COMPROMISE IS REACHED.
Hod Carriers Agree to Accept Offer
 of $500 a Day.

At a meeting of the masan tenders that body to accept the offer of the mason contractors of $500 a day, which was made as a compromise to their demands for $3.2O day. The acceptance contains a proviso that in the event of conditions remaining as prosperous next year the additional twenty cents will be granted. The $500 a day rate is for five and one half days and in case the contract tors ask the men to work Saturday after moons, time and a half is to be paid For all work performed before 8 o'clock in the morning and after 5 o'clock in the afternoon, double time is to be paid.
 Efforts are being made to effect compromise between the cOntrac ctOrs and the stone masons, in regard to the demands made by the latter for an increase from 50 to 57 1-2 cents an hour. These demands are not slated to go into effect until June 1. At the time of the presentation of the demands, the contractors refused to accede to them but both sides are hopeful that some satisfactory agree ment will be reached.
 The strike of the fathers continues but some of the men are working at the prices submitted to the contrac- tors. It was not so much the in crease was asked by these workmen, but the manner in which they went about it that caused the bosses to refuse to grant them. Everything appears to be satsfa ctory with the carpenters, bricl>layers and painters.

OLD FIRE HORSE
 BURNED TO DEATH
In Fire Which Destroyed Frank We. linski's Barn on Oak Street
 Early Today.

Two horses were burned to death, and third was so badly burned that it was necessary to shoot it to end it's misery at the fire which destroyed Frank Welinskis barn on Oak street shortly after 12:30 o'clock this morn- ing. ..#
 One of the animals which lost it's life was one of the black team driven for many years by the late Tom" Cross, the veteran driver at No. Eli zine company, and it was a queer trick of fate that the old beast should eventually die by the flames toward which for so many years he raced.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, but when the alarm was sounded the entire barn was a, mass of flames and it was impossible for the firesnen to go near it, so great was the heat. Two other horses in the barn at the time the fire was discovered were led out to safty The animals were owned by Edward Weinstein, son-in-law of the owner of the barn. The firemen did good work to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby barns and dwell- ings. The loss is over $700.

is coming to be a question as to
whether Of not the people and the
press Of Montana are to. have the
right to freely and fairly exercise the
inestimable privilege, guaranteed by
constitution and tradition, of decid-
ing their own affairs according to
the dictates of their own conscience
and of holding or expressing their
opinions freely.
If Mr.. Frank Collins has come to
Montana to run a SANDER mill and
show people who have lived here since
young man and womanhood, how to
perform with the latest wrinkles Of
v%ituperation, his mission is a poor
one and will not get much of a recep-
ton. To brand a group Of business
men such as those of Butte, as part
ners. of crime and indecency, because
they differ from Mr.. Collins and his
associates, in carrying things to an
outrageous length and those respon-
sible for such a campaign as "The
Paramount Issue" has started, should
blush when they contemplate their
unclean work.
It does not take much mental
achievement to call men and women
vile names and misrepresent their
lives. Mr.. Frank Collins has done

E US BE FAIR

A few IA very few of the news-
papers Of the Treasure State have
taken a most illiberal stand on the
coming prohibition campaign and
have gone so far as to BLACKBOARD
and malign the fair minded newspap-
er men and other citizens of the state
who are willing to let the question be
decided by honest controversy. A
recent editorial in the Helena 1nde-
pendent headed "Some Real Temper
ance Needed" takes a we'll timed fall
out Of one of the most vicious of these
malicious roorbacks. We believe
that every fair-minded man, whether
he is pro or anti, will coincide with
the views here set out and we take
the liberty to republish the article
in full:
Temperance in the use Of intoxi.
eating liquors is not the only sort Of
temperance which the real advocates
of this undying virtue should urge or
the people Of Montana. Apparently
there are some people in the state
not of the state, who should be more
temperate in the use of the English
language and in their intolerance anG
lack of respect for the opinions Of
others.
As has been pointed out by The In
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1916-05-05

dependent the people of Montana will
not stand for intolerance; they want
none of the political blackhand nor
business terrorism. In the present
campaign for and against state wide
prohition, the people of the
state want the parties concerned to
confne themselves to temperate rea-
soning and respect for each others
views on a question over which men
and women have honestly differed for
decades.
Under the guidance Of a former
Lincoln, Neb., lawyer and Chautauqua
lecturer-Mr. Frank Collins-the peo-
pie advocating prohibition have start
ed a paper at Billings which they call
1.-THE Paramount ISSUE"
If this paper was argumentative,
it would not receive attention from
The Independent, as this newspaper
is not going to debate the pro and
con Of the liquor question with anyone
or with any publication. but when peo-
pie come into Montana and begin a
campaign of villification such as "Thc
Paramount Issue" seem to be conduct
ing, it should be resented by every
newspaper in the state. Some of the
statements made about the people of
Montana who do not agree with Mr..
Frank Collins, constitute nothing less
than a criminal assault on the rights
of citizenship.
The statement that "No decent
woman in Montana will vote against
prohibition" is a libel on the woman
hood of the state. Thousands Of
women, whose characters and whose
minds are just as lofty as their SIS
tiers who may be opposed to the liquor
traffic, will vote against prohibition
because they have not been convinced
that it is the best thing for the state
To make such a sweeping statement,
is to seek to intimidate, and shows
a spirit of intolerance which reminds
people of the days when witches were
burned.
What is true of the women, is like
wise true of the men. To say "nt
decent man in Montana will vote
against prohibition" is altogether too
sweeping a statement. There arr
men in Montana who have helped
carve this wonderful state out of
wilderness and desert. Many of then
will vote against prohibition. The.
are men who themselves or theil

can combine, and who, moreover, can
be heartily supported by all indepen-
dent citizens, and particularly by all
independent Democrats who are 10y
al to the nationalism of Andrew Jack
son and who are prepared to put the
vital honor and interest of this nation
above all mere partisan considerations.
II hope they will choose a mar upon
whom all a unite and who, if elect
ed, we can be absolutely certain will
put the principles above set forth in
to actual effect in the government of
the country"
And if the Republican convention
chooses it's candidate, no matter who
he may be, al q body of men who
are patriots first and partisans after
ward, the party may look forward
with every confidence to a triumph

true Americanism.-Billings Gazette.

"Politicianizing'' is of more inter

Hundreds of candidates are out can

printed cards which they are circulat-
ing. Other enterprising office-seek-
ers have homemade placards pinned
on the trees with Vote for Johnny

legends.

stiff campaign in Chesney park with
Jeanette Dooley, the daughter of Mr..

are candidates for office. Frank Will

Enforced absence from the play
ground is the severest punishment ad-

from the play ground for three days in
addition. The punishment is too Sc
