People from all over the west are coming to the little town of Keystone, 20 miles from here by stage, to try their luck at 1 finding gold.

"Holy Terror" vein which was presumably lost 18 years " ago. In the new vein, as in the old one, the gold can be seen in "chunks with the naked eye.

NO. 6. an LnJ RETURN OF SOLDIERS REQUESTED Senator Fall Introduces Reso- totion to Declare State of Peace With Germany and Austria-Hungary. Washington, . Tune 23. So that war conditions may not be pro longed should the peace treaty fail of ratification or its approval be greatly delayed, opponents of the league of nations presented in the senate a proposal to declare a state cf peace with Germany and Austria- riungary. The declaration was introduced both as an amendment to the pend ing army bill and as a separate joint resolution by Senator Fall of New Mexico,, a republican member of he ' foreign relations committee. The amendment is expected to roraif up Sattuday. Both in his amendment and in his resolution ; Senator Fall pro poses the president be directed to secure the immediate return of all military and naval forces now abroad on duty connected with the war. In addition would provide that none of the money appro priated by the army bill could be used for the maintenance of forces on foreign soil, except, as required by peace conditions. A joint resolution similar to that presented by Mr. Fall was intro ducee by Senator Edge, republican, of New Jersey. It was considered quite probable that the amendment will be rejected pn a point of order and that the league opponents would then line up generally behind the Fall resolution. Fight Follows Calm. .

This announcement promptly was met by predictions from league sup porters that the Knox 'risolution never would be brought to a vote. Presentation of the peace declara tion proposals led to no debate,-although issues of the league fight had been discussed earlier in the day in connection with the inser tion of matter relating to it in d:e senate record. Senator Hale, re publican, of Maine, also made an attack on the league covenant in presenting an amendment to the Knox resolution. ' , ' Text of Resolution.

OMAH, TUESDAY, 21211 rn 44-HOUR WORK DAY PLEDGED BY LABOR Federation Bases Demand on Determination to Prevent Unemployment It Says Causes Present Unrest. Atlantic City, June 23. The American Federation of Labor at the closing session of . its annual convention pledged itself 'to obtain a general 44-hour week for workers in all crafts throughout the United States and for employes in the government service. The demand was based on a determination to prevent unemployment, which the delegates declared is one of the two primary causes of industrial- unrest. The other cause, it was said, is the decreased purchasing power of the dollar. Manufacturers and employ ers were urged to "bridge the gap" and increase Wages "without any controversy." 1 Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, was greeted with a roar of cheers when he announced three of the four great brotherhoods the engineers, conductors and trainmen had applied for charters in the federation. The fourth brotherhood the firemen he said, was 'consid ering a similar application. If the firemen decide to affiliate, the ranl.s of the federation will be increased by 500.000 tmen.

Despite this the production of the country dur ing thewar was greater than at any other given period in history. Of course, this great production was materially increased by the intro duction of women into the factories, and to a large extent by the elim ination of the liquor industry and taking over of people previously en gaged in that work for war produc tion.
