Special to The HeraIdN

RhyOlite, New. March 11.-Members of
the Rhyolite board of trade and the local
labor unions have met and carefully cor
sidered the questions which have agitated
the northern union camps. and there is
no danger of repetition of the troubles
of GOldfield in southern Nevada.
There have been two strikes in coutem-
plation, but each has been readily set
tied without the loss of a single hour of
work
The strike in the Lee district, over the
California line for the Nevada scale of
wages was settled without the loss of a
single shift and the operators gave the
unions what was asked for Under the
conditions existing in Lee the men were
not uniOnized and all miners were paid
at the rate of s. a day both for surface
work and work under the bucket.

CREST OF THE FLOOD.
Worst Will Be Over at Cincinnati
After Today.


Cincinnati. O.. March with a stage
OF slNty-ouc feet at o'clock this after
noon- it was believed that the crest Of
the Ohio flood was not far away. Fore
caster Basslcr has placed the proba BILE
crest at not less than siXty-three feet. but
his estimates anticipated its arrival some
time tomorrow afternoon. The damage
done by the flood may far exceed that in
the January flood because of the un-
usually large amount of mud carried by
the river at this time
The present flood, however has come
from uHprecedentedly heavy rains on n
soft soil. the result being an excessive
amount of mud, which has settled on all
that 1t covered. so that the loss will go
far in excess Of "a winter flood. The suf-
fering has probably been somewhat les
sened by the miider weather, although
many thousand persons have been driven
from their homes and caused great loss
and suffering by the rising water.
1t IS understood that the worst is over
at points above here.
The city suffered a loss of about
100000 early in the day by the collapse
of the Eighth street viaduct over the rail-
roads of the Mill Creek section of the
city. Three fifty-foot spans of this via
duct went down into the flood. but the
high water is not believed to have been
the sole cause of the disaster. Various
traction lines using the ViaduCt are put
to much Inconvenience.

Prospect of a Strike.

John Largent, Of the Ray interests in
southern Nevada. said: Two years ago,
when the district was first opened. the
miners and operators OF the district recog-
niZed the fact that railroad was abso-
lutely necessary, and in a conference with
representatives 0f the Salt Lake road
agreed that no interference with the
building of the line would be permitted
until the line was built through the dis
trict.
The miners have lived up to their
agreement and no strike viii be permitted.
When the line is completed through the
BullfrOg district however. their agree
meut will be fulfilled and the graders can
strike all they please.
THE line practically has been graded
as far as Mud Springs and the fact that
the Brock road. which IS coming into
Beatty from Goldfieid. pays a scale that
is just double the Salt Lake scale will
start the trouble at once.
