MINERS HOPE

OWNERS WILLING TO GIVE UP

Operators Believed to Have Yielded to

House

BY Associated Press.
GOLDFIELD, New, Jan. 26.-rhe Mine
Owners association tonight abolished the
card system which required all employees to
sign an agreement renouncing the Western
Federation of Miners, and declared an open
shop policy. The resolution adopted states
that hereafter applicants for employment
"shalI only be required to satisfy the secre-
tary of this association and their employers
of their competency and reliability"
1t Is the belief that there are fully 1000
Federation men In the camp who will return
to work under the new ruling. The action
of the association also insures the passage
of the state police bill.
CARSON. New. Jan. 26.-Members of
the Nevada legislature have been filling
the hotel lobbies today in interested
groups, awaiting news from Goldfield
of The action of the Mine Owners asso-
citation on the anti-card system.
Emphatic word was sent out Satur-
day that the police measure would die
in the hands of the committee II no ac.
tion was taken by the Goldtield Mine
Owners association to withdraw the
Objectionable feature of the card sys
tenn.
Late this afternoon the members
most interested, who have been in
touch with the situation and headquar-
ters on both sides, received word that q
meeting had been held by the mine
owners and that telegram satisfac-
tory to the desires of the union men
had been forwarded to Governor
Sparks.
The governor is at his ranch, but he
has been notified the telegram is await
ing him. The news has been given out
that the mine owners have conceded the
abolishment of the card system. With
this in view the members of the assem-
bly, announce the police measure will
be reported back favorably with a few
amendments. and that it will pass the
assembly practically by the test vote
of 81 to Z.
Move for Peace
The fact that the mine owners have
placed telegram in the hands of Gov
ernor Sparks to direct movements is
regarded as a peaceful move from 10th
sides and that the measure will receive
the support of both political parties.
Since the union forces have won out
on the no-card system, they will at
tempt another piece of legislation that
was introduced year ago and defeated
by the very members that now demand
it's enactment. The assemblymen are
caucusing on a law to do away with
blacklisting and boycotting in any FORM
This is to be made felony, with severe
penalties. Such a bill was introduced
a year ago and went down to defeat
after passing the senate Today the
men who voted it down are revamping
the measure. and they will ask the gov
ernor to pass it to the legislature with
a message for its enactment.
The governor has given out that all
work must be finished in twenty days,
and with the amount of work now be-
fore the special session 1t is going to
crowd a week to finish matters already
cited and on hand. The police meas
ure will be called up tomorrow morn
ing, and the action of the members an
this matter win determine the future
course of the special session.

Should a list OF the ingredients of Pc

experience BY physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed of
some of the most efficacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhal diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require a tonic.
Each one of the principal ingredients
OF Peruna has a reputation OF its own
in the euro of some phase of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is q dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature OF
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried to pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.
