Road In Bad Shape
ep speoial correspondsn..

BIZ Special Correspondent.
JAMESBURG. July S1.-The road
between this place and Helmetta con-
tinues to be in a very dangerous con-
dition for autoists and others who use
vehicles. Many deep holes in the
road have caused vehicles to swerve
from their path and endanger their
lives. The third automobile, within
a short time was almost tumbled down
the steep embankment, when q truck,
owned by the Home for Boys sank in
the deep sand on the extreme edge of
the bank. Help was secured from
the Home and truck pulled from the
danger point. Three weeks ago a
heavy truck pitched down the twenty
foot embankment.

Governor Emmett d. Boyle adj
dressed the mine workers of the
Tonopah and Divide districts last
night at the ball park in Tonopah.
1t is estimated that fully 5000 per-
sons heard his speech, which con-
tinued without a single Interruption
half an hour.
The governor was loudly ap-
plauded when he declared 1.-The |.
w. w. scabbed shamelessly on the
job when the whole civilized world
was on strike against an autocracy
that threatened to destroy every
democratic institution"
The speech, as reported in the
Tonopah Times, follows:
Governor Boyle declared that
three weeks had alapsed since the
strike was called and that to date
little had been accomplished. He
said that after numerous confer
ences with the mine operators he
was convinced that they would not
deal with the committee now at the
head of the miners; that he be-
lieved something might be accom-
plished if new committee were
concerned. At least he did not con-
slider the present committee as rep
resenting the miners as a whole.
Governor Boyle stated that after
his conferences with the committee
he was inclined to believe that the
leadership of the men was tinctured
with the philosophy of the Industrial
Workers of the World, and that in
his discussion he understood that
philosophy call to systematic
effort to establish soviet form OF
government in America. He had been
/, In his belief, rather consistent ad-
ivocate of the cause of labor as he
saw it's best interests, but now he
had been told by one of the commit.
teemen that he was 80 years behind
the times.
He stated that without entering
Into any controversy regarding the
merits of the Industrial Workers
philosophy, he considered that organi
zation, reformed as he believed it tt
be in so far as the practice of syn
dicalism and sabotage We're con
lcerned, to be at least $500 years
