NEvADA's LABOR QUESTION.

II is TO be hoped the settlement of
the labor disturbances at Goldfeld will
be made permanent and satisfactory
and that there will be no further cause
for uncertainty as TO the future Of the
Nevada camps on this score. Though
1t is not clear how the trouble arose, II
IS evident that dissensions among the
workmen's unions and an attempt of
pne organization TO monopolize the field
was the primary factor. and that this
attempt was resented by such old and
well established unions as the Typo
graphical union was only natural.
AS we understand it, the Industrial
Workers in a boycott against a Tono-
pah newspaper. extended their fight 20
a Goldfeld newspaper owned by the
came man, and attempted to prevent
the Typographical union workers from
continuing to get out the Goldfeld pa
per. The printers resented the attempt
and were supported by the business
men and mine owners of the commune

closing Of the mines until the difficulty
could be adjusted.

cate that the shines will be reopened.
hut do not disclose the basis of settle
ment. some details Of which remained
TO be adjusted. The reports also sug-
gest that "high-grading" i'm the camps
has complicated the situation. High
grading is the euphonious way of de
scribing the theft Of high-grade ore.
and the practice has been one of the
curses Of every rich camp in this coun-
try since the beginning of mining. No
honest maj defends it. yet it is diff
cult to prevent the practice because
men do not like to be suspected when
they are honest, and the thieves shield
themselves behind this natural dislike
OF the honest men to submit to rules
for the prevention of theft.
The prosperity of Nevada's camps
depends upon the stability of their OPP
erations and the protection of the
stockholders from dishonesty. and the
honest miners who are in an over
whelming majority owe it to them
selves and their employers to see that
the high-graders are driven out or
stopped in their thievery. There should

! ARoR,s POLITICAL PROBLEM.

An initial experience in politics as a
game was afforded the local Federation
of Labor In the suggestion that IL affili-
ate with the american" party in this
campaign. A committee appointed to
formulate a plan for Independent action
and an independent ticket, reported
with a suggestion that it might be best
TO Join with some party that would give
the Federation representation. Inquiry
developed the fact that some member
or members Of the committee had been
approached by representatives Of the
american" party with a view to a
coordination of forces. Very naturally
a query was raised as to the reason for
such suggestion when the committee
was under instructions to plan an indie
pendent campaign, but no voluble reply
was forthcoming, and it was finally de-
cided to call mass meeting for con-
sideration OF the matter.
Doubtless the Democratic and Repub-
1ican campaign managers would be
glad to give the labor unions repre-
sentation on their tickets quite as
quickly as would the Americans" and
If the Federation decides to affiliate
with any or all of the parties that is
the Federation's right, but whether it
would be wise TO join forces with any
one party, and whether 1t would profit
labor to dic1er with any of the parties
is very questionable. So far, wherever
political action of any kind has been
taken by labor organizations this year
81 has been in the way of opposition to
Objectionable candidates on any ticket
and support of labor's friends regard
less of party lines. In some cases the
Federation has had independent tickets
in the field or has endorsed individual
candidates under specific understand
ing as to their position on the labor
question. To follow such a course as
some Of the local committee suggested
SIS TO invite hostility from a source that
would otherwise be friendly and lose
the benefit Of a support that would ac-
complish more than the alliance pro-
posed.

be no debate on that point. and it
should be possible for all the unions to
establish a working basis OF co-opera-
ton and mutual protection which would
include this point of vital interest.
Questions of wages and hours will set
tie themselves because the demand for
labor is great, the mines are rich
enough to pay high prices for labor and
there has been no disposition TO haggle
over wage standards, so the way to a
peaceable, permanent settlement ought
to be easy.

End OE VACATION.

The long vacation is over. Tomorrow
you will see the boy, creeping like
snail unwillingly to school," Tomorrow
morning the boy will waken to a sor-
rowful realization of his condition of
servitude. He will conclude that the
troubles of adults are as nothing; that
he is the only human being who is bur-
dened by weights of real woe. His
mother will hurry him through his
breakfast and send him on his way
And the boy will be surprised when he
gets to school to find that he is just a
little glad to be there. He is glad to
see his teachers. glad to meet his play
mate OF the, TO him, long ago.
Before the boy knows it he is busily
engaged with his fellows in plans for
the autumn sports. Perhaps, too, he
takes a genuine interest in his lessons,
though that is too much to hope for the
average youngster. II the lad only
knew it, he is having the time of his
life right now. What would you, toll
worn, anxious business man, give if you
to the days of your boyhood. You, too,
regarded school as a prison; you, too.
saw the long vacation come to an end
with regret, even bitterness in your
heart. But now you know that those
were the halcyon days.
Much study is a WEAKNESS to the
flesh" said the unknown writer of Ec-
clesiastes. That is assuredly the school
boys view Of the situation. The aver
age schoolboy looks on any study as
to get out into the world and do some
thing for himself, by himself, with
himself. In his ignorance he imagines
that the men who are in business are
the men who are free. Poor boyi The
business man, the professional man,
every man who is Of any account in
the world is a slave. However much
he enjoys his work, the fact remains
that he is owned by his work, and the
more he loves it the truer is the say
ing.
There is no long vacation this side of
the grave for the average man. Occa-
sionally he gets day or a week or a
month off, but in ninety-nine cases out
of hundred he spends large proper
ton Of his "free" time in thinking of
his business, planning work that he
knows he must do on his return. If,
when the time comes when he must
/ lay down his work forever, his con-
science is clear and he can say he did
/ his best, he can ask no greater reward.
| The whirligig of time revolves swiftly
now, as always. The schOolboy who
starts back to his studies tomorrow
| will, by another tomorrow, be the man
of affairs. He viii take up the tasks
| laid down by older hands and, in the
! light of the example Of his predecessors
and in the fullness of his own wisdom,
he will do the work better, God help
! ing him. SO let us be patient with the
schoolboy; let us at least be tolerant
of boyish foibles as we know others
were tolerant of ours. And always let
us remember that as far as we have
the shaping of the lives of the boys our
! influence and our example must be the
very best we can make them.

An Ogden negro was going home with
a watermelon the other night when he
met two highwaymen who ordered him
TO throw up his hands. AS this would
have involved dropping the melon. the

The recent introduction in Congress

CHICK SWALLOWS PEARL;
LAWSUIT WILL FOLLOW

NEW YORK, May 17.-Interstate COM
merce between Maryland and New York
is involved in the strange story Of a
pearl that was found and lost and
found again by John Williams. an
oyste~ dealer.
Sine three weeks agO Williams found
a large. ovai-shaped pearl, with a pecu-
liar little red spot in one end. Its value
was estimated to be about 500. A week
later he went TO visit his father at the
old home in Weston. Nd. He lost the
pearl in the yard the day before he left
for New York.
Last night Williams entered the butch
er shop Of Henry Liefer. in Linden ave-
nue., Jersey City. He ordered two
chickens. and as the butcher dressed
them large pearl fell out on the block.
Williams at a glance recognized the
jewel he had lost in Maryland. Liefer
secuted the idea and refused to give it
up. When the crate in which the
chickens had been shipped was brought
up it bore the name and address of
Williams father in Weston, Nd.
Liefer claims that as Williams had
not yet paid for the chickens the pearl
is his property. Williams declares that
he will go to law with the question un-
less the butcher restores the pearl TO
him.
