 There is no necessity for dwelling CT the stock ms;ket side of Amalga- mateds history, that is written so that he who runs may read. but in looking at that side this other side which We present today-the tremen- dous interests controlled by the com pany- is ove looked anC given far less consideration than it deserves. The management of the Amalgamated IS accused of every crime under the sun by irresponsible critics, mainly because it maiIt3.ns a policy of ab- sOlute silence IS to ne affairs of the company both % stockholders and the public, and ye: -Ignt here in Boston there is a conce.1 whose management treats the stockholders and the public just as brusquely as do officers of the Amalgamated.
 The pubnc Rnuv ieuge of the affairs cf the Calumet X Hecla mine is limit ed as is its knowledge of Amalgamated affairs, and yet in the one case the honesty of the arrangement is not questioned, while IF the other there is a continual hue and cry bv the watch dogs of the stree-. The course of Calumet in the market has been no more creditabls ihan that of Amalga- mated. Amaig ,'uated shares at their lowest this week shows a shrinkage of almost $150. 'p0. 900 from the high est ever touchei. Calumet sold at $S95 share in 1899 and paid s100 share in dividends. Since then it has sold as low as sAo0 and it's dividends nave dropped Q s30 year. Consil- ering the compa a~ative size Of the prop ositions. has AraaIgamated made worse showing .aal calumet & Hecla. whose silent management can do nc wrong" in the eyes of their stockhcld- CTS?
 At the barbec1e given this Week |" its employees President Scallon said: The Amalgamated company is made up of approxim I'eiy 15,000 stockhold- CTS. It is our duty to protect them in their property, even with our lives il necessary.
 Now, If the .lIus gamated company l. declared an outlaw; if it IS forc st icto liquidation or into the hands ol a receiver. and the mines are C:h'"c down and a reorganization would h7- come necessary, it would all bo done ,a time and the present. stoct holders would have lost nothing save the in come on their ,aE .stment. but in the meantime there would be pretty dull times in Butte. All we ask is that We be given our righfs and we are glad to accord to every other man his rights
 The directors this week declare the regular divideni oi 1-2 of l per cent, thus setting at vest the unfounded I'll mors of a cut e. cessasion of such payments Free of litigation, Amal- gamated would soar to the level long since predicted fer it.
