(Special to the
GOLDFIELD, Nov. 16. There was a meeting of the miners'
union here this afternoon to consider the payment of the mln-
ers' wages in clearing house certificates, as it has been decided
to do by the Consolidated Mines company. There was an almost
unanimous sentiment against anything of the kind, the men de-
daring that they would accept nothing but cash. i
A committee, consisting of Messrs.; Gallagher, Moore and Gil-
bert was appointed to confer with the mine owners and bankers.
The proposition that the miners wish to submit is that the checks
issued from the mines be promptly paid In cash and not in certi-
flcates of the clearing house or any other kind. It was the sen-
tlment of the meeting that the smelters should pay cash for the
ore that is shipped to them, Instead of holding it back for two;
or three months. The committee was empowered to take up thfe

PRESIDENT, AMONG OTHER MEA
SURES, ADVOCATES POS
TAL SAVINGS RANKS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. A spec
ial to the San Francisco Chronicle
says: President Roosevelt has about
got his message to congresa ready,
and persons who have had friendly
chats with him recently say that he
has very freely discussed with them
topics which he will, without doubt.
treat of in that Important state doc
ument. ,
The recent flnacial disturbances
were given attention . and will be
used to point his belief that an
emergency taxable currency should
be authorized, based on assets. The
president will advocate federal 11
cense for all Inter-state corporations
with aggregate business exceeding
certain limits. , It will be urged that
the pow3rs of the Inter-state com
merce commission be evtended to su
pervision of stock and bond Issues.
Amendment of the 8herman anti
trust law is favored, so as to forbid
such combinations in restraint of
trade only as shall be pronounced
unreasonable by the courts. A grad
uate inheritance tax will be advo
cated and the postal savings bank
will get a good word, also the estab
lishment of a more effective public
health service, if not a new depart
ment' of public health. An income
tax will be urged. The revision of
the Philippine tariff bill is considered
essential for the prosperity of the
Islands, the president believing that
a better market should be created
for their products.
The passage of a modified shipping
bill Is another thing that Is pretty
sure to be urged In the message. -The
extension of the parcels post will be
given friendly attention, and there
are other things scheduled for re
view, but the pressing topics in the
president's mind are currency re
forms, modification of the Sherman
law, shipping bill and Philippine tar
iff legislation.
WILL PROCEED
AGAINST HARRI1IAN
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. In spite
of the insistence in certain quarters
that it is responsible for the flurry in
Wall street, with echoes in other
parts of the country, the administra
tion Is proceeding with Its plans, ac
cording to high authorities here, for
prosecution of the Harrlman roads
for alleged infringements of the law.
But before this course is taken it is
desired to conclude the hearing now
under way in New York, and make
Harrlman answer certain questions.
It is understood that Commission
er Lane has not yet made any report
on the rebating recently indulged in
by the Southern Pacific. The first
attack in the we.st will probably be
against the "community of interest"
between the Harrlman roads and the
Santa Fe, which, if proved, would
constitute a violation of the Sher
man anti-trust law.
