the first and sole consideration. Wher-
ever possible to dispense with state
boards or commissions, he will ask the
legislature to abolish them.

any public oficial can follow Is to give

so busy as a candidate, l have had no

So far the conference of the union
was a resolve to hold out for the de-
mands of the strikers. The meet
ing was held with A. l.. Wilde, bust
ness representative of the Associated
Union of Steam Shovelmen, who is
acting for President Charles II. Mo-
yer, of the Western Federation of
Miners The substance of a state
ment issued after the meeting fol-
lows:
If Governor Spry refuses to use his
best offices to call a conference be-
tween representatives of the strikers
in Bingham, who are also union Of
ficials, ana The mine operators, the
strike will be carried to all the
camps in which the Jaekling crowd
is interested. The first move will be
made at Ely, where the men have
agreed to stand by the Bingham
strikers. Then strikes will follow in
other camps.
Leaders of the union are working
against detection in their ranks. Of
ficials of the copper companies say
they expect many men to return to
work when the opportunity is offer
| ed. Twenty-Five foreign races are
represented among the $500 strikers
and it is argued by the operators that
their leaders cannot keep them unit
ed long.
Last night coyotes appeared on
the moon-lieked canyon slopes and
broke the silence with their calls.
This recalled an old superstition that
the appearance of these animals in a
mining camp prefaces either a long
| tie-up or a catastrophe.

city to set aside money to take care
of the city's so-called bonded or in

the taxes will not be sufficient to do
this. The running expenses of the
city cannot be very much reduced
from what they are now, and at this
time they consume all the money re-
csived from licenses so it seems to
me that we are bound to have a de-
ficieney of several thousand dollars.

ates to Tonopah by automobiles, and
that the trip may not take longer
than is necessary, part of the work
of initiation will be done at Tonopah
and part at Goldfeld, the same night
The lodge will bear the expense of
the automobile journey for the candi-
dates. At both camps the candidates
will be given opportunity to see the
mines and other sights of interest.

Threat To Extend Bingham Strike
Unless Gov. Spry Calls Conference

Incidents developed yesterday that
give strong reason to believe the
Bingham strike was still far from a
peaceful settlement.
Following a meeting of the leaders
of unions affected yesterday after
noon, the declaration was made that
the strike would be carried to all
camps in which ID. c. Jackling and
other Bingham operators were inter-
ested. unless Governor William Spry
used his influence to bring about a
conference between union leaders, as
representing the strikers. and Bing-
ham mine operators.
At Bingham a move regarded as
significant was made when the depn-
ty sheriffs, who heretofore have been
quartered in an almost compact body
were scattered and posted about the
canyon and at points of vantage on
the hills. This followed a visit to
the camp of Sheriff Joseph c. Sharp,
Deputy Sheriff Axel Steele and Depu-
ty A. A. Butler, the latter two re-
naming in the camp after the
sheriff's return to Salt Lake. There
was no visible evidence of any move
on the part of the strikers. By after
noon, the sheriff's forces practically
controlled the hills overlooking the
mines and the city.
1t was reported that the strikers
largely Greeks had scattered out
along the highways to and from
Bingham, and are now holding VI
automobiles and vehicles to learn
whether the occupants are strike
breakers. Postmaster G. II. Roberts
by personal experience, bears out this
assertion.

Two Views of
Labor Issue
PRESIDENT MOYER AND GENER-
AL MANAGER LAKENAN ISSUE
SIGNED STATEMENTS.
President Meyers Statement.

Il came to Ely to make some de.
mands, all of which l think are per.
fectly fair. First we want what Is
called recognition of the union. -
which means nothing more than that
the company enters into an agree
ment with the union for a specific
period. We are not asking the Ne
yada Con. to permit us to dictate as
to whom they shall employ.
THE Amalgamated has done this.
When the ive-year contract expired
in June IL was renewed for three
years, with an increase of so cents a
day for all underground men and 25
cents for smelter and mill men. The
company evidently recognizes that it
is good business policy to thus treat
with the union In an amicable way
Regarding the volunteered"
raise in wages offered by the COM
panies here, IL is not enough; 1t is
a mere bagatelle in comparison with
the increase in profits since copper
went up from I5c To the present
price Many men vii sill have TO
work for less than two dollars a day
and that is net sufficient in this high
price camp fer a man . live on, It
is dire poverty If he cTances II have
a family.
AS ! understand IL. the general
manager here has said that II the
wages offered is not satisfactory. let
the men say so and ask for more.
That Is what We are going TO do;
that is the object Of the conference
requested. which | hope Will result
in a settlement of the pending trou-
BILE. .CHAS. H. MOYER.'

GRAND JURY'S REPORT
TO DISTRICT COURT

Ely, Nevada. September "a, 1912.
To the Honorable Ben w. Coleman,
Judge of the Ninth Judicial Dis
trict Court:
Sir:-The grand jury begs leave
to submit the following report of its
session commencing September 9Th
1912.
The case of H. T. Carayantes,
charged with forgery, and the case
w. A. Bennington, charged with as
sault with intent to do great bodily
injury was ignored, but the grand
jury recommends in this case that
both the accused and the person
upon whom the injury was inflicted
be prosecuted in the Justices court
on a charge of disturbing the peace.
The following indictments were re-
turned by the grand jury:
Joseph Marovitch, charged with
murder.
John Borcavitch, charged with as
sault with intent to kill.
B. J. Smithson, charged with as
sault with a deadly weapon with in
tent to do great bodily harm.
We find the statutes provide for
county board of health, consisting of
the county commissioners, the sheriff
and the county physician, who is
chairman of the board. White Pine
county has a board of commissioners,
sheriff and a county physician, but
the commissioners, sheriff and coun-
ty physician have never met as a
board of health, hence there is no
organized effort made to improve
sanitary conditions. The county
commissioners, sheriff and county
physician seem to act in their indi-
vidal capacities, independently of
each other. and your grand jury
would recommend that their forces
be united and act as a unit in looking
after sanitary conditions and the
countys health.
Your grand jury is of the opinion
that the system of changing county
physicians at short intervals is not
good cne. We recommend that a
change be made not oftener than
every six months, or better still, once
year, unless for cause.
We find the records of births and
deaths have been correctly kept by
the various county physicians but
that there is no complete record of
births and deaths in the county recor-
der's office. The last birth recorded
in the county's books was in April,
1911, and the last death in June,
1911. A record of births and deaths
furnishes valuable data for the board
of health but is even more valuable
as a county record and We would
