(Continued from Page One. )

Meantime strike ballots are being sent out by the maintenance of way men and will be returned before July I, the date of the cut being effective That a strike will be authorized is without shadow of doubt
 Along the New Haven system, the propagandists of the daily press are discounting the likelihood, Hartford and New Haven papers saying that the men, especially the trackmen are not heavily organized and there is no sentiment among them to resist the though the New Haven's trackmen wage cut. As a matter of fact, al are mainly foreigners, they are strongly organized and will resist as well as any of the other brotherhoods affected The Hartford Courant quoting "a majority of railroad men on the Hartford division" says the possibility of a strike on the New Haven is remote. Officers of the brotherhoods agree that it is remote as remote as the roads attempt to enforce the proposed cuts.

 TO HIGH COURTS
Whether Victim Was Going for Dog Meat of Drink" Question in
 Dispute.

Whether the emplOye was gong tc get meat for dog owned by his em- plOyer or was going to saloon tC get a drink for himself, is a question that the Supreme Court of Errors Is likely to be called upon to decide in Waterbury compensation case which Commissioner Williams has re- fused tc reopen at the beheSt Ot the insurance company involved.
 The cause for 1t arose last fall when Michael Mcdonald of Waterbury, an emDloye of the Gulf Refining Com pany, was struck and killed by trol- lev car His widow asked for cont pensation on the ground that the in juries which resulted i'll death arose out of and in the course of MCDon- aids employment.
 The commissioner awarded Mrs. Mcdonald $I2.5o a week for a pc riod of SIP weeks, thus sustaining the contention of the widow. The state ment made by her and by other mem- bers of the family was that when the accident occurred the decedent was on his way to buy meat for a watch dog which was apparently also in the employ of the company while the claim of the underwriters was that Mcdonald was on his way to buy a drink, a commodity said to have been on sale at that time in Waterbury.
 This information though interest ing is late and it did not impress the commissioners who found that what Mcdonald desired to buy was for the dog. The insuring corporation desires to put in evidence, it is al legged, the statement of a man to the effect that he drank nightly with Mcdonald, but has been denied the

Il is announced by those leasing

ings. The first load reached this
city today. The Silver State Chem
ical Company is preparing to take
care Of the production Of the
O-B-H claim and will install the
necessary crushing and treating ma
chinery.
The owners and leasers interested
in the O-B-H believe that the only
way to solve the question of
whether there Is platinum at Plati-
mum is to bring in ores by the
wholesale and have them treated By
the Silver State Chemical Company.
It will be remembered that the
platinum discovery announcement
was made by officials Of that COM
pany following assay tests conduct
ed by them. Should they be- able
to follow up their first tests with
wholesale extraction of platinum
from the ore coming from the
O-B-H claim much credit would
come to them.

MUST GIVE BONDS
I. OR QUIT BUSINESS
Tonight at Eight O'clock Is Limit
Of Period of Grace in Which
Soft Drinkstsrs May Give
Their Bonds to City

The time when R. L. Richards,
F. N. Williams and Shade johnson
may execute their bonds in favor
Of the city Of .Winnemucca in the
sum Of one thousand dollars in each
instance, to guarantee their good
faith in the conduct of their soft
drinking places in this city, expire
at 8 o'clock tonight. None of til
triumvirate had acceded to the
city's wishes up to 8 o'clock thf
afternoon, and it is not known
whether they will utilize the feet
ing moments intervening between
now and 8 o'clock tonight in putting
forth their evidence of good faith.
The Golden Bar, upon which
Shade johnson had designs as p
business habitat, and the Smoke
House, where Red Richards for
merly dispensed hospitality and
good cheer, are closed. The Gem,
belonging to Mr.. Williams. is still
open.
It is asserted within official cir
cles this afternoon that there il no
dual meaning attaching to the edicf
for bonds in the three cases de-
manded; that it is simply a matter
of giving an approved bond or re-
linquishing business privilege, the
fact being emphasized that the IL
cense dispensation is proposed under
the restrictions put forward as q
matter of fairness to business in
vestment. The fact is cited that
two or three soft-drink men are en-
meshed within the machinery of the
prohibition laws at the present time
and personal character is treated in
these instances under a policy Of
restriction in order that future in
fringements upon the laws should
be discouraged.
