LEAVING BUTTE
Five Thousand Workmen May Strike
and Add to the Troubles
of the Western
City.

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. "A strike
OF five thousand members OF the
ibuilding trades unions, the shut down
OF the few independent mines which
SO far have survived the general shut
down and new and serious complica-
lions in the labor situation due to
the governments proposed fixing or
copper prices faced Butte today.
The painters are prepared to strike,
and the entire building trades coun-
ell stands behind them, ready to call
a general strike. Five thousand men
will be affected by a general strike
order.
The metal trades council will vote
Friday to decide whether the general
shutdown is a lockout or a walkout.
If they decide the shut down is lock
out-and it is likely they will-they
will probably strike. The independ-
ent mines will be forced to shut down
in this event.
The fact that the government plans
to fix, the price of copper at 20 to 221s
cents a pound has complicated the
situation.
With copper at twenty cents, the
miners would get only $3.50 da'
under the wage schedule recently an
nounced by the Anaconda company.
Even If the copper price is set at
22A cents the men will get only
S475. They want Sc.
A long shut down is generally pre-
dicted, unless the government takes
control of the mines. The companies
have brought mules. horses and ma
chinery to the surface and have pu'
their properties in condition TO-
months Of idleness. It Is declare"
here that the companies viii make no
effort to reopen their propert'""
til next March, unless the govern
ment steps in.
The population of Butte has been
greatly reduced since the strike be-
gan, Thousands of men have left
for the harvest fields and other min
ing camps.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Congress
today took first steps toward search
ing investigation Of defective ammuni-
ton shipments to General Pershing.
A resolution introduced by Representa-
tive McLemore was passed, calling up
on Secretary of War Baker to furnish
all facts on the subject.
ITO is necessary" McLemore said,
so tina, the great outrage may be ex-
posed: that the blame may be placed
where it properly belongs; that it may
be the means Of preventing the recur-
renee of such dastardly actions and
that the American people may know
the truth regarding the ammunition
for which they are paying"
General Crozier's request for a war
investigation was a
scheme to whitewash the whole incl
dent, McLemore asserted.

Secretary Baker" he said, II shall in
troduce another resolution calling for
an investigation by congressional

George j. Kelly, itinerant, unordained

with the murder of eight persons at

mission that he killed Joe Moore, Mrs.
Moore, the four Moore children and
