AGREEMENT IS SIGNED
BY UNIONS
AN IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING
is REACHED BY EMPLOY
ERs AND UNIONS. '

Great Falls, May 14.--An arbitration
agreemeTfr of farreaching Importance
to this community and OF considerable
interest generally was finally agreed to
tonight by the Central Labor body OF
this city, and through its operation no
labor disputes are likely to arise in
Great Falls for the next three years.
This agreement, which was originally
offered by the Cascade County Trades
and Labor assembly to the board OF
commerce, representing the employing
and business interests of the city, pro-
vides that for the next three years
there shall be no increase or reduction
OF wages, that employers signing it
shall employ union labor and that all
disputes arising between employers
and employees during the term of three
years shall be submitted to board of
arbitration consisting of IL members,
six of these to be selected by the board
Of commerce from among the employ
ers and business men and six from the
labor unions, no two from any one
union. The decision of this board
shall be binding on both sides, and it
- i6lCad oIi Dblll SlllhS IIdL every IR-
gal effort shall be made by those sign
ing to force concurrence with such de-
cision on the part Of both unions and
employers.
Backed up by the board Of commerce
the agreement has been signed by
practically all the large employers of
labor in the city, and by a large pro-
portion of other business men, A few
smaller unions have not yet signed,
but unions with membership of close
to 2l,00O men are enrolled, and the
others are expected ITO come in later.
incidentally this agreement is likely
to settle the present strikes of carpen-
tefs and painters, who are out on de-
mand for SIS per day. Under the agree
lnent the other unions will refuse to
back them up, and they must accept
the scale in force on. April i, which
was $3.50.

TORNADOES PREAD

SERIES OF STORMS IN KANSAS

FIVE LIVES.

Kansas City, May 14.-A series of
| tornadoes in Kansas, Missouri and
!. Oklahoma late today killed at least
i five, injured SIS, laid waste one town,
wrecked Il train and did much damage
to property.
Twenty-Five persons were injured by
q storm that swept over Mount Wash
ington and Paramount Park, suburbs
of Kansas City. At least two of these
are thought to be fatally injured.
The town of Hillos, Kan, near Con-
cordia, was swept away. Here three
were killed and 10 injured. The dead:
Fred Jeardoe, John eyre and George
Eckert. O
The Eckstrom family, consisting of
five persons, is missing. Their house
is in ruins and it is thought they are
dead.
Near Great Bend a tornado killed
two and injured 20.
All wires are down in that vicinity,
and it is fered the death list may be
greater.
William Ackerly, a Santa Fe engi-
neer, and Frank Nicholson, a conduc-
tor, We're killed while with a bridge
gang between Great Bend and kins-
ley
The tornado wrecked the work train
of which Ackerly was engineer and
blew it into a ditch. Several members
of the crew We're blown 100 feet. The
pie driver toppled over, crushing Ack-
erly to death in his cab, while he re-
manned with his hand upon the
throttle.
Most of the victims in this case were
members of the crew of the train
wrecked by the wind. The wind spread
over a wide area, however, and injured
many whose names could not be OBJ
tanned tonight
Many conflicting reports have been
received.
AT Hosington, Kan, a tornado in
Jured number and greatly damaged
farm property, 1t was not so severe
however, as that passing over other
portions of the state.

| Butte, May 1.-THE first trouble of
| the brewery workers strike occurred
this afternoon on West Broadway,
| when SO brewery workers and men in
sympathy with tho union men who
had taken the places of the strikers,
mixed it up, The trouble was caused
/ by banner declaring that all local
beer was unfair, ana while the fight
lasted only a few minutes IL was red
hot, and there We're many black eyes
and bloody noses in evidence when tho
police arrived. Frank Coyle, "a member
Of the Stationary Engineers union,
was taken to the police station, and
later released, putting up q bond of
$40 on a disturbance charge.
The two brewery workers charged
him with drawing a revolver.
Coyle asserted that the revolver
dropped from his pocket after he had
been assaulted by a brewery worker.
That the trouble was anticipated by
the displaying of the sign was evil
denced by the large crowd of brewery
workers near by Members of the diff
ferent unions who were opposed to the
strike were also on hand ready and
willing to take a hand
The banner was lost temporarily
during the melee, but about 5 o'clock
1T again appeared and was escorted
up Main street. a number of big brew
ers marching along the sidewalk on
one side of the street as a guard, while
on the other side We're fully as many
men on the other side of the question,
ready for anything the other side
might start. The banner was escorted
to the Carpenters Union hall where a
slight demonstration was made and the
trouble of the day was over.
Following the fight which occurred
at o'clock in the afternoon, Mayor
Nevins kept detail of six policemen
IN reserve at headquarters until mid
night, and also notified the men re-
sponslble for the appearance of the
banner on the street that a repetition
of its appearance would result in ar
rests for melting Il riot

tween committees from Engineers

With a margin Of Is points over its

Butte track team romped away with
the interscholastic championship for
1909 on Montana field yesterday after
noon. Thirty-seven points did the ath-
letes from the smoky city score. and
90 was the best that their closest
rivals, the track men from Park coun-
ty, could register. At that Park county
made good The Missoulian's prophecy
of yesterday morning of taking second
place in the meet and by furnishing
the interscholastic individual champion,
Clarence Bickford, the years cham
pion, Davis, who established n new
hammer throw record for the the in
terscholastcs of Montana, and Harvey
put Park county in second place. The
remainder of the teams entered traled
far behind the two leaders, eight fall
ing to land single point and three
finishing with single mark on the big
score card.
And the Sun Shone.
The last day for the athletic events
of the interscholastic week was all that
could have been asked for, had the at
mospheric conditions been made to or
der. The attendance was at least a
good third larger than on the opening
day Of the track events, and the en-
thusiasm displayed yesterday dis
counted that of Thursday. Butte won
the meet, but was pushed harder than
the margin by which its team won

was broken yesterday by Leon Davis
of Park county, who swung the weight
out 1873 feet and az inches. The record
up to yesterday was held by Grandpre
