of course. he soon found out. Tele-
grams and letters of protest now are
made quickly and numerously. The
heads of general organizations simply
send out the directions what to do. But
the messages had the desired effect for
they made the President little less en-
thusiastic about such legislation.
The kilograms of protest were also
turned loose upon Representative Town
send, of Michigan, the Republican who
undertook to lead the recalcitrant Re
publicans of the House into a combina-
tion with the militant minority. Every
business organization in his district
awakened suddenly to the fact that
there was a great menace in the pro
posed legislation. That made Mr.. Town
send quit. He decided that he had had
enough Of anti-injunction bills. He had
also been laboring with officials of the
Department of Justice and eventually
realized that satisfactory bills could not
be drawn till after long study of the
subjects. Accordingly that feature OF
the legislative activity seems to have
collapsed for this session.

TO PERFECT HIGH SCHOOL COURSE
Important Conference Of Deputy
superintendent and Princi-
pals Held at Elko

DIR. J. K. Stubs, President Of Nevada
University, in his capacity as a member
Of the State Board Of Education, called
a meeting of the three deputy superin'
tendents and the high school principals
of the eastern part of the State at Elko.
Saturday. Feb. 30, for the purpose of
considering the following questions rel
alive to a uniform course Of study for
the high schools of Nevada:
what should be the required work
of a high school for graduation?
(a) How many distinct courses OF
study should you have in your high
school?
(b) Should your high school course
require three years or four years for
completion?
(c) How much attention can you
give to agricultural studies in your high
school course?
(d) How much attention can you
give to purely business studies in your
high school?
2-Should the standard Of admission
to the University of Nevada be an ideal
standard, or a standard based upon the
degree OF advancement of the students
of Nevada?
3-What is the educational sentiment

sentiment should we teachers go?
Has the State Board Of Education
the legal power to arrange the high
school course of study and to require i,
to be observed?
5-The University of Nevada requires
a high school diploma for admission to
Its Normal School. The course of study
in the State Normal School if completed

SMELLING RESUMPTION PROBABLE
Pending Negotiations, Ii Success
full, Mean Renewal of Oper-
atoms On Ruby Hill

1t seems quite probable from the way
things are shaping themselves that 1t
is only q matter of a short time when
the farmers and smelling companies In
Utah will reach an amicable agreement
in the settling OF their differences re-
9arding the smslter fumes trouble. The
farmers have already conceded q very
important point in the controversy. and
IL no hitch occurs in the negotiations
now going forward it is very likely the
smelters will soon be running full blast.
This would mean the resumption Of OPP
e~rations at the Richmond Eureka on
Ruby Hill as we'll as by individual mine
owners who have been shipping to Salt
Lake.
The Lalt Lake Tribune of February
% contains the following information
tending toward a settlement Of the here
tofore vexed question:
Farmers and Smelters Getting Together
Over 500 farmers, representing the en-
tire southern section Of Salt Lake Coun-
ty, extending south from Murray and
east to Draper and Union and west to
the extreme mountains, met at Sandy
Monday evening, and by an almost
unanimous vote decided to extend the
same privileges enjoyed by the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company to
the United States Smelling and Rein.
ing Company. which owns the large
smelter at Bingham Junction. The
action of the farmers in determining to
grant this privilege to the smelters of
Bingham junction comes az q direct
concession by them to the smelling
interests of the valley.
The extension which the farmers
would grant to the United States Smelt-
ing and Refining Company applies only
to that part of the plant which handles
lead ores. 1t is, however, a valuable
concession.
The closing of the smelters has had a
marked effect on business in Sandy and
other centers in the southern end Of Salt
Lake County. One merchant declared.
after the meeting, that business had
fallen off 80 per cent since the smelters
were closed. The farming interests of
the valley and the commercial interests
have become so linked with the smelling
industry in providing for those persons
employed at the smelters that when the
big industrial plants were closed o
marked change came over the section.
It's effect was almost Immediately felt
by the farmers near the commercial
centers. 1t was because of this effect
that the farmers met Monday evening
aud SO unanimously decided to grant
additional privileges to the smelters.
