THE WORLD COURT AGAIN

The Senate foreign relations committee IS to begin
hearings on the World Court resolution April 30.
Thus the project that has been pgeonholed by that
committee for than year is brought to public
attention again The public response will be awaited
with much interest and friends of the Court will have
their hopes revived despite the unfavorabe attitude
of the committee in charge of the resolution
1t may be that the public response will sweep the
committee off its feet and compel favorable report
or if that impossible that the resolution least will
be forced out of the committee to meet friendlier
fate on the floor of the Senate There indications
of favorable sentiment in the House.
President Harding was enthusiastically in favor
of the United States joining the Court President
Coolidge favors it. The Democratic leaders favor it.
1t can hardly be said therefore that strictly partisan
politics plays much part in the matter Opposition is
chiefly exerted by irreconcilable senators who
to constitute minority but occupy important posi-
tions
The public has spoken countless times through
organized business, organized churches organized
labor and organized professions especially the legal
profession and through women's organizations urg-
ing this step as President Harding did, on the ground
that ii represents established American policy and
would be important step in promoting peace, with
out assuming any dangerous commitments"

OF LIVE
STOCK PROVIDED FOR
By L. e. CLINE

One of the greatest concerns OF
the local livestock owner at this time
is the subject of appraiBement and
indemnity in case of the invasion in
this valley of the foot and mouth
disease.
At the recent meeting at Reno
called for considering these matters.
this particular subject Was handed
over to a special committee. In the
report of this committee. which COW
cred the condemnation and payment
for destroyed livestock, it was rec
commended that all dairy cattle con-
demned would be appraised at their
value as dairy animals, all beef ami
mails would be appraised at their
present beef value and that all sheep
and hogs at their meat value.
Plans are being made for the pay
ment for any condemned animals
and for their disposal, so that in
case an outbreak shows up in this
state, there need be no delay in
hcndling the situation. The loss in
time in appraising animals in Cali
fornia was one of the reasons for not
being able to check the spread of
the disease on the start. In paying
for condemned animals the federal
government pays half the appraisal
and the state the other half The
recommendation of the committee
on appraisal and indemnity we're
adopted and win without doubt be
carried out by the state in case of
an outbreak.
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1924-04-23

The chamber went on record unan-
lmously urging the county board OF
health to place quarantine on all
importations of vegetables. fruits
and other materials that might or
could transmit the foot and mouth
disease into this valley or section.
The embargo to be in effect for q
period of thirty days. BY that time
1t is believed that either the malady
will be under control or that 1t will
be necessary to employ more strin-
gent rules.
The board will consist of the coun-
ty commissioners, DR.. Ferrell a.
county physician and the county
clerk as clerk of the board. I'm
doubtedly such an order will issue
from the county board this week and
fer thirty days at least there will be
no importations from California.
A Safeguard Measure
nion that there was no intent to work
a hardship on California products,
but that ii was a matter of self pres
eryation. Other states and sections
have taken the same precaution, and
it was explained that q county or q
state board of health has practically
unlimited power of quarantine when
ii is believed that life and property
is endangered. The embargo will
meet the approval of the local mer-
chants, who have voluntarily cut
down on their shipments. By max
ing it a lawful ruling there will be
no excuse for importations and pa
irons can act accordingly.
A number of instances of VIOLA
tions of quarantine regulations were
cited during the meeting and the
chamber is urging better cooperation
among the people with the officers
and those who are working to comply
with this great safety first measure.

On the Moore car and the injury OF
Mr.. Moors and Mrs. Cross, who was
taken to a hospital where she has
practically recovered from the shock
and bruises.
DR.. Dempsey was badly injured,
having several ribs broken, a number
of teeth knocked out and otherwise
lacerated and bruised. He is still
confined to his home. After viewing
the wreck the wonder is that some

Chamber of Commerce
Urges Vegetable Embargo
Asks County Board of Health To Issue Order
Prohibiting Imports; Petition Public Service
To Continue Motor Rail Gar

Monday evening a special meeting
OF the Churchill County Chamber of
Commerce was called by President
Benadum. Two matters of county
Importance were to be considered.
The first was the question of urging
complete embargo against Cali
fornia vegetables and fruits through
the county board of health. The sec
ond Is the matter of the discontinue
ance of tho motor train service into
this city over the Southern Pacific
lines. At the same time the PROPOSE
ton of the establishment of an auto
passenger service between this city
and Reno, and a permit from the
county for the same.
The question of the discontinue
anee of the motor service resulted in
protest being filed with the state
public service commission. and it was
explained that by the severence of
this service that the city and county
would suffer a great Inconvenience.
Mr.. Ed Walker, of the Reno CHAM
Dor of Commerce and also represent
ing the various chambers in their
complaints against all public service
corporations, was thanked for his
work in the past and he will prob
ably be asked to lend assistance in
this matter. As it stands the cham
Der protests any diseontinuance of
service, and they further agree that
tne present service as rendered by
the railroad people is as near perfect
as could be asked. In fact the COM
Dany has been complimented on the
service rendered and it is hoped that
the service may continue.
Embargo On Vegetables
Following considerable discussion
as to the possible harm of the inn
portation of fruits and vegetables
from California to this valley, the
matter was referred to the county
board of health.

REORGANIZATION PLAN
FOR CALNEVA COMPANY

Following orders from the Off
cials of the Calneva Oil Company to
abandon the we'll and pull the cas-
ing an injunction was served to pre-.
vent the orders. The injunction was
filed by Charles Way. owner of the
permit, and requires that the casing
buildings and equipment remain in
tact. He also holds a contract with
the company to complete a well to
1000 feet or forfeit the lease. Attor-
ney Bickmore, representing the COM
pany, spent a couple of days here
and agreed to the provision of the
contract.
At the time of the order to pull
the casing drillers Murray and Nc
Kenzie insist that the best showing
ever had at the property was in evil
dence. They are willing to continue
the drilling and it is likely that the
rig will be in operation again in
few days. 1t is now proposed to re-
organize the company and continue
work as it is the only equipped rig on
the field and the hole is in fine shape
with casing enough to go consider
able distance.
The abandonment order was a
complete surprise and the pulling of
the casing was stopped and most Of
il has been replaced, leaving the
hole ready for resumption.
New officers and conditions are
to be worked out locally as there is
faith in this section Both Murray
end Mckenzie have given a lot of
time and energy to the development
and it is anticipated that they will
round up a crew and continue the
work.

New Penstock
In Commission
Completion Comes In
Time To Help Power
and Water Situation

Tuesday morning water was sent
through the new penstock at Lahon-
tan dam, the work having been fin
iahed this week and everything con-
nected up. This is the result of prac-
tieally years work at the dam and
makes it possible to supply this sec
tion with power, which otherwise
would not be available owing to the
low water condition in the Truckee
Saves the Situation
1t was pointed out that with the
short supply of water now coming
through the Truckee river that had
it not been for the new penstock that
this valley together with Rochester
and Loveloek would be without cleo
trio energy. By the new installation
it WILL 1t is believed, be possible TO
keep power available through the
season. The water turned in Tues
day was a try out, but it is the in
tention to utilize the new penstock
instead of the Truckee feed from this
time on.
Helps Fernley
The adoption of the new penstocl1
to create electric energy relieves the
Fernley section for a time at least.
Water that has been necessary for
creating power through the Truckee
canal can now be diverted to Fern
ley and the bench section. Farmers
along the Fernley district have net
had enough water up to the present
time but with the new penstock in
operation most of the water in the
canal can be diverted to irrigation
purposes.
1t was stated at the reclamation
office that had it not been for the
new penstoek being in operative con-
dition that power would have been
short before the close of this month,
as irrigation demands take precedent
over that of power on the project,
and there is not enough water in. The
Truckee canal at this time to supply
both power and irrigation.
A few adjustments will have TO be
made at the new plant when it will
be put into active commission for
this seasons supply of power.

Again GiUe Up Hope

Again the news comes from the coal fields that
hope has been given up. This time it is for the
lives of la miners in the pits of the Wheeling
Steel Corporation, near Wheeling, West Va. This
news of the wanton murder of coal miners has
come often of late, from Southern Illinois, from
Northern Minnesota, from Utah and Pennsylvania,
as well as Kentucky, West Virginia and other
states And nearly always the death pits are nom
union mines.
The Benwood mine of the Wheeling Steel Cor
poration, open shop for the past two years. during
which three disasters have taken place. is another
tombstone in the West Virginia industrial grave
yard. 1t is another death monument to the greed
of the West Virginia mine barons, who have made
this state an outlaw among the commemorative of
the nation. In the days of the Russian car, West
Virginia was looked upon, by all thinking workers,
as the Siberia of America. The present disaster,
needless and criminal, is another proof of the
cheap price that the mine barons put upon the lives
of their coal diggers.
The Benwood disaster is challenge to every
member Of the United Mine Workers Union. 1t
is a grinning def of the mine barons, dripping
with the blood of hundreds of slaughtered workers.
against the whole labor movement. If the lives
of lis coal miners can be taken at Benwood, West
Va, without penalty to the mine owners, than the
conditions of labor and the lives Of all workers
are threatened.
The voices of the 115 dead may be silenced but
they call in thunder tones for the organization of
all West Virginia's non-union fields. They call
for the militant and aggressive West Virginia
Farmer-Labor Party. They call for the united
front of all producers to carry on successful war
against the ruthless owners of industry The tri-
umph of labor over its oppressors under capitalism
is the greatest penalty that could be inflicted upon
the murderous regime of the Wheeling Steel Cor
poration, and all its anti-labor breed.
Let the disaster at Benwood be spur to workers
everywhere to speed that day of final victory.
