LABOR TROUBLE IN BUTTE,
Printers and Telephone Employees Go
Out On Strike.

oCAAE, CcO. 44.-1Qe &Co8toet COu'
certed strike in the history of the city,
affecting number of industries and
completely closing the newspapers OF
Butte and Anaconda, began yester-
day, when the pressmen of the news.
papers and job offices went out on
demand for an advance in wages; and
the telephone girls in the employ of
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company went out for more pay.
Today the linemen employed in tele.
phone and telegraph work went out,
whether in connection with the tele-
phone girls or because their own de-
mands for higher pay are pending,
cannot be learned at this hour.
The pressmen's strike originated in
q fat demand for an advance of 81 per
day for newspaper men and 50 cents
per day for jobroom men. The scale
is already the highest in the United
States with the exception of two Me-
vada towns. The Butte newspapers
concluded they could not pay the in.
crease and the pressmen walked out.
Butte and Anaconda newspapers
have ceased publication, apparently
for the next 30 or 60 days at least, and
grim struggle 10 now on between the
Butte Miner, the Butte Evening News,
the Butte Inter Mountain and the An
aconda Standard, on the one side, and
the allied printing crafts on the other.
In statement addressed to the
Pressmen's Stereotypers' and Typo.
graphical union this evening, the al
lied printing crafts were notified that,
following settlement OF the press
mems strike, they could not return to
work except under the old scale of
May 6, 1906, which means a cutting
down of so cents per day for each
man.
Bent on preventing delegation of
fair strikebreakers from taking the
places of the "hello" girls of Butte.
who yesterday went on q strike, a
crowd of 200 union men and sympha-
thizers gathered at the depot of the
Oregon Short Line railroad this af-
ternoon at 5 o'clock. The expected
demonstr alton against the young
ladies failed to mater!alize. however,
az D. S. Murray, assistant supecin'
tendent Of the Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone company, arrived from
Salt Lake alone.
Manager Armstrong this evening
stated that his company had offered
to increase the wages of all girls from
S. to 81 per month, the girls working
the customary nine hours, with the re.
lief needed, but this offer was ignored
and its reply was walkout of the
girls. The demand offs the girls call
for on increase from $40 to s15. &C.
cording to Mr.. Armstrong.
Under the scale offered by the COM
pany, the girls would receive from $57
to s65 per month, the latter wage being
that for chief operators, scaling down
to S57, for the local board opera ators.
Mr.. Murray, in an interview this
evening, expressed the opinion that
his company had been unfairly treated
by the unions, as their proposal to
compromise on the wages dem anded
had been ignored by the Central La.
Dor council, and from the sentiment
shown, it seems not unlikely that
Butte will be long without the tinkle
of the call bell of the 'hello" instru.

Intends To Reform,

RAwL1Ns. Wyo., Feb. l7.-Robert
Lee. member of the famous Curry
gang of train robbers, was released
from the state prison here today, after
ating q 10 years. sentence for
being implicated in the Wilcox train
robbery on the Union Pacific in 1899.
Lee in the future intends to lead an
honest life, and it is understood has
already signed contract to become q
member of a show.
One OF the features of the show will
be realistic reproduction of train
robbery. A regular train will be run
through the arena of the show. This
will be held up by outlaws and the
pursuit and capture of the robbers
will be depicted.
Lee was member of the gang
headed by Harvey Logan, alias Cur.
ry, undoubtedly the worst and most
desperate man alive today. He was
captured in the south, but escaped
from the Knoxville, Tenn, Jail. An.
other OF the gang Lonnie Logan, was
shot and killed at the home of the
mother Of Bob Lee at Kansas City
while resisting arrest for the Wilcox
robbery.
Lee was captured in 1900 at Cripple
Creek, Colo. He could not be con.
victed ct active participation in the
robbery, but was undoubtedly mem.
ber OF the gang, and was given ten
years sentence for cashing in a bank
at Dillon, Mont. two of the large
number of unsigned bank bills which
formed part Of the loot of the gang.

Until almost modern times the
ceremony OF washing the beggars'

years old. James T. and his success

Brooklyn. n. Y.-If 1t had not been
for the Keen o.factorles Of a little
waif Of a dog that happened to be
hanging around the Office Of the SER
geant Of the guard at the east gate
Of the Brooklyn navy yard, the chief
cook Of the marine barracks might
have gotten away with a six pound
ration Of beef without being detect
ed.
Private John j. Larkin, chief cook
OF the barracks, shouldered a neavi-
~ laden gunnysack and started for
the east gate. At the gate ne was
stopped by Sergeant Henry Kroen-
ing of the guard. The latter asked
the chief cook what was in the sack.
The cook confidently replied: 80,
only few old empty beer bottles"
But he did not figure on a stray
dog being on guard a'so. The dog
was hungry. One could see that, and
life had no charms for him until the
cook appeared. Then he jumped and
capered and rubbed himself on the
legs of the cook, until his actions at
tracied the attention of the sergeant.
Surely a dog Would not cut up such
crazy antics over few old empty
beer bottles, thought the sergeant
and he said you'll have to snow
mel"
There were beer tottles in the
sack. sure enough; also tins of toma-
r, IS succotash, and peas. The dog
fed at these. but kept his nose
I to the gunnybag until the SER
ge~ht took out a six pound ration Of
fresh beef. When the cook saw that
ne broke away from the guards who
had held him; but the dog seized up
on the beef.
It took five men to take Larbin to
the grardnouss. He bit the sergeant
of the guard in the face with his fist,
and the sergeant of the guard struck
back WITH his bayonet.
Larkin is confined, awaiting trial
by general court martial for theft
and using threatening language to-
ward and resisting and assaulting the
sergeant of the guard while the lat
ter was in the performance of his du-
ties. It is said the dog will be en-
listed in the corps.

whales and blackfsh or porpoise are more

Our little girl, one year and a half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor called it. We took her
to three doctors, but this time she was
nothing but a yellow, greenish sore.
One morning we discovered a little yell
low pimple on one of her eyes. Doctor
No. said that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was an
ulcer. So we went to Oswego to Doctor
No. 4, and he said the eyesight was
gone. We were nearly discouraged, but
I thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so purchased a set of Cuti-
cura Remedies which cost me 81, and
in three days of daughter, who had
been sick about eight months, showed
great improvement, and in one week all
sores had disappeared. OF course it
could not restore the eyesight, but if
we had used Cuticura in time l am con-
fident that it would have saved the eye.

CARTER co. VICTORIOUS.
u. S. Court Says 1t Is Exclusively
Entitled to Red Package for Pills.

Entitled to Red Package for Pills.
The Carter Medicine Co., of New
York, states that it's exclusive right as
owner of Little Liver Pills to the red
package has just been again confirmed
by two important DEGREES of the United
States Circuit Court sitting at Trenton,
N. J. 1t says: 1.-THE suit of the Carter
Medicine Co., in that court, for an in
junction restraining a Camden IN. J.)
pill manufacturer from using a red
colored package for his preparation is
decided in favor of the Carter Co. A
similar result occurs in suit to enjoin
a retail druggist from selling pills in
red packages. Both actions were con-
tested
1.-The court decides that the Carter
Medicine Co. has for many years had
the sole and exclusive right to the use
Of red-colored wrappers and labels
upon small round packages Of liver
pills, and says that the right was ac-
CURED by the adoption of that color
more than thirty years ago, and by it's
continuous use ever since. The de-
PENDANT in each case is permanently en-
joined from manufacturing or putting
up any liver pills in such red colored
packages, and also from selling any
pills in red packages, except the genu-
inc Carriers.
1.-THE DEGREES direct the defendants,
among other things, to deliver up to
the Carter Co., for destruction, all in
fringing wrappers, packages, bottles,
etc. The defendants are required to
account to the complainant, and to pay
the damages found due, as we'll as to
the costs of the action"
While the Carter Medicine Com
pany's sole right to the red package
has been upheld by many previous adj
publications, these decisions are consid-
cred of especial Importance, in view Of
the high character and standing of the
court which pronounced them.
