No. IV.–Assembly Joint and Concurrent Resolution, memorializing the Congress of the United States in the matter of the Stewart Institute.

[Passed January 31, 1908.]

      Whereas, The State of Nevada has a large population of Indians, and there is now, and for some years continuously last past there has been, located near Carson City, Nevada, the Stewart Institute, for the moral, intellectual and manual training of Indians, which Indians have no other school accommodations, and at which there is now, and always has been, a large attendance, and which is, and has been, of great and lasting benefit to said Indian population; and

      Whereas, It has been made to appear to the Legislature of Nevada that it is the intention of the Congress of the United States to discontinue the maintenance and conduct of the said Stewart Institute, and to that end withhold necessary appropriations therefor;

the said Stewart Institute, and to that end withhold necessary appropriations therefor;

      Now, therefore, the Legislature of the State of Nevada duly convened in the Capitol, at Carson City, Nevada, do respectfully petition the Congress of the United States to continue the maintenance and conduct of the said Stewart Institute, and to make the necessary appropriation therefor, to the end that the moral, intellectual and manual training of said Indian population may be advanced; and the Secretary of State is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to His Excellency the President of the United States, the United States Senators and the Representative of the State of Nevada in Congress.

No. V.–Assembly Joint and Concurrent Resolution, relative to conditions at Goldfield.

[Passed February 1, 1908.]

      Whereas, This Legislature believes the present industrial condition at Goldfield to be detrimental to the best interests of the State of Nevada, and as a condition of strike or lockout means the enforced idleness of many good citizens, and thereby in this instance the non-development of Nevada’s paramount industry, mining; and as there is reason for belief that the old wage schedule at Goldfield is not exorbitant, considering the cost of living, and the real value of the skilled labor required at mining in that district; and

      Whereas, It appears that the restoration of the former wage schedule at Goldfield would end the present unfortunate controversy there; therefore be it

      Resolved by the Assembly, the Senate concurring, That we believe that high wages and good conditions attract and secure a high and skilled class of labor, which results in a correspondingly cheaper cost of production, thereby eventually increasing the profits of the mine operator and bringing a better class of labor and citizens into the State; and we therefore suggest and recommend that the former scale of wages be restored to the miners at Goldfield; and be it further

      Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded by the Secretary of State of Nevada to the Mine Operators’ Association of Nevada at Goldfield, Nevada.

Conditions at Goldfield.

Operators asked to restore former wage rate.
