Members of Workingmen's
Union Employed by Street
Car Go. Walk Out.
ENTIRE CAR SYSTEM MAY
BE TIED UP VERY SOON
City Is Without Gas, and the
Water Supply Depends Pure
ly Upon Chance.

BUTTE, Mont. March l6.-The
members of the Workingmen s union.
connected with the Butte Street Rail
way company quit work this morning
the management refusing n demand for
an increase of wages from SO to $3.50
per day. Manager Wharton. of the
Street Car company, says that, barring
accidents, the system may continue
three days, but no longer. If no agree
ment is reached before next Tuesday
morning the entire street car system of
Butte, Waltcrvllle, Ceuteryille and
East Butte will suspend indefinitely,
throwing 500 men out of work. The
motormen and conductors have a union,
but have not yet struck in sympathy,
but the workingmen control the barns,
and without them the ears cannot run.
Without gas, and with the water sup
ply depending upon chance, Butte con
fronts a most annoying period. The
gas men are still on strike. The work
ingmen In the employ of the water
company are out. and as soon as main
bursts the system must suspend.
1t is rumored that Mayor MacGinnis
has ordered Chief Sanger of the fire
department to repair broken mains, re
gardless of the attitude of the union,
since a suspension of the water works
would leave the city at the mercy of
fire,
Although nothing definite concerning
the miners and smeltermen can be
known until March %, when they vote
upon n sliding scale, 1T is generally be
levcd that these unions will prove rea-
sonable, The stationary engineers have
accepted the company proposition.
Considering the newspaper situation.
the threatened water famine and the
walllout of the workingmen, the general
labor situation appears TO be less acute,

Grant Hamilton. organizer for the
American Federation of Labor, who is
backed by the decent element of en-
ployers aud employees in God6eld, in
his efforts 10 rid workiugmen of l. ".
W. bondage, speaks as follows on the
local situation:
81 am placed in a peculiar position.
in so far that | am fighting an organi.
zation of my fellows, but this orgapi-
zation [ must say represents Il lawIess
element. and it does not stand for com
mon decency or anything else, If the
officers and leaders words arc to be
believed.
''It has been the method of the
American Federation of labor TO ad-
minister Justice wherever there has
been injustice We try to build up IT'S
cardinal principles by our efforts that
the interests of capital and labor are in
common and that the welfare Of the
one depends absolutely upon the well
fare of the other.
Seeking Only for Peace.
"We believe in contracts and in
meeting conditions in a peaccable way.
We do not believe in 'horsing' with
problems that need practical attention
and good common sense.
81 am u Western man and ] know
Western conditions. / know that
great majority of the members of the
Western Federation of Miners arc good
men. But the trouble is that leaders
have crept in who are fully bent on
fighting the employer, instead OF work
ing in harmony. What is the result?
1t means that as long as such leaders
are in there will be lighting and dis
cord, and there will never be anything
else. The rank and file of the Western
Federation of Miners desire to change.
but they are powerless. The leaders
are in control, and 1t is with them a
rule or ruin policy.
FThe question must be handled de-
liberately and with determination. We
are dealing with u desperate class of
men, who have nothing to lose, and
we must take no chances. I feel that
L know of their character, and that
there are none who are willing To meet
you face TO face, but are ever willing
to meet you when your back is turned.
Must Settle Question.
''The question must be settled now
and settled right, if you men ever want
permanent peace. If YOU settle this
affair in haphazard fashion you must
look for the same trouble inside of sixty
days. 1t is too bad, but wo must meet
the Issue squuely if we wish to win:
! hope there will be no bloodshcd. And
il so, there might be some whose lives
are not worth much in the mortal scale,
but there IS a possibility of others who
might suffer. This is not an enjoyable
matter, but we should be big and broad
minded and look upon the situation
without fear. | am pleased 10 know
that only about five per cent of the
people arc not in sympathy with us.
1t is their powerful influence that we
should guard against, 1t has even been
extended so far as to take IN the red

the miners and common laborers are
