EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MEN
OUT OF WORK IN MONTANA
Amagamated Company Shuts Down All nines and
SmeIters and an Industrial Crisis Is on i'm This
State--ResuIto of Decision by Judge Clancy.

Butte, Oct. 26.-All chance OF an
immediate settlement in the war be-
tween the big copper interests COM
posed of the Amalgamated Copper
company, on the one side and +. Aug
ustus HeinZe on the other, was dis
PEELED in a statement issued tonight
by President VIM. Scallon, the head
of the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany's interests in Montana. Mr.. Seal.
Ions statement followed a proposal
made by F. Augustus Heinze to a
mass meeting of $1,000 miners of
Butte, called this afternoon by Mr.
Heinze who stated that he would re-
ceive any proposition from the Min
ers' union looking to settlement of
the present trouble, and would in turn
state his proposition. The first para
graph of Mr.. Scallon's statement,
which is quite lengthy, is as follows:
The statement and offers of F.
Augustus Heinze looking to the set
tlement of all the present troubles
which he read and caused to be dis
tributed this afternoon at the conclu-
sion of his speech, and practically at
the time the meeting adjourned, has
been handed to me. These offers may
look innocent enough on their faces.
In reality they amount to refusal
TO settle the MacGinniss cases. They
are a turning down of the Miners un-
ion proposition, because the condi-
tions of Mr.. Heinze's offers are so un-
reasonable and exorbitant that they
are impossible of acceptance"
