WASHINGTON, Sept. N.-The hospitality
Of the west seems to be taxing President
Taft's endurance, especially as TO the for
NAL dinners arranged In his honor.
Some time before the president started
on his tour Secretary Carpenter wrote TO
each Of the reception committees, asking
them to make the presidential dinners as
simple and brief as possible. Nothwith-
standing this injunction, the cities so far
visited nave Wed in making the dinners
as elaborate as possible ana In some in
stances they have occupied three and four
hours.
In view OF the length of the presidential
trip and the large number Of dinners to
which he has ben invited, Mr.. Taft feels
in Justice 10 himself, the dinners should
be as simple and brief and the occasions
will permit and has asked Mr.. Carpenter
again to ask the various committees OF
! arrangements to observe his original re-

After a warm session in which the spe-
clsl committee OF the council came in for
some scoring for signing the conference
report containing the settlement offer of
the street railway company. the city coun-
oil yesterday afternoon in committee Of
the whole recommended for passage a
resolution asking the street railway COM
pany to arbitrate.
The resolution was recommended on mo-
ton of Lee Bridges and was seconded by
Hummel. 1t received no negative votes.
The subject was brought before the eoun-
cilmen by a committee from the Central
Labor union. headed by ]. r. wangberg,

tween the street railway company and

Prior to the beginning Of the speakers

verse about Mr.. wattles.
Say Men Are Returning.

Of the city, according to Assistant General
Manager Leussler Of the street railway
company Monday morning.
IAN the regular cars on the Farnam,
South Omaha. North Twenty-fourth and
Council Bluffs lines are manned by old
men, - said Mr.. Leussler. strike breakers
are employed on these lines only on swing
runs and extra cars. Regular service was
begun at the normal hour In the morning
for the first time since the stike."
This statement by Mr.. Leussler summed
up the situation from the company's stand
point. While union officials denied there
had been any desertions many old and
familiar faces appeared on the more i'm

BUTTE, Mont. Sept 2.-When Presi-
dent Taft arrived In Butte this morning ne
found a city eager to welcome him, the
streets gay with bunting and nothing in
sight to mar his reception. He was wei
coined at 1890 o'clock at the depot by a
big reception committee and waiting
motors took him and his party over the
line of parade mapped out several days
ago and after his speech on North Mon
tana street, opposite the court house, he
was whisked away to his train and started
on the Journey to Helena, where he was
welcomed by thousands OF Montana ciu-
zens at the state fair grounds.
! When the parade, headed by tho pTesi-
dent, reached the speakers stand, former
Senator Lee Mantle introduced the presi-
dent to Mayor Nevin, who in a few words
presented Mr.. Taft to the throng.
AS in other cities, the school children
formed a feature of the greeting to the
president. The children all carried flags
and saluted the chief executive as he
passed in his motor.

the original program. II had been planned
for Mr.. Taft to spend some time In the
mines and sInelters here, but when the
labor troubles became acute last week the
committee changed the arrangement so
that a part of the time was spent at Ana
conda, where the smelters were visited and
examined. The president took a lively in
terest in all he saw and seemed to be much
impressed with the extent OF the Industry
at Anaconda and Butte.
The labor trouble, which was caused by
the engineers Withdrawing from the fed
Grafton and forming an Independent organ

prehenslon and extra precautions were
taken to safeguard the president. Both
the sheriff and the chief of police added
many men to their regular forces and the
town was thoroughly poiiced by men In
uniforms and plain clothes. These pre-
cautions were unnecessary as the labor
troubles had practically been adjusted and

expected to be back to work tonight.
No doubt the visit OF the president was
a factor in postponing the return to work
until tonight. Throughout the controversy
there had been bad feeling between the

to recommend a resolution for arbitration
