1t developed from the addresses
made here today that the East Helena
management had more than doubled
its rates for smelling In many in
stances, and that unless reduction
was made, many mines would be
forced to suspend. Already several
properties where leasers were working
in Butte have been compelled to close
down, as they could not pay the smelt'
ing charges. ....
The plant at East Helena recently
reduced its wages ten per cent. Short

states Why it cannot always approve
OF a lower rate for a shorter haul
than for a louger one in the same ter

The Nations Real Enemies.

CHICAGO. Ian 1.-THE real enemies
to the business of this country, as he
viewed them, were pointed out last
night by United States District Attor-
ney Sims. who conducted the prosecu.
tions against the Standard Oil com.
pany and the beef, drug and school
furniture combinations.
There are those, he affirmed, who
would have the federal lsws remain
on the statute books as sop to the
people and yet would permit the rich
and powerful to conduct their busi-
ness in disregard of those laws. This,
he held, is destructive of all govern.
ment.
He intimated that the disclosures of
corruption and rottenness in corpor-
ate management might have had some
thing to do with disturbing the conf.
dence of the people and interference
with business during the last few
months.
