OPEN SHOP AT GOLDFIELD
Clerks and Freight Workers Join
Striking TracIxmen.

GoLDFIELD, New, Jan. 3O.-The
mine operators association adopted
a set of resolutions which will be
posted at all mines in the district
to the effect that the mines will be
worked under the .open-shop policy,
but that any interference with or in
timidation of woTkmen or solicit
ing for membership In any labor or
ganization would not be tolerated.
Freight Men and Clerks Quit.
GOLDFIELD, New, Jan. 30.-The
clerical force and freight handlers
at both the passenger and freight
depots have quit work in sympathy
with the striking trackmen. All
trains are running as usual and 1t
is improbable that the action of the
men will cause any prolonged dis
pute. 1t is said that most of the
men are still members of the Indus
trial Workers of the World, to
which union the track walkers and
section hands belong. The local
officials are handling the running of
the trains and the trainmen have
shown no disposition to quit.
Governor Signs Police Bill.
CARSON, New, Jan. 30.-Govern-

is fierce scramble for places on the
police force. Applications for Offices
are being received from all quarters.
1t is believed the new force can take
the field inside of 80 days.

 The communication that has been received by the warden and which was read at the last meeting held by the warden and burgesses is causing considerable discussion in various parts of the borough. The communi- cation asks tLat the board consider its former vote in regard to granting the traction company the privilege of putting in ] a switch or turnout in front of the Rubin block on South Main street 1t will be remembered that at the time that same privilege was asked for that it met with no small amount of opposition on the ground that the life of the general public would te placed in danger if a switch was put in at that spot. Now the traction company, after period of six months, asks again for the privilege that was once denied them, but this time it is asked for on the ground that the patrons of the road would receive better ser vice if they could run the cars right into the center of Naugatuck instead of making the passengers stay on the car on the switch on North Main street, but there are many who claim that there is plenty of room on their own land just south of the cen ter where switch would do as much service for the Naugatuck pub lie as to allow it to be placed in the street in front of the Rubin block, and it is also claimed that the trac- tion company is more anxious about having a place to accommodate its growing express business than it is about serving the patrons of the road. At any rate those who op- posed the granting of the privilege asked for when it receive hearing do not seem inclined to withdraw their opposition, as they claim that conditions are no different now than when the petition was denied, and for this reason the board should re- fuse to allow the switch to be put in at that point.

AGRICULTURAL BILL
CARRIES $11,642,l45
Sum Not as Large as in Previous
Years-To Demonstrate Fertility
Of irrigated Sections.

Washington, April 21.-The agricul.
tural appropriation bill which was re-
ported to the Senate yesterday after
noon by the committee on agriculture
carries a sum not so large as has been
voted in previous years--$11 ,642, las,
an increase Of s133,34O over the total
amount of the bill as passed by the
House.
The Senate committee recommend.
ed an appropriation of $4,000 for CO.
operation between the department of
agriculture and the reclamation serv-
ice in demonstrating the feasibility Of
crop reduction on lands under the
latter service. Another item for $10,.
900 was recommended for the pur-
pose of securing hardy forage plants
from Siberia for use on the northern
portion Of the great plains area. The
report of the committee says:
"The great need in all these regions
is for leguminous forage crops which
will serve not only to maintain norm
|al husbandry but build up the soil
which will otherwise be utterly depict
ed by the one crop system now in
vogue"
An amendment was made by the
!committee to the provision in regard
to fixing definite grades of grain so
that such grades when fixed shall be.
come the official standards for the
grading of grain. Another amend
ment appropriates 100000 to create
a national bison forest on the Flat
head Indian reservation, Montana, as
provided by a bill which passed the
Senate.
