BUTTE WATCHMAN
FOUND MURDERED

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. "a coroner's
inquest and autopsy over the remains Of
Joseph Whitford, who was struck by
a street car, disclosed the fact that
Whitford had been killed and his body
placed upon the tracks in an effort to
cover up the crime.
Whitford was a special Waterman on
the Northern Pacific road and it is the
theory of the police that he was attack
ed and killed by either coal thieves or
tramps and his body placed on the
tracks to be struck by a car.
Whitford had been active in the pur-
suit of coal thieves and it is the theory
of the police that they assassinated
him. His head had been crushed in by
a blunt instrument.

Lutheran inter-synodical conference
has so far failed to reach an agreement
on the doctrine Of pre-destinat1on,
which has been the subject of contro-

INTERESTING CIGAR
MAKERS STATISTICS

A brief review Of the history of the
Cigar Makers International Union.
says the official journal Of that organ
1zat1on, will illustrate the splendid and
helpful effect Of substantial chain Of
benefits upon the stability of the men,
bership The period in the history Of
the Cigar Makers International Union,
when the constitution only provided for
strige benefits. we had:
1S69-5,80O members.

1S75-(Stagnation) 1904 members.
1S77-(Stagnation) 1,016 members.
1S79-(RevivaD 1850 members
From 1873 to 1879 the Cigar Makers
International Union could not pay the
strike benefits provided for in the con-
stitution, because it had no permanent
sinking fund; hence wages were reduce
ed to a starvation point.
1879 the convention, held in the city
OF Buffalo, N. Y, inaugurated a new
departure, by the adoption of a uni
form initiation fee and dues, and a
permanent scinking fund. 1t provided
for strike fund and the travelling
loaning system. Every dollar prom
ised has been paid in full till date.
In 1880. at the convention held in
the city Of Chicago, ILL.,, sick and death
benefits were embodied in the constitu-
ton, and the weekly dues raised &C.
cordingly.
The following shows the effects Of
benefits on the membership:
1880-387O memhers
1872, 400 members
1921, 43o members.
1oss-13,214 members.
1nn 1889. at the convention held in the
city'o New York, another benefit was
embodied In the constitution. It pro-
vided for an out of work benefit Of
three dollars weekly, for a limited time
and under certain conditions. The ef~
