SAFETY FIRST"

The Safety First movement, which is neither a fad not a pass
ing, spasmodic impulse to safeguard the lives OF the vast army OF
workers, has struck Nevada hard and it has struck it for keeps It
has been taken up by all classes Of people, by the railroads, the mine
and mill owners. all manners OF corporations, the university AMI
schools and the various labor unions. Next it will be taken up by
the political parties and be made a part of their platforms.
The movement is in line with the progrcssivcness, the desire to
do something good for ones icnowman, that has been apparently
awakening n the human heart for the past few years, and now being
put into practice in a number OF the state OF the Union.
In enc or two states 0 the Atlantic seaboard "safctv first" :;
being gwen a practical test by the putting in in shops, mills and
factories OF hfe-saving devices with the result that while there has
been an additional expense in the installing of the system. it has
been mor than compensated by the saving Of life.
In Nevada the first concerted steps leading to its general adop-
ton will be taken up at the Safety First" convention to be held in
Reno a few days hence, and which has been inspired by the action
and perdstency of the Industrial Insurance commission. At this meet
ing the subject matter will be gnc through in a thorough, prcG e
way, and from the fact that ample time has been given those who
participate, and they come from almost every industry in the state.
to httngly prepare themselves for the addresses for which they are
programmed, much good will evolve from their deliberations. and 4,
a result, within a very few months, Nevada will be in the "a in pro-
SressNencss and IN its purpose to really and truly better the conli-
ton OF its people and to safeguard their lives and limbs.

COLORADO GOVERNOR
 FACES IMPEACHMENT
State Legislature Meets In Special Session.

To pay the price for the seven months strike and civil war in south. ern Colorado the state legislature met In Denver in special session in re- sponse to the call of Governor E. Nj Ammons. Although the principal pur. pose of the session, us specified in the call, is the appropriation of funds tn meet the cost of. maintaining state troops In the field and to pass other laws suggested by the strike. these will probably be overshadowed at the outset by a plan to impeach the gov. ernor. That such a resolution will be introduced in the house seems certain. but friends of the governor are sure 1t will fall.
 D With the impeachment matter out o1 the road, it is probable that bills pro ,viding for compulsory arbitration. es- tablishment of permanent constabu. lary and regulation of the use of mine guards in strike disputes will be intro duced. Union members are bitterly opposed to the constabulary measures as discriminating against union men.
 It Is reported that Judge Horace Hawkins, attorney for the miners, will bring charges against John D. Rocke- feller. Jr., in connection with the massacre of Ludlow" If any of the union leaders are accused. +'
 The miners point to the verdict of the coroner's jury returned at Trini- dad and report of the military board of inquiry returned at Denver. One held the mine guards and militiamen directly responsible for the deaths of eleven children and two women at Ludlow; the other held the operators remotely responsible for the battle at Ludlow. E
