Representatives Of all the locals Of
the twenty-seventh district OF the
United Mine Workers OF America,
which takes in all OF the state OF
Montana, are in session at Great Falls
this week. preparatory to the joint
conference with the coal operators
to agree on new wage scale which
commences Monday The present
wage scale agreement between the
miners and operators terminates on
September 80, and the new scale to
be agreed upon is to take effect Oc-
tober ! and continue in effect for
period of two years.
The representatives Of the various
miners unions convened at Great
Fails Wednesday and will be in ses-
sion the balance Of the week during
which time they will formulate their
demands, if there are to be any. to
be presented to the operators when
the two bodies meet in joint session.
The delegates from here who are in
attendance are as follows. Klein-M.
j. Finna, James McLauehlin Mine
No. adam Wilkinson Bob Condor,
Hugh Mccain. Val Bailey, Lucas

John King.
The operators are also in session
at Great Falls, convening today
James Needham of the Republic Coal
company, and J. Z. Woodland OF the
Roundup Coal Mining company. are
in attendance from here. The opera.
tors will select committee which is
to meet with similar committee
from the miners in joint conference
to agree on scale.
1t Is not known here what are the
demands Of the miners, and 1t is not
probable that they will be made pub
lie until the joint conference COM
mences. Until the demands of the
miners and the stand of the operators
is known definitely, 1t is difficult to
conjecture how long 1t will take until
new wage scale is agreed upon. Two
years ago when the conference was
held in Billings a settlement was not
reached until the very day the old
scale expired, and although the miners
had been notified to continue work
until an agreement was reached, the
miners here and at Red Lodge went
out one day At that time the miners
secured raise of three cents a ton
for pick and machine mined coal be-
sides other concessions. In the state
of Washington. after nearly month
OF negotiations, q wage agreement
was reached Monday of this week ac-
cording to which the miners secured
an advance in wages in excess of five
per cent.

The father writes that he wants
the boy to return home and make up
friends, and wants to assure him that
he will be sent to q nice boarding

that the lads mother is probably dead.
His father heard from him last beat

that he was going to an aunt and a

give any reason why he left home.

ATTEMPT MADE TO ROB
RYE0ArE STATE BANK
Ye0gmen Scared Away After Blow
ing OF Outer Door Of Safe.
Get No Booty.

An attempt was made last Friday
morning to blow up the safe in the
State Bank at Ryegate. The outer
door of the safe was blown off, but
before an attempt to blow the inner
door could be made the yeggmen were
discovered, the result being that they
had to leave before finishing the Job.
Entrance to the bank building was
gained by removing the screen from
the back window and breaking the
lock Of the door which leads to the
room in which the safe is located.
From all appearances the robbers
were expert safe blowers and had
made every arrangement for a sue
cessful robbery.
The shot was fired just as the 1880
a. m. Columbian pulled in and it was
evidently thought by the burglars
that the train would drown the noise
of the explosion. 1t happened. how.
ever, that the cashier of tn bank, Mr..
Then, met the train on that evening,
and he heard the explosion. He i'm
mediately went over to the bank, but
before he arrived the robbers had
escaped. It was found that the outer
door was completely blown off, and
that work on blowing the inner door
Of the safe had already been COM
menced. It 10 thought that the at.
tempt would have been successful
had 1t not happened that the cashier
of that bank happened to meet the
train ON this particular night.

ly notified. and when they learned OF
the attempted robbery 1t was practi.
cally useless to try to apprehend the
cracksmen.
This is the first attempt at safe
blowing ever made in this part Of the
state.

PRESIDENT TAFT WINS
COMMERCE COURT FIGHT

Washington, Aug. 21.-Presi-
dent Taft again vetoed today
the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, be.
cause it still carried an amend.
ment to abolish the commerce
court, which the house and
senate insist upon including
in the reframed measures. The
provision to limit tenure of
office of civil service employees
to seven years, which was an
additional reason for the pres
ident's first disapproval, had
not been included in the bill a
second time.
Within one hour after Presi-
dent Taft had vetoed the bill
for the second time, the house
today repassed it, 154 to So,
over his veto.
The legislative appropriation
bill failed of passage in the
senate over President Taft's
veto. The motion to repass the
measure received "a votes to
q in the negative; but Al
votes were necessary to over
ride.
Finally framed so as to meet
the approval Of President Taft
a new legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill
was passed by the house late
today. It eliminates the dis.
puted provision for abolishing
the commerce court, substt-
tuting for 1t an appropriation
for that tribunal until March 1.
