SPRING COLDEST IN
LAST TWENTY YEARS

The first three months of 1917. ac-
cording to the records of the Reno
weather bureau, were the coldest the
state has experienced in 20 years,
only twice in twenty-seven years has
the average temperature for the first
three months of the year fallen lower
than average temperature of January.
February and March this year.
The average temperature of the
hrst three months of the year in the
vicinity of Reno, as shown by rec
ords covering 27 years, is So degrees
above zero. In 1890 and again in
1897 the average temperature for the
three months fell far below the gem
eral average, being but 80 degrees
above zero. The average temperature
or January, February and March
this year was but 81 degrees above
zero, but one degree higher than the
coldest average known here since the
Keeping OF records was begun, in
1890.
There have, of course, been times
when lower daily temperatures have
been recorded during the first three
months; times when it has been far
colder than any of the extremely cold
days so far this year, but the average
temperature of the first quarter of
1917 came very close to the record

ACCIDENT AT NO. 1 NINE
ON. SATURDAY LAST

What might have been a very SER
lous accident occurred at Amalgamat-
ed Phoebe No. shaft last Satur-
day.
About 600 feet down the shaft the
Greenwood Leasing company recent
ly began a cross-cut, which is to he
run to connect up with the lower

1t appears that Sup't w. T. McNabb
or the leasing company had been
down to inspect the progress of WORK
at the point mentioned and after
completing the inspection, rang for
the cage and came to the surface.
Meanwhile, John Mitchell, who was
engaged as carman, failed to not
ice that the cage was not at
the station, pushed a loaded mine
car into the shaft,
The car landed at the 1900 level
without doing serious injury to the
eshaft. Mitchell narrowly ESCAPED
being jerked in after the car.
1t required couple of days to get
everything in shape again.

Socialists Expel Two
Who Oppose Germany
Milwaukee County Committee
Gusts Leaders Who Crit.
cised Attitude

Milwaukee. May 2i.-Socialist men,
bers OF the county central committee
met last night and expelled from the
party Winfield K. Gaylord and A. VI.
Simons, for many years leaders in the
Socialist movement in Wisconsin. Mr..
Gaylord. who is an attorney. has been
a candidate for Congress on the Social
ist ticket at every primary for several
years and has been recognized as one
of the leaders of the party. Simons is
one Of the founders OF the Socialist
movement. lie has been editor OF sew
eral Socialist publications and has
written books on the subject.
The real reason for this action is the
fact that both members have been too
outspoken in criticising the pro-Ger-
man anti-American attitude of the So
cialist party here and at the st. Louis
convention.
"The expulsion of Gaylord ard my
self" said Mr.. Simons to-day. 'is an
informal notice that any one who holds
n closer alliance 20 the United States
than to the Hohenzollerns, or to Serial
ism rather than autocracy, is not
wanted in the Milwaukee Socialist
party"

u. S. Labor Not to
Join in Stockholm
Peace Conference

Washington, May 2i.-Anothor effort
to get Americans TO participate in peace
parleys at Stockholm failed to-day,
when President Gompers Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor declined an
invitation to send delegates 20 a Stock
holm trade union congress to discuss
the claims of labor in connection with
peace negotiations.
The congress will meet simultaneous
" with the Socialist peace conference.
on which the State Department has
put its stamp of disapproval by refus-
ing passports to Americans expecting
10 participate and by warning citizens
that such participation would be in
violation Of the law.
The Federation of Labor's invitation
came in a cablegram from President
Oudegeest of the Dutch Federation of
Trade Unions. In reply, Mr. Gompers
cabled:
Long before the United States en-
tered the war the American Federation
of Labor proposed an international con-
ference after the war, and at the time
and place where the representatives OF
each government were TO meet TO de-
termine the treaties and international
relations. That proposition was re-
jected. Now, after the United States
is in the war. you propose confer
ence, to be held at Stockholm, at the
same time and place when the So
called International Socialist Confer
ence is to be held at Stockholm. and
this proposition, too, without consulta-
ton with trade union centres of the
United States and other countries.
There is no time by which American
organized labor could select delegates
TO attend the Stockholm conference,
June 8, and ] cannot see how any GOOD
could come from our participation IN
such congress at this time
Federation of Labor officials believe
the advances made for their support
were prompted by German interests, IN
asmuch as the head Of the lnterna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions,
which ordered the conference, is Carl
Legein. a German labor leader.
No meetings Of the International
Federation have been held since the
war started.
