EXTRA SESSION
DECEMBER |
Amalgamated Mines and Smelters
Started up again Wednesday
Morning.
REJOICING THROUGHOUT THE STATE

The glad news was passed through
the state Tuesday afternoon that the
entire works of the Amalgamated COM
Pany would resume operations We'd
nesday morning, which caused no lit
tie excitement and joy in every section
of the state, more especially in Helena,
Great Falls, Butte and Anaconda, the
cities most seriously affected by the
shutdown. The resumption of the
Amalgamated works will place some
thing like $4,000 men in a position to
support their families, who were won
dering, Monday, how they would be
able to pass the winter without feeling
the pangs of hunger and cold. They
will certainly have good cause for
thanksgiving, November Goth. The
opening Of the Amalgamated works
comes as result of q call, by Gov
}. K. Toole, for an extra session of the
legislature December 1st, the managers
OF the Amalgamated company stating
in letter to the governor that they
would resume work as soon as an ex-
ira session was called, regardless of
what conclusions were reached by that
body, being of the opinion that their
cause would not suffer at the hands of
the members of the legislature. The
call for a SacciO,, ~

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, A large percent of the resi-
dent taxpayers of the state, and many
representatives of organized labor and
others have, by petition and otherwise,
represented to me the deplorable condi-
tions existing in three of the populous
cities of the state, as we'll as in manv
other localities within our borders, con-
sequent upon the cessation of opera
tions of many large industries in this
state; and,
Whereas, They further represent the
desirability of general legislation by
which the bias and prejudice of dis
trict judges be made disqualification
of such judges to try any case that may
come before them, or either of them, as
we'll as Legislation making suitable
and efficient provision for the trial of
such case or cases in such event, and
also the desirability of general legis-
1.ltinY, cn,,farri,,o
court the power on appeal to review
the facts in equity cases; and
Whereas, l have reason to believe
that work will be forthwith resumed
in all the suspended operations afore-
said if an extraordinary session of the
Legislature is called to consider such
legislation;
Now therefore, I, J. X. Toole, COVER
nor of the State of Montana, disclaim-
ing any reflection upon the integrity of
the judiciary of this state, or any mem
Der thereof, but yielding solely to the
urgency of the hour and the formidable
requests presented to me by petition
and otherwise, do hereby and by vir-
tue of the power and authority in me
vested by the Constitution, convene the
Eighth Legislative Assembly in ex-
traordinary session, at Helena, Mon
tana, the capital of said State, at
twelve o'clock M, of December first,
A. d., 1908, for the purpose of consid-
ering the Legislation hereinbetore re-
ferred to, and taking such action there
on as it may deem wise or expedient.
In Witness Whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
OF the state of Montana to be affixed.
Done at Helena, the capital, this
tenth day of November, A. D. one
