REFUSE The RAISE
Twin City Switohmen Decline the
Wage Increase Offered They
Have Demanded More.
Grand Master Hawley Will Be Here
Tomorrow to Aid in the
deg. s2 80. 81 -, &1:
Negotiations.

If the managers of the various rail-
way companies having terminals In the
twin cities voluntarily offered a raise OF
III cents an hour to the switchmen with
the idea that it would satisfy them and
keep them from asking for a still greater
raise, they were mistaken. At any rate the
preferred raise has been declined and the
demand made that the wages be increased
cents an hour, The railway companies
will give their reply to the switchmen
next week. .-. 5
Several months ago the question Of ask
ing for an increase of wages was brought
up in the various switchmen's unions Of
the city and about two weeks ago q COM
mittee was appointed to draw up a new
schedule of wages. This committee re-
ported late In September that they would
ask the railways to Increase the wages 5
cents an hour, making the hourly sched-
ule 80, 80 and "a cents. The report was
adopted and the committee instructed to
wait upon, the various managers Of the
roads to submit to their demands. =
Just about the time that the demands
were to be submitted, the union was sur
prised to hear that the railway compan-
les had decided to give them raise Of IL
cents an hour. The proposition was taken
under consideration and at last it was re-
Jected.. The committee went ahead with
Its work and the original demands have
now been submitted to all the roads hay
ing terminals in the twin cities.
The various companies have the de-
mands under consideration and all will
announce their decision next week. A
conference will be held btween the switch
men and the general manager Of the North
ern Pacific Monday afternoon and It is
expected that that company will give it's
decision at that time. Grand Master F. T.
Hawley, Of the National Union Of Switch
men, VIII be In the city tomorrow to aid
the local unions. -. -.
-. The switchmen say that the schedule
under which they are now working has
not been revised since 1886. At the time
1t was adopted, the switchmen were hand
ing twenty eight to thirty-foot cars
wh1ch mad capacity of 10000 pounds
Now they are handling cars that are for
ty or forty-two feet long with a capacity
of 10000 to 100000 pounds
Leading members of the switchmen's
union of the twin cities express hope that
the matter will be adjusted peaceably.

GOOD NEWS TO BUTTE MINERS

Goodale Interviewed.

A resumption of operations on the

ties of the immediate future.
The news came to Butte In a round
about way from Great Falls this morn
Ing 1t was partially confirmed by
Charles w. Goodale, superintendent OF

with the Inter Mountain this afternoon
Mr.. Goodale made no reference to the
operations in the mines here. What he
said had to do with the company's
smelling plant at Great Falls only.
IF the repairs on the plant, which
have been In progress for some time
and the weather permit. we viii be
ready to start up about January IT,
said Mr.. Goodale.
1T has been announced In Great Falls
that when we resume we will employ

Mr.. Goodale. This Is an error. w,

ployed when the smclt-r was closed

While Mr.. Goodale made no direct ref.

ATTEMPT TO ROB CIGAR STORE
How an Enterprising Burglar, Plying
His TRACE, Was Surprised Wednes-
day Morning-Dan Cronin
in Custody.

The county jail keeps three tough
characters, In the estimation OF the po-
llce officials. who are suspected. of be-
Ing concerned In the attempt to rob the
cigar store Of Pickett 81 Nelson, at 4l9H
North Main street, on Wednesday
morning.
The names given by the men are
Thomas Howard Charles Murphy and
Frank Smith. Smiths real name Is Dan
Cronin. and he IL a boy about II or Is
years OF age. The names given by the
other two men are supposed to be as
sumed, also.
The Pickett & Nelson cigar store has
been the subject of several robberies and
attempted robberles In the past and so
Pickett has been keeping watch on the
premises at night for some time, with
the hope that the robbers would make
the place the target of another attack.
At an early hour on "Wednesday morn
ing his desires were gratified. He was
lying In wait in the store and he heard
a noise at a window In side wall OF the
store near the rear. The window Is
reached on the outside by means Of an
open space running from Main street
back west between the store and the
house next door,

Pickett rose from his ambuscadc and
sailed into the room There he saw q
man remove "A pane OF glass from the
window. The fellow attempted to enter
the room.
At that he drew his trusty revolver and
fred point blank at the man.
The man exclaimed, "Oh, Lord, am
shotw and backed out of the window,
and then ran away. He ran across
Main street, and there were other men
there, supposed by Pickett to be con-
federate OF his, and Pickett did not pur-
sue him.
For that reason, he and his accom-
pllces wore not arrested at the time.
Yesterday at about noon, however, the
three men named were Arrested at Con-
nors' saloon on Main street by Deputy
Sheriff Rowe and Policeman Steinburn

1t Is stated itat Cronn was seen to
run across Main street after Pickett
shot at the man in the window and talk
to the latter and the others there, ana
that led to the belief that he was posted
as a yidette to give warning to the man
at the window should an officer appear.

EDNARD'S NEW STAMP
BRITISH PosToFFICE DEPART
MENT HAS PLEASED PUBLIC.
NOT ENOUGH TO GO AROUND
Loyal Enthusiasts Swarm After the
Newly Issued Postage Stamp That
Contains the Likeness Of the
Popular Monarch.
(By Associated Press.)

London, jan 2.-There was an enthusl-
astic demand and ready supply but
King Edward coins were missing. Many
people got up early and went consid-
erably out OF their way to make pur-
cnases of the pretty new penny and half
penny stamps. quite a number of ardent
philatists waited until midnight on Tues
day at the general postoffice and began
asking for the new stamps, which were
on sale Immediately after IL O'Clock
struck for New Years day.
In the majority of cases the stamps
were promptly affixed to letters and post
cards, which were forthwith posted at
the nearest available letter box.
In many London branch postoffices
the scene early In the morning was a
busy one and quite unusual. Small,
ragged urehins went up to the counters
and asked for the new stamps. Well
dressed young men called for q shilling s
worth of penny stamps, but refused to
complete the transaction when old ones
were offered. Everybody demanded the
new edition. and frequently the supplies
were exhausted.
There is no doubt whatever from the
gossip heard at the postofiices that the
public is highly pleased with the new
King Edward stamps, especially the
renny red ones.
For some time past millions of stamps
have been stored away in storerooms at
Somerset house, and over them the
closest supervision has been exercised
by officers Of the inland revenue comniis-
sion.
