It does not decline to continue az
union mills and shops those which
have been SO in the past, but it refuses
to unionize such of it's plants as have
been non-union heretofore, holding
that it would be treating unfairly
those of its employees who do not care
to affiliate with the organization of
which Mr.. Shaffer is president. Brief
ly put, the corporation reserves the
right to operate both union and non
union works, without discriminating
against either and treating all on the
same basis. On behalf of the associa-
ton MI. Shaffer demands that all men
employed by the company in it's mills
and plants of various kinds be COM
PEELED to join the union. OF course,
it is readily to be seen what the mo-
tive is that impels this demand. The
association wants to be supreme and
in absolute control of the labor nee
essary to operate the many mills,
shops, and other plants that enter
into the aggregation owned and oper-
ated by the corporation. The advan-
tage such a condition would give the
association is easily to be seen and
understood. The Amalgamated asso-
citation would then be a trust as pow
erful and complete as. the United
States Steel corporation now is,
probably even more so.
1t is this element of what may be
designated as coersion of sentiment
which enters into the present strug-
gle that has a tendency to make the
side of the men less popular than it
would be otherwise. Were they sim
ply fighting for increased wages or
shorter hours the sympathy of the en-
tire country would be with them, but
as it is the public is inclined to hold
aloof and allow the struggle to con-
tinue until the end.

MIGHT BE MUCH WORSE.

Just when it seemed that the corr
and others of the late crops in the
southwest were doomed to almost
total destruction because of the con
tinued drouth, the report comes OF
bounteous rains in most of the affect
ed localities and while the crops will
not prove to be as large as the indi
cations earlier in the season portend
ed, they will yet be far from a com
plete failure. In fact it is now said
that corn will average a half crop
and that the pasturage will be sufic.
lent for all needs, thus removing the
necessity for farmers to sell their live
stock at ruinous prices. There will
be no corn or other feed famine, even
though crops may be a little short,
and to compensate them for the loss
in that direction, the farmers of Kan
sas have garnered a phenomenal crop
OF wheat and with the large savings
OF the past few years, estimated at
from 100000, 900 to $40, OOO, 900, the
horney handed sons of toll of the corn
belt are not to be classed among
those in actual and direful need and
they may be depended upon to be- able
to weather the storm without the hui
initiating necessity of calling on the
people Of the more favored regions
for aid and assistance.
The improved conditions resulting
from the abundant rainfalls of the
past few days are beginning to mani
fest themselves in the upward ten
dency of the railroad securities, which
a week ago were seeking purchasers
in a sadly depressed market. The
continued talk of crop failures and
the consequent decreased earnings of
the granger" roads materially af-
fected the stocks of those companies
and a decidedly pearish feeling was
apparent on the boards on which then
are listed. The temporary fright hay
ing passed, prices are again advancing
and those who were fortunate enough
buy during the brief period of de-
preston are now pluming themselves
upon their shrewdness and many men
gained the reputation of inan-
clal Gunner without having earned it.

With IL hits to the opponents sew

MERELY A MINER Joke.

The unusually bright and quick
witted Butte Inter-Mountain allows
itself to be made the victim of the
Joking propensities of it's neighbor,
the Miner. The Inter-Mountain takes
as serious the utterances of the Miner
on the tariff and really believes that
it's Broadway contemporary is in earn
est when it inveighs against the re-
publican policy of protection. The
Miner, no more than the Inter-Moun-
tain desires the existing tariff dis
turbed, unless, perhaps, along the
lines suggested by Representative
Babcock n some more who believe
that the time has come when the
country should adopt the reciprocal
trade favored by Blaine and the pres
ident himself. The owner of the
Miner is n of those anomalies, a
democratic protectionist, and is so on
record. Neither he nor his news
paper want to see thetariff removed
on lead, copper, sugar, wool or any
of themany other articles entering
into the products of the country which
could be named and which are bene-
fitted by the existing schedule of dut-
les. The gentleman has declared
himself to this effect so often that
his sincerely cannot be doubted and
is personally so largely interested in
the production of SO many that he
may be depended upon to not to give
aid or comfort of any material nature
to those who are still unregenerate
and adhere to the Cleveland ideas of
tariff.
The Inter-Mountain should endeavor
to learn to distinguish between the
Miners 'jokes" and it's serious eff.
forts a task we admit sometimes
rather difficult of accomplishment, but
1t can be done by thinking real hard
and carefully.

presence Of a number Of firemen in
the. hall ready to respond to an alarm
at the instant, thus practically giving
the city the advantage of a paid de.
partment without mourning the heavy
expense which such an organization
entails.
But there are many other and prob.
ably more forcible arguments to be
advanced in favor of the construction
Of a new city building. Such a struc-
ture would add to the city's credit and
standing and would be one Of its most
valuable assets and an excellent adj
vertisement Of its stability and pros
perity. After all, when strangers ar
rive in a place either with the view
to engaging in business or seeking
avenues Of investment in other d.
rections they make it a point to ac-
quaint themselves with the public i'm
provements Of the place they may
have decided upon and guage their
estimates Of it's ~permanency and pros
perity by them. AS they are modern
and valuable 10 do they indicate the
character Of the city as being progress
sive and prosperous and are a certain
index of the spirit Of the people. The
amount of bonds decided upon by the
council is small compared with the
taxable value of the property which
will have to defray the cost of the
redemption of the bonds. The inter-
est is the legal rate required under
the laws at present governing the is
suing OF bonds by municipalities of
the state and the tenure of the bonds
is of such a length that
when they shall have reached matur-
ity it is but reasonable to suppose the
city will be much larger and possess
ed of much greater wealth than it
now possesses, besides a new genera
ton will then have sprung up and
upon it will fall the greater part of
the burden of payment.
The Gazette is a firm believer in
Billings and while ~tavoring a MISERY'S
tive and careful policy in regards to
all public improvements, it heartily
is in favor OF the proposed city build
ing and hopes and urges that the
bonds will carry by a large majority,
for the need Of such a structure is
urgent and great.

PUSHING BILLINGS.

The following from the Cody,
(Wyo.) Enterprise shows how the
people of the other towns in this sec.
ton of the northwest regard Billings:
"That town of Billings continues to
push forward along commercial lines,
and presents a business activity quite
refreshing. In a word, Billings is a
thoroughly live town and is taking on
a noticeable growth, a feature very
satisfactory to the surrounding towns,
except the very few who are afflicted
with a morbid jealousy founded upon
neither reason nor common sense"

NEW FIELDS.

Not only does the United States
intend to supply England with a large
share of the coal she will have to con.
sumo in the future, but is also prepar-
ing to supply her with another com
modify of which the island kingdom
is finding herself running short. This
latter is granite, strange as it may
sound n seem. Some of the quarry
men of Rockland, Me-, are going to
make a shipment of the stone within
a short time and are confident of sue
cess following the venture, as with
true Yankee forethought and prudence
they thoroughly p%rospected the field
before finally deciding to make ex.
pertinent. They sent an agent over
who studied the conditions as thew
exist in the granite quarries of Scot.
land and England and the reports he
brought back were of the most en-
couraging nature. He as~certained
that the quarries of Scotland, which
Tor centuries have been England's
chief source of supply of granite, have
been practically worked. At Aber.
deem he found the quarries to have
been worked to such a depth that it
is not longer feasible to operate them
successfully, as they have been sunk
as deep as the coal mines and blocks
of stone of proper dimensions are not
to be obtained from them any longer.
The emissary of the Nantes also
learned that England has begun to
import granite from Sweden and
Russia and is looking toward New
fOundland as a possible source of
supply, in case the experiment of i'm
porting from the two countries named
does not prove satisfactory.
Should they be as successful as
they anticipate, the men from Maine
will probably not long remain in I'M
disputed possession Of the field, for
Vermont and some of the other states
near to the eastern seaboard possess
immense deposits of granite and they
may be relied upon to become export
ers Of the material.
The first shipment which the Rock
land men intend to make will be a
small one, about 1000 or 5000 tons,
and will go direct from the quarries
to Liverpool. J. L. Goss, who is in
charge of the shipment and who is
directing matters in connection with
It generally, in an interview on the
subject recently said:

BATTLE OF ANT

AS the statement issued by j. Pier
pont Morgan & Co.. may be accepted
as the final answer of the United
States Steel corporation to the de
mands of the Amalgamated asso
citation, the people of the coun
try may well prepare themselves
TO witness a struggle be.
tween giants. It is not to be assumed
that President Shaffer will be content
to accept the answer without making
a desperate effort to win the fight
which he and his organization have
precipitated, while on the other hand
it is not at all likely that the steel
combine will recede from it's position,
at least not for a long time to come,
If ever. From the very wording of
the statement it is apparent that it
was not given out without having been
duely weighed and considered and the
situation thoroughly discussed in all
OF its bearings. 1t is possible that
the Amalgamated association may win
in the end, but such a possibility
seems decidedly remote, as things now
seemingly stand. The corporation
Which the men are fighting is un-
doubtedly the wealthiest and most
powerful against which organized
labor has ever attempted to wage a
war. Its resources are almost mex.
haustable, while those of the strikers.
no matter how well they may be pre-
pared for the battle now on, will some
time come to an end. When long
continued idleness and un]productive
ness result in the dissipation of the
FUNDS laid up against just such a
time as the present and the strikers
and those dependent upon them begin (
TO lind themselves in want, the sit
uafion now rather attractive because
nov and to be viewed with but little
concern, will assume an entirely diff
ferent aspect. The more determined
n strong minded may still insist
upon a continuation of the fight. but
there will be plenty of weaker ones
who will see nothing ahead, except
more suffering and want and they will
favor Cancellation and then complete
surrender. The history of all pro-
tracted labor strikes is full Of such
incidents and it is not unreasonable
to suppose that the present one will
prove any different. Meanwhile the
loss to both sides will continue to
grow and soon reach proportions that
are staggering when contemplated.
No matter how the association may
view the situation, or how much SYM
pathy may be with the members, the
fact remains that the present struggle
