Butte Strikes
PreSSmen Strike, Printers Locked Out,
Hello Girls Refuse to Respond,
Communication at StandStill

A seemingly unimportant move on the
part of the pressmen at Butte has pre-
cipitated an unlocked for crisis in the
printing situation. The pressmen de-
manded so cents day increase, where
upon the printing plants of the city
not only refused the demand, but en-
tered into a publishers association,
shut down all the papers of Butte and
Anaconda, and declared that they
would issue them no more until salts
factory arrangements could be made
not only with the pressmen, but with
the Typographical union also, issuing
the ultimatum that work would not be
resumed without a reduction of so
cents a day. This announcement came
as thunderbolt to the Typographical
union. The present scale was adopted
nine months ago, and there was no
intimation that it was not fully sat
isfactory to all parties concerned.
The daily papers in the publishers
combination are the Anaconda Stan
dard, the Amalgamated organ; The
Butte Miner, owned by Grand Chief
Briber, United States Senator Clark
Butte Evening News owned by Turn
coat Deceiver Heinze; the Intermoun-
tain, the republican plutocratic sheet.
All Of these papers have suspended
publication, and these two cities are
without daily press. The job offices
in Butte have entered into an agree
ment with the publishers and will not
print paper for the union to state
their side Of the situation.
Anaconda, the seat of the largest
smelters in the world, belonging to
the Amalgamated company, has only
one paper-absolute capitalist control
No other would be allowed to stay
there. II is the oldest daily in the
state, and this is the first time IL has
ever suspended publication. During
the Debs strike of 1894, when the rail-
roads were all tied up, the Standard
employed hand.car service, and sent
its papers throughout tho state on

Here are straws which show that
the old parties in Wisconsin are
frightened at the growth of Socialist
sentiment in the state, and are trying
to bid for votes against the Social.
Democratic party, Two years ago,
our Social Democratic members Of Leg.
islature introduced q bill TO allow
cities to own and operate public util-
tiles. It was voted down-but this
year a Republican has just introduced
the same bill in the State Senate. Two
years ago, the Social-Democrat in
troduced in the legislature n bill to
allow cities to establish municipal ice
plants. This also was voted down
but now a Stalwart Republican senator
introduces the self-same bill. Two years
ago our men introduced bill TO give
the cities of the state the right Of
recall of officials This again was
voted down-and now another Repub-
lican introduces joint resolution pro.
viding for q constitutional amendment
establishing the recall. This is what
our party can achieve as small minor
ity party. II is true that the recall
and municipal ownership are not Soc.
ialism, but as our party grows In
numbers and in strength, the old par
ties win be forced to pass more i'm.
portant measures, and especially better
labor laws.
Our social-democratic members OF the
legislature have not yet introduced
their most important bills. But In n
week or two we shall have something
interesting to report from Madison.

OPPOSE THE CONTRACT SYSTEM

The unions in Livingston are up in
arms against the contract system on
public workA The reason for this
Is owing to the fact that contractors
who have had contracts for doing
work for municipalities have been gull
ty Of working their employees while
engaged on city work more than eight
hours per day, which is in direct vio-
lation Of the law.
It has cost the unions Of the state
considerable money to fight the con-
tractors in the courts. and last sum
mer there were strikes in Billings
and Livingston caused by contractors
violating the law. The union men Of
Livingston have come to the eonclu-
aion that the best way to fight the
contractors IL for the city to do the
work directly on the day system.
Some time ago the Trades and La
Dor Council Of Livingston passed the
following resolutions;
Whereas, Contractors working on
public works in the state have vio-
lated the eight hour law, and forced
organized labor in different cities in
Montana to resort to the strike and
20 the courts to enforce said law and
whereas, we are not looking for
trouble, but working with all our
power to eliminate the cause Of
strikes and whereas, all advanced city
governments and municipalities that
have abolished contract work and es-
tablisbed the day system work have
made success Of same,
Therefore. be IL resolved by the
Trades and Labor Council Of Living
ston Montana, that II is to the best
interests Of tNe people OF this city
that future worh on concrete works
and construction Of the sewer be done
by the city direct. And be IL further
resolved that q copy Of these resolu-
tions be sent TO the Council OF the
City Of Livingston, and members OF
said council be requested to consider
and investigate same.
The matter was presented to the
souncil, but the mayor and old party
aldermen wanted to lay the matter
on the table. The socialist alderman,
c. O. Simpson, championed the cause
Of the unions and the matter is to be
taken under consideration by the city
council. ... .,r...
As the city Of Livingston is lay
ing a few miles Iof concrete side-
walks and 10 about TO build a $4,000
sewer the question will be watched
Montana news. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-191?, 1907-02-21

with interest throughout the state.
The contract system is favored by
all the grafters who fatten on any i'm
provements made by a community and
as that class of gentry support the
old pasties libdtlly it is doubtful
whether the old party aldermen will
support the measure demanded. One
thing was quite evident, that the old
party papers of Livingston scarcely
paid any attention to the matter. But
this is not to be wondered at after
the way they treated the violation Of
the eight hour law and supported the
contractors.
The unions are taking An advanced
position in demanding the abolition Of
the contract system, as contractors
some times bid too low on the job,
and, in order to come out even cut
and slash the wages of the men who do
the work,
For years organized labor all over
the world have tried to abolish the
contract system but little has been
accomplished as representatives and
friends of the contractors and contract
system have been elected to Office.
II is dollars to doughnuts that the
mayor and old party aldermen will
ignore the petitions of the Livingston
union men and IL anything is accom-
plished 1t will be through the efforts
of the lone socialist al herman.

CONSPIRATORS PERSECUTE ADAMS

Jesse ID. Selby, special correspondent
for the News is now in Wallace, Ida
no, reporting the Steve Adams trial.
He sends in the following notes:
The case of Adams on trial here is
but a part Of the Idaho conspiracy.
The last confession of Adams made
him useless to the prosecution, and
furthermore il acted to their disad-
vantage by disclosing their diabolical
tactics. When Adams made affidavit
that his confession Of completely in
the Steunenberg ease was obtained
by force the prosecution was of course
bound to release him. But in order
that he should not escape their clutch
es they charged him with the murder
Of Tyler in this county. The murder
was committed two years ago. One
man was arrested for the crime but
released soon after, and the case was
dropped until a few months ago when
Adams was arrested just as he was
about TO be released from the pen af-
ter his last confession. The facts
prove the whole thing to be a trumped
up charge, but another chapter in the
Idaho outrage This is especially con-
spicuous in view Of the fact that many
Of the witnesses for the defense are
from the very place where the mur-
der was committed. The actions of
the prosecution in this case throw a
great deal Of light on the real purpose
in view. Having failed TO select a
jury in the usual way the prosecution
moved that its selection should be put
into the hands Of the sheriff. The
former sheriff, Angus Sutherland, was
corporation tool, one Of the col
leagues Of Mcfarland, Hamley and
Gooding. He is known to be bitter
enemy 60 the Western Federation OF
Miners, and is generally credited with
having made the statement that he
would drive all the dynamiters out Of
Shoshone county meaning by that the
members of the Western Federation
Of Miners. As one Of the conspirators
Gooding was naturally very much In
terested in him. There is n law In
this state that forbids sheriff from
succeeding himself in office. II was
necessary to keep Sutherland in con-
troll Of the sheriff's office. Gooding 10

Bell Telephone Girls

Simultaneously with the printers
strike at Butte the telephone girls
went out, and the confusion in business
communication became worse con-
founded. The girls who were working
at S45 a month and all sorts Of hours,
demanded $50 and eight hours. The
company met their committee and pro-
eeeded TO arbitrate. Concessions were
made on both sides with the result
that the girls went back to work at
$50 a month and eight hours.

This has been a week Of strikes in
the northwest industrial world. Mon
day morning at 10 O'Clock the tel
ephone girls went out in Helena.
Their hours have been long and the
work particularly arduous and con
fning. There were girls that were
getting $l6 a month on half time. The
best paid received only $l.20 a day.
1t takes dollar a day to live in
Helena, and 20 cents must suffice for
clothes and laundry. The girls show
q good firm spirit are determined, and
when the superintendent tried to bull
doze them referred him to their presi-
dent, Miss Briscoe. No satisfaction
has yet been received from the COM
pany.
The demands are an increase in
wages Of $50 and $50 per month, and
two Sundays off in the month without
any reduction in pay.
The linemen Of the Helena Light
and Railway company have tried for
some time to reach an agreement with
the company but to no avail, and de-
sided to strike Monday for so cents
. day increase, and reduction of
hours from nine to eight. The street
men had their demands granted pre-
viously, but held a meeting at mid
night Sunday, concluded they had
nothing to lose but their chains, and
IL the linemen's grievance was not
settled that they would strike in sym
pathy. The superintendent refused to
treat with committee Of the union
and the strike was called at 10 clock
A. M. BY noon the carmen joined the
strike and the street ear system was
tied up tight and the strike was sue
sessfully launched. Two hours later
the superintendent sent for the strike
committee, conceded all the demands
of the union, and at p. M. the strike
was called of and the men resumed
work with n complete victory for the
union and the industrial plan of at
tack. Had the carmen not gone on

that Sutherland should be made depu-
ty and should in realty be in control
the present sheriff having only nom
inal authority. The defense defeated
this move, however, by proving case
of bias. Another instance worthy Of
note is that when Sutherland had
Adams in his custody he forced him
into an interview with Mcfarland in
the Jail, denying C. s. Darrow, his
counsel, admittance till afterwards.
1t is evident that a great deal of un-
derhanded work is being done. The
ease will undoubtedly throw great
deal of light on the diabolical methods
used by the Idaho eonspirators.
