VICTORY FOR LABOR.
Trade Unions Officially Recognized by
British Government

A very important concession has
been made by the British admiralty by
officially recognizing trade unions. In
reply to the demands of the dockyard
uien the admiralty agreed hereafter in
the event of disputes to meet deputa-
tons of the workmen either in London
or at the dockyards. 1t also not only
accorded permission to the men in gov
eminent employ to select their own
representatives from the dockyards,
but will allow them to be accompanied
by trade union leaders not employed
in the yards.
The favoring policy which the Brit
ish government has long pursued to-
ward labor organizations reaches in its
latest development Il quite unprece-
denied stage. In the Taft Vale and
Osborne cases it had to do with the
relations between labor and private
employers, and in them it strongly ia
vored the former Now it extends the
same principle to relations between la
Dor and the government itself as an
employer. Hereafter the admiralty in
the national dockyards will recognize
the unions and will treat with them
through their epreSentativeS-who
may be outsiders, not in government
employ-instead of directly with the
men in case of any dispute over wages
or conditions of employment.
The supreme Importance of this is
obvious. Hereafter if the employees
at Portsmouth or in London go on
strike or make demands, instead of
dealing directly with them, the govern
ment may have to negotiate with
board of walking delegates from the
Yorkshire wooden mills or from the
mines of Wales. 1t will also be con-
fronted with the question of the 'clos-
ed shop and may be required to estab-
lish the rule that none but union mem
bers will be admitted to government
employ, so that the public service will
be substantially "unionized"
Whether it is judicious or not, this
course is certainly consistent. The
government is simply adopting for it
self the policy which it has practically
prescribed or at least has strongly ia
vored for all other employers of labor.
The effects of it will be watched for
with intense interest, particularly its
effects upon the present working agree
ment between the LaboriteS and the
Liberals in parliament

REST FOR WORKERS.
International Congress Adopts Drastic
Resolutions.

The closing day of the international
conference for the protection of work
ers at Berne, Switzerland, was marked
by the adoption of a resolution declar-
ing that workers must be allowed a
nightly repose of eleven consecutive
hours, which in all cases must include
the hours from 10 p. m. to a. m.
Exception, however, is made in regard
to coal miners, whose hours of repOse
may be changed, but must be longer.
Boys under fourteen years of age were
absolutely forbidden to work at night
by another resolution.
The convention was signed by the
delegates from Great Britain, Ger
many, Austria, Belgium, Spain, France,
Italy, Norway, Holland, Sweden, Por-
tugal and Switzerland, subject to legis-
lation in the various countries. Other
delegates, among them the Russian,
decided to refer the convention to their
governments for signature.
The United States was not represent
ed at the conference.

LONDON POLICE ORGANIZE.
Form Union and Expect to Force Au-

The policemen of London have be.
come inoculated with the trade union
germ, and a provisional committee
drawn from their ranks has been busy
for some time enrolling members in
what has been named the Metropoli.
tan Police Trade union.
Every member of the force below the
rank of superintendent is eligible foI
membership, and the men are Joining
in such numbers that the organizers
anticipate that the union will be strong
enough by Christmas to force the au.
thorities to recognize it.
The metropolitan police force at the
end of 1912 consisted of 33 superin
tendents, COS inspectors, 2,6S7 ser.
geants and 17,011 policemen, making a
total of 20,339, but the figures have
been somewhat increased this year.

Labor Conditions In Colorado.

Labor conditions in Colorado were
described by Congressman Heating OF
that state in a recent address before

a condition of political and industrial
slavery existed in his state and that
the "big interests" ran things there in
a high handed manner. At the con-
clusion of his address Congressman
Heating offered a resolution. which
was adopted. directing that the house

lions in the mines of Colorado.

BADGE OF HONOR.

The union label is a badge of
honor, a guarantee of wholesome
conditions for the workers.
When the people in the labor
movement more fully realize
these facts, then will the day of
better conditions for all arrive.
While all the political elections
are going on, don't forget that
the union label needs your atten-
ton. Political parties go in and
out, but the union label must be
kept in the forefront.
The liberties of the whole peo-
pie are being preserved by the
trade unions. Organize, educate
and federate.
Don't forget 1.-THE label.

While some of the movements have
come up against cold and rocky
shore, yet others seem to come as the
crest OF the sea. This morning in the
Assembly Fitzgerald of Eureka, came
forward and presented the expected
bill abolishing the State Police. At
the same time he presented a meas
ure which abolishes a commissary for
the State Police. The two measures
were sent to the Committee on Indi-

lhe Government has recently ap-

Of land of the desert-basin type in

very. to contain valuable deposits of
potassium salts and brines.
The aggregate area thus withdrawn

Withdrawals covered Columbus Marsh
in Nevada. and was approved on jan

the famous Searles Lake. California
and was approved on February 2l
1913. The third included lands in the
Panamt Valley California. the acre
age affected being 24,567 acres
Searles Lake is the last remaining
pocket of great ancient lake. which
has almost dried up. thus ccncentrat-
ing a vast amount of saline minerals.
Millions of tons of salt. soda and bo-
rax fill the bottom of the lake. and
the deposits of soda and borax have
been worked. but the development of
the potash in the lake deposits had
not been considered until recently
The bitter disputes. amounting al
most to. warfare. that have resulted
from the attempts to secure title to
the potas sian-rich lands of Searles
Lake since the discovery of potash
there have not only resulted in the
postpooement OF the highly desirable
experimental work on the deposits
them selves but have shown the utter
inadequacy Of the present laws for the
acquisition of lands of this type.
The bed of Searles Lakes is blank
eted with filings. the majority of
which have been under the general
placer law providing that 100 acres
may be entered as an association plac-
er, but there is danger that the legal
ity of these filings may be destroyed
by arrangement made prior to patent,
to combine a group Of placers after
patent is received in order to obtain
an area large enough to serve as ba-
sis for a plant for extracting and re-
6ning the salts.

HOT SPRINGS
PRETTY BUSY

Yesterday was a pretty busy day at
the Hot Springs. 1t required half
dozen autos to transfer the loads that
went to the resort for the Sunday
bath, while record time was main
tanned by the Springs auto At the
present time the road leading to the
Springs is pretty we'll cut up and dus
ty. This is owing to the fact that
there was no storm to lay the dust.
The last big snow storm blew off and
the road without coating that other
wise would have made better road
conditions. From all appearances the
autos chug by so lively that the dust
never has a chance to get in hailing
distance.

ASKS FOR
REGULATION
Of LICENSE
Fish Law works Hard.
ship on Our Guests

I. I. Hennlngsen. manager OF the
Glenbrook Improvement Company at
that point on Lake Tahoe. Is spending
a few days in this city. He with 9th
crs is interested in number OF legis-
latve doings, among them being the
collecting of licenses on fishing. This
matter at Lake Tahoe /, causing a
great deal of adverse criticism. The
fish law provides license CT one dol
lar from the Nevadan and asks ten
dollars from the outsider CT tourist.
1t seems to be the most unjust propo-
sitiou that i on the code. Nevada
begs the tourist to come to her lakes
and streams. promises and advertses
all kinds OF fishing. and when the
tourist lands it is found that he must
pay ten dollars for few days fish
ing. California, on the other side OF
Lake Tahoe. charges no fish license
and as a consequence the visitor who
would have remained on the Nevada
Dcuii'idiN sues W ,dtt''ii' SlNNS
Nevada round cussing and puts in
a knock" wherever he can.
The same exists along tire rivers.
The visitor is compelled to pay ten
dollars to fish in our streams that we
advertise as being the mecca of sport
No complaint is made relative to
the hunting license. which is bad
enough. but summer resorts which de-
pend on their existence by the travel
ing public at Nevada's lakes have a
just complaint TO enter L is hoped
that this law will be amended so that
the man from the next door state. or
from any foreign shore. may have the
privilege OF fishing with the same dol
lar license that is exacted oof any OF
Ncvada's people.
During the past two years it is
figured that the resorts on the Neva-
da side OF Lake Tahoe have lost thous
ands Of dollars by this unjust license
law. while California has benefited
at this states expense. There is no
occasion for such license and the
dollar license as applied TO all would
bring in many a guest who would
leave his coin. where he lodges at the
prohibitive and exorbitant charges OF
ten dollars for the fun OF fishing.

This company has been the most per
sistent and substantial of any of the
mining companies doing business in
this section The equipment is all
first-class. the work most thorough
and some excellent copper ore has
been found The object of continuing
to the deep levels is in order to get to
