mcnts. "Die Hards" Blamed.
New York, July 24-Asserting that
the rail strike has not already been
settled because the die hard group Of
road executives want it to go
on" shop craft union leaders today
submitted that only the roads refusal
to assure returning strikers reinsSate-
ment Of seniority rights prevents an
immediate settlement of the contro-
versy.
"The government now admits that
the railroad strike is grave public
issue; the public knew it two weeks
ago." was a statement issued by the
central strike committee.
"It is only the die hard group Of
Eastern executives who deny it. They
deny it because they want the strike
to so on. They are using this crisis
in vain attempt to install the open
shop.
'If the government wants to relieve
the transportation crisis it will settle
the strike. And the way to settle the
strike is to persuade Gen. w. w.
Atterbury and his hard boiled Wall
street clique to cease holding up the
nations business by their private re-
fusal to allow seniority rights to work
ers. ~ 1t Is inconceivable that a half
/ dozen men can impose their selfish will
) upon the welfare Of hundred mil
lion"
These charges brought from the
Eastern executives conference in ses-
, sion today declaration through thel
| Chairman, l.. F. Loree, president OF
the Delaware e Hudson, that the "pos'
t sibilit y of the strikers tying up the
Eastern railroads had passed"
He announced that S8,S04 men arc
now employed at full time in Eastern
shops, compared with 145,S72 the day
before the walkout and declared tina
l.. the CO.'S per cent force now employed
"has an output that compares favorabl,
i with the work of the larger force be

"This Is due" the statement contin

MORE LAND RECLAIMED
IN LYON COUNTY

The latest company to lille incor-
)ortatlon papers with the secretary OF
tate that is OF more than passing
interest to this city and district is the
Dayton Land and Development Com
amy. capitalized at one hundred thous-
nd dollars, and organized for the pur-
osc OF rcclaiming several thousand
.cres Of sagebrush lands in Lyon
ounty. While the land is in Lyon
ounty it is only about fifteen miles
rom Carson City, AMI its development
will mean considerable additional busi-
ness Tor this city says the News.
The company has already contrac-
ted with the Nevada We'll Drilling
Company OF this city for l2-inch
well and the new outfit recently
shipped here is already on the ground
and the big auger going down after
the water that will irrigate the first
farm to be offered for sale by the new
development company.
The ineoporators of the new COM
pany are p. ]. Quilici and 7. S Clarl,
of Dayton and A. b. Gray OF Carson
City. The list of officers has not
yet been filed with the secretary OF
state, but it is understood that p. ].
Quilici OF Dayton will be the presi-
dent and general manager of the COM
pany, and the name of Dir. f.. w.
Hodgins OF Virginia City will appear
among the list of directors
The company plans to sub divide
about three thousand acres of as fine
land as can be found in the state into
50 acre farms. The power line OF
the Truckee River General Electric
company will be extended so as to
furnish cheap power for pumps to be
installed at various points. 1t is
known that there is plenty OF water
to be had and that wells can be bored
and cased at a nominal figure The
latest style OF pumps for irrigation pur-
poses will be installed
While Dayton will reap the greatest
bentfits, Carson City will be benefited
directly, and much additional prop
erty will be added to the growing list
of agricultural lands in Nevada.
