Shorter Day For Miners.

BUTTE, May 1.-The miners and
smeltermen employed by the Amalga-
mated Copper company in and around
Butte and in Anaconda and Great
Falls have cause to remember May l,
1906, as today the big copper company
and the North Butte company placed
them all on the eight-hour scale.
About 5000 miners are affected and
1000 or 5000 smeltermen in the big
Washoe plant at Anaconda and at the
Boston Il Montana smelter at Grea,
Falls.
While the miners have had an eight.
hour day for several years, they have
been lowered to work and raised or
their own time. 1t is different now
as the men go to work and return or
the company's time. The greatest re
suit is among the smeltermen and al,
working outside around the Boston 4
Montana smelter at Great Falls.

Kind Words For Mr.. Conrad.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
There is no citizen OF Montana who
has done more for the development Of
the state or who stands higher in the
esteem of its people than w. G.. Con.
rad, of Great Falls, banker and owner
Of big ranches, who is now in Wash
ington. Mr. Conrad went from Clarke
county, Va, to his present home
thirty.eight years ago, when it con-
tanned little save Indians. buff aIoes
and wolves. He has seen small ham.
lets grow into wealthy and populous
cities and a wild and semi savage
region develop into a powerful com
monwealth.
MIR. Conrad still retains a strong
affection for the Old Dominion, and
every summer he and his family spend
a part OF the season at their fine
country place in his native county.
A few years ago he came within a
very few votes of being elected United
States senator by a democratic legis'
la.ure, and it is said by those who are
we'll informed as to Montana politics
that If the democrats carry the state
this year he will be chosen as Senator
Clark's successor.

Will Prosecute Whitecappers.

DILLON, May l.-Ray Harris ar.
rived in Dillon yesterda y afternoon
from the Bannack neighborhood.
Harris is the young newspaper man
who was taken from his room in the
O'Neal hotel in Bannack last Friday
night, ducked in an irrigation ditch,
made to pull up stakes that had been
driven on placer mining claims which
were surveyed out and which took in
nearly all of Bannack, and then taken
to Il dredge boat and painted. He
shows that he received some very
rough treatment at the hands of the
B%annackites, q eye being blackened
and his limbs are bruised.
He absolutely refuses to talk Of the
matter or to give his version of the
trouble At the present time, but he has
swOrn out warrants for the arrest OF
seventeen citizens of Bannack, and
engaged Attorney Bob Robinson and
says he will prosecute all concerned.
He will o tell where he went after
being released by the mob, but a re.
port was brought into Dillon to the
effect that he walked from the dredge
boat to the road house of George
Gray, about six miles distant, dressed
only in night clothes and a coat OF
paint. He will not tell who aided him
because it will prejudice the people OF
Rannack against the man.
