one side stands the employer defend
ing his interests; on the other the la
borer asking for better conditions and
for larger share in the product. This
issue cannot be ignored; neither can
it be avoided
The failures of untimely and injudi-
cious strikes have forced the best reg
ulated unions. profiting by past mis-
takes, to adopt all kinds of regulations
and restrictions.
These restrictions are calculated to
avoid hasty and-impulsive strikes; to
remain to work pending the approval
by the proper authorities is one of the
essential features
The poorest adviser in an emergen-
cy of that kind is the man who talks
the loudest, ignoring common sense
and appealing to passion.
Is the Boycott Legal?
The question as to whether or not
union can rightfully or legally make
use of the boycott to accomplish their
ends, is one that has caused considera-
BILE study on the part of not only the
employer and employee but also among
the legal profession.
Some judges declare boycotting I'M
lawful and have issued injunctions re-
straining unions from injuring the bus
| mess of certain manufacturers. 9th
er judges refuse to enjoln labor unions
| from boycctting, and it is pretty hare
| to tell whether a union can legally
boycott an unfair employer or not
Judge Blanchard. sittips in specia

York, has refused to enjoin labor
unions from sending out alleged boy

some of the sections of the new agree
ment were adopted by the scale com
mittee, subject to the action of the
joint convention which meets March
II. 1t is understood, as usual, that
no part of the scale is permanently
adopted until the entire agreement is
ratified The parts adopted yesterday
afternoon in accordance with the I'M
derstanding are as follows:
That the price to be paid for pick.

ing the year commencing April 1,1902,
and ending March 81, 1903, shall be

the operator of the mine
THAT in sub-district No. the

Screened lump coal, per TONS .95
These, sections are all the same as

sary changes as to dates. The next
matter that came up for discussion
was that of the mine run price in the
first district. which was passed over
as mentioned above.
The Van Meter Mine.
Some time was given by the scale
committee yesterday afternoon to. a
miner from Van Meter, Owen Galusha,
who explained the conditions existing
in the mine where he works, and which
are different from those at any of the
other mines in the state. This was
for the purpose of aiding the commit
tee when the time comes for making
a scale for this mine. Ia

mining camp. the donations poured
in rapidly and by Thursday evening
in the neighborhood of 500 had been
collected from the business men and
the miners, who are ever willing to
aid case of sickness or distress.
Judge Sawyer states that Mr.. Wilson
will have charge of the laundry as
soon as he is able to get around, as
he is satisfied that despite the loss of
an arm he will still be able to attend
to and oversee large portion of the
business. At present Wilson is in the
hospital, but as soon as he can be
moved he and his wife will occupy a
portion of Judge Sawyer's new house,
where they will remain until Wilson
is again able to attend to business.
Frank Wilson is competent engi-
neer and all-round machinest, and for
a number of years followed that call
ing in Helena, where he is we'll
known. He worked for some time for
Weinstein & Co.. and afterwards was
employed in the Broadwater laundry.
He is a laundry expert of first-class
order and has given entire satisfaction
at Gilt Edge, where he placed in the
machinery at the Sawyer laundry in
a manner that showed he understands
his business thoroughly.
