When asked whether the commits

officially by comforting with the bar

had decided upon no action In the
matter at all.
Nearly Seventy at Board
Nearly seventy well-known attor-
neys of the Dauphin county bar and
their guests gathered round the great
horsesh oe- shaped banquet board in the
auditorium of the Board of Trade
building. The great hall never ap-
peared to better advantage. To stage
and gallery railing festoons of yellow
and white bunting were suspended
from a giant rosette in the ceiling.
Clusters of electric lights here and
there helped immensely in the deco
rative scheme, while additional color
was given to the tables by the flowers.
The ices were served in tiny satin
boxes bearing the seal Of the bar asso-
citation and the dinner cards were held
in the beaks of aggressive little roost-
ers at each plate. The menu card was
an exceptionally beautiful souvenir of
several pages.
The startling feature of the menu,
of course, were the sepia views of a
courthouse such as Harrisburg and
Dauphin county should have. A front
elevation, showing the Jail in the rear,
and two sepia views of the floor plans
of the ninth and tenth stories, COM
prised the series of views.

to become a wife. Only by faithful
experience under the God-planned re-

can any woman bespeak worthiness
as wife. This is not a matter of
sentiment, but of divine order and
arrangement, as surely as that the

obedience, and reference was made to
the recent ruling of an English court
regarding the promise to obey in
the marriage ritual. Obedience" de-

LETTER TO EDITOR
THE BUTTE MINERS

III LIZ - NiN~NS
Editor Day Book:-The article in
The Day Book of the I'd inst, Civil
War in Butte Miners Ranks" does
not, in my opinion, explain the situa-
ton. - --.s -->.
While do not question that your
motive in publishing the article is the
best, the tenor of the same does the
workers who are involved a great in
justice. ..
There is no gainsaying the fact
that the employers, not only in Butte
but elsewhere, will always take adj
vantage Of any discord within the
ranks of the workers. The tone of
your article, however, leaves the i'm
preston that the blame for this ad-
vantage accruing to the employers
must of necessity fall upon the work
ers who rebel against corruption
within their organization.
The truth of the matter is quite
contrary to any such conclusion.
When the officials of an organization,
in their zeal to prove their worth to
the employers, conduct the affairs of
an organization so that the members
are injured to the extent that the re-
sentiment against their own organiza-
tion-or rather, their efforts to
straighten out the affairs of their or
ganization-for injuries suffered
leads them to revolt en- masse, the
blame must fall altogether on the Of
ficialdom and not on the members.
It is the officials and not the members
who are making it possible for the
employers to profit from division in
the ranks of the workers.
The miners of Butte have suffered
a long train of abuse and betrayal
from the officials of the Butte Miners
Union, officials who have been elect
ed and kept in Office through the
manipulation of elections, fraud and
corruption engineered by the mining
companies agents within the union,

Butte. This is the initial step toward
blacklisting all undesirable workers
those who strive for better condi-

union voted II to against working
under that system of employment.
But through the officials of the local
the card system was put in opera
ton in spite of the membership.
Once in operation the officials of
the local worked hand in hand with
the company in eliminating the unde-
sirables. Any member who opposed
the corruption of the local officials
was obhgingly kept out of work, or
at best but allowed to work short
time by the company official who
dealt out the rustling. cards.
The accounts of the union. were

members were told that the rats had
got into the safe and destroyed the
money.
When the regular election for Of
ficers took place the membership
found that the judges of such cleo
ton were picked by meeting packed
with company supporters and ruled
by thug methods. Necessity forced
them to meet the company element
at their own game-force. 1t is to
the credit of the members that they
had the necessary backbone to give
them success.
In the past the officials of the w.
F. M. have paid no heed to the ap-
peals from the members, notwith-
standing the fact that the constitu-
ton of the organization gave them
ample power to interfere and pre-
serve the integrity of the organiza-
ton. But when the workers,

act in self-preservation and are sue

an alligator which measured eleven
feet, five and one-half inches, and l
want to tell you he sure is a whopper.
He was on Mr.. Vaughn's farm, wno
raises pigs, SO he was very glad to
have it killed as the alligators are
very fond of pigs. Mr.. Vaughn and
Haven Brigham have been on the
watchout for it for two or three
weeks now, and Haven was as excit-
ed as a school boy yesterday. He
came rushing back to tell about it
so Is of us took the three launches
and went over and then we had half
mile walk from where we landed
and we all were surprised to see such
a large animal. They put a rope
around its head and horse at the
other end of the rope, but the horse
could not pull it ON dry land SO they
mad to roll the gator off in the wat
er and draw it around the bank to
where the colored gentleman was go
ing to skin it. 1t had many pieces of
turtle shells inside of it larger than
my hand; there would be a fair size
wash pan full of them, and the flesh
under the skin was as white as chick
en- breast-and as cold as tho it had
been on ice. And the hide is a beau
ty. Many people have come here to-
day in autos, TO look at it. think
you will think enough has been said
when I tell you that Henry and N.Y.
self have pust been eating some of the
alligator steak which we pronounce
very fine.
