Down in San Francisco you hear all
kinds of rumors about strikes anil labor
throubles here in Butte" said j. Win
field Scott, newspaper correspondent and
story writer, who is in the city again, af-
; ter an absence of a year.
II heard there that 10000 men were on
strike in Butte, and that things looked
decidedly warlike. Coming here. I find
there is no trouble at all. 1t is a case
of going away from home to hear the
news, sure enough; and the news isn't
reliable. it seems.

having trouble. Iron workers, butchers.
cooks and walters, and some other work.
ers, are out on strike, and the outlook
is gloomy. Many Of the strikers, des-
. pairing Of a settlement with their old

places, some Of them going as far as

will not recognize their union.
MANY of the keepers have yielded tc
the demands for wages and hours of Ia

: well organized as the strikers. and there
, is little prospect of settlement in the
near future"
