COURTS TO BLAME
 SAY COPPER MEN
ATTORNEY FOR THE AMALGAM- ATED co. SAYS REPORTS SENT
 OUT HAVE PLACED THE COR PoRATIoN IN FALSE POSITION.

Butte, Mont, October 2s,--c. T. Keeley counsel for the Amalgamated Copper company today gave out the following statement:
 Our attention has been directed to the fact that private news bureaus and special correspondents have circulated many false and misleading statements regarding the cause of the shutdown of our property and the situation here One series of these dispatches allege that re- taliation on our part because of the Min nie Healey decision moved us to shut down, another alleges that the shutdown is a stock jobbing scheme. Both are er- roneous.
 .The shut down is the inevitable result of the actions of certain courts. which have an unbroken record for six and one- half years of deciding adversely every question concerning our interests in Mon- tana A decision was rendered on Thurs day, October g, whereby a previously is- sued restraining order prohibiting the transfer of the stock of the Boston and Montana company to the Amalgamated and prohibiting the payment of dividends on Boston and Montana stock was made an injunction. This decision declared our operation of the Boston and Montana illegal. Inasmuch as our ownership of the Anaconda and other properties is on precisely the same footing as our owner- ship of the Boston and Montana and sub ject to the same interpretation of law. 1t became impossible for us to longer op- crate in violation of what the district court has declared to be the law"

The trouble arose when Gen. eral Booth expressed his displeasure at what he termed the strong Americanism characterizing the methods here.
 General Booths efforts to bring the army here into closer touch with the Eng fish army resulted in his sending Colonel William Fade here as chief secretary.
