THAT LOCAL
LABOR Be USED
ON ROAD JOB

The county commissioners have
been notified that the federal and
state proportion of the money for the
state highway fund has been reported
TO the commission and that the coun-
ty should report at once its quota.
improvements contemplated in this
district will be distributed over the
county road through Robinson can
yon from Keystone to the summit and
across Jake's valley to Illipah. 1t Is
intended to put in road with packed
gravel or crushed rock surface five
inches deep and nine feet in width
over a twenty-foot roadway.
This improvement will cost $780,
469.S3, of which the federal govern
ment will pay one-half, the state and
county the other half, divided equal
ly. White Pine county's share of this
amount is $39,117.47. of which $24.-
sS9.73 is on hand in the state high
way fund. leaving a balance of $14,-
227.74, which will have to be ad-
vanced by County Treasurer Bath out
of the general fund until the highway
taxes are collected next summer.
Commissioner Meyers, in discuss
ing the appropriation of the money.
recommended that the district attor-
ney write to the highway commission
for as much detail in relation to the
work as possible. The commissioner
suggested that the authorities, as
far as it was in their power, urge the
employment of local workmen during
the construction of this work, as the
present outlook seemed to indicate
that a number of men would be out
of work in the near future and they
should be given the first opportunity
for employment.

GOV. BOYLE AGAIN
SETTLES LABOR
CONTROVERSY

Governor Emmett d. Boyle. for the
third time in the history of labor
controversy in this district, has
proyed his ability as an arbitrator of
the highest class.
Two weeks ago the misunder-
standing between the Nevada Con
solidated Copper company and it's en-
ployees had reached crisis through
the Interpretation of the priority
rule" agreed TO by the parties at the
time of the last settlement of labor
difficulties.
Under this rule which was under
stood to be in force during the con-
finuation of the war, the company
agreed TO keep faen in its employ
according to the seniority of the
workman. This would imply that if
IL we're necessary to discharge men
for the reason of reduction in the
working force, those who had been
employed for the shortest length of
time would be the first to go. The
company, taking the stand that the
was is over, followed the federal
plan of reconstruction recommended
by the administration. and discharged
the men who had the least respon-
sibility in regard to dependents, with
the understanding that all returning
soldiers who had formerly worked for
the company be given positions as
soon as possible. IL the soldier so de-
sired.
The employees. on the other hand,
held that the contract entered into
during the war was still in effect and
that the company was breaking faith
with them by not adhering To the
rules of the agreement.
Commissioner Cole arrived from
Carson Saturday, January 4th, ana
met with the men and representatives
of the company. but the controversy
ended in a deadlock. neither side be-
ing willing to withdraw from the orig
inal stand taken. Last Saturday night
the situation looked critical with the
prospect OF the men walking out and
bringing about complete shutdown
of the copper production In this dis
triet.
Realizing the seriousness of the
situation, Commissioner Cole wired
for the governor Arriving on the
scene, Governor Boyle wet right into
action. II Is reported that he was en-
gagged In an Interview with Manager
G. b. Lakenan which lasted from
early in the evening until after 2
a. m. the next morning. IL appears
that the company could not be per-
suaded to change its attitude and the
governor then took the matter up
with the men, finally convincing them
that a walk-out at this time would be
playing into the eompany's hands.
Monday night the question of
strike was brought up and voted on
by the men concerned with the reuslt
that for the present the pending
trouble is settled.
Governor Boyle and Commissioner
Cole left for Carson City Tuesday
morning.
