DISPUTE CLOSES DOWN
MONTANA MINES AND SHELTERS
TROUBLE BETWEEN ENGI-
NEERS AND MINERS REACH
ES A CRISES.

(By United Press Leased Wire
BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 16.-Ev-
cry mine in and around Butte,
with the exception of the Silver
Bow, the Berkeley and the Noun
tain Consolidated, suspended o1-
erations today.
The suspension was the result
of an attempt on the part of the
union engineers employed at the
mines to separate from the West
ern Federation of Miners and or
ganize a union to affiliate with the
International Engineers union.
1t is estimated today that 5000
men are idle.
The smelling works of former
Senator w. A. Clark closed this
morning. According to General
Manager John Gillie, of the Anal
gamated Copper Mining company
the Washoe smelters at Anaconda,
employing 5000 men, the Boston
and Montana smelters at Great
Falls, employing 2,v00 men, prob
ably will have to close within four
/
days.
The three mines in this city
which have not closed all belong
to the Amalgamated company
They are running under difficulty
with crippled forces.
The direct cause of the suspen,
sion was the refusal of the en-
l.
ling. Further complicating mat
ters, the miners and smelter mems
unions have announced that they
will refuse to handle any ore
hoisted by the engineers who have
lseceded from the Western Federl-
ltion, but will import engineers.
This In turn has developed a
new phase of complicated situa-

The trustees of the Commercial
club yesterday afternoon refused
to endorse the slate of the Com
mittee of Twelve and the Tacoma
hotel convention.
Informal discussion of the mat
ter was held at the trustees meet
ing, but the tenor of th- remarks
was such that the whole matter
was dropped.
eve killed it off," was the way
one trustee told of the action
when he emerged from the COM
mittee room. The death of the
thing was accomplished by simply
ignoring it and refusing to take
any action on it.
President Rhodes today
said he did not feel that it
was up to the trustees to act.
''The committe that sat i'm the
Committee of Twelve from
this club came into existence
before the present adminis-
tration. Neither j nor the
present trustees had anything
to do with il. and If 1t is to
report to anybody let it report
to the old administration"
said Mr.. Rhodes.
The whole program seems to in
dicate that the proposition will be
dropped as gracefully as possible.
Secretary Cosper today said
that the committe of three from
the Commercial club on the Com
Imittee of Twelve was not a club
committee at all. THE CONNER
cial club had no committee; three
men on the Committee of Twelve
happened to be members here"
said Cosper.
President Rhodes said they
were named by the old admins
tration, and the trustees at the
meeting refused to consider the
ticket fixed up or to take any
action on it.
The whole thing is to be ig-
lnored according to the present
plans.
The membership generally In
disscusing the situation say the
club will drop the case as quietly
las possible and get out of 1t. They
say they never were consulted in
the first place concerning the
appointment of any committee for
any such mission as that assumed
by the Committee of Twelve. and
/ it is limited if they had been there
might have been different results.
At all events, the sentiment now
is that as the trustees in their
session refused to act the slate is
a dead one as far as the club Is
concerned.
