Tonopah, Nevada, May 25.-(Spec-
ial to the .Gazette) Settlement in
the mines and mills of Tonopah,
which seemed imminent yesterday
afternoon and last night, following
the conference of Governor Boyle
with the employees and operators, fell
like a house of cards this morning.
BALLOT REJECTED
The suggestion of the Governor
that the men take a secret ballot
upon the matter of accepting the new
wage scale, was. rejected at a mass
meeting this morning. The mas
meeting also declined to invite the
Governor to address it. BY an over
whelming vote employees decided to
continue the struggle without compro-
mise. and after being advised Of this
turn of affairs Governor Boyle stated,
effect. that the employees were
hopelessly resisting an inevitable re-
duction in wages. and that the State
would undertake the responsibility Of
not only prescribing order in the Ton
opah district but would permit no in
reference with men imported to OPP
crate the mines and mills.

WAGE
SETTLEMENT NOW
APPEARS UNLIKELY
Governor Boyle Holds Confer
ence With Men But They Re-
ject Secret Ballot Az To Ac-
ceptance of Cut.
BY EMMETT d. BOYLE,
GOVERNOR OF NEVADA

GOVERNOR OF NEVADA
Tonopah, Nevada, May 25.-My
visit to Tonopah was made pursuant
to a telegram from the Governors
Office that Lieutenant Governor Sulli-
van has received communications
from citizens and officials in Tonopah
requesting that an investigation Of
conditions be made here.
I came directly, transferring from
the homebound train at Hazen ut
midnight.
Yesterday 1 met with a committee
OF the citizens, later with the strike
COMMITTEES, and later with the mine
operators. TO Both l gave a state
ment Of my observations Of the in
dustrial situation in the East, and to
the latter a very frank statement
that the strikers in Tonopah could
not successfully resist a nationwide
wage reduction.
At my request the committee ar
ranged a meeting of the men for ten
o'clock this morning In the hope that
they might see At to hold a secret
ballot on the matter Of returning to
work, and at the same time the COM
mittee was advised that the State po-
lice would take care of future rail
greasing" and Of men coming into the
camp.
At the meeting this morning the
men voted not to take a ballot and
not to hear any proposals from me.
Meanwhile the companies are rap
idly arranging accommodations for
imported men at the various mines
and express confidence in being able
to replace those who will not return
to work. This confidence seems to
be justified since men are coming in
as rapidly as they can be cared for
and the States job henceforth will
be to see that they are not molested
or interfered with.
Thus far Sheriff Thomas is hand
ling the situation in excellent fashion
but we will be able to cooperate In
preserving order at the first sign of
trouble.

Canadian, was a huge man of great girth, who tipped the scales at $50 pounds.
 Muscles are deceiving. And weight lifting is a science. Great strength is valueless unless it is used properly. A man who understands leverage and coordination can lift or pull more than d much stronger man.
 Travis is natural strong man. He was boy wonder He began his public career at an early age by lifting beer barrels in Steve Brodies famous saloon on the Bowery. Steve would hand him a dine and young Warren would hand himself some free lunch and spend his profits on candy-his only dissipation.
 Travis's diet theories are noteworthy in comparison with the eating proclivi- ties of strong men of the past. This native Hercules eats but two regular meals a day. An average breakfast consists of two glasses of warm milk, a dish of apple sauce. and two thick slices of whole wheat bread AS hours old His one big meal of the day is taken at , in the evening and is a half pound of steak or some other nourish- ing meat, soup, vegetables, boiled potato, as "spuds" are more digestible boiled, several glasses of milk, and several portions of French pastry. He seldom drinks tea or cOfIee ana goes light on meats, as he leans a wee bit to ward mild vegetarianism. If he's out late at night he has an after-the- ater supper of ice cream and more pastry.
 Here are some of his stunts
 Worlds record back lift, 1000 pounds, lifted once.
 Lying on back with bent knees and bent arms and holding up 5000 pounds
 Finger lift 656 pounds, lifted once.
 Harness lift 500 pounds. lifted 5000 times in 62 minutes, total 100000 pounds.
 Worlds record harness lift, $500 pounds, lifted once.
 Two-hand lift. 1.5Oo pounds. lifted once.
