COURTS CONTROLLED BY
ANACONDA COMPANY
COMMISSION IS TOLD
Governor Stewart Testifiss Labor
Conditions In Montana Arc Better
Than EIsewhere-outside In
fluenoe Cause Strife.

Butte, Mont. Aug. 10.-Charges that
the Anaconda Copper Mining company
controls the courts of this county
caused a heated session of the federal
relations commission today.
Lowndes H. Maurey, former socialist
city attorney, made the allegations. He
admitted that he accepted many per-
sonal injury cases against the company
and In the same breath he asserted a
compensation law that would drive out
of business attorneys who accept such
practice would be beneficial to working
men.
Il always tell clients that If a. case
against the Anaconda Mining company
goes to ria there is no chance Of a
verdict" he said.
Maurey alleged that one Judge was
given a position by the company after
retiring from the bench and another
was offered a ST, 5000 fee, which had been
election. He also avered the company
first controlled jury drawings and later
exerted Influence among jurors and
witnesses.
L. @. Evans. chief counsel for the
company. vehemently. denied that ac-
cusation. He said the Judge was given
a position on his merit a year after he
had been retired from the bench. "The
allegations have been made by Mr..
MaureN to advance his business" he
said. Socialists and others who crowd
ed the hearing room laughed at some Of
Mr.. Evans denials until the commits
sioner raped the hearing to order.
Governor Stewart Testifies.
Local labor disturbances cannot be
taken as an indication tat there Is
general dissatisfaction among organ
lied working men of the state, accord
Ing to the testimony OF Governor Stew
art before the federal Industrial rela-
tions commission today.
Disturbances here were caused SOLE
~ by outside influences" he declared.
There is no state in the union where
organized labor is as well satisfied as
in Montana.",
The attitude of employers coward I'M
ployes he described as very friendly
and also declared that the rapidly
growing agricultural interests were on
the best terms with union labor.
Discussing the state militia the gov
ernor said in case of labor trouble he
would call out troops only as a last
resort, and then only to protect life
and property. He added that he
thought federal troops, If called In,
would quell rioters quicker than local
troops, because of the natural desire Of
men to combat a state militia.
A national board of arbitration with
power to settle differences between
capital and labor would be a good
thing. the executive declared.

grand duchy in 1900 was 236,543, Of
which 20,92S lived in the capital city Of
Luxembourg.
A treaty signed by the powers in
1867 guaranteed the independence Of
Luxembourg. with the provision tina II
should remain forever a neutral state.
Dispatches say that Germany has of
ficially assured the Luxembourg min
lister OF state that no hostile act
against the grand duchy is contem-
plated, but that Germany Is merely
making a necessary passage through
the grand duchy, and is taking meas
ures to protect its railroad, which is
regarded as a part of the German a
tional system. Full indemnity is
promised for any damage which may
be done.
AS Luxembourg has no army, and as,
IL 1t had one, the Germans could over
power it with no difficulty, there is
nothing for the Luxembourg folks to do
but to sit tight.

Germans, is on the frontier and less
