Special to the Montana News

Carson City, New, Jan, Is.
Nevada has one of the most severe
laws against blacklisting that there is
in the United States. And the very
fact that this legislature is called to
enforce and protect the conditions the
mine owners have attempted to impose
upon the miners, namely to employ no
one that belongs to the union, bears
testimony to the fact that the gov:
ernment of Nevada is defying its own
law in attempting to sustain the black
listers. This is the only state thar
has Legislature in session this winter,
and it is called to crush labor.
President MacKinnon of the Gold
field union and Charles Clough, the
delegate to the legislature, have pre-
pared a bill which they have handed
10 the Committee of Twenty" The
measure is weak one from working
class standpoint, as it is practically an
admission that there is occasion to leg
islate against the miners at this time
The bill provides for a special state
fund of $4,000 TO be set aside TO pre-
serve the peace and dignity Of the
state of Nevada; that in ease Of dis
turbance the sheriff and the county
commissioners be empowered 10 depu-
tize needed assistance, the means to
be provided from this special fund.
II is expected that the final report
of the COMMITTEES will be fought out
fiercely on the floor of the house, and
the union men have telegraphed John
N. o'Neill, editor OF the Miners Ma
gazine, to be present and present their
side.
Should Investigate.
This entire matter of dealing with
the Industrial matters at Goldfeld has
an unfair, mouldy politician flavor from
the first There is a feeling that the
matter should have bee n carefully

the Consolidated company, has opened
a recruiting office for scabs in Salt
Lake. On Wednesday he thought he
had 100 men he could start to Gold
field. They kept dropping off at the
various towns along the way until
when they reached Goldfeld there were
Just about go men left. They ran
these in on a special train from We
gas which reached here at four o o'clock
in the morning The next day through
the persuations Of the union men there
were just "a left who stuck to work.
The daily papers are stating that
the pieketers are becoming more ag-
gressive in accosting the strike break
ers. The fact Of the matter is tnat
the picketers are very temperate in
their representations TO the strike
breakers, but the latter seem encour-
aged to use vile language to the union
men. There is no doubt that the mine
owners are trying to stir up trouble.
Legalize the Gun Men.
If the operators and Gov. Sparks
can have their way with the legisla-
ture they intend it to simply legalize
the gun men already employed by the
companies about the mines. Under
present conditions the sheriff's office
with force of about 40 deputies seat
tered through the camp keeps the hired
thugs in order. But if the Legislature
authorizes Sparks to form a state po-
lice and all these gun men are al
vanced to the dignity of state marshals
they will then have authority over the
sheriff's office, and the miners will be
expected Ito submit to their brutal
rule.
New Scab Union.
About the most ludicrous feature
of this hocus-pocus that the mine own
ers are indulging in is the attempt to
old Tommy o 'Brien to organize a dual
miners scab union. 1t is to be called
the Nevada Miners union, and is cal
culated to put the Western Federation
forever out of business in the golden
desert. Old Tommy has gone back
over years to find out how to organ
ize the right sort of a union. He has
stated that the constitution and by

investigated by the legislature at first
before any action was taken. But
there has been not the slightest sug,
gestion of investigation by that body.
The newspapers are constantly making
the assertion and everybody is taking
il for granted that Goldfeld is in a
state of danger from the union men,
and the only question is how shall the
state protect itself against them.
When this is the very thing that
should be ascertained first. 1t is q
lie on the face of il.
The action of the governor has been
practically endorsed by the resolution
calling for the retention of the troops
till some police plan was agreed upon,
and Sparks sat overlooking the assem-
bly, while they voted to COW them by
his presence and whip them into line.
Capt Cox, his military representa-
tive at Goldfeld during the trouble,
threatened to bring speager Skaggs TO
time il he opposes the governor by
exposing his military record on the Gu.
ban expedition. Both were members
Of the Rough Riders.
Nevada Chagrinned.
The Nevada bosses hardly know
where they are at since congress
has appointed an investigation com.
mittee on the Goldfeld situation. The
legislature asked for the troops pend
ing further action, and Roosevelt tele-
graphed his aequieseence. But CON
gress sends a committee TO look into
matters, thing the Nevada legisla-
ture has not done. The Nevada mine
owners representatives are looking
dubious. II looks as though perhaps
they wouldn't have things all their
own way. The way the local papers
are taking the news is highly amusing.
Those that have been most anxious to
proclaim to the that Nevada was dom

koYuKuK HIGH AND
 DRY ON cHANDLAR

FAIRBANKS, Sept. 24.-The N. N. Company's steamer Koyukuk, accord ing to advices received today, is stranded on bar about forty miles from the mouth of the Chandlar River and at the rate the water in the river is falling it looks as if the steamer is there for the winter.
 The Koyukuk left here about two weeks ago for the post 12O miles up the Chandlar, with the last cargo of freight for that place. The steamer made the head of navigation and de- livered her cargo, but while she was there the water fell and she got caught If liberated from the bar which she is on at present 1t is doubtful if the steamer will be able to make the mouth of the river at the present stage of water.
 The water in all of the rivers is get ting very low, and the steamers on the Panama are experiencing considerable trouble. The nights are very cold and this is the cause of tine sudden fall of the water. The Chandlar River heads right in the Arctic range of mountains and a sthe season is getting very late there is not much drainage in the va- rious watersheds tributary to the Chandlar
 In all probability the company will build ways where the steamer now lies, and wil ldrag her clear of the water so the ice will not bother her ir the spring. The crew will stay by the boat and get her in safe quarters be- fore leaving.

Catches Message From eibbon Soon
 After Leaving St. Michael.

FAIRBANKS, Sept 2O.--The big stern wheeler Will H. Isom is coming up the Yukon with a heavy cargo of freight. She is the first river boat ever equipped with wireless apparatus. Soon after leaving St. Michael an operator on the Isom caught a mes sage from the Fort Gibbon station, and since the that time the steamer and Fort Gibbon have never been out of eommunication.
 This system will be a great benefit to the river steamers in the future, and since 1t has been put to practical usefulness, will liely be installed on the steamers which deliver supplies to the outlying districts where there is no land service at present.
 This, the latest test which has been made by the wireless men. is probably the most successful experiment of all and 1t win prove surprise to all who have not been following the late ex-
 dF. now the apparatus is in-
 4 the steamer.

Holdlup your chin and smile!
Yous cannot be a pessimist and be

the bright outlook, are absolute essen

Every effort to organize the smile

Just now the country still feels

men generally expect dull conditions
until after the presidential election
aud usually get what they expect.
1t is therefore the more necessary
that people should be stimulated by

Panics are largely psychological.

Capital begins to hedge. Men are out

When the historian comes to investi-

caused by fear. The scare originated
in the discouraging remarks of some
body supposed to know. Some one

peoples minds. The people were hyp-

Take the present year.
It is the popular belief and express

necessarily be slow year in CONNER

belief this year is likely to be a dull
