BUTTE DECISION IN THE
MONTANA MINING CASE
REVERSED At HELENA
Supreme Court Holds that Monop-
olies Can Be Prosecuted Only
by the State.
VICTORY FOR CLARKE
And Defeat for John MacGinniss,
Who Represented Augustus
+. Heinze.

BUTTE, Feb. 1.-The Montana Supreme
Court to-day reversed the decision of Judge
Clancy. in Butte, in the injunction suit of
John MacGinniss against the Boston and
Montana Company. This is the suit which
caused the shutdown of all the Amalga-
mated properties in Montana LAST summer,
and which was then decided in favor of a.
7. Heinze
The case involved the injunction issued
by District Judge Clancy against the Anal
gamated Copper Company's holding and
voting stock in Montana companies. The
decision is very voluminous and far reach
ing. The substance is that MacGinniss is
a private individual and has no right to
maintain an action against the Amalga-
mated Company doing business in Montana,
or on the point as TO whether it is a mo-
nopoly; such action is only maintainable
by the State; that under the evidence in
the record the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany is neither a trust nor a monopoly;
that under the laws of Montana one cor
poration may hold as completely as an tndl-
vidual stock in other such corporations,
policy. House Bill 132 is incidentally dis
cussed and it's cOnstitutionality upheld. The
case is remanded for further proceedings
INCONSISTENT with the supreme court ;
views.
House Bill 132 was passed in 1899 and
vetoed by Governor Smith on the ground
that il was a corporation measure. 1t was
then passed over the Governors veto. The
law gives corporations the right to acquire
stock i'm other companies and TO vote 1t.
The decision will release the Boston and
Montana dividends provided the Supreme
Court does not grant rehearing. Remittl-
tur of the Supreme Court will not be hand
ed down for fifteen days. In the meantime
counsel for MacGinniss, ii Is expected, VIII
ask for a rehearing. If the motion is de-
MED the dividends of the Boston and Mon
tana become available.

as the annual demands of the operators for
reductions.
SITUATION LOOKS DARK.
On their side the miners are free to admit
that the situation looks dark and that af-
fairs are in a worse condition than they
have been in years. One of the miners,
who is on the scale committee. said last
night that if the operators continue their
present attitude there will be strike in
the competitive district. ''The miners will
not agree to a reduction" he said. II
think the least they will accept is the pres
ent wage scale. The operators have not
given us yet sufficient reason 10 justify a
reduction. From the present outlook il
does not seem probable that an agreement
Ohio and Pennsylvania companies closing
down for several weeks to get rid of their
product on the market is all bluff. The
four States are competitive, and If the COM
panies in one State close their mines the
companies in the remaining States Will
have to follow. At preesnt We have locked
horns on the issue, and unless both sides
bend TO compromise or some Kind L DO
not see how an agreement can be reached" !"
1t is expected that by tomorrow even
ing at the latest 1t will be known whether
an agreement will be reached. Should 1t
happen that the scale cannot be adjusted
and the miners and operators return to
their homes with no agreement with each
