Butte, May 19--It looked at an early
hour this morning as if the beginning
Of the end of the trouble with tho
brewery workers strike was at hand,
but this evening it looks entirely diff
ferent. 1t was tentatively agreed this
morning that the miners union would
withdraw its men from the breWeries
and all of the old conditions would
prevail, with engineers from local No
SO having charge the same as before,
and with the "insurgents" sidetracked
Evidently this was not agreeable to
some of the miners, for a petition
was addressed to President Flynn this
afternoon asking him to call a spe-
cial meeting to reconsider the action.
Tonight the engineers are in protracted
session, and that they will favor the
proposed basis of settlement is conf
IDENTIFY predicted, as they will win
every point which was asked.
Today the unfair beer banner was
again paraded and a fight was imme-
diately precipitated. Bloody noses,
battered countenances and marks of
battle in general We're distributed
freely when striking brewery workers
and Western Federation of Miner
men clashed on Wyoming street oppo-
site the Butte brewery. Hostilities
were started when two striking brew
cry workers drove past in buggy
carrying the Cali Local Beers Are I'm

Tested, gave the "hoot'' to some of
the Western Federation men who had
gone to work in the breweries. The
Western Federation men picked up the
gauntlet and climbed over the wheels
after the sign bearers. There We're
three in the attacking party. The BAN
ner was torn and mutilated.
Reinforcements came and the strife
was resumed twice afterwards. When
1t began there were but two confess
tants. The swayng, pushing mob
went west toward Granite street, and
when four deputy sheriffs from the
court house forced their way into the
center of the crush at that point, there
We're 20 or 30 men engaged in beating
each other with their fists. The brew
cry workers were greatly outnum-
bered, and, although they left a few
marks, they got the worst of the fray.

Double Trouble
for S. Rebrecek
Man Who Got Worst of it in a Fight
Shoots Third Man to Square
Accounts.

Mistaking James Merk, 1851 South Four
tenth street, for the man with whom he had
had a fight some hours before during a
dance al Metz hall, Stanley Rebrecek. llGl
South Thirteenth street. sent a bullet
through Merk's arm to make up for having
been worsted in the trouble at the dance.
He was Immediately arrested by Officer
Pszanowski and is held at the police sta
ton on a charge of shooting TO Kill.
Merk's wound, although painful, is merely
a flesh injury and is not expected by Police
Surgeon Newell to prove serious. He was
booked at the police station with Rebrecek
and then released on bond until the case
comes up before Judge Crawford.
The trouble occurred about 8 o'clock
Sunday morning at the Dugan flats, where
Rebrecek lives. Merk had gone there with
his brothers. hat to give it to the latter.
Rebrecek had arrived home and was cvi-
IDENTIFY nursing his injured feelings when
Merk arrived. A revolver was handily
within reach, either in his pocket or his
room, and Merk was mistaken for the
man with whom Rebrecek had been quar-
reling, so the bullet sped on its intended
mission OF 'squaring" accounts.

Younger Jews
Must Look Back
Prof. Nathan Bernstein Tells I. o,
B. B. the Work of Their Fathers
Must Inspire Them.

Prof. Nathan Bernstein Of the Omaha
High school spoke to the Young Mems Nc
Kinley lodge /. o. b. y. Sunday after
noon, at the lodge rooms in the Continental
block. In an earnest manner he appealed
to the younger Jews before him and those
in America, to let the works OF their an
~cestors inspire them that in the end they
might prove their case and a Just appre-
citation for the part they are taking in the
world.
THE social unrest which is so conspicu-
Gus a feature of the Twentieth century
civilization, is not sparing the Jew" said
Prof. Bernstein.
Especially is this noticeable among the
younger element, educated by the public
school to see little difference between him
self and other Americans, he is beginning
to inquire into meaning of his continued ex-
istence. Trained to believe tina Judaism
stands for religion and not for n race. he
must needs understand that religion and
obey its tenets more faithfully IL his long
existence among the nations of the earth is
to be justified. That he may have a
proper pride in his blood and ancestry re-
quires him to believe in the principle of
'Noblesse Oblige."
The pride of the alumnus in his college
is due to the traditions and achievements
of the college. 1t inspires him with cour-
age to justify the college ideals. His
loyalty to these ideals is compounded Of
faith in what other alumni nave been able
TO achieve. He is the better man for hay
ing breathed in this atmosphere, for hav-
ing lived in this environment.
No college can claim a longer nor a
stronger life than the Jew. In none are
traditions OF so lofty and inspiring a
value. The Jew links ancient, modern
and recent history. Were II not for his
faith in the persistence of the ancient
ideals, the darkness OF the medieval age
had overpowered the intellect which kent
alive the feebly burning lamp of learn
ing that drear time. IL all this inspires the
Jew with a just and proper pride, IL en-
tails on him no less a responsibility. If
during many years of travel he remained
true to his ideals, he must not, he dare
not, in a more favorable soil allow the
flower OF his culture to become withered
for want OF proper nurture. If young
Israel expects 10 reap the reward awarded
to those who further the course of civiliza-
ton, they must not shirk it's duties. As
many of them have greater and better ad-
vantages than their sires, so much stronger
and better laborers must they be in the
cause OF humanity. If prejudice exists,
the open records of young Israel's life
must be the proof of its baseless fabric.
If blood counts for anything they will not
fail the test. A study of the history and
the tenets of their ancestral faith will
inspire them with a zeal to again become
and remain leaders in the worlds uplift.
Then will they show the world that Israel's
mission is peace and as of old will help
not only themselves, but all the world to
become the Lords anointed, not only in
a scriptural, but no less in a philosophic
sense.
