THE MINERS UNION TRIBUTE.
The Miners union of Butte, by a rising
vote. hundreds being present at the
meeting, adopted resolutions last even-
Ing testifying strongly to the ties of
friendship binding the deceased to the
friends of his younger years. Glass di-
vision. the relation of employer to en-
ploye, seems to fade away and grow
shadowy indeed as the members of the
union recall the good deeds of their
f1dend and benefactor and offer praise to
his memory. The resolutions follow:
Whereas, Divine Providence in its
wisdom has seen fit to call to his reward
our distinguished fellow citizen and
greatly beloved friend Marcus DAILY, and
whereas, We feel that in the untime-
ly death of this doughty old pioneer not
only all of the great region lying west of
the Rockies. not only the great state of
Montana, which he loved so we'll and in
whose resources and possibilities he had
such unbounded confidence, but also
every grade Of industry and labor exer-
cssed within that vast domain, has suf-
fered loss so deep and irreparaIble that
language fails to furnish terms to express
it, and the full measure thereof will only
be realized in the years to come. and
Whereas, His unostentatious and vir-
tuous life, his illimitable charity and
earnest solicitude for the welfare Of the
needy or distressed, to say nothing of his
magnificent generosity toward those who
We're associated with him in his numer-
GUS enterprises. render his memory the
dearer and his loss the more disastrous,
and
Whereas, Great andmagnificent as was
the elimination of most of his enterprs-
es and although success almost beyond
human expectation had crowned his en-
deavors, he never even in the zenith OF
hand, he, by his own physical toll
wrenched the treasures of the earth from
the grasp Of all enduring rocks and never
failed to extend willing hand and a
generous assistance to the underground
tOiler. and
Whereas, He at all times and ever rec
ognized the arduous nature and danger
of the life of the underground miner, and
ever lent ready and willing hand il,
maintaining a standard rate of pay for
those engaged in such employment there
fore he it
Resolved, BY the Butte Miners union
That this union realizes that in the
death of Marcus DAILY this nation has lost
a most illustrious citizen, this state an
able, progressive and indefa tigable bene-
factor, and this union and every menIbe,
thereof an honored friend and neighbor
whose loss the union sincerely bewails
and be it
Resolved, That this union and its
members extend to the bereaved widow
and family of the deceased an expression
of their deep sympathy and grief at this
untimely aft1iction, and fbe it further
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutions be given to the public press, that
the same be spread upon the minutes ot
