Wednesday morning the burners at

refused and declared strike, which
resulted in almost the entire plant be-

pointed to wait upon the management
and assure them the burners would re-
main idle until the increase was grant
ed. Wednesday morning the meeting
was held and the situation was care
fully gone over and resulted in a
counter demand from the management
that the men return to work under old
conditions and prices, and at meet
ing of the Board Of Directors to be
held Friday evening their demands
would be acted upon. This the men re-
fused to do, claiming that if it was
necessary for the board of directors to
decide this question, they be called to-
gether at once.
Piece Work.
In conversation with, some of the
men affected it was learned that they
have been working on a piece work
basis of Is cents per 100 pieces, ex-
cepting extra large dish pans, which
pay 25 cents per 100 and using at this
plant a furnace to work that is small
and of the old pattern.
To overcome the handicap placed on
them by the old time furnace, a new
price list was necessary. They figure
an increase of 3 cents or Is cents. per
hundred for small and medium arti-
cles. with all large articles in proper
ton, would bring them earnings to
the level of burners employed at other
plants where modern furnaces are in
use.
Ia was learned that at this time
there was more than 10000 pieces on
the floor ready for burning and finish
ing. as
Affect ESQ Total.
The number of burners employed is
16 and each one employs a helper,
making 80 men involved. The wages
of both are divided, Sc 2-3 per cent go
ing to burner, and 3s 1-3 per cent to
helper The number of people affected
would be about $50 and while some de-
partments worked Wednesday, it is
expected that the plant will become so
congested in a day or so. If a settle
ment is prolonged, that complete sus-
pension will be necessary. All the en-
ployes of the plant are with the burn
ers, claiming the work is hard and ex-
ceedingly hot and as the demands are
just.
An early settlement is predicted.

/ Butte's fame as a mining center and
the high state of her mining develop
ment are in a measure the products
of the wonderful energy and power of
organization Of Marcus DAILY.
A native of Ireland, the son of poor
parents, Mr.. Daily came to America
when mere boy, and after working
in Brooklyn factory for a time, he
saved enough money to carry him to
California. From there he drifted to
NeVada's mining regions, and at Vir-
ginia City, around the famous old
Comstock lode he met Hearst, a
prospector like himself. and who was
later United States Senator Hearst
from California. The two men be-
came fast friends, and this friendship
stood DAILY in good stead in later
years.
1t was in 1870 that Mr.. DAILY arriv-
ed in Butte as representative of the
Walker Bros, of Salt Lake, and from
whom the town of Walkerville derived
its name. He bought for them the
Alice mine. retaining an interest for
himself. Later Mr.. DAILY sold his in
terest for 100000. The Alice develop
ed into a great silver producer and is
to be worked by the Anaconda COM
rany for zinc and copper
With the $4,000 stake" as a nu-
cleus, DAILY started an organization
for the purpose of acquiring the An
aconda mine, which had attracted his
attention. Here his friendship with
Hearst came in to good advantage.
Hearst had an agreement with ]. B.
Haggin and Lloyd Tevis, wealthy
lawyers of San Francisco, that he was
to be on the lookout for promising
mining properties, and he was to have
an interest in everything taken by
them on his recommendation.
Purchase of the Anaconda.
The proposition to buy the Anacon-
da with Mr. Daily having fourth in
terest was laid before them, but was
received coldly at first. Their engi-
reer had reported favorably on a
now forgotten property near Helena
and unfavorably on the Anaconda.
But Daily persisted that the Anaconda
was the better buy and his views fin

Mr.. Hickey is respected citizen Of
Butte today, and at a ripe age is still
hale and hearty.
Later the Daily interests acquired
the st. Lawrence and other large con-

hill and Mr. Daily became known as
the leading copper operator of the
world
OF those who originally got togeth-
er to take over the Anaconda, all are
now dead. Mr., DAILY passed away at
the height of his activities in 1900 j.
b. Haggin died about a year ago, and
Hearst and Tevis have joined the
great majority. Haggin, Hearst and
Teyis were made millionaires by the
Comstock. Haggin became known as
one of the greatest patrons of the

is known everywhere. Hearst's son,
w. r. Hearst. Is owner and publisher
of the greatest syndicate of newspa-

to one third the copper production of
the United States, With this nucleus
Henry II. Rogers, wonderfully bold
and cool manipulator set out to con-
troll the market. There was whirl
of speculative excitement The stock
was offered at public subscription on
May 4, 1899. through the National
City bank of New York The sub
scription books were open just two
hours, from 10000 a. m. until noon. In
that interval there were over $780,
000,0 subscribed to a company with
SIC, 100000 capitalization, afterwards
doubled. In other words Amalgamat-
ed received five times more money
than it asked for or could use Thus
in the closing year of the past cen
fury this country, in the most sub
stantial manner possible testified to
it's faith in the future of the coppers.
The effort to corner the market, how
ever, failed.

out of existence With the advent of
John d. Ryan to the presidency of
the Anaconda company, 1t has be-
come more of a seasoned and less of
