John Altman, who settled on the
Smoky 10 the Buffalo days of Trego,
was World visitor last Wednesday.
He says they are figuring on rural
route out of Ellis in his neighbor-
hood. With rural route and good
telephone system the farmers are en-
joying life as they should. What they
need next is railroad up the Smoky
and they will get it some day.

Louis Schloss, general manager of
the famous Kewanas mine, was in
Tonopah yesterday, and stated that
he was preparing the work of put
ting in triple compartment shaft.
He was also going to start in the
work Immediately of putting in a
Deming triplex pump with a capacity
of 100 gallons a minute, and good
for a depth of 500 feet. The work
will be done by men who are not
members of the Industrial Workers
OF the World
Mr. Schloss was questioned as to
the rumors in regard to the opening
of the mines.
There is absolutely no foundation
for such rumor," said Mr.. Schloss.
"that is, under present conditions,
The mines will not be opened up
again while the miners are under the
domination of the Industrial Work
ers of the World, unless it is by
miners brought in from the outside,
and it is no certainty that this will
not be done before long. My opiu-
ion is that the majority of the mine
owners will not submit to having
their mines tied up for an indefinite
time | do not think that they will
tolerate the existing conditions for
more than ten days or two weeks Al
the furtherest. After that they will
bring in miners from the outside
and they will not be so-called scaps
either, but good union men We
know where we can get at least ! 500

cided that as he had a card from
the Miners Union he was entitled tc
voice in the proceedings.
That settled the meeting No one
else was permitted to speak and the
willy st. John wore everybody out
and disgusted the better element,
which cleared out, and when the In.
dustrial Workers of the World had
things all their own way, they took
the vote which resulted in the miners
deciding to stay by the organization
Should miners be brought in from
the outside, they will be formed into

in all probability it will be Nevada

Members of the Business Mems
and Mine Owners Association are
not doing any more talking than the
other side, but they are growing res
tive under the strain. They know
now that the miners will not release
themselves from the yoke of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, and
there is talk, quiet talk, of bringing
in miners from the outside, who are
not affliated with the Industrial
Workers of the World, or not even
members of the Western Federation
of Miners.
A step of this sort, it is thought,
would precipitate trouble, but there
are men here who have become so
tired of the threats and the actions
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, that they have grown des-
perate, and want to see the matter
brought to a head, one way or the
other. The miners are preparing for
a long siege, evidently, for there IS
talk of putting up soup kitchens, and
making other provisions against the
lockout. From all accounts the
miners hope to stall off action until
the convention of the Western Fei-
Grafton in May, when they expect
their delegates to take stand
against the Industrial Workers OF
the World. But that will all depend
upon the personnel of the delegates
st. John and his gang will leave
no stone unturned to send pro-ln'
dustrial Workers of the World mer
to the convention. The meeting ths
other night, as far as an expression
of the miners was concerned was

FINAL BLOW.
King Alfonso's Action Ends
Anti-ClericaI Movement
in Spain.

Alfonso XIII. of Spain has annulled
the August decree restoring the civil
marriage formalities on the part OF
those desiring to be joined in we'd
lock by the State. Thus ends the
anti-Clerical movement in Spain,
which begun nearly year ago and
has caused the overthrow of three
Ministries, threatened rupture of
the Concoroat of 1851, and the separa-
ton of Church and State throughout
the Spanish peninsula.
In calculating the cable dispatches
dealing with this topic it has several
times been pointed out that, in
spite of the comparatively
long administration of the
Liberal Cabinet of Lopez Dominique
pledged to an anti-Clerical pro-
gramme, no anti-Clerical movement
in Spain could ever assume the form
of a prolonged and serious national
issue. Events during the last few
months. which have seen the King
undo little by little the work of his
Liberal Cabinet and the final return
of a more or less united Clerical
majority in the Cortes, leaves no
doubt on this point.
