DEPARTMENT TO LOWER
MAINS IN FIRST SOUTH
Illegal Method of Procedure Finally
Adopted After Being Endorsed
by Mayor.

At special meeting of the water
works committee of the city council
yesterday morning it was decided to
commence Immediately the lowering
and enlargement of the water mains
on First South street so that P. J.
Moran can go ahead with the paving
of that thOrOughfare.
This action was taken after Mayor
Bransford had promised to approve
the action of the council in allowing
the WaterwOrks department to do the
work.
The committee also denied the re-
quest of Superintendent HOLIDAY for
an automobile, although it reported
favOrably on the purchase of two ad-
ditional horses and wagons for the de-
partment.
The relaying of the water mains by
the waterworks department has been
declared illegal by the superintendent
of waterwOrks, but nevertheless the
councils action will stand until some
legal objection is made to it. Accord
ing to the supreme court decision con-
corning the same point. all such con-
tracts must be let TO the lowest bid
der by the board of public works, but
the council has ignored this provision
The supposition is that the depart
ment can 90 the work more quickly
and cheaply than a contractor. The
estimated cost of the work is s12,
and P. j. Moran, who has the paving
contract. offered TO do it for $500 in
order that he might go ahead at once
with the paving. He would not press
the offer, however, as he did not de-
sire to antagOnize the council or the
water department, and as a result the
cost viii be at least $4,000 more than
his offer.
The lowering of the water mains
along the street from Second East to
Thirteenth East is required. In addi-
ton to this the four-inch pipe at four
of the intersections must be replaced
by siX-inCh pipe.

MEASURED THE FOOTSTEPS.
Ogden Sherlock Holmes Thinks He's
Located Asparagus Thief.

According to the facts brought out in
police court yesterday Plain City has a
sleuth that bids fair to rival the work
of Sherlock Holmes. George A. Boyd was
before the court charged with the theft
of $50 pounds of asparagus from the patch
of Abram Nav of Plain City. of which
settlement Boyd is also a well known
resident. The theft occurred on the night
of April %. Deputy Sheriff Joseph Hutch
insOn is the man who adopted the Holmes
ideas and effected the arrest of Boyd.
The man who invaded the asparagus
patch left footprints in the soft ground
These were carefully examined and
measured by Hutchinson, after which he
followed the trail, which. he claims. led
him TO the Boyd home near by. Boyd
was induced to accompany the officer
to the place where the bed of aSpara-
gus was formerly. New tracks were made
and a comparison of the two left no
doubt in the mind of the officer of the
law that Boyd was his man. and the
arrest followed. The case was not con-
cluded yesterday.

was quite surprised that a settlement had
been effected, if one really was effected,
without having been made cOgniZant of
the fact. President Currie said:
The announcement of the settlement
in Montana between the electrical work
ers and the Bell Telephone company is
matter Of surprise to me. do not
question the dispatch which says that
an agreement has been reached between
the Bell people and the Montana Fedora
tlon of Labor-that may be true. But the
M hlonda ai1a Federatl0n of Labor has no right
TO settle any strike which the electrical
workers of the district have officially
called until it is asked to do so, and I
90 not know of any one who has asked
the Montana Federation of Labor to set
tie our strike for us.
The dispatches say that the electrical
workers unlOnS-at least / read them so
have voted to call off the strike. If
they have done that they are in danger
of losing their charters, and bear the
same relationship to the International
brotherhood of Electrical Workers as
would an individual member of a local
union who would enter the employ of
the. Bell Telephone company while it is
unfair.
Assurances of Loyalty.
We have had repeated assurances from
the Montana Federation of Labor that
1t would stand by US to the last. Its
sured, told Mr.. Vance, the president of
the Bell company, not many weeks ago,
that the Montana federation would ac-
cept no compromise unless and until the
entire district had been included.
There was no representative of the
electrical workers present at any coll
ferences that might have been held in
Butte. The Montana Federation of La
Dor had authority to settle for the tele-
phone operators, but never for the line
men, until the linemen themselves gave
the word. The positive understanding be-
tween US has been that the Montana Fed
Grafton would not accept compromise
or do anything toward a settlement I'M
less such action included the entire dis
trict.
Il am quite sure that President Nc
Nulty and Vice President Sullivan, of the
l. B. Z. W., who are on the coast are
doing in Montana as | am. | know only
this: The situation is unchanged in the
states of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.
think too. that there is a deal of infOT-
nation due from Montana before we are
clear on the whole thing"
Many Men Involved.
The strike against the telephone COM
panies began on May IA year ago.
The demand was for increased wages
in all cities affected. except Butte, where
the wage question had not entered into
the controversy. The demands, shorn of
technicalities, We're for a 50-Cent increase
the day-frOm $3.25 to 1915. Approx
mately Us men went out on the call
There are six principal locals in Mon
tana and one sub-local These are To-
Gated at Butte, Helena, Great Falls, Bill
lings, Lewiston and MiSSOula. The sub
local is at Livingston, There are two
locals in this state, two in Wyoming and
three in Idaho.
The strike against the independent COM
pany was settled a few months ago and
that company is now on the fair list
with the electrical workers
