TO ALL ORGANIZED LABOR:
On October Is. 1909, the Switch
mems Union through its authorized
representatives In the Northwest ter
ritory, served notice on the railroads.
hat a conference was desired for the
and Improvement In working condi-
tions.
On October 18th the Switchmen's
Union Committee and certain rail =
road officials met in conference and
for several days deliberated on the
issue. All argumens and influence
which could be produced were sub
mitted to the railroad companies to
grant an increase in wages and relief
from deplorabie working conditions,
but to no avail The companies fin
ally offered to submit the entire ques-
ton to arbitration under the Erdman
act. This the switchmen refused, be-
cause 1t would bring no relief, partic-
ularly to the working conditions. as
under the act. a decision could be
withheld for at least two years. Fail
ing therefore. TO obtain any benefit by
every other honorable means. a strike
of the switchmen was inaugurated
November 80, 1909. tying up every
yard from the head of the lakes to
Puget Sound. Never has there been
a more complete strike in the history
of organized labor and never one
more ord srly. All switchmen In the
territory responded to the call to strike
and they have been standing firm by
their demands since. Traffic is par
alyzed. mills, smelters. and shops
closed and machinery is idle. Busi-
ness interests, state and city govern
ments have appealed to the railroads
to settle the controversy and thus put
an end to the great financial loss

tion OF the Montana Federation Of
Labor, which convention passed reso-
lutions in favor OF woman's suffrage.
The principal arguments used In favor
OF the foregoing resolution were, that
the working women OF Montana were
rapidly organizing into unions and
becoming n factor in the labor move
ment and II was only justice that they
have the right OF suffrage in order
that they have chance to secure
some labor legislation for themselves.
II Is to be hoped that when the
women OF Montana get the suffrage
that Mrs. Bennefeld will be the first

HOMESTAKE RESORT
William R. Hearst Properties in the
Black Hills Throw Men in
Jail when They Refuse to
Become Scabs

The Homestake company is not
only importing men to take the places
of its locked-out employees, but 1t or
its agents are resorting to misrepre-
sentation to lure workers to the Black
Hills and then If the dupes refuse to
work they are to be thrown into jail
Among the men imported was
Carl Kraus OF Victor, Colorado.
who was hired by a man named
Milt Arthur. also of Victor. When
asked to come to the Hills, Kraus re-
piled that he had heard something
about there being trouble between the
Homestake company and its employ
ees. Arthur replied that all the
trouble had been settled; that all the
English-speaking people had gone
back to work and the company was
refusing to hire foreigners. This
made IL necessary to bring men into
the Hills to fill vacancies. With this
understanding. Mr.. Kraus came to
Lead, his fare having been paid by
some one other than himself. When
the party arrived i'm Lead yesterday
afternoon, he saw a number of idle
men on the streets who looked to
him like they could speak English
and came to the conclusion that he
had been lied to. He was hustled to
the company's office along with his
companions. where he signed the scab
list, but he said he made a mental
reservation that even If he signed he
would not work under such conditions

FROM THE TRIBUNE FILES


Several persons recently returned
from California to this place and vicin-
ity after an absence of from twelve to
eighteen months, most of whom bring
with them several thousand dollars in
gold. We have seen few fine speci-
mems of the dust" valued from $50 to
500 each.
1t was thought by many that after
the departure of so great a number of
California emigrants from this place
business would be remarkably duh.
Several mechanics left town through
fear that they would have nothing to
do if they remained Such, however,
is not the case. Quite a number of
buildings are now in the course of cree
ton and many are preparing to build
during the season.
We noticed on Monday last fleet of
ten or twelve prairie schooners anchored
about three miles from town. On Tues
day they made the first grand entry
into town and are now fairly com
menced in business, A large amount
of lead and copper, we understand, is
ready to be shipped and will give en-
ploy to a number of teams during the
season.
We are sorry to say that on Sunday
morning last our streets presented an
appearance poorly calculated to leave
upon the minds Of travellers who had
stopped to spend the Sabbath in our
village favorable impression as to the
good character Of the grown-up boys"
