BOILER OF ENGINE ON EXTRA
FREIGHT ExPLODES-klLlS
ENGINEER AND CON

The engine pulling an extra freight
blew up last night at poiat about
100 yards east of the place where the
G. NJ. and p. s. intersects the Billings
& Northern, killing conductor r. D.
Goddard and Pete Gvaart and serious
ly injurAg fireman Mckenzie and
brakeman Wade. The cause of the
accident has not as yet been deter
mined, but an investigation Is now
being conducted and the reason will
probably be discovered. All the men
injured were rushed back to Lavina
where they were attended by DR..
Lubely OF Ryegate and DIR. Appleman
Of Lavina. Engineer Gvaart and Con-
ductor Goddard both died from their
injuries at 1890 last night. Firemen
Mckenzie was badly scalded and pro.
bably internally injured. while brake
man Wade sustained a broken leg. They
were both taken to LewistOwn to the
hospital, and 1t is expected that they
may both recover.
The engine and three cars were
completely demolished. The train car.
ried four cars loaded with about 500
hoboes bound for the harvest fields Of
the Judith Basin and not a single one
of them were injured in the least.
brakeman Wade was quite we'll
known here having lived here Tor some
time and his acquaintamces were
shocked to hear OF the accident.

Resolution Of Thanks Roundup Passed-Deegaes Return Home

raneements were under way for the
perfecting of the organization.
A resolution thanking all the citizens
of Roundup for the royal entertain
ment given them as guests and com
mending the local unions and their
committees for their efficient work
and unselfish effort in making all ar
rangements for the entertainment of
the convention was enthusiastically
passed.
The convention then adjourned until
the next meeting which will be held
in Helena during the fifth week of the
next session OF the State legislature.
In the afternoon. the delegates were
treated to an automobile ride to the
different mines and other points of
interest in the vicinity and all express
ed themselves as surprised at the
fine appearance of the country and the
progress that has been made here
during the last rev years.
Most Of the delegates left on this
mornings Olympian, and were bid
den farewell by large number OF
friends that they had made during
their tay in our city. The Record
wishes to say that their visit In Round
up was unmarried by any of the dis
agreeable incidents that are usually
induced by the presence of large
crowds, that we are proud of Roundup
for the manner In which the visitors
were cared for and proud Of the fact
that Roundup was given the oppor
tunity to entertain this assembllage OF
representative men and women.

up and discussed at some length, and
was later referred to the committee
on organization. The nom existence
OF "a local organization for painters
was also threshed over but no deci
sive conclusion reached.
| Practically all Of the session on
"Wednesday was devoted to a thoro
discussion of the workman's compen-
sation act, and it was finally decided
to- submit the question to a referendum
vote.
On Thursday morning lively and
highly interesting session was held,
when IA resolution favoring organiza-
tiOn by industry as against OrganiZa-
tion by crafts was introduced. Con
siderable antagonism was developed
against doing away with the old prac-
tice, and many speeches for and
against the resolution were made.
Ablest and most active as an exponent
of organization by Industries was NJ.
NJ. McCusker, secretary and treasurer
of the Peoples Power League, and a
delegate from the machinists union
of Livingston. In very able speech
he showed clearly the manifold ad.
vantages of organization by industries.
AS an example he cited the long strug-
gle of the machinists against combined
capital and their final defeat in many
of the states Of the Union. He cited
the apparent advantages of organiza.
tion by industries in the case of the
railroad employees of the country. and
| the overwhelming power they would
command II orgnized thoroly under
one industry. and while admitting
the possible dangers of abuse of so
much power and admitting the inner.
ent selfishness OF the desire yet claim
ed that the advantages to be derived for
labor and the exigencies OF the stu.
alton demanded the change The
resolution was finally adopted by an
Overwhelmingly majority vote.
| A cnvassing board was appointed
consisting OF the following men: w.
II. Morgan of Roundup, Jas. Shea OF
Butte and F. C. Murray of Great
Falls.
A constitutional amendment was
adopted that does away with the an
nual meetings and provides f0A a
meeting once every two years dur
ing the fifth week of each session OF
the legislature. The apparent advan
tage of this arrangement is that more
pressure can thus be brought to bear
upon the legislative body to advance
desired legislation.
An amendment to the constitution
was passed making it impossible for
member of union not affiliated with
the Montana Federation to be eligible
as a delegate to any state convention.

present for extemperaneous speeches.
What these speeches lacked in grace
was abundantly made up for in the
hearty good feelings expressed, and
in local take-offs. The Butte delega-
tion was prominent in the merrymak-
ing. as is usually the case when they
are led by Frank Bigelow. Mayor
Duncan made a speech which was we'll

of the local bar also unwound some

sion derived by the visitors was that

how to entertain.

is supposed that enough voters were
for one reason or another unable to
come to the registry Office to swell the
number to $50 when the registration
books are opened again tomorrow.
While it is Of course impossible to
predict with any certainty at this time,
the outcome of the election, from the
expressions heard there is little doubt
that the question will be voted upon
favorably. The majority of the people
understand that Roundup has passed
beyond the primitive stage as COM
muni.y and that the problem of sane
tion has assumed proportion that en-
titles it to weighty consideration.
Every citizen should make it his duty
tomorrow to see that those qualified
to vote at this election are registered
if they have to be taken to the office
and reminded of it.

The annual state convention OF Mon
tana Federation of Labor opened In
Roundup last Monday. Practically all
of the delegates were on hand ready
for the business of the meeting. The
entire city seemed to be in a holiday
frame of mind, due in part to the
presence cf the convention, partly to
the presence of the Allmann Street
Carnival Shows, and thoroly profit
able and enjoyable week was anticipat-
ed by every one. All plans for the
entertainment OF the visitors had been
completed, and the shortage of accom-
odations, SO common an occurrence in
caring for the large crowds, had been
practically overcome by the energetic
and efficient work of the local commit
tee on entertainment.
President NJ. NJ. Donohue called the
convention to order at 1O:30 a. m. on
Monday. An eloquent address of wei
come was delivered by the Rev. Paul
Burhans of the First Congregational
Church of Roundup. He dwelt at
some length upon the development Of
the human race, the evolution of So
ciety from a non-competitive basis to
the complex, competitive era Of the
present race. He affirmed that union
ism was the natural result Of the lab
Oring classes to combat the tyranny of
the master man who purposed to grind
them down and keep them in sub
lection. In closing, as token of
welcome he presented to the visitors
