when Mr., Lloyd George, the Cahinap
ministers and the owners, who had
gathered to meet the miners, despaired
OF the latter appearing and dispersed
meanwhile, under pressure of the con
f!ctlng judg ments, the executive officials
OF the miners and those of their mart
nefS in the triple alliance withdrew and
went to their headquarters to take mi.
Vate counsel. They had not been in
conference more than half an hour when
Unexpectedly a deputation from the rail
Waymen and transport workers executive
bodies arrived. Then a final appeal was
made by Mr.. Thomas and the others
who considered that Mr.. Ho ges' offer to
the Commons ought to be used as a basis
OF a new attempt during a settlement
and that Mr., Lloyd Georges invitation
should be accepted. This last try. how.
ever, was futile, in fact the majority
OF the miners eXecutiv We officials were
obdurate in their stand for pooling and
national wage concessions. The executive
officials OF the railWaymen and transnort
workers returned to headquarters of the
National Union OF Railwaymen and
awaited the Prime Minister'S announce
ment OF his receipt OF the miners mega
tive reply, before announcing their do
clsion regarding 5ofticial sympathetic
strikes. This decision was reached onIv
after a debate which developed into an
acrimonious Wrangle, the high words. of
which could be heard by the newspaner
correspondents out in the hall.
London, April 18th "A conference ho
tween delegates Of the miners federation

transport workers strike also has been
called off, Mr.. Thomas announced. AS
far as the raiIwaymen and the transport
workers are concerned, the strike is
cancelled, he said. The reports that
Mr.. Hodges had resigned as General
Secretary of the miners federation were
reiterated in reliable quarters late this
afternoon. 1t was said he had relin-
pushed his Office because of opposition
to his statement before the members
of the House of Commons last night,
in which he favoured a temporary ad-
justment of wages. The miners claim
that Secretary Hodges conceded too
much in offering to discuss the question
OF wages without raising Immediately
the issue Of a national pool. while the
railwaymen a d transport workers de-
clare the proposition is reas an9hle.
London. April 18TH til ~ >-eDec-
ton at Bedford, where Mr.. keitaWay
is seeking reelection on his pr motion
to the Postmaster GeneraIship, it Is eX-
pected that the ordinary citizen will take
the opportunity TO show what he thinks
Of the present industrial disputes, and of
the attitude of the Govt. in respect to
the crisis. Curiously enough, the new
Postmaster General has as his opponent
the assistant secretary of the postal Wor-
kers union, Mr. Riley, one of the moder-
ates in the IabOur movements. Mr. Ri
ley's chief criticism OF the Govt. appears
to be that it has neglected to provide the
Ministry OF Labour with ar equipment of
experts, chat would assure the settle
ments Of disputes between capital and la
bour, without recourse to strikes or lock-
outs. Mr.. Kellaway AYERS that the min
ers' troubles have had the effect of rally
ing to his side many who otherwise
would have abstained from voting.
Havana, April 15th.-Senor CapabIan-

game which has been won by the Cuban
player. DR.. Lasker has as yet failed to
win a victory. Eight of the games of
the match have resulted in draws. The
time Of play for the 18th game as,
Capablanca and Lasker 3 hours.
London, April 18th. When the Triple
Alliance reassembled this morning it
soon became evident that the offer of
Mr.. Hodges last night for a reopening
OF tae negotiations between the miners
and the owners had not the solid support
of the miners executive body. At the
same time, the invitation of Mr.. Lloyd
George to the miners executive to meet
the owners around what was hoped to

London, April 18th. determined eff
forts are being made to reopen the ne
gotlatlonS between the miners and mine
owners for a settlement OF the coal
strike. A Adeputation from the Commons
visited Mr.. Lloyd George about mid
night after Mr.. Ho ges, Secretary of
the Miners Union had addressed mem
bers Of the house and explained the min
ers' points. The mine owners have also
decided to invite the miners leaders to
continue the discussion. Mr.. Williams,
President of the Mining Association, an
nsunced at a late hour that the mine
owners would extend another invitation
to the representatives of the miners to
deliberate beth nationally and in the
various districts with the object of as

owners then again visited Downing

London, Apri 18th. Mr.. Lloyd
George announced in the House of
Commons this afternoon that the miners
had refused to reopen negotiations for a
settlement Of their strike, and read a
letter from the Miners Federation stating
that the only condition on which a tenn
porary settlement could he reached was
one which must follow a concession of
the two principles Of a national wage
board and a national pool. The Premier
said that upon the question of a national
settlement Of wages the Govt. already
had expressed a favourable opinion, but
Oh the question OF a national pool it re
garded such a rool as injurious to the
whole country, because it involved the
establishment of control. The Govern

The report OF the Secretary OF
State, which is in the hands Of the
printer, shows a larger volume Of
business during the past two years.
Under the old auto license system
the rating was on horse power. Dur
ing the year of 1919, s~37,55o.75 was
collected from the a~utoists. During
the year 1920, under the taxation Of
license on machine weight, s103,31S.-
SO was collected. Ten thousand four
hundred and sixty-four automobiles
and trucks were licensed, 125 motor
cycles and rs dealer licenses issued.
The domestic corporations during
the two years numbered 1,4sS, while
forty-four foreign interpretations APP
pear on the books. During the years
of 1919 and 1920. 544 land patents
issued from the Office.
The total income to this office In
the two years amounted to $24s,-
6s3.72.
Even under the present license law
1t is anticipated that close to an ad-
ditional 1000 automobiles will be
licensed during the year. this is pre-
Stunning on the past business. The
ratio of increase in fees can be figured
on the returns of the past two years,
and how high the law makers will
jump the fee on automobile owners
is a matter for committee work. The
Governor recommends a higher fee
for machine owners.

GOIDFIELD CHURCH BELL
GOING TO FAR-OFF CHIN

Orders received last week provide
for shipping the bell which has done
duty in the steeple Of the Goldfeld
Presbyterian church for sixteen years
to a mission in the interior Of China.
The bell weighs 1879 pounds and is
now being Grated for the long voy-
age. The church building, with a
seating capacity of 500. will be taken
down and shipped in fat state to Las
Vegas.
1t is something of coincidence that
the rails taken up from the old Las
Vegas & Tonopah line finally landed
in the Chinese Empire.

Official capacity to give my assistance
to enforce this law. The people max
Ing such requests have not taken into
consideration that the contingent an
preparation Of the Attorney General
for the years 1s1e-1s20 was the sum
OF $4,000. In reply to such requests
for assistance this ONCE has asserted
that II any District Attorney fails to
perform his duties in connection with
the enforcement of the law that then
this office will directly participate,
but that In the absence OF such dere-
LECTION of duty by the District Attor-
ney. an occasion does not exist to

of the District Attorney. The act
makes legal the obtaining of wine

the Federal revenue laws this provi-

should, therefore. amend our act to

act itself makes legal.
SALARIES OF SCHOOL TEACHERS
This State has endeavored to be
just and liberal in regard to the sal
aries of school teachers. The goal
should be, however. to place the
members Of this clean and honorable
profession upon a twelve-month sal
airy basis. A method which pays a
school teacher for eight, nine or ten
months in the given year and then
leaves the teacher In a position where
he or she must engage in some other
occupation during the vacation per-
iod to prevent financial straits, is un-
sound.

STATE ENG|NEER
MAKES ANNUAL REPORT


Greatest increases in wealth and
production in Nevada during the Last
decade came In those communities
which made the best economic utili-
cation OF their water supplies, but
more than ninety per lent of the wat
er falling on the mountains in Ne
vada goes to waste because of lack of
catehment or storage facilities, State
Engineer. J. G. s~crugham, points out
In his annual report just submitted
to Governor Boyle.
An appropriation Of $4,000 is asked
to carry on the work Of investigating
the possibilities of recovering much
Of this water for land development
by pumping from artesian wells. Ex-
haustive examinations and tests made
under previous appropriations indi-
cate probabilities Of profitable land
development from this source, the re-
port points out.
The engineer has received applica-
lions from hundreds of capable re-
turned soldiers who desire to settle
In Nevada, provided that they can be
given preferential rights on public
lands and adequate financial assist
anc until the raw lands can be made
productive.
SOLDIERS AS SETTLERS
The settlement of these ~ex-service
men would be possible, he says, II
the land settlement legislation which
has passed the House of Representa-.
tives and is now before the Senate
finance committee is enacted.
Nevada has already provided fol
the expenditure of a million dollar,
to cooperate with the Federal gov
eminent in provided rural homes fol
ex-service men.
Five thousand claims of vested
water rights. permits or application
are on file in Scrugham's Office ana
the property rights involved exceed
10000, 900 in value.
CONTESTED CLAIMS AND FEES
Eight hundred of these claims ar,
contested and a special appropriation
of $4,000 is asked OF permit thu
employment Of engineer examiner
and reports of testimony.
Increases in the fees now charged
for making surveys and preparing
maps, examining and filing applica
lions for permits and for blue print
ing the copy of any drawing or mai
are recommended by the State En-
gineer. An appropriation Of 5000
for the purchase of fire proof film
equipment is also asked for and long
er office hours, now fixed by law, ar
recommended.

The general election laws are in

only such changes r made as may
be absolutely necessary. Our pres
ent Direct Primary law is fair and
lust and gives a member of a politi-
cal party the opportunity to which
be is entitled to present himself to
his party for a nomination for pub
lie ONCE. The destruction of the d.
rect primary system will mean the re-
establishment OF political bosses,
which has always meant corruption
in government. Our election laws
should be amended. however, to pro-
vide for the election of delegates to
the National convention of various
political parties by q popular method.
A State central committee should be
prohibited by law from exercising
any such power. Such a method is
ruinous to popular government.

SAYS JAPAN LIKELY
TO FAVOR DISARM|NC

LONDON, June 15-On the occa-
sion of a lecture on the subject of
Japan at the National Liberal club
last night, Baron Gonzuke Hayashi,
the Japanese, ambassador to Great
Britain in being asked what Japan's
attitude would be in the event of Pres.
ident Harding proposing a conference
for a reduction in ornaments, replied
that he did not doubt that Japans
reply would be favorable
The ambassador added that Ameri
can and Japanese interests were be-
coming more closely identified in the
realms of trade and that the likeh
hood was growing less and less for
any real differences between the two
countries.
The feeling in Japan toword the
United States, the ambassador de
clared was most friendly and it was
the very last idea in his country that
there should be any quarrel with the
Unittd States
