OPERATIVES AND MILL AGENTS
As FAR APART As EVER.
DELAY MAY WORK FOR GOOD
8usinessmen's Committee Succeeded
in Securing Postponement In
Hope Of Averting Strike.

Lowell, Mass, March ga strike
Of 10000 common mill operatives In
seven Of the largest mill plants here,
has been averted for a week at least,
with a possibly reversion Of the strike
ordered within a few days. This
morning the Textile council delegates
offered to temporize with the mill
agents, following the Intervention OF
the Disbursements committee which
for nearly Ia hours had pleaded for
the avoidance Of a strike. During the
day the union men who numbered
only about 1000 Of {, 5000 pesons who
would be out Of work, II the strike
went into effect, were disposed to OBJ.
ject to the agreement entered into by
the delegates to the Disbursements
conference. They claimed that those
delegates had not been instructed to
negotiate postponement of the strike
and that their instructions had been to
demand a 10 per cent increase in
wages to 60 into effect Monday and
to get a favorable answer they
were to report back to the council that
1t might plan for the conflict. The
Textile council finally was called to-
gether and tonight after a long SEES
sion 1t voted to endorse the delegates
Tonight it does not appear that the
wage question Is any nearer solution
than when the council early in the
week made it's demand or when on
night the council voted to
order a strike. The mill agents have
said that they cannot raise wages and
from the beginning OF the conference
they have held to that view.

Bounty Question.
Miles City, March 2S-In common
probably with persons in other coun.
tiesfi there are business men in Miles
City who make a practice OF buying
up wolf and coyote hides from wolfers
and securing the bounty thereon. This
and other questions arising have caus.
ed the county clerks Office to request
IN opinion on the subject from the
county attorney, which opinion was
rendered today by that officer. 1t is
as follows: 4
ITO A. H. S%werdfger, County Clerk
of Custer County, Montana: / have
the honor to submit to you the follow
ing opinion concerning the bounty
law Of this state:
"First-You are authorized to issue
bounty certificates only for animals
which have been killed in Custer
county, which fact must appear by
affidavit Of the party who killed or
caused to be killed the animal from
which the hide was taken.
"Second-When the proper affidav-
its have been made, it is your duty to
make and deliver the bounty certif.
cate to the person entitled thereto,
provided the skin Of the aniaml or
animals is in the condition provided
by law, and, provided further, that
there are no evidences Of fraud. If
there is evidence of fraud, the issuing
Of the certificate should be deferred
until the proper investigation has
been made.
"Third-You have no right to issue
a bounty certificate merely upon the
affidavit Of one who did not kill or
cause to be killed the animals, but
who secured the hide or hides by pur-
chase or barter.
"The affidavit must be made by one
who knows of his W knowledge that
the animal or animals from which the
skin OF skins we're taken were killed
in Custer county, who did himself
kill them or caus them to be killed.
How can one who was not present at
the killing, or acquainted with the
and circumstances Of the killing,
know where they were killed? One
who does not know Of his own knowl-
edge where the animal was killed
should never swear To that fact For
he thus recklessly swears falsely
he commits perjury, which is a peni-
Tertiary o~ffense, and no good citizen
will wish to take that chance. To ac-
cept the affidavit of one who does not
know where the animal was killed
opens the door for fraudulent demands

Mans Delicate Frame

Narrower than the web OF a famished
spider is the thread that separates life
from death says a Turkish proverb.
The hold each human being has on life
is so slim that the least accident to the
mechanical gearing viii bring the entire
machinery to a sudden stop.
When a man swings his head from side
TO side he doesn't stop to reflect that only
a small ligament keeps the weight Of the
head from killing HIM The human head
swings on a sort OF joint, and Immediately
& in front Of the peg OF this Joint is the
channel In the spine through which the
S spinal cord passes TO the brain. II IL
were not for the small restraining, Nga-
ment referred to the head would fan for
ward and crush the spinal cord and end
life.
The pores. that vast network OF tiny
tubes beneath the skin, are so constructed
that they allow nothing TO pass out OF
their walls except substances hurtfuI or
superhuous. Close these tubes, and what
happens? At a religious festival in France
a child was gilded all over 10 represent a
golden image OF the Saviour. The tiny
l tubes beneath the child's skin were
elogged by the gold dust, Precipitation was
checked and the child died IN a few hours
poisoned by the impurities in its own
blood
The fluid Of which the blood is com
} posed would enter the envelopes OF the
minute corpusclss we're they constructed
( to permit the entrance OF liquids as well
3 as gases. and IN less than minute every
l human being would die-the vital fame
being extinguished as water extinguishes
( FIRE But only gases can enter these tiny
s little bodies. which enables them to take
up the oxygen in the air as it goes into
S the lungs and convey it 10 AL parts Of the
body.
