette.
Unionism in Nevada started in the
infancy of the state, and at the first
of the great Comstock excitement. The
mother union of the state is the Vir-
ginia Miners Union, of Virginia City,
Nevada.
1t was founded at Virginia City on
June 6, 1863 R. d. Ferguson was
made president, w. c. Bateman, vice
president and B. ]. Shay, secretary.
The Gold Hill branch was organized
August 6, 1864, William Woodburn
being made president.
From the first these organizations
included in their membership the
larger part of the miners of the dis
tflct. Inc HTSL utLHOllStIdlAUu was
made on the evening .of July 81, 1864,
and the following day in Gold Hill,
the union made a demand for four
dollars a day.
The Gold Hill Union was Joined by
the Virginia City Union, and the two
unions carried the day.
This was the first stand ever taken
by united labor in the state of Ne
vada.
In the parade on Labor Day in this
city the Virginia and Gold Hill unions
displayed the original banners of the
unions. They were met with cheers
from the spectators and afforded a
great deal of interest at the Palace
hotel after the celebration.
The unions hold these old emblems
at a priceless value and guard them
carefully at all times.

chen on New Facts

WASHINGTON, Sept. Gone of the
persons indicted yesterday by the
Federal grand jury in connection with
the postal investigation is George w.
Beavers, formerly chief of the division
of salaries and allowances. 1t is un-
derstood that the charge is conspiracy.

the names of the four remaining per-
sons who were indicted yesterday it
is said that none of them is or has
been connected with the Postoffice de-
partment and that one is a man of
some prominence.
1t was stated in the city hall to-
day that the climax of the investiga-
tion is to come shortly when a per-
son not connected with the depart
ment but equally as we'll known as
the postmaster general himself, un-
doubtedly will be indicted for compile
ity in the postoffice frauds.
The grand jury began hearing the
evidence in this particular case today
and il is said that when a report is
made it will in all probability con-
Iclude the investigation in Washington.
