SAMPLERS AT EAST
HELENA WIN THEIR
STRIKE
Are Granted the Eight Hour Day
With the Same Pay as for
Ten Hours.

The samplers have won out in their
demands on the company in the smelt-
er at East Helena. They have been
given eight hours at s2 instead of ten,
which they had before. The Helena
dailies, as was to be expected, are not
stating the matter correctly. The men
did not go back to work until their
demands were acceded TO. Ex-Gover-
nor Hauser went out TO East Helena,
and tried to make the men think he
owned the whole works. Governor
Toole went out and spread himself
around the place also. II is safe to
say that neither one of them would
have been allowed TO say word to
the men If the company had not been
completely satisfied with what they
would say. II is a pretty state Of af-
fairs when the managers Of a com
pany have to send back to New York
to find out whether they can obey the
state law or not
What a farce is this so-called gov.
ernment by the people! Toole and the
whole state house gang wait for or
ders from New York.
Workingmen, will you fling away
your votes in this stupid style' The
socialists, at least, do not have the
blood on their hands to show that they
are partners in the crime.
The fremen are still working twelve
hours a day. Think of that, you slaves
of the furnacel If the smeltermen Of
East Helena were organized solidly
they could stop such brutal exploita-
tion. Organize, organize, organize, and
them vote the way you organize. Some
time you II see it. There is no other
way.

JUDICIAL MURDER AT

The so-called civilization Of Mon

DEPUTIES SHOOT DOWN
STRIKERS

The deputies are shooting the strik-
ers at Pueblo, Colo. The latest con-
temptible method of lowering the
wages Of the smeltermen is to reduce
the time to eight hours, and then re-
duce the wages to correspond with the
time. The poor wreches live near the
margin Of existence on what they re-
ceive now. A reduction Of one-ffth
the means Of life is calamitous for
them. But so large are the masses Of
the unemployed now, that the capital
lists can dole out a pittance Of work
and wages TO immense numbers. They
are thus fresher, and consequently more
productive than IL they were working
ten OF twelve hours n day.
Since tho Amalgamated company has
adopted this plan Of lowering wages
in Colorado, this Is probably what is
meant by the much-heralded "be-
nevolence" Of establishing eight hours
n day In the smelters Of Montana. Rog-
ers made his bonst In 1908 that he
