Butte, Aug. so, 10 p. M Especially D
The streets are black with miners, who
do not believe what is regarded as a
rumor around town that the militia
had been ordered to Butte. The news
papers are carefully refraining from
giving any publicity to Governor Stew
arts mobilization order, for fear that
the news might incite rioting and loot
ing and further destruction of prop
erty. Even the fact that a committee
of rs business men waited upon Gov
ernor. Stewart and urged him to send
the militia to Butte, has been with
held from the public because of open
threats of the miners to help them
selves to foodstuffs in the grocery
stores, warehouses and even to loot

he came to Butte to consult the zinc
mine operators here with a view to
establishing a zinc smelling plant
near Butte in the event that he strikes
gas in the Sweetgrass fields.
"As it is noW," said Mr.. Segur, "the
zinc products from Butte are shipped
to smelters in other states for treat
ment. In those states. such as Okla

which has much to do with success

to believe that we can keep this
smelling business in Montana if can
furnish the gas, and if we strike it,

within another month. l can pipe it
to Butte and furnish it cheap"
Mr. Segur states that of all his oil
holdings none looked so promising in
the beginning as does the Sweetgrass.

firmly convinced of its oil fertility

SAFETY FIRST meet
At DEER LODGE
SUCCESSFUL
FIGURES SHOWING THAT MUIR
les ON MILWAUKEE ARE RE
DucED, TO COMMITTEES

Figures. showing that the injuries
and number Of men killed on the Mil
waukee have been reduced by nearly
50 per cent since the safety first com
miftees have been in charge were in
rroduced Saturday at the regular
monthly sessions of the operating and
shopmens committees.
The sessions of the railroaders'
committees were held in Deer Lodge
From Missoula Superintendent +. E.
Willard and Chief Dispatcher John r.
tee members were present at both the
shopmen's and operators meetings
ones.
Willard and Phalen There.
Mr.. Willard and Mr.. Phalen re-
turned to Misseula yesterday after
noon on train No. II. They did not
care to make public the actual figures
read before the safety first committees
OF the Missoula division, but they de-
cIared that the reports We're most
pleasing to all interested in the safety
first work on the Milwaukee.
The good work being done by the
divisions is rapidly becoming apparent
and the men are taking an increased
interest in the work each month.
Benefit in Shops.
1t is, perhaps, in the shops of the
railroad company that the safety first
movement is doing the most good, ac-
cording to railroad men in close touch
with this phase of the safety first
work. In the shops, it is said the
employees work with the same ma
chimes in the same places every day,
year in and year out, and they become
so well acquainted with the machin-
cry that they get careless of it's power
and it's possibilities to inflct serious
injury. BY having the safety first
matter presented to them at all times
and from every angle. the shop men
become more careful of their friends
and fellow workers, the machinery,
and approach it with greater care.
The short cuts in the ways of doing
things are soon abandoned and the
men use the proper tools at the proper
times, instead of making one tool do
double service at the risk of losing an
arm or, leg.
Other Advantages Shown.
The meeting in Deer Lodge also
brought to light many other important
advantages being shown daily because
the safety first movement has been
properly received by the men ON the
Missoula division.
