Butte, Jan. 5.-lSpecial)-Ne from
Great Falls to the effee, that arrange
ments have been made to handle the
ore from Butte. has gone long way
TO help clear the local situation and
it now looks as If the mines OF this
district will continue in operation.
Some of the miners when leaving the
hall used the expression that they
they would rather starye than scab
but IL the ore ears are handled by
other than switchmen belonging TO the
union they will be considered I, as
abetting non-union men and this
brings up another proposition which
may have to be Settled later.
As IL Is there is more cheerful
feeling throughout town. As the is

Is concerned, eenters at Great Fails,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Butte Miners union last night de-
clined TO take further action in re-
spect to last weeks joint conference

mr.. KNOX SUGGESTS
ARBITRATION
COURT
WOULD HAVE JURISDICTION OF
PRIZE COURT EXTENDED TO
COVER NEW FIELD.

Washington, Jan. with a view of
making international arbitration jud4.
cial in fact as well as in theory. Sec
retary Knox has addressed a circular
note to the powers proposing that the
Jurisdiction of the international prize
court. authorized in 1907. by The
Hague peace conference. be extended
so as to make it court of arbitraI
justice. No responses have been re
ceived. A statement explaining the
contents of the note and reasons the
proposal was made was given out to-
night by Secretary Knox.
The international prize court was to
be composed of Is judges. eight to be
chosen from the larger maritime coun-
tries, Germany. Austria Hungary.
France, Great Britain, italy, Japan and
the United States to serve six years.
Other j. dges were to be chosen from
other nations and We're to ST for n
longer or shorter period as determined
by the maritime standing of their re-
speetive countries. In his statement.
Secretary Knox says:
THE proposition has the very great
advantage of providing the nations
with n permanent court of arbitration.
for the peaceful settlement of contro-
versies in times of peace: whereas,
the prize court. as such. prosnpposes u
state of war for without war tas "s-g-
ture of property is Illegal. Arbitra-
lion would not merely be. as both
Hague conferences have said. the most
efficacious and most equitable method
If settling disputes which diplomacy
has failed to adjust, hut would he ju-
diciai in fact rs Well as in theory"
AS constituted by The Hague con-
ference the prize court was to he a
court of appeals. either from the orig
inal court i'm which the ease Was tried,
or from the Judgment. of its appellate
court.
"The United Stsses has not sub
mittad judgment u. its court of inter
national tribunals explained Secre.
tary Knox. although it has freq entity
presented questions involved i'm its
courts to mixed commissions and has
promptly paid the awards when the de-
cision of the mixed commission has
taxed the United States with liability
not found by its national court. Ap-
peal from a court of the United States
might raise n delicate and difficult
question of constitutional law and rem
der difficult IL not impossible the rati-
fication of the prize court by the
United States.
The difficulty is one of form rather
than substance. for whether the prin
cip'e involved in the judgment be de
cided or the Judgment of a national
court be submitted. the result will be !
the same. namely: A decision upon the |
legality of the capture. /.
