be within the province of this comm 'ttee
to find some fortunate solution to the
question which will hasten an amicable
settlement that will permit the reopen
ing of the mines and smelters.
This shutdown means so much to the
people of the state that all parties in
volved should be willing to consider the
interests of the public, and with this in
view ! hold myself in readiness to assist
in relieving the existing difficulty
AT this time ii IS quite impossible to
determine just how or what the commit
tee will decide in the matter. but l feel
be considered and the committee will do
all in it's power to hasten a settlement
looking to the protection of the proper
ties of those involved. and to the re-
sumption of work in the mines and
smelters and the relief of the thousands
of men, women and children affected Ivy
the shutdown"
A slight stir was occasioned today by
the appearance on the streets of the Re-
veille, a newspaper. with a reproduction
of a dispatch alleged to have been printed
in a San Francisco newspaper. In large
type the alleged San Francisco item told
of gigantic stock conspiracy" in
which $75000,0O0 had been cleaned up by
the Rockefeller group" in alleged ma
nipulation of Amalgamated stocks as a
result of the suspension in Montana.
I A rumor today, which, however, could
not be verified, was to the effect that
efforts were being made to have the
Miners union call out the miners en-
ployed by the HeinZe interests as a means
of Fastening a settlement of the issues
at stake. This report was strenuously
denied by Miners union officials. who de-
clared the subject had not even been
thought of.
According to resolutions passed and now
in the hands of the Miners union com
mittee at Helena, appealing to Governor
Toole for an extra session of the legis-
lature, it is contemplated by the Miners
union to have passed such laws at the
special session of the legislature as will
in its opinion make the bill of rights CT
Montana operative.
Miners Leaving Butte.

this city today with 1856 miners aboard
The scene resembled that during the
CoXey movement. From every conceiv-
able opening husky miner could be
seen. The men boarded the cars at Silver
Bow Junction. They were orderly, but
expressed their determination to make
their way out of Montana. No attempt
was made by the trainmen to modest the
men and the freight pulled out of the
depot with the men waving their hats TO
the spectators. The men are bound Tor
the British Columbia mines.
