MOYER TO GET OUT
PRESIDENT OF WESTERN FEDER-
ALTON OF MINERS is NOT
ENDORSED

Butte, Mont, Dec. PA movement
has been launched by Butte Miners
Union No. / to remove Charles Fl.
Meyer, head of the western Fedora
ton of Miners, together with other
federation officials, who, it is claim
ed in the petition that has been sent
to all organizations in the federation,
"are so thoroughly hated and despised
by all persons, regardless of craft or
calling in the county of Silver Bow,
and especially so by the miners Of
Silver Bow, Mont, that your peti-
tioner feels and knows that it will
be impossible to ever build up its or
ganization and take its former place
among the industrial organizations of
the United States as long as the said
parties above named are in an, man
ner controlling or directing, either di-
rectly or indirectly, the affairs of the
Western Federation of Miners"
Charges of a decidedly scathing
character are made against Meyer
John G. Lowney and Guy 3. Miller,
in the petition, which is signed by the
union and by Acting President Martin
Scahill. The petition declares the
riot at which the UNIONS hail was par
TALLY destroyed was caused by oppres-
siYe assessment, which many refused
ID pay, and adds that the presence OF
Meyer in Butte after the riot ''in-
flamed the miners and others inter
ested in increasing the disturbance to
such an extent that the hall was at
tackled again." It also charges that
Meyer and Lowney fled from the city
OF Butte, and from Helena tried to
get wrongful control of the money and
property of the Butte union. The pc
tition also states that the members
were assaulted, mobbed beaten up.

Lowney and Miller with being "the
plant tools Of said Meyer and are ex-
erting every endeapOr to carry out
his corrupt orders, to disrupt, disband
bankrupt your petitioner"
The petition adds that ''ror tie pur

the methods employed by legal
reserve companies in doing their
best to make settlements with
licyholders. A Kansas man
died in the central part of the
state on January Is, 1909. He
had taken insurance in the sum
of 81, 900 in February, 1902, and
had paid his premiums until 1905
when, either for lack of funds or
because he had changed his mind,
he discontinued paying premiums
Among his papers after his death
a policy was found, but the fam
lily, knowing nothing had been
paid on it for four years, burned
it with a lot of rubbish as WORTH
less. A few months ago know.
ledge of the death accidentally
came to the company's represen.
tatives in Kansas and the matter
was taken up with the family.
The father of the deceased pro-
tested that the policy had been
lapsed for years, and added that
he had burned it. 1t was pointed
out to him, however, that the
policy had a non-forfeiture pro-
vision, extending the face of the
policy for a term of years after
payments were stopped, and that
as a matter of fact it was in force
when the man died. Because
the policy was burned, the family
was told, would make no differ
ence. The claim was paid in
full. The family now knows
more about non-forfeiture pro-
visions.
