COMP PAN|ES FAIR
DECLARE METAL
TRADES COUNCIL
Action Helps to Clear the In
dustriaI Situation in
This District.

The Metal Trades council of Butte
last night adopted resolution de-
claring all the mining companies of
the district fair. This action was
taken after reports had been received
from a majority of the unions included
in the council. These unions had re-
fused to sanction a strike against the
mining companies now operating and
in view of the position of the unions
at Great Falls and Anaconda, in re-
spect to the strike, left no other course
open.
While the Metal Trades council was
in session last evening Electricians
Union No. 65, a member of the metal
trades. also met with the intention of
taking a strike vote. As matter of
fact, the vote was not taken. When
the council adopted it's resolution de-
claring the companies fair the electri-
clans followed suit. The vote by the
electricians was practically unani-
nous and the course taken was urged
by some of the men who had been
most radical in times past.
Union men and the public in gen.
eral see much in last nights action
to encourage the feeling that the way
will soon be open for a resumption of
work in Butte and Anaconda The
fact that the engineers had declined
to vote, that the electricians did not
vote. and that the blacksmiths, boiler
makers and machinists failed to sup
port the proposition to strike. indi-
Gated that the metal trades were dis
posed to let matters take their natural
course.

with animated pride and satisfaction as
watched these young men cheer on depar-
ture. When the order came for Is men TO
go to Camp Lewis the number applying

These young men seem like brothers
now. We have had the duty of choosing
and sending them. You can't imagine the
pull it made at our heartstrings when we
saw them bid goodbye to Their mothers.
We will follow every one of them and we
will take pride in their successes as if they
we're uor own brothers. Stephen Kelly
