The general disturbances will fol-

The general disturbances will fol-
low the law of storms, that is, de-
velOp in western regions and pass
over the country, progressively from
west to east, followed Immediately
on the west by high. barometer and
change to unusually cold for this
time of year.
A reactionary storm period lies at
the entrance of Mercury period,
with possibly the Venus influence
still holding control on the 18th.
18th and 18th The Moon is at
greatest south declination and last
quarter at this time, which fact will
induce wind currents from northerly
regions, and after low barometer
cloudiness and rain, the period will
eliminate in snow, rising barometer
and sharp cold for the season. The
Mercury influence, blending with
Earths equinox nearing it's center
will most probably cause a long
hard spell of threatening, if not
stormy weather, at this time.
A regular storm period is central
on the 22nd, the central day of the
Earth Vernal equinox, and within
two days of the center Of Mercury's
equinox. The Moon is on the equa-
tor on the 18th and in apogee and
Few On the 26th This period prom
ises to bring time of prolonged and
general storminess, with two or
three violent paroXyms of rain and
wind, eliminating in widespread and
destructive sleet storms. A depend
able barometer should be within
reach, and its indications noted con-
stantly and with care, during all the
disturbances of this and other March
periods. With high temperature,
winds from southerly directions, and
barometer much below normal, dan
gerous, tornado storms are liable to
appear at any time during this per-
iod. AS counterparts to violent
tropical storms at this time look for
sudden and violent reversion to high
barometer, heavy snow and sleet,
high winds from the northwest, and
changes to sharp cold for March. The
time of the greatest probable vio-
lence and danger will be on and
touching the 23rd, Gath and 25th.
The new Moon, or conjunction of the
Moon with Earth and Sun on the
26th will prolong low barometer,
high temperature, and tendency to
electrical storm, quite up to the re-
dictionary period Immediately follow
ing. We freely confess that this
last period for March is difficult to
diagnose, but it is safe to say that a
commingling of tropical and boreal
storms are almost certain-storms
of more than ordinary persistence
and intensity, all attended and fol-
lowed by wintery, bleak and discOm-
forting condition of the elements.
A reactionary storm period will
come close on the heels of the pre-
ceeding disturbances, causing the
prolonged unsettled conditions to
break into storms of rain, turning to
snow northward, on and next to the
9th, 2Sth and 20. Clearing, colder
weather as March goes out.

What Hicks Promises in the Way OF
March Weather.

A reactionary storm period is cen
trail on the 4th, 9Th and 9Th. The
regular storm period, however, CEN
trail on February 9th, reaches at
least two days into March, and
storms of rain, wind and snow will
be passing western to central Sec
lions of the country up to the End.
"A change to much colder, rising bar
Ometer and clearing weather will
follow these storms reaching the At
lantic seaboard about the Bird and
4th. On and touching the 4th. 5th
and 9Th, reactionary disturbances
will develop and run their course
over the country from west to east.
it will surprise and enlighten you
mometer etaoin aoi h taoin DIN DIN
to see how your barometer and Their
imometer and hygrometer will re-
spond to the cosmical influences that
lie behind all these storm periods
and their varied phenomena In
creased solar intensity causes a rise
in temperature and this in turn is
followed by atmospheric humidity,
changes in barometric pressure, and
electrical and magnetic potentlalit-
les. These forces accumulate. rise
storms, violent changes in weather
conditions, and earthquake distur-
Dances. OF all the appliances known
to science, the barometer is the one
thing Of greatest worth in foretell-
ing the on-coming and the Intensity
of storms and other disturbances. Be
hind the storms of rain and snow
about the 4th, 5th and 9Th, look for
rising barometer, clearing weather
and much colder for three or four
days
A regular storm period, and one
that should excite apprehension and
watchfulness, is central on the 18th,
and extends from about the 9th to
the 18th. This period is coincident
with the annual period of maximum
electric and magnetic unrest, grow
ing out of the peculiar relations of
the earth's magnetic pole to the Sun.
The Moon is also in opposition to
Earth and Sun and at an eclipse
node on the 18th. and on the celes-
tial equator and in perigee on the
18th. Phenomenal manifestations
of natural, free electricity and mag
netism, in the way of earth currents,
aurOrial lights. magnetic perturba-
lions, thunder storms and earth
quakes, are among the probable
things to expect each year, within a
period of about fifteen days, taking
March the 18th as the central day
of the period. Magnetic instru-
ments, electrical machinery, and tele-
graphic appliances are often incom-
NODDED and disabled by phenomenal
excess of these forces at this March
period. A maximum of such distur-
Dances is probable at this period.
Along with these phenomena, we
venture to admonish the public that
wicked equinoctial storms are rea-
sonably probable, on and touching
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
the 11th. 18th and 18th. Keeping
this warning in mind, and watching
barometer and other meteorological
indications at the time, all may be
in readiness for the most distressing
and violent types of storms-al the
way between tornadoes from the
south and billiards. from the north.

Butte. Mont.-The Butte Mine Work
ers' Union issued a statement through
its executive committee in reply to the
statement of the mining companies of
Butte that recognition would be denied
either the Western Federation OF
Miners or the Butte Mine Workers
Union.
so far as the Butte Mine Workers
Union knows" says the statement,
'the companies that signed this state
ment denying recognition were not
called upon to take sides in the con-
troversy: on the contrary, representa-
tives of the all.included mine octopus
known as the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company assured the execu-
tive committee OF the Butte Mine
Workers union that they stood posi-
lively neutral and would take no hand
in the matter OF the jurisdiction OF the
underground workers. How well they
fulfilled their policy as stated to the
executive committee has been well ex-
emplified in the activities of this com
pany during the last ten days"
The contention of the companies
that recognition is to be denied both
factions because the radical action
taken by the mine workers was such
that mining operations could not be
conducted is denied. the mine workers
declaring the accusations of the opera
tors ''are not specific and there has
been vast army of good. experienced
miners ready to carry on mining oper'
ations.''
"A joint committee of the Trades
and Labor Council and the Butte
Business Mems Association has Sc
cured data showing that a miner in
this camp with family OF four could
not live on less than 500 month; so
II is quite evident that the mining
companies cannot do other than pay
that amount to Its employees"

House Leader Underwood, Chairman

VARDA.M||.AN| BOASTS
 PRESIDENT WILSON
Denounces One Man Rule of the Party Insists We Have Right to
 Exempt Our Shipping.

WASHINGTON, June 4.--Senator Vardaman of Mississippi today se- verely criticised President Wilson for his policy regarding the repeal of the exemption to American shipping through the Panama canal. The southern senator said that such pol icy spelled ruin for the Democratic party and that the one man in control of the party had become greater menace to public interests than the old boss rule so much despised by the people.
 Senator Vardaman claimed that we had built the canal, were forced to maintain it at loss, that the Ameri-- can taxpayers must pay for the op- eration of the canal and that we have the right to regulate the prices and exempt our coastwise shipping.
