Brown of the Rocky Mountain Fuel
Company. have been in conference this
week and stated that an announcement
OF their decision would probably be
made early next week. A statement by
their leading attorney. Frank Cove, that
"a plan similar to the one submitted by
President Wilson had been under con-
sideration and that the operators were
only awaiting the return of Governor
Ammons from his Grand county ranch
20 make il public" would seem to indi-
cate they are paving a way TO let them
selves down as easily as possible in ac-
eepting the Presidents plan.
While no intimation is given OF what
President Wilson would do in event the
operators rejected the proposition. the
natural inference is that he would take
charge OF the mines and operate them
until such time as the operators agreed
to the truce terms.
At any nate, there is very hopeful
feeling all around that the long drawn
out struggle Is soon TO come TO an end,
and that the way will be made for a
complete rcadInstment of the industrial
situation in this state

Union Is as follows;

ANTI TRUST BILL
PASSES in SENATE
Exempts Labor Unions From
the Sherman Law
Vote Was " for and II Against. and
Now Goes to Conference on Amend
ments: Great Victory for Labor

Late Wednesday afternoon of last
week, by vote of a. to IL. the Senate
passed the Clayton bill, previously
adopted by the House. The Senate made
several amendments and declared in the
clcarcst language possible for labor's
contention that there Is difference be-
tween persons and things.
by a unanimous vote il was agreed
TO amend the bill to read; The labor
of human being j. not commodity
or article OF commerce"
This is complete Endorsement OF the
WORKERS position and has been the con
tcntion of the American Federation of
Labor ever since the Sherman antitrust
law was enacted, nearly quarter of a
century ago.
The House provision dealing with
picketing was stricken out by a Senate
committee with the understanding that
it would permit trcspass. II was re-
inserted in the bill on motion of Scna-
tor Cummins on the Senate floor with
the consent OF the Senate committee. in
an altered form, which permits workers
10 be at any place where they have a
lawful right to be.
Both branches of the national legisla-
ture agree that nothing in the antitrust
law shall be construed to forbid the ex-
istcncc aud operation of labor. agricul-
tural or horticultural organizations, nor
can thcsc> organizations or members be
held to he illegal combinations or con-
spiracics in restraint of trade under the
antitrust laws.
To emphasize their views on the
question of labor's rights. the Senate
adds: "Nor shall any of the acts speci-
tied in this paragraph be considered or
held to be violations of any law of the
United States"
The bill marks the end of so-called
labor iniunctions." which have been is
sued ON the theory that il workers quit
their employment or induce others to
quit. they can be restrained. because
such actions Injuries property
No injunction shall be issued in Ia
Dor dispute unless necessary to prevent
irreparablc injury, for which there is no
adequate remedy at law. This is the
position of the American Federation of
Labor.
As these features Of the bill have been
agreed to by the House IL is safe to as
sumo that the long struggle of the
American Federation of Labor for
human liberty Is nearing It's triumphant
end, and the political policy of the trade
union movement has received its most
pronounced Endorsement.

wears had maintained peace and good

and officers with warrants for their ar

This week the l2 copper mining COM
panies operating in the Butte district
declared that heneeforth no union would
be recognized and that open shop" con-
ditions would prevail. Thus. after being
recognized for over 80 years as the best
organized community in America, with
union conditions and peace prevailing in
all branches of industry, the l. W. W.
dynamiters have wrecked all this and
brought about situation that must
prove disastrous to labor. Ten thousand
miners are directly affected and will no
doubt eventually be compelled to accept
reduction OF wages and lengthening OF
hours

hopes even of its makers and hackers.
Commissioner Haines of the state bu-

Utah was the first state to adopt such
a measure. II has aroused country wide
interest among students of social, Geo.

With publicity as its chief weapon,
the commission has collected nearly
s. .ooo in back wages due girls who had
been receiving less than the minimum
wage. About 500 cases OF alleged vio-

take only six into court. Five were

The Country Has Grown

There have been remarkable developments in country within the last fifty years One daY last week barber Cleveland. Ohio, retired after a service in the same shop since 1860 He had shaved 200 900 faces and had the hair from 100 900 heads In this of the faces and heads may have been included more than once. and they probably were if the work Of the barber was satisfactory. That it must have been sat1siactorS is evidenced by the circumstance that John D. Rockefeller in the early days patron of the shop and paid the barber 10 extra for shave That was in the days of MT. Rockefellers reckless youth before he really began laying the foundation for that modest competence which insures him against penury. But for his lordly tips to the bar Der he might rank among our eXcruciatlngly wealthy men, Those tips seem the more prncely when we understand that the price of d shave at that time was cents a hair cut, dime

This budget of outrages is said to have been committed by large group of our best citizens half dozen of whom have been arrested, the city marshal among them. The conspiracy and attack said to have been inspired from the pull pit and by the jibes of the members of the Womans Club who wondered if there was such d thing as manhood in Monrovia. They thought not, since the editor permitted to remain there.
 The minister whose utterances said to have instgated the attack denies that he had in mind personal assault the editor when he said that he ought to be driven out of town before the foi- lowing Saturday night The city marshal. who ad- mits he member of the attacking party and is under arrest, said he would not have been present if he had suspected that violence was he exercised. He thought that only moral suasion contemplated The other conspirators, who have said anything at all said that their feelings stampeded by weekly castigation of the editor had escaped beyond control.

In an article in the Century The Celtic Tide Professor Edward Alworth Ross in comparing alien strains in this country. makes the curious assertion that those of Irish blood far from manning their share of the responsible posts in American society," This sweeping generalization the prevailing opinion.
 Merely the roll call, the Governor of New York is of Irish blood. So is the Mayor the city of New York So is the junior United States Sen ator from New York and is the Collector of the Port of New York Surely these al responsible posts. The Governor of Massachusetts the Mayor of Boston. whose term expired last month, and the present Mayor are Irish. The junior United States Senator from New Jersey is Irish. So is the Gov ernor of Illinois and is the secretary dent.
