Understood They Prefer Strike to
Open Shop-Balloting Is Secret
New Foreman Named.

At a secret meeting held last evening
in the Eagles hall the machinists en-
plOyed al the Rio Grande shops voted on
the Open-shOp proposition which the Of
ficials of the Rio Grande have declared
will go into effect all over the system.
The ballot taken was a secret one and
the result will not be announced until aft
er the returns from all of the unions on
the Rio Grande system are received at
the union headquarters in Denver
1t is understood that the machiniSts of
the Salt Lake union are unfavorable to-
ward the proposition and that the vote
will be taken 10 mean that the union men
in the Salt Lake shops prefer to go on a
strike rather than continue at work if
non-union men are employed in the shops
A circular has been issued by A. H.
Cairns, master mechanic, announcing that
William Shepherd, man from the east
would succeed Z. B. Duckworth as fore
man of the machine shop at once.
1t was announced a few days ago in
Denver that the wages of the telegraph
opera tors would be cut and ii was Tu-
mOred that the trainmen would also have
a reduced wage scale as soon as the pres
ent contract with them could be abrOgat-
ed The local officials say that they have
received no orders from the general office
relative to either the telegraphers or the
trainmen.

OPERATORS HANG TOGETHER
No Change Will Be Made in the
Wage Scale at Goldfeld-Min-
ers May Take Action.
(Special to Ne Herald. }

Goldfield New. March "A special
meeting of the Western Federation OF
Miners union was held tonight, at
which it was proposed to call the strike
off and permit the members to re-
turn TO work wherever the Tonopah
scale would be paid. excepting at the
Consolidated properties The meeting
brought forth nothing but wrangling
and the matter went over until tomor-
row night when the regular meeting
will be held. The Mine Operators as
socia ton met this evening and discuss
ed the proposition, and then adopted
resolutions to the effect that there pc
no change made in the wage scale
which is under the Tonopah scale
as to the wages paid machine men and
muckers and that no change whatever
be made in the resolutions adopted
when the association was formed. The
resolution carried without a dissenting
vote and the operators are more firmly
than ever of one mind.
There have been heavy assertions
from the ranks of the federation dur
ing the past two weeks. The Little
Florence lease has sixty men who were
formerly members of the union and
today the Rogers lease started up with
forty men and had seventy applica-
lions. All the applicants were mem
bers of the Nevada Miners union.

STOMACH
TROUBLE
Cured by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills After Sufferer Had
DOCtOred for Years
in Vain.

The tonic treatment for indigestion is
having remarkable success in curing
obstinate cases of that distressing NAL
ady and deserves attention from every
sufferer. Its principle is that remedies
for indigestion that digest the food for
the stomach give relief for only short
time. Ultimately they unfit the stom-
ach to do its own proper work, because
they make its already weak power still
weaker by disuse, while the remedy that
strengthens the stomach makes it more
and more capable of digesting the food
for itself and this benefit lasts. A rem
edy that is a tonic not only for the stom-
ach but for the blood and nerves as well,
invigorates the entire system and makes
recovery from the weakening effects of
indigestion rapid and thorough
Miss Cynthia Hart, of 418 Z. Mulberry
street, Lebanon, Ohio, says: Il was a
sufferer from stomach trouble for several
years and found no relief in doctors or

LOADED FOR THE INQUIRY
SENATE COMMITTEE WOULD
NOT LISTEN TO CHARGES.

~ Washington, March 2.-Commander
William II. Sims. naval aide to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. by his own statement
is responsible for the row over crit
icisms OF battleship construction. At
the outset of his testimony before the
senate committee on naval affairs today
he gave the committee to understand it
could expect some sensations. This was
done in preliminary statement outIin-
ing what he had to do with naval crit
icisms, which he said began back in
1895, and was confined to official chan
nels

these criticisms" he said, and contin-

and now I am nearly so. I put this in

young man.

Continuing. he said he would have to
go into unpleasant facts, such as charg-
ing officers or inventors with having
made misleading statements, the secre-
ton of official documents and the re-
fusai of superior officers to accept sug-
gestions of value.
The plan of Commander Sims to give
the committee a sensation was upset
Immediately by Senator Tillman. who
suggested that the witness be instruct
ed to confine his testimony to alleged
faulty construction and to say nothing
at this time of criticisms made of per-
sonnet or incomplete organization or
other matters which are to be taken
up later. The commander asked that
he be permitted to continue his state
ment without interruption and that the
senator's would not cross examine him
until he had concluded his statement in
his own way. His request was ig-
noFed.
Witness Was Upset"
When confined to criticisms of con-
struction. Commander Sims protested
that the procedure of the committee
upset him.
you would upset the committee if
you went into all of those things at this
time" said Senator Tillman
Chairman Hale said the witness was

ance of criticism by naval officers as
that was a matter of ethics.
Don't you care to know if the de-
partment has resisted criticism" asked
the commander.

This incident furnished an Illustration
of subsequent proceedings during Com

called him back sharply.
Criticism of AdmiraIs.

and Caps were misleading. IF an
admiral should go out of port without
full bunkeTs-say on a cruise to the Pa
cff1c-and should meet an enemy
in the West Indies-he would be court

last thing that robins do. When they

they have flown their las. flight and

and cleared their bills on a napkin of

sleep sweeter for it.
Oh, that We might sing every even

song all the way through! Oh, that
we could put song under our burden!
Oh, that we could extract ths sense
Of sorrow by song! Then, sad things
would not poison so much.
When troubles come. go at them
with song. When griefs arise, sing
them down. Lift the voice of praise
against cares. Praise God by sing
ing; that will lift you above trials of
every sort. Attempt it. They sing

We must not forget that our call
