Skilled Labor Satisfied.

The consensus of opinion at the miners
union tonight was that the scale for the
skilled labor and underground work was
satisfactory, and that change rooms, il
maintained along the lines Indicated in
the agreement OF the joint committee
could not reasonably be objected to. The
disagreement is on the claim that the top
men and other unskilled labor on the sur
face should receive the same minimum
pay as the underground workers. The
heavy expense of living in Goldfield was
cited and in support of this contention a
statement was submitted showing that at
$3.50 per day, the surface workers. if mar
red, could barely make out an existence.

A Miners Figures.

This statement prepared by a miner
who has made careful study of the sit

by all who are familiar with the situa-
ton. shows that the cost of living for an

month The items show; Groceries. 1885,
meat, SIG; rent, $50; coal, S25; wood ST. 90

A surface man working every day would

Some Arguments Advanced.

1t was argued at the meeting tonight
that the proposition of the joint commit
tee should ce rejected and instructions
given that body to hold another confer
ence. Several speakers insisted that if
the miners should hold out for a few
days longer the operators would agree to
the 50 minimum scale all around. When
a vote was taken. however. on
the referendum resolution, it was car
ried by a large majority and Secretary
Willis was directed to prepare the ballot
box and have it in front Of the union
headquarters at noon tomorrow.

Mine Owners Object.

The sentiment among the mine opera
tors seems to be decidedly against paying
surface men and skilled labor as much
as underground workers. The operators
say that the men underground perform
hazardous tasks that entitle them TO more
money than men who work above ground,
that eXpertness and experience are en-
titled to financial reward. They say il is
pure altruism for the miners to insist ON
the same scale for workers Of every class
and il is extremely doubtful if they would
accede to a proposition for a uniform

COELHO APOLOGIES.
Coelho took occasion to apologize
for the mischievous remarks which he
mad made towards Smith. He said the
cXuberance of his youth had been re-
sponsible He considered it q great
privilege to work together with lead
er like Smith.
SPEECH BY SMITH
Smith answered that he appreciated
Coelhos remarks. He thought the
Senate had done the best it could, and
did not think that any Senator had
worked for personal ends. Smith said
he desired to acknowledge the cour-
tesy of the press. The relations be-
tween the press and the Senate had
always been cordial.
SCUDDER REPUDIATED.
The appointments Of w. r. Dilling-
nam, Alonzo ,Gartley and Doremrs
Scudder as trustees of the Hawaiian
library were taken up for confirmation.
Smith moved to confirm the name of
Seudder. Dowsett said some Hawaiian
should be on the Board For this rea-
son he would vote against Scudder.
Smith said he shared this regret, still
he wanted Scudder. Lane supported
Dowsett. He called attention to the
tact that Carter had appointed very
-, . L..
Hayselden said Dowsett and Lane were
right. He would also vote against the
confirmation of Scudder. Smith said
it might be better to sacrifice DilIing-
nam than Scudder. Mccarthy said that
he agreed with DOwsett and Lane
Scudder was an able man, but the
Governor had made a great mistake
in nominating him without asking adj
vice from the Senate first. ScuddeT
was not confirmed, only three voting
Tor him. The names of Dillingham; and
Gartley were confirmed.
PLAYS LAST TRUMP.
Hayselden appealed from the ruling
Of the chair in refusing to entertain a
motion to reconsider the vote on the
veto of the county salary grab bill
Bishop repeated his ruling and further
ruled that the appeal was made too
late. Chillingworth said the motion
was very much out of order. He him
self would probably have voted TO over
ride the veto had he been present, but
the Senate should not let its SYM
pathies influence them.
Mccarthy said that he would like IL
