Wright Is a Victim of
Mysterious Shooting

j. II. Wright of McGil died at the
Steptoe hospital Friday night from
the effects of a bullet wound In the
stomach.
The details surrounding the death
OF the unfortunate man are rather
obscure Mrs. Wright appeared be-
fore District Attorney Edwards this
morning and related that the acct
dent occurred Friday morning while
Mr.. Wright was preparing to go on a
hunting trip. She said that her hns-
band was getting his guns ready and
while he was so engaged she left the
house for a short time, when she
heard shot and upon returning to
the house met her husband who cried
that he had shot himself by dropping
his un. She called for assistance and
the injured man was taken to the
Steptoe hospital where 1t was diseov-
cred that the bullet had entered the
stomach and passed out through the
back. Little hope was held out for
recovery by the attending physicians
and the wounded man passed away
at s:2o Friday evening The wound
is believed to have been made by a
bullet from .3s oaliber revolver.
Mr.. Wright lived at McGnl, where
he was formerly employed by the
Nevada Consolidated company as an
engineer on a dinkey engine. He is
survived by his wife and two chill
dren.

Ely. New, Aug. Is. 1919.
Editor White Pine News:
We. the Nevada Northern railroad
shop employees, feel that We have
been censured by the remarks OF a
few and we wish to submit our de-
mands so that all may see and Judge
for themselves.
July, 1918, the government arbi-
tration granted the Nevada North
ern employees ten per cent increase
amounting to $0.62, based on the
high cost of living. On February IL
and March 1. 1919, the railroad COM
pany without any consideration what
ever, cut the wages $1.02. We pro-
tested the cut, claiming that the
high cost of living still existed, only
intensified.
We have been informed by busi-
ness mems committee that foodstuffs
are getting scarce and II something
can't be done the situation will be-
come very serious.
1t Is not our desire to cause any
one any Inconvenience or suffering,
but we feel that we are SO justified
In our demands that we have agreed
to settle the matter by arbitration.
which the railroad company has re-
fused to do We ask that our wages
be put back on the same scale pre-
vious to the cuts OF February 18th
and March 1, 1919. and retroactive
as To same
We were asked to send five men
back TO work to keep the main line
in operation. In the first place no
one would go because they would not
feel justified in helping the railroad
company prolong the strike while
their brothers were out going hun
cry.
In the next place If you were fight
ling man it would be poor policy on
your part to give him club to beat
you to say that the men on strike
are only asking a living wage, and
are willing to consider any far
proposition put before them.

the wage scale which was in effect in
January and February of this year,
and in view of the ever increasing
cost of living | ask If such demand
can be considered unreasonable? Do
YOU stand for the law OF the greatest
good for the greatest number. or for
the greatest good for the few? We
have surrendered every demand made
upon the company except that of an
increase OF wages and the difference
OF 25c per day that now stands in
the way OF settlement of the strike
amounts only to one days profit TO
the company according to figures in
our possession and which We have
every reason TO believe are correct.
II has been stated that within a
few months the price of copper will
be sufficient to guarantee the in
crease asked for. but we feel that the
stockholders are better able to walt
for the higher price of copper and the
increase in dividends which accom-
pany IL than are the men who earn
their daily bread by the sweat OF
their brow. The laborer is worthy of
his hire and the contented workman
boosts the profits of his employer by
willing hands.

Editor White Pine News:
Wishing TO place before the public
our side OF the strike situation | take
this opportunity to write you an
open letter. and respectfully request
that you publish same on the front
page of your next issue.
The last few days has developed a
rather critical situation with respect
to the daily train service between Ely
and Cobre and the railway company
has caused notices 10 be posted TO
the effect that the service would be
entirely discontinued after Saturday,
August 10th, for the reason that
there are no workmen to keep the
engines In repair fully agree with
Mr.. Cannon. the general manager of
the Nevada Northern, that II is I'M
possible for the railway company TO
operate its trains without men 20
keep them in running order, but i
maintain that the train service is be-
ing discontinued for the purpose of
obtaining the sympathy of the pub
lie, and that no honest effort has
been made by MIR. Cannon to keep up
the train service. At the hearing
conducted before the members of the
Public Service Commission of Ne
vada, held at the Court House yes
terday, the men agreed to submit
their differences to arbitration and
to allow the members of the Public
Service Commission to act as the Ar
bitration Board. This arrangement,
however, did not meet with the ap-
proval of Mr.. Cannon; in fact, he alb
solutely refused to submit the qnes-
tion to arbitration regardless of the
personnel of the board. With respect
10 the situation at Ruth and McGilf
| am satisfied that the employees or
the Nevada Consolidated Copper COM
rany would not have walked out had
the company caused notices TO be
posted forty-eight hours previous 10
the time of the walk-out announcing
an increase In wages OF rs per day,
but would have accepted same under
protest, continued working, and sub
mitted the difference of 25c to arbi-
tration. No such notices were posted
by the company until after the men
had held a meeting and decided TO
quit work.
In asking for an advance in wages
amounting to 800 per day We are
simply asking for restoration OF

for the enforcement of orders issued

its inclosed cabin. Curtiss Orioles,
the well known JN-4s, and a great

over from Hazelhurst, landed for a
little while and took the air again.

would be obliged to retain in his
plant men who were really bolshe-
visits In their aims.
RadicaIism Big Factor.
The existence of such a radical
group, or rather the activity OF
bolshevists and l. W. WIS in the
steel districts. was admitted by Mr..
Eompers in his dramatic speech at
the Tuesday session. He had ar
gued that the radicals would get
the upper hand If the advice Of the
conservatives were rejected. He
practically confessed that he and
his associates had disapproved Of
the steel strike and had wanted the
steel workers to accept the presi-
dents suggestion for a postpone
rnent but that the strike was in
evitable because OF the tyranny the
men had suffered and that the
American Federation of Labor had
gotten behind the strike really to
control and guide It along. lines Of
law and order. Probably If Judge
Gary could be free to get rid Of
the trouble makers inside his or
ganization. he would have no hest
fancy in dealing with any body that
the workmen sent to represent
them.
Must Adopt Program.
So the conference itself, recog-
nizing that the principles involved
in the steel strike are inseparably
bound up in the general questions
before the. industrial conclave now
in session here, has found itself
after all compelled to adopt a pro-
gram first and then offer 1t to cap
ftai and labor everywhere as ba-
sis for adjustment. Coincidentally
with the working out Of such a
program there is nothing to pre-
vent the secretary of labor or the
president Of the United States to
request the steel workers to get
back to work and the company to
establish a status quo until after
the industrial peace conference
has adopted a set Of principles to
guide Industrial relations gener-
ally.
All Favor Cancellation Plan.
All groups seem to be agreed on
the principle Of court of concil-
iation to which disputes can be
carried. Out of that suggestion
will grow a concrete plan. More
ideas are being developed daily
and while action on the resolution
asking for a committee to settle the
steel strike-a committee. not nee
essarily composed of members OF
the conference here's postponed
while the conference works out a
comprehensive plan for the settle
ment of strikes, nevertheless the
fact that the steel strike is on and
that a coal strike is scheduled for
next month and that the public is
impatient that some machinery be
provided at once to handle grow
ing industrial unrest-all this
combined is having a healthy in
fuence on the conference.
Neither the employers nor labor
will be willing to take the respon-
stbility for any breakup, gloomy
and discouraging as the prospect
may seem at times. Every confab
huctuates from optimism to pessi-
mism and back again and the in
dustriaI peace conference here is
no exception. But ultimately 1t
will get some agreement. some
compromise determination is
written in the faces OF the men in
all three groups.
