FEDERATION IS HOGG|sH
Calls Out Its Men Because
Macbinists Formed a
New Union.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 24.-As the re-
suit of fight between the Western
Federation of Miners and the hoisting
engineers, eighty per cent of the
Butte mines are closed this morning.
The majority of the engineers seeded
from the Federation, establishing a
new union. The Federation ordered
the miners not to go to work this
morning in the mines employing en-
gineers belonging to the new union.
The situation is remarkable in that
the employers have nothing to do
with it. No strike or walkout was
ordered and the question of hours,
wages or rules is not involved. Unless
the unions settle their differences
within few days the smelters at
Anaconda and Great Falls will close
throwing out of employment $4,000
men.

President Taft's special guests were
Governor Shafroth. former Senator T.

assurances that the work of reclama-

The government will continue to look
after the projects and will strive to
achieve the best results for irrigation
, and reclamation through federal agen-

The Presidents alIusion to private
capital is taken by some to mean that
