BUTTE LABOR CONDITIONS
Special Agent Dewey Is Inter-
viewed in Spokane.
HE TALKS QUITE FREELY
Butte Workingmen, He Says, Go on q
Strike for All Kinds of Minor
Grievances and Sympathetic
Strikes Are Common.

A. M. Dewey, the special agent of the
| bureau of labor, who recently spent
| considerable time in Butte inquiring
into the conditions of labor here, is nov
in Spokane, and in newspaper inter-
views is comparing the conditions there
with those he found in this city.
Compared with Butte, the labor or
CARNATIONS Of Spokane are very con-
sentative indeed" he said. why, the
building trades have two or three
strikes week in Butte and take them
as a matter of course.
1.-THE record of strikes in Butte for the
past five years does not show a single
instance where the unions have struck
ON account of the hours of work or
wages, not single instance.
They strike for all kinds of minor
Observation-Disclosures man does not buy
his material in Butte. employs outside
labor, discharges a man, etc. Sympa-
thetic strikes are the order of the day.
their demands they tie up all work in
the city
The plumbing business in Butte is
badly tangled, and the employers now
claim that they have the backbone of
the unions in Butte broken because
of discussions among the journeymen
themselves. From what I can learn
the condition there is just about the
reverse of that in Spokane as regards
the master plumbers Butte origin
ally had a Master Plumbers associa-
ton, which embraced all the boss
plumbers in the city. One of the mem
bers, 1sadore Kruger, discharged an
employe who was member of the
journeymen's union The association
decided to stand back of MIR. Kruker
and defy the union. For personal rea-
sons, however, Mr.. Kruger. seems to
have taken matters into his own hands
and re-hired the man whom he had dis
charged. This so incensed all the other
members of the Master Plumbers as
ISOLATION that they withdrew from their
organization, leaving Mr. Kruger as
the sole master plumber of the associa-
ton.
The journeymen plumbers in the, as
ISOLATION supported Mr.. Kruger and
now refuse to work for the other boss
plumbers. The seven shops which had
left the association Immediately Sc
cured new journeymen and their EN-
ployes have now organized an oppos-
ing local union. The one man in the
Master Plumbers association continues
to hire only members of the original
union,, and the other seven shops hire
the new union, with no prospect Of
either side giving in"
From his 25 years of investigation and
observation Of labor matters through
out the country Mr.. Dewey is in a po-
sitlon to comment with considera BILE
authority on the various phases of la
Dor disputes While his experience has
made Mr. Dewey a socialist. and he
does not hesitate to. SO declare himself.

with my boot heel, and in so doing my
foot struck an old and rusty gold pan.
l took the pan and filed it with the
gravel and washed it down, and about
so cents was the result. This led us on
to renewed efforts, and the next day we
started out to wash the gravel in the
primitive way, because our facilities
for placer mining We're limited to pick
and shovel that we had taken along in
cases of emergency. We rugged up a
sluice box and shoveled the gravel into
it, and the small stream of water at our
service did the rest, and the first day
we cleaned up $34
I'VE worked in this way for cou-
pie of months, when we washed out
some very rich gold float. AS the grav-
ell after awhile ceased to be rich, we
turned our attention to a search for the

TESTIMONY NOW ALL IN
The Pennsylvania Case All Over
but the Summing Up.
ADJOURNMENT TO FRIDAY
The Trial Has Lasted More Than Two
Months - To-Day Judge Clancy
Will Go Over the Ground
in Controversy.

| The trial of the big Pennsylvania
mining case is ended so far as the in
PRODUCTION of evidence is concerned.
The trial opened on Aug. II and con-
tinued daily for six days a week. al
most without interruption, till yester-
day noon, when the putting in of evil
dence was completed. 1t occupied more
than two months, and has been ex-
tremely interesting in it's details.
The evidence will be argued on Fri
day, to which date the case was adj
journed at noon yesterday. The argu-
ments will open at 9 o'clock. and if it
be necessary a night session of the
court may be held by Judge Clancy
to finish it. 1t is expected that the ar
guments will be finished and the case
submitted and closed by Friday even
ing. There will be al least nine hours
of argument on Friday. Eight hours
will be devoted to general argument,
and at least one hour to argument
upon amendments to the complaint,
which will be offered by the plaintiff.
The ability of the respective counsel is
pledge that the arguments will be
exceedingly interesting, and the vari-
Gus features of the case will be illum-
dned by them no doubt
To-day Judge Clancy, under the guild
ance of a mining expert from each
side, will visit the underground work
dngs of the Pennsylvania and Rarus
mines and inspect the veins and ore
deposits forming the subject of the
controversy, together with the geolo-
logical formations that bear upon the
various legal issues. The judge eN-
poets to secure some information con-
corning the veins. faults and other
matters at first hand that will be of
aid to him in reaching his decision in
the case.
Frank L. Sizer and Oscar H. Brown,
two of the plaintiffs witnesses. were
the last gentlemen to testify in the
case and their evidence, agreeing in all
particulars with that of the other wit
nesses in rebuttal, was brief. There
was no evidence in Surrebuttal.
When the case opened in the morn
ing Frank L. Sizer, another expert wit
ness for the plaintiff, took the witness
stand.
He described the workings near the
surface relating to the defendants No.
s Pennsylvania vein and apex. He said
that the workings near the surface
are on seepage cracks and not veins.
What do you say as to the raise
surface carrying a vein?' asked Mr..
Cotter.
There is no vein there nor any apex
at the surface" said Mr.. Sizer. III
He also said that there is no vein in
