STRIKE SETTLED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


pHTt'E Mont. July 3.-The Elec-
tricians union which had declared a
strike against the Montana Power com.
pany for an increase of 81 a day in
wages tonight rejected the company's
counter proposal and added to their
original demands. These demands are
that all sub station men who now are
members of the Engineers union must
become members of the Electricians
union and that all men now doing
what is called non-union work must
be discharged.
No time was set for the electricians
strike, the committee to confer again
with the company.
The men the union seeks to have
discharged are the superintendent,
foremen and company officials who
have been keeping the company's lines
in repair since the strike began.
AT the meeting tonight speeches were
made in favor of the electricians not
returning to work until the demands OF
the Metal Mine Workers union are
granted by the mining companies.
The Metal Miners announced that
they had responded to messages of
sympathy from the Bisbee, Arizona
Metal Mine industrial workers by stat
ing that the Butte miners will not re-
turn to work until the Bisbee miners
demands are granted.
The Metal Mine Workers union at
its meeting today adopted resolutions

new developments of a serious sort to
alter the present indications that the
strike has failed Following the Fourth
fully two thirds of the miners are ex-
pected to be at the shaftheads IN
their working clothes and carrying
lunch buckets.
One strong reason for this belief is
the receipt of kilograms by local union
men from President Meyer, telling
them that, The strike was not called
by any bona -fide labor organization.

So serious has the strike stu
alton become that Sheriff Armer
at a special meeting of the local
defense council swore in 400 bus
inessmen and citizens late this
afternoon to protect lives and
property, while the arrival of fed
eral troops is anxiously awaited.
After driving members of the
international Union of Mine. Mill
and SmeIter Workers from three
mines in the Copper Hill district
today, the Industrial Workers
held a great mass meeting on the
pleteiy shut off traffic to the
neart,y mining town their speak
ers asserted that the |. w. w.
was "n complete control of the
district" and that "Industrial lead
ers are kings of the mining sec
ton"
Owing to the fact that no men are
working in the mines at Miami there
is little but excitement there, as
scores of I. W. w. members are be-
ing transported to Globe on big
auto trucks to reinforce their pickets
at the Old Dominion mine.
Considerable feeling has developed
between leaders of the International
force and the /. W. w. workers who
refuse to let the International men
return to work in the copper hill
district mines which have come to
terms with the older union.
Tonight a terrific storm ragged for
several hours driving many of the
striking pickets to shelter but after
dark over 200 men reported for
picket duty clothed in waterproof
garments determined to remain on
the lines all night long.
Conditions in the Old Dominion
mine where there is a shortage of
pumpmen, were reported to be serious
tonight. The water is said to be
rising rapidly and it is reported that
unless all the pumps are manned to-
morrow the mine, one of the largest
copper producers in the world, will be
seriously damaged.
Old Dominion mine officials de-
clined to give out the height of wa
ter in the lower levels tonight but
said lit is hard to say what will hap
pen unless relief is obtained by to-
morrow morning" Pumpmen have
been working from 16 to % houl
shifts as it is impossible to run the
lines" with more men owing to the
great number of pickets completely
surrounding the property.

The governor left last night for Globe,
which is the particularly sore spot in
Arizona
There was further correspondence
between the governors office and the
department of labor and it's represent
atives yesterday. A message was re-
ceived from Joseph S. Myers, who had
been appointed conciliator for the de-
partment at Bisbee, where the situa-
ton now seems to be under the control
of the local authorities Mr.. Myers
said that his work at Houston in con-
nection with the threatened strike of
the shopmen of the International &,
Great Northern was finished and that
he would be ready to leave for Arizona.
He was advised by the governor to go
directly to Clifton, with which situa-
ton he is more familiar and where he
performed valuable service in the
strike a year ago last fall.
A telegram from the department of
labor said that Hon. John Mcbride Of
this city, who has been acting for the
government in the strike at Tooele,
Utah, had left Salt Lake for Arizona
and on the request of the governor he
will go directly to Globe. Mr.. Mcbride
is expected to arrive in the city this
morning.
An almost constant stream of tele-
grams and telephone messages from
Globe poured into the office of the gov
ernor describing the situation as con-
stantly growing worse. The strikers
had utterly defied the local authorities
and were preventing supplies from
reaching the pumpmen on the Old Do
minion. They made concession,
however in favor of ice for the COM
pany's hospital. A meeting of a citi-
zens committee was held yesterday
morning and in relation to it tele-
gram was received from J. Nj. Pur-
dunn, u Globe business man, urging

NO DISORDERS ARE
REPORTED FROM CLIFTON

CLIFTON, July 3.-Clifton, Mo-
renci and Metcalf continue to be
as quiet as before the strike was
called Sunday, although much less
busy. No efforts have yet been
made to put strikebreakers to work
in the mines of the three big cop
per companies, the strikers are re-
manning at home or off the streets
and normal conditions prevailed
here today. A statement by John
Donnolly. president of the state
federation of labor, saying the
strike would not have been called
had not the Arizona Copper com
pany and the Shannon Copper
company not declared that the
right of reinstatement of all
strikers would be forfeited, was is
sued late today.

BISBEE, July 3.-City officers, this
afternoon, in order to avoid possible
trouble in Bisbee, caused the crowds on
the two principal streets to keep NOV
ing. Fifty pickets of the Metal Mine

office to avoid arrest for blocking the

place during the day.
Over sixteen hundred men have
signed the pledge of the Workmens s

and nearly eight hundred held a meet

meeting to participate in the Fourth of

march in the parade in body. The

Tonight, at the usual time the Metal
Mine Workers branch of the l. W. w.
held its daily meeting at the city park.
In the mines throughout the district,
eighty men reported for work at the
various shafts who had not been at
work since the walk-out was called last
week.
1t was apparent, today, that the tele-

Bernard Baruch, member of the ad-

concerned.

"ATTABoY," THE BATTLE CRY
Familiar Baseball Term So Popular In
United States Has Found Way
to the Trenches.

There is one purely American cry
which was heard on the battlefields
of Europe before our first troops ar
rived there. 1t is the baseball yell,
"Attaboy," which is the brief and
sharp way Of saying "that's the boy"
This word may become the battle
shout. the rallying cry, the yell of
the charge when our boys go into
action. Certainly it has been fire.
quently used along the western front
from the channel to Switzerland and
also on the Italian front. Carried
abroad by English. French and Ital-
ians who lived in the United States,
but who returned when the war
broke out. this distinctly baseball ex-
preston has often been echoed in the
trenches.
American newspaper correspond.
ents visiting the front in Flanders
and in the snow-buried Italian Alps
have time and again been greeted by
this word. 1t was like message
from home and was intended to let
the visitors know that some one from
home was there doing his bit. 1t has
been cry Of recognition and well
come.
All baseball fans are familiar with
this word made famous by Hugh
Jennings, and doubtless a majority
Of them firmly believe he coined the
expression. Perhaps he did, although
it is stated on fairly good authority
that it came into use in the days Of
"Pop" Arson. But it was Jennings
who fastened it upon the public
mind, and Jennings always will be
associated with popularizing it,

MRATLESS AND MHEATLES

Did YOU ever stop to think
what this econonalzlng of meat
and flour means. In the United
States there are about 100, 0OO, ).
coo people. Just for a rough
kgure take it for granted that
each one of these people eats
the same amount of meat as a
soldier, SO by having just one
meatless day over the whole
United States it will provide
meat for 100000 soldiers for
100 days. This figure is perhaps
y little high as children will not
eat as much as men, but say
that the meatless day will pro-
vide meat for the soldiers SO
days, the results are enormous
even at that. We can do much
in that way to help our country.
