LABOR STRUGGLE
PROMISED AT BUTTE
Hotel and Restaurant Walters May Be
Replaced by Girls.

Special to The Globe.
BUTTE, Mont, June 22.-This city,
the strongest union town in the world,
is face to face with a crisis. The clash
will come July I, when the walters of
the city, several hundred in number,
will make a demand on all the hotel
and restaurant proprietors for a reduc-
ton in the number Of hours to eight,
with the same weekly wages as at
present, $3.50. Many Of the restau-
rant and hotel men will, they say, put
girls in the places of the male walters.
If this is done it is believed one of the
greatest labor struggles ever inaugu-
rated in the West will be begun.
Butte has more labor unions in pro-
portion to it's size than any city in the
world, and the members of each union
will stand by the walters. Thousands
of workmen may be made idle. En-
ployers are anxious to reduce the wage
schedule here, and it is believed the
coming contest will give them an OPP
pOrtunity to stand by the restaurant
and the hotel men and come out fiat
footed for lower standard.
Dozens of young women, mattresses,
are already coming to Butte, in antici-
patton of the coming struggle, and are
being cared for, it is said, by the res
taurant men.

HAS TO SETTLE WITH

Clark Iron Company Parts With
100000 to Rectify an
Error.

Special to The Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, June 22.-After
nursing the belief for many years that
1t held undisputed title to Minnesota
mining property worth many millions,
the Clark Iron company has just made
a settlement with the heirs to the es-
tate of former owner, by paying over
100000.
John M. Rogers originally owned the
fee to the land on the Mesaba range
on which the Clark and Leonard mines
are located. He allowed 1t to be sold
for taxes and was bought by the iron
company. An agent hunted up John
M. Rogers and purchased a quit claim
deed from him. 1t developed that he
was the wrong owner and the company
has been forced to settle with the heirs
of the former and rightful owner, who
lived in the East.

The only physician in the town was
one of the first to be stricken and he

Superstition on the part sof the peo-

1t was evident that the warden did
not wish to slaughter the mob in the

the fire hose be turned on the crowd.
This also held the mob for a time, but
not for long. The general rush was

There were many negroes confined

him. Then the march to the place Of
execution was taken up.
1t then became evident that a plan
of execution had previously been ar
ranged, but who the planners were is
not known. With torches to show the
way, the negro was led to the road

assault took place. White was given
last chance to speak, and he con-

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June a.
It is said that among the matters
which Fourth Postmaster General
Bristow is investigating is the pur-
chase from a California company, the
Postal Device and Improvement COM
pany, of 1900 devices for indicat-
ing the hours of collection of mail.
The invention is that of the postmaster
at San Francisco it is said.
1t is also said that 1000 of these de-
vices originally were ordered at a cost
of 81 or more each, OF a profit of 100
per cent on the cost, and the allega-
ton is made that a further order for
10000 was placed Notwithstanding the
original 1000 devices were not used,
but were repOsing in a storehouse.
The company controlling the device
was largely made up of California
postal employees.
1t is asserted that ex-RepresentatiVe
Loud, of California, formerly chairman
of the house postoffice committee, took
an active part in their behalf and wrote
letters urging the device upon the de-
partment. In one of the letters he said
it would be an accommodation to him

After the company had difficulty in
securing its money for the device, Mr..
Loud appeared at the department in its
behalf, but specifically disclaimed any
interest in the company other than that
1t was composed of his constituents.
He took the ground that whatever the
necessity, or lack of necessity, for the
device, constituents of his had secured
the contract and furnished the articles
called for. Therefore he believed they
should be paid as the government had
stipulated to pay them.
The allegation was made that $45,-

Machen is charged is due to purchas-
es of the device in question, but at
