THE OKLAHOMA WAY.

What is probably the most radical
abo bill ever passed by a State Legis.
nature was the one enacted in Oklahoma
last month. According to press dis.
patches wages will he based ON The
profits of the employer, and the State
Labor Commission is given arbitrary
power to order an increase or decrease.
us ne may think the facts warrant. The
dispatches say that all business con.
Germs in the State must make detailed
reports OF earnings and expenses, and
thai on these the Commissioner will
base his decision as to the rate of wages
to be! paid. The act defines the duties
OF the Commissioner of Labor in rela-
ton to the transportation, mechanical
ana manufacturing Industries of the
State, and creates a State board of arbi-
tration and councilmen and n free en-
ployment bureau; provides for the q
lation of private employment agencies
and for sanitary inspection of factories,
workshops and homes when used for
such, and their equipment. The last
provisions, however, are not, very much
different from those in other States.
The measure is said to be u response
to the demand of the Farmers Unions
and the Labor organizations of the
State, representing altogether over $780,
600 votes.
A bill has also passed both houses
which provides for ~penitentiary term
for any employer who refuses work to
an employe on account of the latter be-
longing to u labor union. The law also
prohibits Pinkerton detectives from
working in the State.

Nevada As q Milling State

n well informed mining man of thi,
city ON returning from Nevada camps
yesterday voiced u proposition regarding
the camps of the Sagebrush State that
will meet with appreciation here, says
the Salt Lake Tribune. He has conf
dence in Nevada mines, u confidence
bred from intimate association with men
and affairs in the state directly west of
Utah, but that confidence is placed in
the milling possibilities of Nevada,
which, so far. have received SO little
attention.
He points out that all the truth of Ne
vada has not yet been told. The world
hears of few strikes other than the high
grade ores. A small stringer of thous-
and dollar ore will occupy more space in
the average newspaper of the land than
a twenty foot vein Of SEQ rock. High
grade on the surface is n c~onsoling thing
to have. 1t creates excitement and big
hopes, but ms n rule they are mighty
poor dividend payers. Nevada is full
OF such propositions, but tits mt1re gen
erously provided with low.grade mines,
which are the real backbone to the min
ing industry of any state. =.
What Nevada must come to-" states
this gentleman, lis the realization that
the investor does not want any more of
the spectacular ~high-grade surface af.
fairs. He is willing and waiting to be
convinced of II long-term milling propo-
sition with tonnage behind it An ms.
say certificate showing $l5 or go per
ton gold, coupled with the word of n
competent mining engineer MS to ton
mage available, goes II longer distance
nowadays than u whole newspap of
news about an immensely rich find and
vest pocket editions, of the ore itself.
Nevada will outgrow the excitement
propensity, and when it buckles down
to a milling basis the world eagerly will
jump after the dividends that ARE GER
tain according to all mining history"
