NOW AGREED
WORKERS OF WORLD
SAID TO HAVE GOTTEN
THE SHORT END.

Goldfields, Nev.-An agreement has
been signed by the executive commit
tee Of the mine owners and the Of
ficers of the miners union, No. 220,
Goldfeld district, which terminates the
great lockout and labor struggle of the
past seven weeks.
The final act of the peace negotia-
tons occurred when joint announce
ment was signed declaring that the
mines would resume operations Mon
day at p. M. and calling upon all
miners to go to work. The terms of
the settlement are as follows:
First, the wage. scale in effect in
the district March 1, 1907, shall re-
main in force. and eight hours shall
constitute a days work for all men
under the Jurisdiction of the miners
union.
Second, the miners union shall have
Jurisdiction over all men regularly en-
ployed in and around the mines, mills

superintendent and managers.
Third, no strike or boycott shall be
officially declared by the miners I'M
ion unless by two-thirds vote Of the
organization in favor thereof, and no
lockout shall be enforced by the mine
owners and operators unless by like
vote.
Fourth, no town labor controversy
shall interfere with the operation Of
the mines or the employment Of the
miners.
Fifth, these terms shall remain in

The miners have separated them
selves from the Industrial Workers Of
the World and will let no town labor
trouble interfere with the working of
the mines.

JAP COOLIES CREEP IN.
Go to San Francisco and Reship to
British Columbia, Then

British Columbia, Then
They Slip Over Line.
Under the regulations covering the
laborers, there is no way Of prevent
ing the Japanese from Honolulu trans
shipping at San Francisco for British
Columbia. 1t is evident from inquiries
that have been made by officials of this
government, that the japanese, to
whom the Japanese government issues
passports to Mexico or the Hawaiian
islands, have no intention of remain
ing there. Their destination, as the
laborers themselves have admitted on
crossexamination, is the United States.
Recently several hundred Japanese
laborers were Intercepted in Mexico
as to their intentions. Every one OF
them said he expected sooner or
later to reach this country. Some OF
them were in serious financial straits.
They we're awainting opportunity to
get across the border into this coun-
try. The same Is true Of Japanese
who are going to British Columbia.
There is no work for them there and
they expect to get into the United
States as soon as possible. The regu-
lations governing the exclusion Of
Chinese laborers do not apply to the
Japanese laborer.
When Chinese are shipped in transit
through the United States to another
country, a photograph is taken Of each
fvad sryed, OF m.
ship company carrying him is required
to give the government a bond to
prevent his escape. 1t Is different with
the Japanese. No photographs are
taken and no bonds are exacted from
the transportation company. If JAP
anese laborer escapes from the train
or steamship in transit, the govern
ment has no recourse. That many of
them do take advantage, Of the chance
offered them to get into this country
is known officially, but there is no
way under the regulations to prevent
them embracing the opportunity.
Commissioner Sargent declines to
discuss the subject, but 1t is known
that Secretary Straus of the depart
ment of commerce and labor Is keep
ing In close touch with the situation.
Trouble is being experienced in han
ding the question, however, particu-
larly in relation to the Japanese i'm
migrants who are arriving from Mexi-
co. 1t is practically impossible to pre-
vent them from being struggled across
the border and the government has
no means of identifying them after
they reach this country. The question
is likely to become more serious in
the future.

Smoke in Handling Bees.
How differently men use or misuse
smoke when handling bees. Some men
even ask me II l ever "smoke in tho
entrance" As rule, such men will
jar the hives In taking of the cover,
they pry or pull of the super with .
snap. says an exchange. About this
time the bees, angry bees, begin pour
Ing out at the entrance and from the
top Of the hive and then the bee-
keeper begins using the smoker; but
the bees are mad now. and no amount
Of smoke will pacify them.
The most important place to use
smoke is at the entrance. and It should
be used there as the first step In open
Ing the hive. Subdue the bees nrst,
then all the Earring will only make
their subsection the more complete. So
many times has some man cautioned
me about attempting to handle some
colony, saying that those bees were
perfect tigers and that I would be
stung to death. always say: Give
me the >smoker." give them a good,
thorough smoking mt the entrance be-
fore attempting to open the hive. I
then open the hive carefully, using q
little smoke II there is any sign Of
obstreperousness.
As a rule pass the ordeal without
n sting. while the owner looks on with
amazement. The whole secret lies In
subdufng the bees before opening the
hives. Smoke the bees first. and then
you can usually handle them In peace
and comfort.

In Defense Of Borah.


at is equally unfair to draw any
conclusions, on the other hand, against
Senator Borah. 1t was commonly
understood he was in the Steunenberg
murder case as special attorney for
the prosecution before he was elected
to the senate. 1t is, l think, con-
ceded he has acted in general way in
his capacity as attorney for the Bar
Der Lumber company, which company
is alleged, in connection with others,
to have been engaged in illegally OBJ
tanning lumber lands near Boise. But
that does not presume, nor is 1t in
itself the slightest evidence, that he
had any part in procuring lands or
conspiring to do so. 1t has been, to
my knowledge, and have every rea-
son to believe it will be, the policy
of the department of Justice in Idaho
to hew straight to the line to keep
its administration here absolutely free
from ENHANCEMENT either with the
prosecution or defense of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone, and to thwart any
possible interference in any manner
by political Influence on one side, or a
disposition to aid the accused men on
the other, and If the subject is even
considered by the attorney general or
other executive officials, am salts
fed it will be strictly along the line
Of how best to punish the offenders
of the federal laws and recover lands
wrongfully obtained from the govern
ment, and not in any wise, while doing
SO, to engage in the trial of the alleged
offenders against the state of Idaho"
