Special arrangements Will be made for
a first-class umpire and the game will be
started promptly 1on time. as an extra
inning contest is very possible.

Will Give Way to
Carson Labor Day

A letter was received in this office
some time ago from the racing COM
mittee connected with the recent 4th
of July celebration in Carson City,
lnquiring if the Comstock contem-
plated any observance Of Labor Day.
If not, the committee proposed to at
tempt to have a race meet in their
city on Labor Day. Nothing of def
committee has not made any investi-
cation to ascertain if it will be pos
sfole to hdd such a meet. The pro-
position will not be considered if
Virginia Intends to celebrate. After
investigation it is found quite pos
sible that no celebration will be held
here this year and the committee will
be advised to that effect.
The Appeal of last evening says:
"Prompted by the success which pro-
misses to repay Reno for its endeavor
in getting up the racing meet, a num-
Der of citizens of Carson are prepar-
ing to form an organization with a
view a little later on of holding 4

city. After organization, which will
be completed in few days, an effort
will be made to secure the old race
track east of town and put it in
proper shape. Should getting this
property fail, another tract will be
secured. .'-Enterprise.

Los Angeles Loses
No Opportunity

Parties arriving in Carson the last
few days in autos from the east ell
route to San Francisco state that at
Ely, Salt Lake and other points Los
Angeles agents have been stationed
and are Sirecting all tourists to take
the Midland trail, which branches of
at Ely and take to the roads that
lead to fonopah and Goldfield anil
thence on south to the City of the
Angels. In their pleadings the
agents are doing effective work and
winning many autoists, who first
contemplated coming this way, over
to the southern route. The Los An
geles representatives are not to be
blamed for doing this for they are
pulling for their home section and
doing that for which they are paid.
But their plans should be circum-
vented and the towns of Nevada
through which passes the Lincoln
highway, should get together and
send men to Ely and Salt Lake to
head off the Los Angeles men and
beat them to it," The Lincoln high
way through Nevada is vastly super
ior to the Midland and it will require
but little argument to convince tour
lists of that fact, once they are orally
communicated with. The Reno Com
mercial club should take the initiative
in this r.>Ster and may accomplish >
lot Of good.

Ben TiIlett, British Labor Leader,
Organizing Strike Against Germany

BY Wilbur S. Forrest. United
Press staff correspondent.
LONDON, July ?, by mail to New
York.-Ben Tillett, the British per-
soniiication of Mother Jones, Bill
Haywood, Charles Meyer and Samuel
Gompers, all rolled into one, is or
ganizing another strike in England.
Tillett has conducted hundreds OF
strikes. He's the one m.n who holds
British labor under his thumb. When
Ben Tilctt tells British labor 10
strike British labor strikes. When he
told British transport workers 20
strike two years ago, British trans
port workers tied up traffic facilities
OF London and practically every I'M
portant industrial center.
Tillctt today is organizing the Dig
gest strike he has yet attempted. His
latest strike is against the Germans
and he is urging every union labor
man III Great Britain to get on The
job"
I'm preaching bloody murder,

workmcn assembled at London ir-

every ounce of British energy and
every ounce OF British gold to get
behind and push. British capitalists
have got to get into the game. They
have got to get rid OF the idea thai
war is being waged to give them
profits.
I'VE want ammunition, shells; We
want gas; we want every hellish
death-dealing device known to man
we want the fighting spirit. We're
going on strike against the Germans.
If we don't strike now and strike
hard there is no use striking. The
capitalist must strike with us. If we
don't crush the Germans tomorrow
therell be no capitalists. Every man
who can't get into khaki can get into
the workshops. We're fighting Prus-
sianism; something that has been
preparing to murder civilization for
forty years. Our fight must not be

to murder back and murder back
hard as we can. 1t must be slaughter
for civilizations sake. Get busy and
let's Slaughter
And so, Ben Tilett, who before
the war hated capital like a Bill
Haywood. fought industrial oppres-
sion like Meyer and inhamed work
men against both like a "Mother"
Jones, has transferred his hate and
sighting capabilities to the Germans
and is telling British workmen froal
platforms and soap boxes to get into
the game.
While Lloyd-George, the new min
lister OF munitions is mobilizing III

and, to use his own expression, he's

LaboreIs who refused to listen to
members of the British cabinet who
have been speaking throughout Eng
land on the need of national defense
are listening to Tillett. Tillett is one
of them and they believe what he
says.
Tillett has just returned fr.rt
Northern France where he saw the
German menace, chatted with some

I've learned that there is another

| Iillett, however, is telling the gov
ernment something with no less We

strike against Germany the manufac-
turers and capitalists Of England
must play the game.

that while they are sweating and
laboring and dying for their country
