Butte Employers Confronted BY De

BUTTE, Feb. 15.-The labor situa.
ton here grows darker hourly. The
pressmeu In the newspaper Offices and
telephone girls r not only out on q
strike for higher wages, but several
other unions are contemplating de.

operations in other felds.

The workingmen's and Carpenters
unions have already announced a
raise of wages, the former to take ef-
feet March l, and the latter q month
later. Common laborers will then ask
$3.50 a day instead of g and the car
penters S6 instead Of S5.
Several large employers have al.
ready declared they will refuse to
meet the workingmen's demands.
Large building operations planned
will be seriously affected, it is said,
by the carpenters raise.
The butchers union here demanded
a raise of from 81 to Is q day and re-
ceived it two weeks ago, but now the
bosses have filed a protest, which has
been submitted to the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor assembly. 1t ia
said the latter body does moi look
upon all the requests of the butchers
with favor and this may precipitate
trouble in that direction.
The mail carriers of Butte sent q
formal request to the federal authori.

back yesterd ay refusing an advance,
and accordingly it is now understood

But doubtless the most serious
phase of the outlook ia the probabili

mands will be made March l and an
other that it will be two months later

Lower down, where the meat is less
