MICHIGAN'S STAND
Her United Mine Workers Favor a
National Convention and
General Strike.
PUMP MEN CAN REMAIN ON DUTY
Provision to the Permission That Is
Likely to Start All Sorts
of Trouble.

Bay City. Mich, May 22-The
Michigan District United Mine Work
ers OF America has Joined with the
three striking anthracite districts of
Pennsylvania in a request to National
President Mitchell for a national con
vention of all the miners of the coun-
try to discuss a general strike of all
mine workers.
Consent with n String.
Wilkesbarre. Pa. May 22-The
three anthracite executive committees
of the United Mine Workers. at their
joint meeting yesterday, decided To
permit the engineers. firemen and
pumpmen To remain ut work. provided
the coal companies grant them an
eiEht-hour day Ut present wages. If
these demands are not granted by
June the men shall then suspend
work. Although the instructions issued
To the local unions do not specifically
say that the men shall cease work on
that date if the demand is not grant
ed, they are so construed 10y the COM
mittcemen. This action was taken aft
er two sessions had been held which
consumed the entire day.
Action Is Considered Conservative.
At present the engineers. iiremen
and pumpmcn work ten hours II day.
Some of the firemen work twelve The,
action of the committee is not as draS-
tic as WAS looked for. Under the in
struCtiOnS issued the protectors Of the
mines. if granted the concessions. can
remain at work no matter how long
the strike of the mine workers shall
last. Some of the radical committed
men wanted them called ont and kept
out until all the mine workers We're
satisfied. but the conservative element
was in the majority.
Peace Prospects Not Bright.
AS some of the coal companies have
declared that they will ill the places
of this class of employees ut any cost
if they are called ont on strike. the
prospect of Il continuance of the pres
ent peaceful conditions throughout the
rOaI region are not bright. No other
information was given out regarding
the proceedings of the meeting. Ii is
said that nothing was done In regard
to the matter of involving the bitum-
nous miners in the present struggle,
but the subject may come up today.

SCHOOL BOOKS.

Announcement is made that in
Helena, Butte and other places school
books have for several years been
sold at much higher figure than
the prices guaranteed by the firms
contracting to furnish the books, and
the state superintendent of schools
announces that he is about to bring
suit against the bondsmen on the
contracts to recover the sums over
paid, together with damages.
The firms might retaliate by ask
ing for the removal of the state su-
perintendent, togther with several of
the county superintendent, for neg
lect of duty in allowing the people to
be robbed without protest
The legal prices of all books are
furnished in a printed list sent to
all county superintendent, and d
part of their duty is to see that the
books are sold at the legal rate.
The margin of profit to the retailer
is very small, and it is not surpris-
ing that some of them have increased
the prices. 1t is said that the dealers
have been compelled to pay the pub
fishers more for books at wholesale
than is fixed by law as the retail
price. However this may be, Flat
head county has no complaint to
make. as the dealers here have uni
formly sold the books at the prices
fixed by law.

LOCALIZED ROBBERY.

With no little blowing of trumpets,
it was announced some time ago that
freight rates were to be materially
reduced on the Great Northern.
This announcement was made to
allay opposition to the big railroad
merger, and it no doubt was quite eff
fective. Now comes the publication
of the new tariff sheets, and the re-
suit is about what might have been
expected. Not one of the reductions
reach as far west as Montana, and
even in Minnesota and Dakota the
tariff on lumber, coal and wheat, the
principal tonnage. is not touched.
These three articles make UP 80
per cent of the tonnage hauled, and on

A MEASLEY REWARD.

Captain Clark, who sailed the Ore
gon around the Horn during the
Spanish war to take part in the bat
tie of Santiago and who has never
received any recognition of his gal
liant services, is at last to be re-
warded. At meeting of President
Roosevelt's cabinet it was decided to
allow the gallant captain the privi-
lege of witnessing the coronation of
King Edward, on which occasion he
will go as the representative of the
United States navy.
This action is about as measley as
the policy which deprived General
Miles of the privilege of representing
the army at the coronation because
of his attitude in the Schley contro-
versy. 1t would please the American
people if Captain Clark should refuse
to accept the doubtful honor.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
System Is of Great Value to the
World.

New York, Jan. 17.-Wireless tele-
graphy was given thorough test on
the voyage over of the Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse, which has just ar
rived. For the best part of the jour
ney the vessel was in communication
either with the shore or some other
vessel. The test was complete.
"It was the most complete test of
the Marconi system we have ever
had" said the captain of the vessel
today. Herr Kronkent, operator of
the Marconi system on the Kaiser
Wilhelm, was formerly the Marconi
expert on the Lucania and conse-
quently familiar with the latters in
struments. On December 16, off the
banks of Newfoundland, the Kaiser
ran into a heavy fog. Late on Mon
day night the Kaiser ran into clear
weather again, and Herr Kronkent
flashed to the Lucania this message:
1--WE are 25 miles east of the
banks and in clear weather. to which
the Lucania replied: We are still
in the fog so miles astern. Many
thanks
Communication between the two
vessels ceased ON Tuesday morning,
December II, when we were IS miles
apart, and practically half way across
the ocean, and after we had con-
versed nerly so hours"
When off the Lizard, the record of
Herr Kronkent shows that twelve
messages from the Lucania were
flashed and a reply stated that all
of them had been correctly caught
on shore. Of the Marconi successes
on the western trip Captain Hoge-
man said:
I'VE passed ,ae Kron Priz Will
helm, bound east, almost in mid
ocean, when the two vessels were IL
miles apart. Greetings were ex
changed between the passengers and
positions given. Off Nantucket light
ship shortly after midnight twelve

ceived. The Marconi system is val

HOME SEEKERS.

According to published accounts,
the coming spring is to see a. large
influx of settlers into the northwest
The railroads are offering special
rates to homeseekers, and a great
deal of advertising has been done
among the farmers of the east and
middle west. Great Falls and other
cities of the state are taking steps
to induce homeseekers to settle in
the vicinity of such cities, and kalis-
pell could spend some effort in this
direction to good advantage. No
other portion of Montana can offer
advantages to settlers equal to those
of the Flathead valley.
The Great Northern Railway COM
pany will give free distribution to
any literature descriptive of the
country, and little money spent in
this direction would be returned ten
fold
A pamphlet descriptive of the val
ley containing half-tone cuts of fruits,
farms and scenery would be mex
pensive and, if properly distributed
would bring hundreds of settlers to
the county. If such a pamphlet could
be given to the homeseekers upon the
| Great Northern. trains leaving St
| Paul, it would result in bringing
many of them to the valley.
Officers of the Kalispell board OF
trade have taken the matter up and
| they should have the cooperation and
assistance of every merchant and
property owner in the county.

perience, and his statement is well
worthy the sober consideration of
every citizen of the country. 1t is an
explanation of the aims and purposes
of the union, and is issued to alIay
any misapprehension on the part of
the public as to the purposes of the
union. There has been some opposi-
ton manifest in Kalispell toward the
union; but such organizations are
bound to come, and are an evidence
of the development of the country.
The policy of the union, as outlined
in the statement, is conservative and
sensible. With the large membership
already secured the union is sure to
exert considerable influence upon the
business of the county, and it is for
tunate that it is in the hands of level
headed men.
The chief drawback to labor unions
in the past has been the power of
irresponsible men to plunge them into
disputes and strikes without suffi-
cient provocation. Organized labor has
come to recognize this fact, with the
result that methods of Cancellation
and arbitration have taken the place
of strife and friction.
The interests of the employer and
employee are identical and while CO.
operation and good will between
them bring profit to both, friction and
discord mean loss to all.

the other 10 per cent an average, re-
duction Of IL per cent is said to have
been made, equal to IL per cent re-
duction on the whole tonnage, and
this only on small portion of the
line. Besides, this slight reduction
through changes in the classified
lions may prove to be an actual in
crease in charges; but the people of
Montana have become so accustomed
to legalized robbery that they are ex-
pected to stand it without protest.

TARIFFS REDUCED.
Great Northern and Northern PacS-
fic's New Rate.

ST. Paul, Jan. 17.-Tariff reductions
on the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific go into effect February L.
New rate sheets went to the printer
this morning. The reductions, which
vary from to Is per cent, affect
mainly ten classes" but the COM
modify rate on coal, lumber, flour aud
wheat remain the same. The reduc-
ton in wheat rates are postponed till
later in the year, and President Hill
believes reductions now would not
help the farmers, since most of the
wheat has left their hands.
The new tariffs were prepared by
Darius Miller, who acted in behalf
of both the Burlington and the Great
Northern.

There is one little girl in Wash
ington who recently gave her parents
an exhibition of her nature for which
they were totally unprepared. The
child was cross-eyed, and her af-
Fiction was source of extreme an
noyance TO herself and family. An
oculist was consulted, who advised
an operation TO remedy the defect,
and so it was decided to take the
little one to hospital in Baltimore.
The utmost secrecy was observed in
the matter Miss Annie had once
made great fuss about having a
tooth pulled, and, OF course. it was
to be expected that she would enter
serious objections to an operation
on her eyes.
She was taken to Baltimore under
the impression that she was going
on pleasure trip with her father
and mother. When they arrived ut
the hospital the mother took her
daughter in her lap and nervously
broached the real object of the trip.
Set forth in all its triple horror the
embarrassment which is the lot of
the cross-eyed person stating that
the trouble would increase as she
grew older.
Now, Annie, he said finally, I'VE
have brought you over here TO have
your eyes Strengthened. 1t won I
hurt you at all. Wouldn't you like
to have your eyeslike other people's?'
"You just bet / wouldl'' exclaim-
ed Annie, to the astonishment of the
others. "You can go ahead and do
anything you want, and don't care
how much it hurts. I'm just sick
and tired OF having apack of colored
boys spit into their hats and cross
their fingers every time they meet
me-"
The operation was performed
forthwith and the young lady has as
good a pair OF eyes as anybody in
