STATE ARBITRATION BOARD
IN NEVADA TO SETTLE
STRIKES

Settlements of strikes in mining
camps by a proposed state arbitra-
ton board is contemplated in Ne
vada according to the Elko Free
Press. in discussing the recent strike
in Ely. A wire from Ely says: THE
labor troubles mere are settled and
the men returned to work yesterday.
No wage concessions were granted
by the company but an adjustment
Eoard to care for the future differ
ences is to be created by federal and
STATE action immediately"
The labor troubles that threatened
for time to tie up the production of
the mines in Ely district started last
month, when the firemen en-
ployed on the railroad that transports
the ore from the Nevada Consolidat-
ed Copper Company's mine to the
smelter went on strike when the COM
pany refused to meet demand for an
increase of 50 cents day in wages.
and time and one-half for overtime.
The engineers and switchmen soon
followed the firemen and as result
about half OF the mill was tied up.
The men employed on the "dinkey"
trains in the big pit also struck for
an increase in wages the same day.
Governor Boyle and State Labor
Commissioner Cole were. called at
once to Ely to assist in adjusting mat
tiers. After several conferences be-
tween the members OF theNnion and
the operators the men agreed to go
back to work providing their rights
were protected by am adjustment
board and practically every man who
went out returned to work yesterday
morning and the mine production is
going on the same as usual. The
strike tied up about half the property.
When Governor Boyle was in Eiko
several weeks ago on tour OF the
state strike was threatened at that
time and it was decided then to organ
lie state arbitration board as soor
as possible. 1t is thought that this
plan will be carried out within the
next few days.

Show a Liberal Spirit in Giving
Universal Transfers
Bx EARL WIN.
The Street Railway Companies Have Great Cha
Advance Of Washington.

Washington is about to enter into era, 1t is
about to expand 1t about to take step forward much
greater than before in its history and the gentlemen
IN control of public utilities have grave responsibility
upon their shoulders
Will they show liberal spirit That is the question
in the minds of the public viii they turn their backs
upon the old idea of EVERYTHING for the corporation
and NOTHING for the publicf Or will they realize that
they partners with the PUBLICf
The first test of their spirit will be shown In their
reception of the forthcoming recommendations concerning
universal transfers The initial in these
dations will come it likely, from John A Beeler,
traffic expert 1t is safe predict that his recommended
tons will be marked by broad liberaty arising from
thorough study into what is best for the riding public and
founded intimate knowledge of exactly the equip
ment owned by the two railway companies.
The street railway companies give better service
than they giving Their service be improved by
fuller of and men, and also be improved by
companies have made praseworthy advances both
ice and spirit, but still there is for Improvement
Coming down to specific examples it is sincerely hoped
that the street railway companies will not merely favor CIV
ing universal transfers at isolated points where few pas
sengers want them. The BIG thing which will give Wash
ngton BOOST will be to allow universal transfers at the
heavy traffic points, where ninety five per cent of the peo
age Without knowing exactly what is in the minds of the
members of the Public Utilities Commission would point
out four prominent points where universal transfers would
be of tremendous use to the public:
These points Eighteenth street and Columbia road
northwest Seventh street and Florida northwest
Eighth and streets southeast and Fourteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue northwest There are many other
valuable to the public, and doubt all of them will
be under discussion merely take four prominent nersec
ons to show the street railway companies the possibilities
of showing liberal spirit to their passengers.

I NEXPERIENCE may detract
from the weight Of argument,


but it surely gives zest to
speculation. So while reading the
following opinions on the subject
of promiscuous kissing by one who
has never been so kissed, may
seem a good deal like being asked
to ride the whirlwind without be-
ing allowed to direct the storm"
still It seems to me that as frank
statement of thoughts which must
have lurked in other girls minds
this letter cannot fail to arouse
in my readers of both sexes de-
sire to make little stocktaking
of their own emotions and princi-
pies, be the result ever SO different
from this quoted observer, in the
matter OF the casually given kiss
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am twenty years old and have
never been kissed Ivy a man outside
my family, and until about a month
ago considered kissing and spoon
ing sinful and degrading. But since
then my ideas have changed. i
have always been considered a girls
girl, and consequently ] have a
wide circle of girl friends. Among
these l am very intimate with at
least fifteen. and know that every
one of them permit men to kiss
them. With but few exceptions the
girls OF this group will not permit
such a thing on their first, second.
or even third evening with a man.
but when they have been OUT with
man four or five times, they look
upon a goodnight kiss as the
natural course of events. You will
probably conclude from this that
these girls are all of the same type
and of a low class, but that Is not
so. Among them is a stenographer
with an eighth-grade education and
a business course. She is looking
for a good time and nothing more
And there Is another stenographer
who is a graduate of a State Normal
School. Some OF the others have
the usual high school education;
two have A. B. degrees, and one is
a graded school teacher. and two
others were high school teachers
before they came TO this city for
work. They all seem to think kiss
ing is not harmful, and does not les
sen a mans respect for a girl.
And there is the subject OF kisses
before being engaged. l have asked
several married women's opinion of
this. Some of their answers are:
"a stolen kiss now and then will
