with our unbounded natural re-
sources of latent wealth, assisted by
the most wonderful inventions OF labor
saving machinery, blessed by a climate
adapted to every condition of human
life, apparently touched by divine favor
and recognition, aided by men of in

them into useful service-by the opera
ton of this improved and extensive
labor-saving machinery it was hoped

producers of the country; but on the
contrary they have proved detrimental
to the working people, for the reason
that they have placed labor at a dis
count by increasing the power of mo-
nopoly. Having increased this power,
1t is being used as an instrument to
erslave, Cypress and degrade labor.
These inventions have added nothing
to the warehouses of luxury of the
working people, nor have they dimin-
ished the burden of the toiler by an
hour. The man who operates the ma
chine is required to work as many
hours as his former brother. Every
iabor-saving machine should lessen the
burden of labor and add to the sum Of
10y and comfort of the toiler
"Of what use are those inventions if
they do not tend to tighten the burden
of the industrial people and shorten
their hours of toll? OF what benefit are
they to society if they are to be mo-
nopolized by private individuals and
operated for personal advantage and
private profit. I fear that they will
prove seriously detrimental to society

UNITED STATES COURT.
Some of the Matters for the September

The United States court will convene
the September term this morning, Judge
Hiram Knowles presiding. Clerk of
the Court Sproule arrived from Helena
last evening, and Judge Knowles came
in from Missoula later on the Northern
Pacific. Marshal Woolman and his
chief deputy, S. K. Mcdowell, came over
from Helena last night. Assistant

comparisons. A gratifying showing is
made in the amount of domestic money
orders paid out during the past few
years as compared with the amount
paid out previously. While the popu-
lation has increased to large extent,
the number of money orders sent out
of Butte do not exceed in amount those
sent out a few years ago. This is at
tributed to the fact of people buying

a good share of the basement also
available for the office. 1t will contain
rooms for the United States court,
chambers for the judge of the court,
offices for the United States marshal,
United States district attorney, United
States court commissioner, internal
revenue officers and the United States
postoffice inspector. There will also be
on the floor rooms for the United States
jury.
THE upper floor will have a dormi-
tory sufficient to comfortably house IS
postal clerks.
"The titles to the ground upon which
the postoffice is to be built have been
perfected and the architects office is
working upon the plans and will COM
plete them by the LIST of November at
the latest. So soon as that is done and
the plans approved there will be an ad-
vertisement under the plans and speci-
fications in one of the leading trades
journals of the United States and in at
least one of our local papers for the
period of six weeks, calling for bids
upon the contract. This will carry the
letting of the contract to about the first
or middle of January, giving the con-
tractors ample time to get out their
material and place the same on the
ground by spring.
Goodness knows" continued Mr.. r.
win, as he wheeled far enough around
in his chair to be able to glance over
the cramped quarters used by his
force of clerks, that we need more
room. I don't believe there is another
postoffice in the country where so
much business is done in such small
quarters. Here, Mr.. Flavin, just please
give this reporter some figures, will
you? He is looking for news"
Mr.. Irwin turned the reporter over

IN THE FRONT RANK.
Fact Brought Out in Youngest Married
Couples Contest.

Butte is up to date in every line of
industry and enterprise. That was
shown at Columbia gardens yesterday.
when the Labor day prizes were being
awarded contestants in the various
games and contests.
The prizes offered for the youngest
married couples on the ground brought
out three sets of young married people
whose united ages reach only Ill years,
an average of 1917 years to the indi-
vidual. The husband and wife who
won the first prize were only is and is
years old respectively.
When the three young couples stood
before the judges the three smooth
faced husbands and their pretty young
wives, blushing and smiling, the spec
tacle was an interesting one. Who
says Butte isn't in the front rank of
progressive cities?

presses their deep resentment at the
governors willful disregard of the peo-
pies constitutional rights"
At the conclusion of Mr.. McDonald's
speech William Welch introduced Mr..
Boyce. Mr.. WEIGH made some pointed
and complimentary remarks in this
connection. He described Mr.. Boyce as
one of the great labor leaders. At the
name of Mr. Boyce there was enthus-
iastic applause.

of sympathizing with those unjustly
imprisoned. This is an infamous out
rage and invites the condemnation of
the world. The perpetrator of such
crimes has earned himself the hottest
cell in hell l question whether the
manager of the great lake of fire and
birthstone would be willing to degrade
his standing in social criminal circles
by association with such a cowardly,
degenerate cur. A permit system has
been introduced and enforced in our
sister state, the most infamous impo-
sition ever inflicted upon the rights and
liberties of free people, or ever touch
ed the pages of American history, or
ever woven in the loom of imposition
on the warp of crime by the thread of
greed.
In this age the momentous question
of labor is living issue. The solving
of this problem has attracted the bright
est minds of the world. A number Of
the fundamental principles advocated
by organized labor are meeting with
the approval and Endorsement of the
intelligent, thinking public mind. They
are discussing questions of interest to
society that originated in the ranks OF
labor; you have succeeded in getting
the ear of the public mind and interest
ing a great mass of the people in the
great cause of labor. The people are
evidently awakening to the condition of
things and are becoming sufficiently
interested to hear the truth and suffi-
GENTLY concerned to realize the situa-
ton. Is not the rapid growth of trusts
responsible for the interest and con-
Germ on the part of the people? Through
a profound system of cunning jugglery
they have Chloroformed the industrial
people with the promises of prosperity,
while the rich have plundered the coun-

PRESIDENT BOYCE.
Salvation of Labor the Formation of an
Independent Company.

Mr. Boyce said:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I regret that
it is impossible for me to address you
on this occasion. l have been out of
the city and have been unable to pre-
pare a speech. However, l shall speak
to you for a few moments. l will not
detain you long, as l know you came to
enjoy yourselves.
This is the sixth Labor day in the
United States. The question that con-
fronts us is, what have the laboring
people of Butte to be thankful for?
You have the right to assemble here
to-day, but 200 miles west of here, in
Shoshone county, Idaho, you would not
have it. How long will it be until Butte
is in the same condition as the laborng
men of Shoshone county are in now?
1t may come soon. The Standard Oil
company, which is a principal owner
here, may bring it about
Soldiers are now being sent to the
Philippines to shoot freedom into the
natives. Aguinaldo is a traitor to-day.
A year ago he was patriot.
Then, my friends, is it not time for
the laboring men to meet the enemy?
The standing army is to be increased
to hold the poor man in subsection.
They mean to subject the laboring peo-
pie. The time is not far distant when
the laboring people must take one side
or the other-the capitalistic or their
own. They have one duty ahead of
them, and that is to vote independently
and for themselves.
Hanging for Scab.
1--WE are all union men here to-day,
and a scab, if here, would be likely to
be hanged. But it is not the poor scab
that is to blame. Next election day
the union man will be a scab-will vote
as a Scab.
There is no difference between the
great Dartics. The laboring men must
get together and elect men who will
represent them. Last election you
voted for man who has proven him
self an unComprOmiSing enemy of labor
that is the present congressman-an
you voted against Mr.. Hogan, the pres
ent secretary of state, who has always
been a staunch friend of labor.
1.-THE only solution to the question
between the masses and capital lies IN
organizing labor in a great labor organ
ization. 1t seems impossible to do that.
There is division after division among
laboring bodies to-day. They seem un-
able to join hands. 1t is the laborer
