Miners Accept Sliding Scale.

BUTTE, March 27.-The count OF
ballots thus far made shows that the
members of the Butte Miners union
have voted overwhelmingly in favor of
entering into a tive'year contract with
the Amalgamated Copper company.
providing for an increase in wages,
the increase to be based upon a sliding
scale, fixed by the price of electrolytic
copper as quoted by the Engineering
& Mining Journal.
The new contract will be in effect
for five years from and after the Is,
day of next month, and thereafter un-
til either party to the agreement shall
have given 30 days notice OF its desire
to terminate the agreement.
The union will be fully recognized
by the company and will be permitted
to take into its organization every
employee over whom it may properly
claim jurisdiction. Eight hours shall
constitute a day work. The company
will, at all times, give heed to the
grievances Of any employe, as the
union may present such matters.
Miners will receive 81 per day, and
shaft men, $3.50 per day, SO long as
the price of copper remains above %
cents per pound. With copper be-
tween Is and % cents, the wages would
bc 1913 and s4.2o. aud if copper should
fall below 10 cents, the wages would
be o.. so and 81.

and the whole effect is largely senti- mental To some extent, it is probably being used as a plausible excuse for bear manipulation as well as for tenn porary apathy on the part of the usual leaders of the market. This develop ment has come just at a time when the depressing effects of long spell of dear money were wearing away. Be- tween the two the winter has ended with prices materially lower than at Ne Years whether the tendency will continue will no doubt depend largely on the two factors of general business and the crops. "A marked recession in industrial prosperity and the promise of a disappointing crop yield would with little doubt put the bears com pletely in the saddle, Without such de- velopments, however, we cannot but re- gard he market at present as in an un- usually strong position for a pronounce ed spring advance. It has been through a season of diversity by which it has greatly profted; and the host of factors working in the opposite direc- ton, notably the passage of the Aldrieh bill and the huge extent of the short interest, should now score heavily in uplifting prices"

LET THEM SEE THEIR OWN
 WORK.

The well dressed woman slipped two opera tickets into an envelope, which she proceeded to address to a girl en- ployed by fashionable dressmaker.
 That" she explained, lis a favor that many women with good clothes confer upon the girls who are respon- sible for their fine feathers. In be- slowing it we are not actuated by vanity but by a desire to give pleas ure. After a woman has been in the millinery or dressmaking business for several years she ceases to take much interest. in the public appear ance of the women who wear her creations, but the younger girls have a great desire to see a customer fully dressed for some occasion for which they have hurried to finish her clothes. From Iong experience I can pick out these curious clever little artists and whenever I wear an es- pecially nice dress to a place open to the public send tickets of admission to the girls who have worked hardest to make my costume a success.
