Y. NJ. Chadbourne, Of the Empire Mining
company, came in from Empire last night
and was asked II there was any founda.
tlon for the article In the Butte Mining
Journal which charges the company with
tyrAnnlcal methods in dealing with Its en-
ployes by compelling them 10 spend all
their wages and buy all their goods ut q
certain store. Mr.. Chadbourne said he
had not seen the article, but heard OF IL
since he arrived In Helena. He said he
was In no way Interested In
the affair and added "there Is nothing In
It." lie stated that the company did not
own the store In the first place. There
was one store near the mine and another
near the mill. and one Of these belonged 70
Bach, Cory a Co. OF this city. Recently
they had been consolidated into one, hav-
ing been bought up by Helena men, who
still own and conduct them. As there is
but one store In the place, and IL carries q
good stock which Il sells at reasonable
prices, IL is but natural that the men should
20 there 10 buy their goods. That's all
there Is about the matter.
