Why doesn't the STANDARD como oui
and deny the statements OF the state
press TO the contrary, il Anaconda Is
paying the same wnges ia Butte! These
charges OF scab wages being paid in
Anaconda have been made fully a hun
dred times in tho past month in the OK
changes reaching tho STANDARD office
and not word docs ID offer IN denial,
Why2 Because tho charges are abso-
lu;ely true.
The mill men in the Anaconda COM
pany's employ receive twenty-five cents
per day less than tue same class Of labor
in Butto.
The common laborers in the Aua-
conda company's employ receive fifty
cents por day less than the same class
receive in Butte.
The car men in the Anaconda COM
pnny'5 employ at Anaconda receive fifty
cents per day less than like laborers in
Butte.
Inc nremen receive ntty cents less pei
day than they DO in tho Butte smelters.
The skimmers receive one dollar pei
day less than they do in tho Butte
smelters.
Let the Standard deny these things
IL they are not true. IL they are true
iet'it acknowledge tho fact and advise
the Anaconda company to cease paying
scab wages and give its men the pay
they are entitled TO- Because thii
wrong has been going on for three year,
is no reason it should be continued
longer Give the men the union scale
OF wages, aud then Anaconda will have
some title to the claim she makes ol
being a union town.

HERE Is THE RECORD.

For weeks past the papers OF the state
have contained many illusions TO the
fact that the Anaconda company at its
smelters pays less wages than are paid
elsewhere in Montana for the same class
OF work, but as yet no detailed state
ment In regard to the matter has been
made until yesterday morning, when
there appeared in the Butte Miner tho
article and comparative table presented
below. Coming as il does from an au-
thority upon the ground it possesses all
elements Of authenticity, and will serve
TO accentuate the assertion many times
made that the Anaconda company Is
not the friend Of union labor, regardless
Of the loud claims TO that effect made
by it's organ. The Miner says:
Anaconda bobs up once more with q
special plea for the votes OF the laboring
men Of Montana. and with the plea
comes a doletul repetition Of the claim
that the Anaconda company is the one
solicitous friend Of labor. That the
claim is false and untounded the Miner
has repeatedly shown, and has as re-
peatedly asserted that the men EN-
ployed in the smelters at Anaconda
receive from fifty cents TO dollar day
less than is received by the men 10 the
Butte smelters. In proof Of this we re-
print the following comparative table
taken from the Railway Review, whose
editor has been for yeurs resident oI
Apacouda.

A SIGNIFICANT REMARK.

In replying to the statement that the
scale OF wnges at Anaconda is very
much below the Butte scale, the West
ern Democrat, which is owned by Mar
Gus DAILY and was resurrected by him to
help fight for Anaconda, makes the sig
nificant remark: "Better reduced wages
than no wages at ALL" That is what
Carnegie said. II is also what Pullman
said. Therefore il is most proper that
one Of Mr.. Days mouthpieces should
say 1t also. Indeed il is not altogether
out OF the way to say that Mr.. DAILY
did himself make the remark to his
amelter employees some three years age
at the time OF the long shut down which
ended in the reduction of wages TO their
present figure. The logic Of the remark
evidently forced for itself Judgement
in the minds Of the poor, half-stnrvinp
workmen, too, and they evidently were
convinced that reduced wages were
better than no wages at nll," or they
would not have knocked under and &C
cepted the reduced scale. A question
which will naturally occur IN this con
nection is whether Mr.. DAILY is to bt
given sullicien. power to force that same
conviction upon the minds OF laborinl
men generally throughout the state
He is in the field asking for just thai
kind Of power. and to get their support
is giving the workingmen honeyed as
surances by the column. But woe tC
them if they grant his request.
