PRES. ROOSEVELT MAY ACT
Strike Threatens TO Interfere With Cow
ernment-- Billings Operators Quit.

Operators employed by the Western
Union in Billings and the Associated
Press operator at The Gazette Office
walked out last night at o'clock in
response to instructions received from
Secretary Beeler Of the union at Hell
ena, and this city was absolutely cut
off from telegraphic service with 9th
er places.
The Western Union employees had
been expecting the order since the
strike was inaugurated, and it did not
come as surprise to them, but the
instructions to the Associated Press
men to so out came as a surprise. In
formation that reached Billings last
night before the wire was closed
down was to the effect that the strike
Of the Associated Press men was for
the purpose of enforcing demands
which have been made on General
Manager Melville e. Stone, asking for
shorter work day. The operators
are said to have been contending for a
reduction of the number of hours
worked at night from IL to eight, as
they claimed the work was SO hard
they could not stand such a long
shift.

has already unearthed a mass of evi-
dence connecting all the men arrested
with the holdup. That another man
is implicated is a surprise to all con-
cerned.
Detective Goddard, who has been on
the case ever since the train was held
up, and who has been active during
the past few weeks, has left. Butte
for while, and is detailed to other
work, leaving matters in charge Of his
chief. Secret Service Officer KeoWn
of Bozeman is also said to have been
assigned to other work for the time
being, and has returned to eastern
Montana.
While those who are intimately con-
nected with the case are extremely
reticent, il Is believed that important
developments resulted from an inter
view held last night, and that Tower
virtually put his own neck in halter,
as well as implicated man who Is
yet to be arrested.

Butte, Aug. 12.--There is a report
prevalent that Tower. one of the
suspects connected with the robbery
Of the North Coast Limited at Welchs
spur on the morning Of May Z, has
made full confession, and that he
has virtually put his neck In the hal
ter. The report cannot be verified.
Officials at the police station who have
been closely connected with the case
ever since the first arrest, assert they
know nothing concerning the alleged
confession. "If it was made, 1t must
have been made after O'Clock" said
one Of these officers. IF he has not
confessed think it viii be only a
matter of a little while until he does,
as he seems to be on the verge OF
making clean breast OF the entire
s l
matter
According to the information which
has leaked through with reluctance,
Tower has admitted he knows the men
who held up the train, and that none
Of the other men now in custody had
other than a guilty knowledge, as far
as a conspiracy is concerned, In the
holdup. The other man has not been
apprehended, but it is limited that
Tower has made his identity known,
and II win be only matter Of 9 short
time until he is located and placed

One Of the features Of the strike to.
day was the statement made by Su-
perintendent Cook of the company.
He said that the Western Union would
not arbitrate the matter and declared
that it was getting operators as fast
as it wanted them. He said that to-
morrow he would issue a statement to
the operators notifying them to call
and get their pay. In that statement
he said the company would say it
had 42O operators working.

American Federation of Labor, arrived

cuses from the apologists of the
STANDARD, who have attempted to ere
ate the impression that the recent de-
cline in prices of American illuminat-
ing oil abroad was necessitated by an
oversupply Of that product. They
have also claimed that there has been
severe competition against the Amer
ican product from the oils of Russia
and other foreign countries, and that
the reductions in export and foreign
prices were necessary to retain the
American export trade. Neither Of
these arguments is well founded, says
Mr.. Smith.
Commenting further on the matter,
Mr.. Smith says:
Having monopoly at home, it has
charged such prices as it could there.
by extort, and the American consum-
er has had to pay these prices. Meet
ing competition abroad, it has given
the foreign consumer enormously low
prices, and it has used the profits
made at hometo maintain it's position
abroad, SO that the American con
sumer has been severely discriminat-
ed against for the purpose of main
tanning, not the dominance of Ameri-
can export trade, but the dominance
of particular combination which has
used it's power frequently and con-
spicuously to the disadvantage Of the
American republic"
Mr.. Smith deals with the price OF
oil in different parts Of the country
and says that remarkable system OF
discrimination exists. He says that
the price in any community is high
or low in comparison to the monopo-
1y the company has on the business in
that particular community.
He says that the Standard varied
the price in the country from to 10
cents gallon, that the Standards S
power is something against which the
independent dealer can not fight.
He says the Standard carries oil

Hot Springs, Ark, Aug. 12.--The
Fifty-third convention Of the Interna-
tional Typographical union was called
to order this morning in the spacious
dining room Of the Eastman hotel,
which has been temporarily converted
into convention hall. Addresses Of
welcome were made by the mayor Of
the city, the officers Of the local union
and others, and were responded to
by President James M. Lynch. The
reports of officers were then presented
to the convention. About $500 dele
gates and visitors are in attendance.
The report of President Lynch Is a
comprehensive document, and covers
the progress made by the Internation-
al Typographical union for the period
elapsing since the Colorado Springs
convention, and also outlines new poll
cies and touches upon those that have
become a part Of the work and history
of the organization. Among other
things an aggressive campaign for the
union label is recommended, and it is
quite likely that this subject will oc.
cupy considerable of the conventions
time. The campaign for an eight
hour dav, which has been vigorously
presicuted by the International Typo
graphical union for nearly two years,
is touched upon extensively, and it is
shown that this movement has been
attended with very large degree OF
success. about $4,000 members Of the
union now working not more than
eight hours per day.
In the presidents report the propo'
sition to pension the superannuated
and incapacitated members of the
union is given considerable space.
This feature, if adopted, will be a
new venture for the union, but 1t is
| looked on with much favor by the
4 delegates, and undoubtedly q proposi-
i tion embracing the pension feature
will be submitted to a membership
i vote OF the International Typographi
cal union.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The Stand
ard Oil company is again fayed in the
third Of the series of reports on the
petroleum industry by Herbert Knox
Smith, commissioner of corporations
to the public, which was made public
today This particular report deals
with the discrimination in prices in
the industry.
4 In the report Mr.. Smith declares
that it has been the policy of the
Standard Oil company to sacrifice the
interests of the American consumer
in securing the Standards foreign
trade, which is an important one. He
says that the American price stead
lily advanced from 1897 to 1902. He
says that the London price shows q
daily decline from 1901 to 1904. He
says that the Investigations have
shown that during the past five years
the price Of oil in America has stead
lily advanced, while the price in for
eign countries has gone down. More
than S. per cent of the oil produced in
this country was exported in 1904, ac-
cording to the report, and of that
amount the Standard Oil company ex-
ported 81 per cent. He compares the
margins Of price above cost of the
oil in all countries and it shows that
the average German margin was 1.66
cents, as compared with 463 in the
United States; the United Kingdom
margin was 1.64 cents, as against 4.S4
in the United States; and the other
countries mentioned-Belgium, Hol-
land, Denmark and the orient-shoW
similar enormous disparities. Even
after further subtracting / cent from
the American margins to allow for
difference in quality, they are still
from 1A to times as high as the
foreign margins.
These remarkable Determinations
in favor Of foreign markets at the ex-
pense of the American consumer, he
saws, have naturally called forth ex-
