tons with the street car company and
the Workingmen union are broken
and the fifteen workingmen are out
with the repair men, who belong to an
allied union. Manager Wharton OF the
company says there are cars enough
IN the barn to keep the system run
ming about three days. Ore tram,
ming cars will run about the sam,
time, and then the Original and
Steward mines an Butte reduction
works must close.
Ii storm comes up with snow or
rain, the street car service will be
stopped Immediately, as there are no
men to clean the switches and tracks.
The condition is made worse by the
fact that no workers are cleaning the
city streets for the street department,
and the dirt is deep on the thorough
fares. AT any rate, cars in the barn
i'll repair will last about three days
and then the service will be discon-
tinued.
Manager Wharton offered last night
to pay the scale from March lst, if
the scale was generally accepted, but
the union voted the proposition down;
also the proposition to take 40 cents
on hour with the company's privilege
to work the men nine hours
Butte is now without gas, there is a
chance that water mains will break
and leave districts without water, and
the whole town is enveloped with
clouds of driving dust from the un-
cleaned streets that makes it a hard
ship to go out of doors
The only cheerful thing in the sit
uation is the fact that the teamsters
are now satisfied with their settle.

stated that all teamsters are now get

Senator Rae Returns.

Senator Henry NJ Rae arrived in
the city last week and left the latter
part for Kendall to look over the
workings on the Santiago. Henry
says that we got him tangled up with
another man by the name of Rae in
reporting him i'll and in hospital
The other fellow died but Henry is
very much alive. He says that the
Santiago is all that the press reports
claim for it and more He believes
that Kendall is on the eve of a great
growth which will be based on recent
ly developed ore bodies and others
which will undoubtedly be encounter
ed by the big companies now oper
ating in the district. In his opinion,
the past glories of the North Mecca
sin camp will shrink into insignifi-
canoe when compared to the future
greatness which is awaiting her.

and pleased shoppers. Some idea OF
the number of ladies who visited the
dry goods and millinery emporium
during the day may be CLEANED from
the fact that over one thousand beau

Under the direction of Miss Hosch.
manager OF the millinery department.,
that portion OF the store had been
transformed into veritable bower of
lovliness, where all things so delight

OPERATORS ASK
FOR MORE PAY
Bell Telephone Girls Walk Out Up-
on Refusal of Company to Grant
Higher Wages.
MUTUAL HAS NO TROUBLE
Independent Telephone Company
Voluntarily Granted Raise About
Three Months Ago.

Acting III concert with the opcr-
ators of several other Montana cities
the girls employed at the switcl,
boards OF the Rocky Mountain Bel
Telephone company, last Thursday
morning at IL O'Clock hung up thcil
receivers, put on their wraps ane
walked out OF the Office.
1t was thought that the difficulty
would be speedily adjusted but up tc
the time of going to press the com.
pany and operators are apparently as
tar from an agreement as when the
strike occurred Advices from Helena
and Great Falls are that it is the in
tertlon OF the company to stand pat
on their refusal to accedc to the de
mands OF the operators.
The trouble was precipitated BY the
refusal on the part OF the company
to grant higher scale of wages.
Hitherto the head operator has re-
ceived $50 per month and the other
SiiS pDo PNi iHoiittl. TIC gins uc-
mand 500 per month for the head
operator and $50 per month for other
operators.
There was no trouble with the
Mutual Telephone company, as the
wages OF operators in the employ Of
the Lewistown Billings Mutual Tele-
phone company were voluntarily
raised by Manager Stone several
months ago.
The operators for the Mutual com
pany are receiving the following
wages: Head operator, 500; other
regular operators, $50 per month In
addition, the Mutual employs two
extras for Sunday work, thereby re-
lieVing the regular operators from
work on that day.
A large majority OF people i'll this
city and practically all in Kendall i'm
mediately manifested their sympathy
with the demands Of the operators
by taking down their Bell receivers
and many have notified the manage
ment that the service will not be
resumed until satisfactory agree
ment is reached with the operators
The local operators have become af-
fllated with the Lewistown Labor
Union and are backed up in their de
mands not only by that very strong
organization but also by the business
men of the city.

Dear Sir: 1t gives me much pleas
ure to testify to your treatment and
most especially to your system of deep
breathing, as you teach it it is simple
and really quite wonderful. Such has
been my experience. I gained nine
pounds in remarkably short time
after having continuously lost flesh
for ten years. There is no question,
in my mind, as to the efficacy of your
system of deep breathing, if the pa
tient will conscientiously make up his
mind to stick to it. 1t will certainly
bring good results. [ have been more
benefited by your treatment than all
the medicines I have ever taken.
