F|REMEN TO ENTERTAIN
WITH ANNUAL DANCE

The fifteenth annual ball of the
Ely volunteer fire department, which
will be held in Bio hall Saturday
night. is now being looked forward
to with interest by people throughout
the county.
II has long been a recognized fact
that whatever the efficient fire fight
ers of Ely take in hand they carry to
success and the annual ball in their
one big social event in each year.
A committee composed OF Harold
DOYLE, Clarence Rowan and w. g..
Fuller is In charge of the arrange
ments, which have practically been
completed and by which 1t is be-
lieved the annual ball this year will
go down as the greatest social event
ever achieved in this district.
Many novel features will be intro
duced, among which will be roulette
dances for which ten handsome prizes
will be awarded. The roulette
dances will be determined on the pro-
gram by the committee without the
knowledge of those enjoying the en-
tertainment. The wheel will be
turned at a signal from the floor
manager and the music will stop
Several numbers will be arranged or
the floor and the couple which hap
pens to be standing ON the number
which corresponds with the number
shown. on the wheel will be awarded
the prize. BY this method all will
participate in the sport and without
extra charge.
Parker's six-pieee orchestra will
furnish the music and this attraction
alone will bring the merry dancers
from all sections.

ElKS' CHARITY BALL
SCORES DECIDED HIT

That all the people of this district
will respond when the call OF char
| ity Is sounded was forcibly exempli-
| fed in Bio hall last night when, i'm
mediately following the opening of
the doors for the Elks charity ball,
upward of 500 people passed through
and Immediately entered into the
spirit of the night
This number was augmented and
until close to midnight people kept
streaming in. The floor was taxed
TO its capacity and as the good-na-
tured dancers whirled around they
seemed to enjoy the fact that they
were closely joined on every side by
such vast throng, all assembled as
much for the good of the cause as
they were for their own personal
amusement.
There were attractive features ga
lore and men of good heart with
handsome women gathered around
tho tables and games, where they
wagered sums with different objects
in view, but all found its way event
ually into that path which will make
many homes bright on Christmas day
that nigh otherwise be dull and
dreary.
The hall was appropriately deco
rated and inducements of every ma
ture were in evidence to attract the
shining coins in the one center from
which they will later be judiciously
distributed where they will do the
greatest amount of good that money
spent for any purpose can ever pro-
duce.
Such tempting offers as ten per
cent off for charity" and signs of a
similar character we're in evidence
in places where those charitably in
clined were invited to show their
feelings in a substantial way.
The music furnished by Parker's
six-piece orchestra reached that
height of perfection which makes the
whole world feel at peace.
The total amount realized cannot
be determined until all matters in
connection with the great event have
been finally settled, but II Is safe to
say that the sum reached a figure
which will go long way to make
the homes of those on whom fortune
has not smiled recently as happy as
thse of their more fortunate neigh
bors during the joyous Christmas
season.
From every viewpoint the event
was one of the greatest successes
ever witnessed in this district, and
the best people on earth not only
gave their guests the most enjoyable
evening possible but the real fruit
of their work will within the next
ten days be enjyoed by those worthy
of 1t and all the sweetness that goes
with it.

LOWER RATES ON ORE
OUT OF ELY DISTRICT

A reduction in freight rates ON ore
over the Nevada Northern railway and
its connecting lines to the Utah smelt.
ers has been announced. effective
January 20.
The reduced rates, which should
serve particularly as an impetus to the
operation of small mining properties
in this section, has been brought about
through the voluntary efforts of Gen.
eral Manager George l.. Hickey of tile
Nevada Northern, who has devoted
much tine and energy recently to the
working out of the new schedule and
securing the cooperation of the South
ern and Western Pacific. which can
meet with the Nevada Northern at
Cobre and Shafter respectively.
Recent advances in the metal mar
kets. by which ores of the character
found in this section of the country
have been enhanced in value to an ap-
preciable extent, together with the new
schedule of rates, will no doubt result
in shipments being made at a profit
by owners who have been developing
their properties on a small scale. In
many cases men have worked single
handed and taken out ore which they
we're unable to ship at a profit by reas-
on of a poor market, which did not
warrant the cost of transportation and
smelling charges
The new schedule from points on
the Nevada Northern to the smelters
in Utah is as follows:

the union fields.

the union fields.
 The contrast was like ''handwTit
 ing on the wall" to the officials of the United Mine Workers. It led them to expend one million dollars and brave company-employed sheriffs and machine guns to organize the West Virginia mines. They perceived that the lowering of wages there and the unfair competition in sell ing coal which that proceeding made possible, would torpedo the wage aspirations of the entire industry
 The same contrast prevented the non-union miners of West Virginia from seeing this point. They could only see that, at the moment, they were better of with their lowered wages than their organized brothers with wages fixed by contract. Ger tainly their conviction in favor of organization was too shaky to stand against the violence and oppressive
 military tactics employed by the companies in suppression of union ism. The attempt 70 unionize them failed utterly. ..:. Today the United Mine Workers find themselves up against the con sequences of that failure to domin-
 ate a section which, at capacity. can, with union miners striking,
 supply all of the present slackened
 demand for coal. So long as the pub lie is not distressed the Government is not likely to intervene so force fully as it did in the strike of 1919. Nor will the operators have any big incentive to come to immediate terms, since it is now at the be- ginning of the slack season. There
 are no open arms for the miners .n
 other industries as the strike drags on and the families grow hungry All the privations will be on one side only-tae miners side. Conse- 1 quently, unless their army of o1 organized members contemplates
 some more direct action than ha.
 hitherto been attempted, it would
 seem that the miners must fail ir

their wages shall or shall not go down, sufficient at least, to meet this competition, or even whether the union organization shall endure.
 But there is a side for the miners, too-not to mention the side of the consumers. One can arrive al a clear estimate of these sides of the problem only by looking into the conditions under which the mining of coal and its distribution are car ried on.
 Soft coal is mined in more than score of states, extending from Pennsylvania to the Pacific Coast, About four thousand firms are en- gagged in the business, and about six hundred thousand workers are employed by them in their mining operations. The capital invested is about two billions of dollars. The miners of both soft and hard coal have a single organization which covers the producing fields by means of local unions and the country as whole by means of national or. ganization. This organization is the United Mine Workers of the World It has on it's rolls more than foul hundred thousand names out o1 nearly twice that number in the in dustry, and is the largest labor unior in the United States.
 ] Soft coal operators are organized in about sixty associations. It haI been the custom of the operator to meet with officials of the miners union every two years to arrange a contract covering wage scales ant conditions of labor. Such contrac l is that which expired on April l The contract of 1917 revising wage

WHAT THE STRIKE MEANS
(From The Eagle Magazine)

tF'rom The Eagle Magazlnej
 The explanation of the dispute which resulted in a strike of coal miners on the first of April, is in the fact that section of the in- dustry producing over one-third of the country's capacity output of soft coal, is not within the jurisdiction of the United Mine Workers.
 The capacity production of the country's soft coal fields is eight hundred millions tonS-which is 50 per cent more tons than the coun- try can normally use. In an abnormal period, such as that through which the country is now passing, when the normal soft coal needs of many thousands of industrial plants have languished to the vanishing point, U is evident that the section men, tioned, which the miners union has not organized and which, at capa- city, produces one-third Of the coun- try's total output, can come danger ously near 10 supplying the entire demand. This, moreover. is practi, cally the situation which the operat, ors in these unorganiEed fields last year were able, in their freedom from contract-fxed wages. to bring about. At the first sign of a slack ening demand for coal, in the on set of industrial depression, they summarily lowered wages, and there with the prices of coal at the min' mouth, and so secured to them selves the best of the slackening de nand. Such competition. based or freedom in lowering wages. has giv en operators in the fields dominated by the United Mine Workers all th' ground they need for refusing tt confer with the miners as to whethei

of hostilities in the fall of 1918, the tremendous demand for coal which had marked war industry, began to slump and by the spring of 1919 had slumped alarmingly. The miners, in spite of ther war contract for higher wages, could not be given working days enough to make them a decent living. Living costs more over, were mounting. In September, 1919, the miners in their biennial convention voted that the war was over and their contract flor its duration" ended They proposed a new contract which had for its salient points a sixty per cent in- crease in wages, a six+lour day and a five-day week. Upon the rejection of these demands by the operators, the miners were called out of the mines. The strike began on Novem- Der 1 and lasted six weeks, the min CTS and operators agreeing to a temporary fourteen per cent wage increase pending final settlement by a presidential commission which ultimately gave the union miners a further increase.
 Both the union anu non-union operators took these awards with r0od grace because it had become apparent that the coal business was about to experience another boom. Conditions followed which put a premium deliveries of coal and the result was wholesale gambling in
 fuel, some of the operators taking
 one hundred per cent profit at the mine mouth. The miners did not
 want to be left out of all this, and
 some were able to force wage scale
 amendments providing higher rates of pay.
 There came an end to this furry
 in 1921, when the wheels of in.
 dustry everywhere slowed down. l Unhampered by any union con
 tract, bound only by their habit of following suit, when 1t was tc

Bryan told the legislature of Kentucky that the
faith of the fathers endangered by the teach
ing of evolution in the colleges and the legislators
took him very seriously and promptly proposed a
law that "Darwinism" and atheism and the doc
trnes Of evolution, so far as they attempt to ac-
count for the origin of man. should not be taught
in the schools Of Kentucky.
Not long after President Ernest M Hopkins of
Dartmouth made public letter which he had re-
ceived from a committee of one Of great church
denominations asserting that the support of the
church and of the good people who belonged to 1t
would be withdrawn from schools whose teachers
had departed from the faith"
Now, doubtless, all this is very we'll meant and
believed necessary and yet the probability is that
it is but a phase of the worlds disturbed mental
conditions which will pass we get further from
the storm center of war. Before the the great
majority Of the clergy had succeeded in reconcile

were wasting no more time arguing about it. And

the work of Darwin and of other evolutionists and
having no religious difficulties. And it is to be
hoped that the well-intentioned and commendable
zeal of these good people may not avail to fetter
the minds of the teachers. The long period during
which the schurch held the schools within rigid limits
of instruction did not accomplish much for popular
education The best thinkers among religious lead
ers will themselves be unwilling to return to such
