Wisconsin Railroad Legislation.

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 28.--The Wis.
consin railroads, which gladly &C.
cepted the 24'cent passenger rate, are
now haunted by the growing fear tn at
they rejoiced too soon. The convic.
ton is growing that the next move
will be q horizontal slashing OF freight
rates, which constitute the very back
bone of railroad prosperity.
Had the legislature passed a 2.cent
rate and then reduced freight rates as
we'll, the roads could have gone into
court and shown that they would have
resulted in a loss of dividends. The
acceptance of the 24.cent rate will
hamper them in fighting freight rate
reductions.
It is interesting to recall that for
years the railroads have saved the
people of Wisconsin from state taxa
ton. The license fees have met all
expenses except the school tax. With
fight on rates being rushed, the
roads may be able to make such a
showing that these taxes will be laid
upon the people instead of the cor.
poration.

Ship Subsidy Blocked.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-There will
be no ship subsidy legislation during
the present session Of congress. This
fact was practically conceded by all
when the senate supporters Of the SUBJ
sidy bill agreed late today to allow
the subject to go over until tomorrow.
The failure OF the; measure will be
due to the opposition of democratic
senator's which was so pronounced 40
to cause them to filibuster for more
than an hour today. The position of
democratic senators was made known
to their republican colleagues early
today. Several of them held an in
formal conference and after deciding
that the bill should; not pass in its
present shape, they instructed their
caucus leader, Senator ackbrrn, to
convey this information to the repub.
lican leaders.

belief that the development work
which was suspended few days ago
will be resumed. A special meeting
Of the Miners union is called for
Wednesday night Of next week at
which II is expected the union will
take some action toward adjusting the
scale so that It will meet with greater
favor with the main managements.
There is considerable talk that q slid.
scale will be discussed, by which
skilled labor in the mines will be paid
for at the commensurate rate, at least
a per day, and less skilled labor will
be paid for according to merit.
Wages demanded for shaft men, $3.50
per day, 1t is understood will be con.
ceded. The lowest wages to be paid
will be 1916 per day.

Busy Day In Congress.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The dena-
tured alcohol bill passed the senate
today by vote of 65 to l, Senator
Pettus of Alabama, cast the negative
vote. This action was taken after the
committee amendment requiring the
presence of government storekeeper
wherever alcohol is being manufac-
tured was defeated by a vote of A to
Is. The bill as passed contains q
senate amendment permitting small
amounts to be denatured. Conse-
quently the measure must be returned
to the house for action. The bill is
intended to make it possible for far
mers to establish stills of limited
capacity for the manufacture of alco.
hol to be denatured.
The house this afternoon passed the
ship subsidy bill after one of the most
interesting fights seen in recent years.
On the first vote the democrats and
the insurgent republicans had votes
enough to defeat the measure, but at.
ter three hours of fierce contest, the
bill as perfected in the committee of
the whole, striking out the provisions
of steamship mail lines from Pacific
coast points to the Orient, it was fin.
ally passed by II majority. Fifty-two
republicans voted with the democrats
on the first ballot, and four on the
final ballot.

The Wage Problem In Butte.

BUTTE, March III. L. Dobell, edi-
tor OF the the Butte Miner, speaking
OF the industrial situation in Butte
today, said: "There are great
many people who think that Butte is
faced by an industrial crisis. This is
not true. It is simply q readjustment
OF industrial conditions, which has
been pending for the last three years.
We have found unrest among the wage
earners for the reason that wages
have not been proportionately ad.
justed. When you find a hod carrier
demanding and getting $3.50 day it
is reasonable to suppose that the
miner, who works harder, takes
greater chances of life and limb,
should not feel satisfied when his
wages are fixed at 1915 per day.
"Sooner or later an adjustment as
bound to come. There is only one
safe basis upon which to fix wages in
the mining industry, and that is upon
a sliding scale which the price of cop.
per will govern.
The labor situation remains un.
changed, and, if anything, there is
more optimistic feeling for the future
than at any time during the past week.
In no quarter is the fear entertained
that the mines will shut down, and
there is everything on which to base

From good source it is learned
that the smeltermen and miners will

PUSHING THE MILWAUKEE.
New Railroad Expects To Handle

The Milwaukee will be hauling cattle

it being the expectation that the two
forces will meet with one another in
the Musselshell country next fall.
The most gigantic piece OF work the
Milwaukee is undertaking is the re.
building Of the Montana Railroad in
Sixteen.Mile Canyon from Lombard
north. This is made more difficult by
the fact that the company Is endeavor.
ing to keep the Montana railroad in
operation while the new road is being
built far above it on the cliffs.
The Milwaukee road through Six.
teen.Mile canyon is said to be one OF
the most expensive stretches Of track
on the entire extension. There are
thousands of tons of rock to be:bl lasted
out of the face of the cliffs to make q
place for the roadbed. Eight tunnels
will be bored, almost through solid
rock, but when the new road is built
the grade will be one per cent. and the
heaviest trains can be hauled easily.
There is another big force of men q,
work across the river from Lombard
on the Butte extension.
It is said that before the summer
passes men will be working in central
Montana, perhaps in the vicinity oi

only been done in eastern Montana,
