More Labor Trouble In Butte.

BUTTE, March blast night the
men who were working at the Butte gas
works were called out by the unions
and the city is without gas, and there
is no prospect of any in the neal future,
for the company's representatives say
they will not grant the scale demanded
by the workingmen until it is general
~ recognized by other corporations,
and the worklngmen say that they
have understandings by which the
other corporations are to work under
the present scale, but date the new scale
back to February %.
Sixteen hundred gas ranges are put
out OF commission by the closing of
the works, and 10 the neighborhood of
1000 families are without means of
cooking At home and many a family
went without light last night other
than the glow Of a candle, and will
have to do the same tonight, aud prob
ably for many a night to come. The
three printing shops in the city that
have done all the city's printing bust
ness since the newspaper close down,
are out of commission, SO far as setting
type with their machines is concerned,
and gas engines and heaters out of
commission have practically closed
many industries, such as bottling
works and similar manufactures.
One of the worst features from the
point of view of the public is the clos.
ing down Of many of the small res
%taurants. where a large number of
workingmen and others eat. The Sue
cess cafe on Broadway, and a number,
perhaps ten in all, OF the restaurants
on South Main and East Park, are
practically out OF commission this
morning. as they depend on gas for
their heat.
