SLIDING SCALE
NOW PROPOSED
Montana Miners and SmeIter.
men Disposed to Avoid
Going on Strike.
Special TO The Herald.D

Butte, Mont, Feb. 2S.-While there is
no outward evidence of any change in
the labor situation tonight, there is an
undercurrent which portends an early
settlement of all differences which may
exist between the mine and smelter en-
ployes and the mine mana gements. 1t
has been impossible to learn anything
definite of the result of the conference
between the committees from the Mill
anu SmelteTmen's union, the Engineers
union and the Butte Miners union. but
it is secretly reported that much pro-
gress has been made toward adjust
ment. From a very good source ii is
learned that the smelter men and min
ers will accede to a sliding scale, which
viii fix the wages of mine and smelter
employees at a figure commensurate
with the skill required. In any event,
however. the lowest days wage will be
So IS. There is positively no fear of
close-dOwn of the mines or Of a strike,
and there is every indication that with
in a week or two the mines of all the
companies will be running full blast,
including development work.

master plumbers are a unit in opposing
this increase. The union is insistent on

weeks the strike Of the plumbers may
seriously effect the extensive building
planned for this spring. A prominent
master plumber said hast night:

OF the proposed advance in the scale

think all the master plumbers are Gp-
posed to granting the increase. How
