ROCHESTER MINERS
STRIKE WHEN CUT.

+. NJ. Gramm and Thos. Defenbaugh
returned yesterday from a business
trip to Reno and Rochester and sur
rounding country. where they have
been on business trip In the inter-
est of the Silver State Chemical Com
pany. They report very successful
trip and the subscription Of several
thousand dollars toward stock in the
company. Next week they expect to
make a similar trip to Sparks and
surrounding country.
Mr.. Gramm reports labor conditions
at Rochester In a bad condition. He
says that on Wednesday notice was
posted by the Rochester Mines Com
pany to the effect that all wages
would be cut fifty cents on each shift.
and that on Thursday evening the
mine workers held a meeting and re-
fused to accept the cut. notifying the
company to that effect As a result
of this the mines were not opened
yesterday morning. excepting for
cleaning up the mill and putting It in
shape to stand idle until the work
should be resumed. 1t is believed
that some agreement will be reached
and that the shut down will not be
for long.
Mr. Gramm also reports that the
Packard Mines at Rochester started
work Monday and that the company is
adding to its force every. day. These
men are working at the reduced rate.
Oficials of that company state that
the mine will be in active operation
all summer.

LADY HOBOES HERE

Chief of Police Lamb encountered
an unusual type of hobo this after
noon when he made an official call on
couple of lady hoboes camped in
the Jungle" across the Western Pa
ciic tracks. Upon being questioned
they stated they had been beating
their way over the country in empty
box cars and other available places
in trains. They said they were on
their way to Sacramento and were
waiting for the next freight, which
they expect to catch going out.

LAST WURO BEFORE
THE CITY ELECTION

The Silver State will tone down"
considerably on utterances concerning
the local election situation today. for
the reason that to bring out points
too strongly in this. our last issue
before the ballots will have been
counted, would be to invite eleventh
hour politics--something always dan
gerous, generally false and something
to which electors should pay little
heed. because the fact that they
are held until the last moment proves
they will not stand the bright light
of publicity or explanation Also,
eleventh-hour politics are unfair, be-
cause they give no opportunity for re-
buttal.
We are glad to have the Star come
out with statement that the present
city council has accomplished good
work and that that paper has no fault
to find with them on that score. That
statement Is only fair and just to men
who have given up their time and
worked hard and diligently for the
welfare of the community. But we
cannot help but feel the Star is sup
porting opposition candidates and be-
lieve most other residents are of the
same opinion. Else how does ii hap
pen the canned editorials have been
sidetracked recently to be replaced
by boost editorials to fit In with the
campaign now developing concerning
hurting the town? The Star editor
reveals his attitude when he heads
communications with such heads as
Writes On Small Town Politics.;
when opportunity arises to boost the
game of the candidates opposing the
incumbents. Subtle. yes, and always
covered up, but it's there just the
same.
Now as to the communication In the
Star of yesterday. headed Writes of
Small Town Politics" and signed by
Another Citizen" That head rather
gets our goat, because to include the
city of Winnemucca in such con-
eeption doesn't seem right This ma
ton is made up of small towns and
its people of 3mall-town people, and
we'll say these towns and people are
the best in the world, with ideas and
ideals not to be excelled. The use of
the term small town" implies small
mental calibre, hicks, rubes. know
nothings. Supporters Of the city
councilmen and mayor will resent the
implication. We fail to see where
politics here are any different from
anywhere el3e-there are usually two
sides, one standing for right and the
other for wrong.
The writer for the Star starts out
by saying It makes no difference who
is elected and that all thought should
concern the welfare of the city. and
in the next sentence says I'm case
the present incumbnts are reelected
they will be encouraged to continue a
course of petty officiousnes3" Fine!
This writer shows where he Is quick.
First pretend to be real fair and then
slip 'em an idea based on no fact and
calculated to poison readers mind
against a certain set of candidates.
Why not point out an instance or two
Of petty officiousnes3" on the part of
the present city council? The people
want facts to back up statements and

To the People of Winnemucea. We
the undersigned business men of this
city' whose signatures appeared un-
der an article In the Humboldt Star
OF April 27, headed Business Men
Make Statement" now wish to say:
That our intention was only to dis
claim any effort to secure the dis
charge of Councilman Akin. We do
not believe 1t right or fair that he
should lose his position with the
Western Pacific because of being a
city councilman.
AS to the paragraph casting re-
hections on city officials. had we
realized the wording of this before
signing the statement our signatures
would never have been affixed. The
matter was presented hastily and not

reply to mine of April 22d calling my
attention to Sections 20 and IS of

inducing him to be or refrain

didate for ofilce, and no person
shall solicit any payment. promise

purpose"
Section 36 referred to by you
reads in part:
"It shall be unlawful for any
person to accept. receive or pay r.
money or other valuable consider
alton for becoming a candidate
for nomination or election"
You state that offer you compen-
sation as a reward for resigning
either position. l do not understand
how you can interpret from my letter
of April 22d that offer you any re-
ward for resigning from either the
service of this Company or the City
Council at Winnemucca- 1t Is my un-
derstanding that you receive some
compensation as Councilman and
know you get well paid by this COM
pany for your services. Therefore, II
would follow that IL you we're to re-
sign as Councilman or from the SER
vice of this Company. 1t would be re-
ducing your compensation or total
salary for both positions. and there
fore my letter Of April 22d did not
offer you any compensation by either
resigning from the Company service
or that of Councilman.
There is inserted in the Western
Pacific Rule Book the following:
ITO enter or remain in the SER
vice is an assurance Of willing
ness to obey the Company rules"
Western Pacific Transportation
Rule 731 reads In part:
mo officer. agent or employe
shall directly or indirectly hold
any interest or be concerned in
any undertaking which may in
terfere with the full discharge OF
his duty to the Company or with
the Company's duty to the public"
With this explanation, I hope you
may understand the Company's side
of It and let me know what you in
tend to do.
