SHERIFF D|sARMs
RAILROAD GUARDS
At E[k0 SHOPS
RECENT LAW FORBIDS THE
CARRYING OF ARMS BY
ANY PERSON EXCEPT
PEACE OFFICERS

A peculiar condition exists today
at the Western Pacific shops in
Elko in that the thirty or more
guards employed by the company
to protect their property are with
out any sort of arms whatever ex-
cept those given them by nature,
their guns having been taken away
during the day by Sheriff Harris,
under the instructions of District
Attorney Castle, who has thus in
terpreted the law passed by re-
cent legislature, says the Free Press.
1t has been generally recognized,
not only in this state but every
state in the Union, that guards en-
ployed by the railroad companies
during strike, had the right to
carry arms in the performance of
their duties, and up to today the
thirty guards on duty at the shops
were fully armed. But according
to District Attorney Castle this law
was repealed when the legislature
passed an amendment providing
only that "peace officers and en-
ployes travelling on trains now
have a right to carry arms, con-
cealed or otherwise, unless permits
sion is obtained from the board of
county commissioners.
What steps the railroad company
will take has not been made public
at this hour, but it is the general
impression that some way around
the law will be found to allow the
guards to carry rifles and guns.
There has been no disturbance
whatever of any nature in the Elko
yards, the strikers keeping away
from the shops and making no eff
fort to interfere with the handling
of trains.
There are about twenty strike
breakers at work in the Elko shops,
brought here from outside by the
company, but the local strikers are
still out without exception. In Car
lin the Southern Pacific has shipped
in several carloads of strikebreakers,
and there are clashes daily between
the strikers and the non-union men.
Last night two of the strikebreakers
strolled outside of the stockade and
were picked up by delegation of
strikers, put into a car and brought
within five miles of Elko and left
by the roadside. They walked to
Elko where they reported to the
Southern Pacific agent for instruc-
lions. In the meantime word was
sent from Carlin that the two men
had been taken out of town with a
warning not to return, and soon
some of the Western Pacific en-
ployes had located them and told
them in no uncertain terms to make
themselves scarce.
The local strikers have offered
their services to the sheriff here to
serve as guards of the railroad pro-
