LEFT FOR SALT LAKE
IN ONE GIGANTIC UNION
A Plan 70 Consolidate All OF the Labor
Orgauisstious West of the Missis-
sappi River-Butte IL Well
Represented.

A large number ~ Butte working
men left for a D Lake on yesterday
afternoons train To attend what is ex-
pected to prove the greatest labor con-
vention ever held west Of h Missis-
sippi river. All the unions of the West
have been invited to send delegates to
this convention. and IL only half of
them respond. the convention will be
larger and more representative than
any vel before held in this section.
The convention is called under the
auspices of the Western Federation Of
Miners after consultation with the
leading union men of various states.
The general purpose of the convention
10 to consolidate all the labor unions
west of the Mississippi river into
gigantic organization.
The Western Federation Of Miners
was organized our years Pre-
vious to that time all unions of miners
were separate and distinct. under diff
ferent organizations with different
rules. different scales of wages. etc.
II was felt that the miners of the West
would be much stronger IL all were
centered into one organization. 50 the
miners of Colorado. Nevada, Utah.

lana sent delegates tn a convention
with the result that the Western
Federation of Miners was formed.
The convention which begins its ses-
sion in Salt Lake to-day. Is the next
step in the work of consolidating the
labor unions of the West. The miners
found their federation a good thing.
and the leaders of union labor have
concluded that IL would be a still bet

unions. The interests OF the Eastern
and Western wage arners are not by
m means identical. IL is argued, and
II is proposed to organize west of the
Mississippi into a federation which
shall be distinct from the organization
east of the great river.
Butte will be well represented at the
great convention, some Of the most
brilliant leaders of labor in this city
having been elected as delegates. 1t is
understood hat most of the Butte
delegation are favorable to the pro-
posed consolidation of all the labor
unions.
Among the delegates elected from
re Butte unions are the following:

Trees Will Not Obey the Gov
ernor's Proclamation.
THEY DECLINE TO GROW
Even the Russian Thistle Has Given the
Smoky City the Cold Shoulder.
N Arbor Day VIII Be
Observed.

This is Arbor day. The day does not
signify much in Butte. for Butte peo-
pie long ago got sick n tired OF try
ing to make trees obey the governors
Arbor day proclamation. For years the
people of this locality were loyal to the
day. and remained loyal until loyalty
ceased to be a virtue. Year after year
they would spend S. per tree for trees.
and hire a man for 50 per tree to set
them out. and in a few weeks after the
trees had died, have paid 50 more TO
have the trees dug up n cut up into
frewood. For years the people of Butte
set out grass roots, watered them twice
a day and covered them over carefully
at night. Violets n pansy bushes
were brought here at great expense and
set out with greatest care. but never
was there any gratifying result. So
far as heard from, nobody In Butte
has consented TO observe Arbor day in
the way the governor asks. but people
will hope that the governor VIII not
see anything personal In the refusal OF
his city to obey his proclamation. Let
the other cities set out their trees.
Butte does not want any trees, does not
like them. has conscientious scruples
against them. There was once "A man
who was killed by standing under a
tree during a thunder storm.
There was a time. a few years ago,
that Butte hoped to do something in
the way of vegetation. 1t was rumored
that the Russian thistle was headed
this way. Every other section of the
state had declared wal on the thistle.
The department of agriculture had lev
led proclamations at II. In all the state
Butte was the only place to offer 1t
welcome. 1t was reported to be COM
ing to Butte in several different direc-
tons. But some way or other the THIS
ties would invariably turn aside and
strike a new route just before reaching
Butte. They refused to come to their
promised land. Everything else had
failed to grow, and the people hoped
to have Russian thistle beds i'm their
front yards and along their streets In
lieu of grass and s~hrubbery and trees.
But the thistles, despised and mated
everywhere else. turned up their noses
In Butte, and would not come.
However. this Is Arbor day. the
schools will all be closed. The school
children. instead Of planting trees. as
in other cities. will all go out to the Big
Hole and fish and play In the grass and
see what trees look like. The teachers
will be along to see that the trees DO
not bite the children. The banks also
will be closed to-day. and some OF the
offices will observe the day. Among
merchants. however. the holiday Will
not be observed.
