rn..spapers believe. is calmer in tone

think the contents of the speech hardly
calculated to bring peace nearer.

President Wilson made mistake in ex-

Count CZernin and other ministers have
always made clear that any attempt to
interfere with Austria Hungary's inter
national policy would be inadmissible.

STANDARD WAGES FOR
NEVADA RANCHES PROPOSED

Reno Gazette April %: A stand
ard wage scale for farm laborers in
Nevada and possibly a standard
menu" for men working on farms
and in the hay fields will be one OF
the big questions that will be con-
sidered at the war conference in
Reno on May 16 and IL.
At a meeting of Elko County Cat
tlemen's Association at Elko on Sat-
urday these points were brought up
and discussed and a delegation from
Elko County will come to Reno pre-
pared to submit their views to the
farmers, ranchers and cattlemen OF
the State on the subject.
The Elko County cattlemen adopt
ed a wage scale of So a day for field
laborers and $3.75 a day for stackers
for nine and one-half hours work.
They will submit this wage scale.
which includes room and board. at
the conference and ask that it be
made Statewide and thus do away
with the competition that now exists
among farmers and ranchers for la
Dor.
H. A. Lennon, director of the
State Council of Defense. returned
yesterday morning from the confer
ence and said that he believes the
proposition taken up by the Elko cat
tlemen will do much to relieve the
labor situation in this State. He
made a short talk to the delegates on
food problems and the farmers
| pledge themselves to follow strict
food regulations on the farms this
| Summer both in their own homes and
in feeding the laborers.
Elko County was divided up into
districts and a committeeman ap-
pointed to canvass each district and
secure pledges from the farmers to
live up to the food regulations in
feeding their hired men. 1t is thought
possible that a standard menu" will
be established for the farmers thai
will comply with the food regulation:
and at the same time will assure
farm laborers of good meals.
