OPERATORS MAKE REPLY

The management of the principal
Gold Hill properties last night made
the following statement in answer to
the notice published by the Gold Hill
Miners Union yesterday:
1.-The Gold Hill Miners Union con-
sists of 20 men. The United Com
stock Mines Company employs $50
men normally. They have at this
time, notwithstanding the strike Of
the Miners Union, 70 men working.
The notice posted by the Miners I'm
ion was sponsored by ten men. The
agreement heretofore existing be-
tween the Miners Union and the min
ing companies provided that no strike
or lockout should occur except on 80
days notice. The present strike oc-
Cured without any notice whatever.
Consequently the Gold Hill operators
decline to treat with or recognize the
Gold Hill Miners Union. but regardit
as irresponsible. The Gold Hill oper-
ators object to ten men characteriz-
ing all the men of the district unfair,
particularly as there are seven times
that many now working"

MATERIALS DROP As
RESULT FORUS BIG CUT

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Following the
announcement of a cut In prices of
Ford products to pre-war conditions
a sweeping cut is predicted in practic-
ally all departments, especially cloth
ing, shoes and necessities. The mar
ket is decidedly unsteady following
Ford's announcement, and the fact
that he puts his reduction into i'm
mediate effect has upset calculations
of many large concerns, which have
hoped to maintain the higher prices
during the fall months. This is es-
pecially true with the large catalogue
trade houses, which are hurrying up
corrections in catalogues nov on the
presses throughout the east.
Many lines of merchandise will be
affected, as already two large cata-
logue department stores in the east
have announced reductions ranging
from to 10 to 20 per cent On mer-
chandise which Is billed for Fall
trade.
There is a general feeling that the
action of Ford has precipitated a
downward trend on all classes of
goods. The entire eastern market Is
cautiously feeling its way since the
announcement of Ford's reductions
this week.

Holders of temporary liberty bonds
OF the first, second and third liberty
loans are failing to take advantage OF
the opportunity to exchange their
old for permanent bonds bearing
coupons to maturity. according to
John W. Calkins, governor Of the
Federal reserve bank of San Fran
cisco. in a letter sent to all banks,
bankers and trust companies of the
twelfth Federal reserve district. In
terest on these temporary bonds can
not be collected beyond the number of
coupons attached to them. and it Is of
vital Importance to those who bought
first, second and third liberty loan
bonds to turn them in for permanent
securities.
The relatively small amount of
temporary coupon bonds of the first,
second and third liberty loans pre-
scented for exchange indicates that a
large number of bond holders are
not aware that temporary bonds of
the above issues may. at this time, be
exchanged for permanent coupon
bonds bearing coupons to maturity.
Governor Calkins said in his letter:
This bank, as fiscal agent of the
United States, is now prepared to
make prompt and full delivery of
first, second and third liberty loan
permanent coupon bonds for temper
airy coupon bonds surrendered"

Returning Sanity

There have been during the past
few days several significant signs Of
returning sanity: Of impatience with
the revolutionary efforts being made
to involve organized labor in conflict
with the welfare of the country.
One of these is the attitude taken
by the rail employees toward the new
railroad legislation. They opposed it
when it was under consideration, as
they had a perfect right to do, what
ever may be thought of the value of
the objections they raised. Now that
it has become a law they wisely de-
eide to give it chance to prove it
self. Such an attitude is, we believe,
the only sensible one. but in view of
some Of the leadership to which la :
Dor has been subjected of late it is
noticeable to say the least.
Out in Ole Hansons' town the can
didate who led the strike which i'm :
perilled the city was showed under in
the election. The good sense of
American labor is asserting itself,
coming to a realization Of the extent
it has permitted foreign trouble
makers and home made notoriety
seekers to exploit it.

Appealing to Hysteria They May Get

For all they that take the sword
Shall perish with the sword" In the
same spirit may it not be said that
all those who take hysteria shall per-
ish by hysteria? The reds" are now
complaining that they are being per-
secuted because Of hysteria. If so it
is like the fire that was set for pur-
pose Of arson and blew back in the
faces of the criminals and consumed
them.
As a matter of fact the rising de-
termination throughout the country

infected with bubonic plague, or,
which is much the same. reds" in
fected with communism, is not hyste-
ria We would be lacking in ordinary
Intelligence if we weren't afraid of
them, but this by no means signifies
though if the matter is not attended
to in a rational way there are sure to
be panic and irrational methods.
The whole appeal of those now
complaining of hysteria has been to
hysteria, never to reason. If they
shall be in any considerable degree
successful they must inevitably en-
counter hysteria-and it is not to be
presumed that they will enjoy the
encounter.

Hospitals Find Newspaper Advertise
ina Profitable

We do not know Of any Of our pub
lie institutions more worthy of ad-

hospitals, nor do We know Of as gooo
medium for doing this as are the

have the support Of the facts as re-

subject and citing cases to prove its
arguments. case being the Eastern

These reasons given for this adj

that the institution 10 amply en-
dowed and not in need Of further A.

With reference to results and the

garding the advertising, Mr.. Vose
says:
LAS to tangible returns, very little
that can be said to be tangible was
expected. There have been, however.
very satisfactory responses. And the
main objects desired appear to be in
process Of accomplishment.
"A few days ago a member Of the
publicity committee asked another
very conservative man, by the way,
l'How long ought we to continue this
advertising? His reply was, AS
long as the hospital is in existence ,"
This publication also contains an
article on the publicity adopted by

Hospital and states that forty one
hospitals in the Wolverine state have

ThrottIina the Merchant Marine.

IhroetIin9 the Merchant Marine.
IN. Y. Tribune)
Bearing on the question Of the
disposal Of the former German ships,
The Marine Journal. whose editors
have the advantage of knowing
something whereof they write,
speaks in the following manner:
The Marine Journal does not
hesitate to say that the pretense on
which the defeat of the sale Of the
German liners was sought-that
these or some Of them were to pass
over to British interests-was false,
most grossly false, and that, as a
matter Of fact. the resulting delay
in the actual utilization Of these
ships under the American flag is an
important victory for British inter-
ests over the interests of the United
States"
The British ship owners, as is
their right and privilege, have been
active in efforts to engross the
business Of the most profitable trade
routes before American lines could
be established. So they naturally
rejoice greatly over the news that
the ex-German liners have been in
definitely bottled up. The moment,
for example, it appeared that the
ex-German liners were to be idle
and useless in American ports the
Cunard Steamship Company an
nounced 1t had decided to put Brit
ish passenger steamers on the route
from New York to Hamburg.
Congress, Of, course. did not in
tend to hamstring American ship
ping development. but it did. It
listened to the demagogy Of Hearst.
The blocking of the sale Of the
ships to the private American COM
panies that have the organization
and the experience to run them
gives our trade rivals an oppor-
tunity they are not foolish enough to
neglect. The prospects of the
American merchant marine have
thus been frosted. Unless there is
radical change Of policy. the chances
of keeping the flag on the high seas
are slender.
