All Building
Will be stopded

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 2o.-There was
said last night to be little likelihood
of the plumbers agreeing to return
to work at the old wage scale OF IS
a day. If this determination to stick
out for So day is manifest by this
evening all building operations in Gold
field will be tied up indefinitely.
This is the limit set by the master
builders in formal session. The
bosses met today, and if the plumbers
still insist upon asking 50 for eight
hours work, every man at work in
the building trades in the city will
be called off. The bosses are still
hopeful that trouble may be averted
but the indications late last night
were that tie-up is imminent.

FAL SITES
RETURNS
Nevada Hills Mines Re-
turns Not as Given
% Assessors

FALLON, Aug. 1S.-The county as
sesA~-- ~--e making an investigation
into the bullion report of the Nevada
Hills Mining Company, the result of
which may be marked by sensational
features.
County Assessor Judd Allen and
Deputy J. II. Wilson have returned
ITO Fallon after spent a week in the
Wonder and Fairview mining districts
making up valuations for the assess
ment roll.
The found that the last computa-
ton made by the management of the
Nevada Hills and turned over to them
was not in keeping with the reported
net earnings of the cimpany, on which
they had three times declared divi-
dends to the stockholders. Each of
these dividends was $4,000, or S225,,
900 in all.
The company has substituted a re-
port showing the total receipts from
ores from January l to June l to have
been 1927 ,471.1S. while the expenG.
itures have been s97 ,9O1.O2, leaving a
balance of only $23,570.16 the bullion
tax on which at the rate of S1.79
amounts to $529.29. The bullion tax
paid by the company on its total earn
! ings during 1906, was 1890.
| The assessors are at loss to rec
oncile the two statements-that made
for the assessment and that for the
Stockholders-on which latter $225,
600 in dividends have been paid.
A heavy penalty is provided for mis-
representation in reports of corpora
ations made for assessment. The
county authorities have reported tht
discrepancy to the State Board o
Assessment, requesting that the.
max an investigation.

Object to Change Room

tine company is doing all it can for
is part of the contract which we ex.
pect the men to respect. So far as
the embarrassment is concerned, do
not look at it in that light. 1t is simply
meas<re of precaution, anu all fair
minded miners should endorse our
plans for honesty and fair dealing"
A committee of three, from the
Miners union after a special meeting
last night, went to the Mohawk prop
erty and called out the compressor
men, engine men ant practically all
others on that shift, leaving the mine
idle.
Tne change-room at the Mohawk
was completed day before yestrday
1t consists of large apartment, with
a partition dividing it into two Sec
tions. The miners go into one apart
ment and remove their undergarments
They then walk around the partition
to the other side, and there put on
their miners clothes, under the sup
ervision Of the watchmen. This oper-
alton is reversed after the men quit
each shift Each man has his own
locker, and there is also shower
bath.
There will be no discrimination
says Mr. GeddeS, between the mines
and the Combination change-roOm
which will be completed today or to-
morrow, will be similarly equipped
The Red Top will also have the same
system. jIhe Consolidated manage
ment says it is simply complying with
its part Of the agreement entered into
months ago, and expects the men tC
observe their part OF the contract.

DAILY PAPER PUBLISHED IN JAIL

BE thy not cast down." is an In
Injunction which appears to be taken
literally by the prisoners in the Churc-
hill county Jail. 1t would seem as if
it would take an uncommon philOso-
pher to extract amusement in the en-
vironment of prison walls, but that
Sheriff Bob Shirley charges man
age to do is evidenced by the fact
that a genius gone astray, who is
lodged in the bastile awaiting the act
ion of the grand 'ury, whiles away his
leisure hours and lightens the leaden
wings if time for his fellow prisoners
by the publication of a daily paper
The editors facilities are necessarily
primitive, lead pencil doing the SER
vice of type and press, but what the
Daily Jail Budget" lacks in typo
graphical appearance it fully makes
ND in clever cartoons and pungen,
paragraphs in which are recorded the
every day life of the prison and its
inmates Last Sundays edition wa:

fusely illustrated, on the evils of wife
beating, with Ben Davis as the cen
tral figure.

On the ground that the change
room system at the Mohawk mine is
embarrassing to the men, between 60
and IS miners at that property re-
fused to report for work on the 3
o'clock shift yesterday afternoon.
When the IL o'clock shift was to have
gone to work last night, but two men
reported for duty, and when they
the mine.
Yesterday morning committee OF
three miners waited upon Walter Ged-
des, general superintendent of the Con
solidated properties, and stated to him
that the men objected to the new
system requiring them to strip to
their undergarments, on the ground
that it was embarrassing and humil-
iating.
Mr.. Geddes replied that the change
rom system was as nearly perfect at
it was possible to be at this time;
that the men changed their garments
in one room and passed before the
watchmen in another; that the change
room was part of the contract for the
resumption of work at the last iaUCr
trouble, and that he, as superinten-
cent, could not see his way clear to
change it in anyway, especially during
the absence of J. w. Finch, general
manager, and George Wingfeld. Mr..
Finch is expected back today, and Mr..
Wingfield the latter part of this week
The committee then left, and the
men did not report for work at the
3 O'Clock shift, nor at the II o'clock
shift last night.
Il can see no reason for this
/ trouble said Mr. Geddes last night

Word comes from Chicago that mail

Discussing the weighing to be done
east of the Missouri river the Chicago

The sixth district comprises all OF
the territory east of the Missouri riv-

and St Louis. When the reweighing
begins there will be at least 500 men
engaged in the work The reweighfng
continues for about lis days. all of the
mails which are put on and all that
are taken off of all established routes
being carefully weighed
Out of the reweighing period there
will be a total of ninety working days.
and tie total tonnage OF each route
for the entire reweighiHg of each

will be divided by ninety. the working

day in the year. The pay is on a de-
scending scale as the average weight
increases until for 5000 pounds or

Now that the reweighfug period is

BY the Recommendation there will
be per cent decrease in the pay

reduce the pay on this kind of route
ing an average of between $4,000 and
$4,000 pounds there will be a decrease

I'm addition to these decreases there
will be a reduction in the pay for
