Union Attempts Violence.

For some time past there has been
trouble brewing between the Sailors
Union and the shipping masters who
are finding crews for ships at the same
or a little less wages than the Union
demands for shipping men. The ship
ping masters have been so successful
in fact. that the Union agent has be
come a little desperate and determin-
ed that he would have TO do some
thing or else his hold on the men who
are ashore would fast be lost.
Yesterday Lewis and Turk shipped
n crew for the ship Louisiana and the
Union heard Il and let the captain
know that he could not sail from the
port unless he took a Union crew. The
Union ala not care IL the ship stayed
here all summer. She would have TO
take a Union crew.
Lewis and Turk being the most ac-
tive opponents Of the Union here
they were selected for beating at
the hands OF the sailors who are not
content TO work for the regular Union
rate OF thirty.five dollars month and
say they will not let anybody else
work for t. The two men were seen
coming down Nuuanu street. They
we're alone and when near the corner
Of Queen they were surrounded by 9
crowd OF about twenty men. all sait
ors OF the Union. who attempted C
do the shipping masters. Lewis ano
his partner did not relish the job oi
standing OF a whole ships crew anc
so they separated, one running down
Queen street and the other to the po
lice station. where an alarm was turn
cd I'm and soon a squad OF police was
on the spot where the trouble was.
Lewis managed 10 outfoot his pur
sners and got into the store OF tht
Wnder's Ship Chandiery. while his
foes hung around outside and threaten
ed ali sorts OF things should he come
out. The patrol wagon drove up jus
then however. and the crowd dispers

II the Inter-Isiand and Wilder Steam
ship Companies got as much in pro-
portion for carrying ordinary freight
as they do for the Transportation of
a dead body their stock would be the
most valuable security OF all the isl

that because a man is dead he should
be imposed upon and made to pay for
trip six times as much as when he
is living. especially as the companies
save his feed on the trip. Neyerthe-
less the fact remains that mar who
IS alive can 90 TO I.ahsina for i've
dollars. and the same man II ne IS
dead IS charged thirty dollars for the
same trip.
Several reasons we're advanced yes
terday by the wise ones for the ap-
parently exorhitant charge. One man
said that the companies could get but
one fare out of . dead man and as il
was bis last they raised the rate on
him. Another said that a msn should

have to take 4 steamer trip. In his
opinion Il was 20 discourage the habit

VALUE OF COAL MINES.



Statistics prove beyond a doubt that
the coal industry of Montana is yearly
becoming more and more important.
its steady increase in output and reve-
nue. returned adding materially to the
wealth Of the state.
Operators of coal mines all over the
state have voluntarily forwarded to
the office of j. A. Ferguson commits
sioner of the state bureau of agricul-
ture labor and industry. figures for the
year 1900 and these have been COM
piled and tabulated by l.. p. Benedict,
chief clerk of the office. An interesting
showing is made.
1t is shown that during 1900 the coal
mines of Montana produced 1,693.773
tons of bituminous coal. The market
for the most. If not all, OF this coal is
found in the state. 1t brought to the
mine owners last year the good round
sum of $2,3t9,O5 on a capitalization OF
$5.'90.500 The amount of money in
vested In coal mines was considerably
increased during the year by extensive
improvements on various properties.
The previous annual report showed
production OF 1857 APT tons, valued at
2,130,094. This gives an increase in
the value of the output for 1900 of $685..
$50.
Twenty-one mines are in operation in
the state. with an acreage of 5000.
The owners claim that about 900 acres
of land all told are to be deducted from
this acreage as having been practically
worked out That fact, however, cuts
very little figure in estimating the flu
ture coal supply of the state. Many OF
the mines find larger veins and better
coal the farther they go. and experts
have given it as their opinion that Mon
tana's supply of coal Is practically
limtless, and that many generations
will come and go before it is exhausted.
Most Of the coal produced in Montana
is bituminous. but sufficient supply
of col<ing coal was taken out during
