MORE SNOW FELL AT GoLDFIELD
THAN is RECORDED AT
MANHATTAN

The storm, which has continued
for the past two days, has already
produced 50 of an inch of water,
with about 9 inches of snow now on
the ground This is the heaviest
snowfall of the season and a number
of sleigHs were on the streets today.
while the small boys are preparing
courses for shedding. A feature of
the storm was the lack of wind after
the precipitation began, giving the
ground a uniform covering. The
ground was not frozen and there will
be little runoff.. the soil absorbing
the water. so that 1t will do the most
good Old timers forecast that this
will result in a wealth of deser,
flowers this spring, while the range
feed will doubtless be better than in
years.
Reports from Manhattan this morn
ing are that only eight inches fell
there, while a telephone message
from Goldfield reports that there is
a foot of snow on the ground and
still falling. This evidences that the
center of the storm, which was gen.
orally from the west. passed to the

WORKING WOMEN
OPPOSED TO BILL
TELEGRAPHER ASKS THAT NE.
vADA LAWMAKER ACT JUST.
LY TOWARD THEM

When the eight-hour bin for women
was introduced, the Bonanza opposed
1t, believing that it would work hard
ship upon employed women and serve
turned in the direction of certain
labor agitators. This point is proven
by the following communication ad-
dressed 20 the editor of the Gazette:
1t has come to the time where
women telegraphers must have pro
lection. In behalf of the women
telegraphers of the State of Nevada,
earnestly propose we form the
Telegraphers' Protective association,
without delay, to protect ourselves
from future proposed laws that may
be forced upon us by agitation.
The telegraphers are, as a matter
of fact, peaceful and level headed;
not seeking to do harm or force hard
ships on others and attending exclu-
sively to their own affairs. But when
the question of the eight-hour law for
women is forced upon us, we must
have voice in the matter There
are few positions in the state of Ne
vada for telegraphers, and there would
be fewer If this eight-hour bill should
become a law.
AS to us, who are familiar with the
business conditions of the state, we
know this eight-hour law for women
would work the utmost hardship upon
the women telegraphers and the ma
jority of the working women of the
state of Nevada. I also feel il our
duty to take this matter up with our
appealing to us for help. We know
the situation as 1t exists since the
eight-hour law was forced upon them
before they had time to consider the
effect or protest. There must be some
action taken to relieve this situation
for our sister operators and it is up
to us to protect ourselves and leave
no stones unturned to form this pro.
tective association for their good and
our own and protest against unfair
Legislation.
We consider the elght-hour law for
women unfair, unjust. uncalled for,
absolutely unnecessary and not asked
for. so far as we are concerned.
