EVERY BUTTE Mine
WILL CLOSE BY NIGHT
$4,000 Men Will Be Thrown
Out Of Work by Smelter-
mems Strike

Butte, Mont, Aug. 24.-Every shaft
in the Butte copper mining district will
be closed by nightfall and approximate
ly fifteen thousand men thrown out of
work because of the smeltermen IS
strike which at noon today forced the
shutdown of the Anaconda smelter.
The Butte mining district will be
closed as tight as drum before tomor
row morning.
Today's development is distinct
victory for the striking Metal Mine
Workers Union. That organization
has been endeavoring to tie up the dis
trict for weeks.
The Great Falls smelter will close in
a few days when ore already mined is
treated
The Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany announced this afternoon that
the shutdown of the smelter at noon
and of the mines tonight was due to
the strike at the Anaconda plant. The
Anaconda Smelter alone employees 2400
men.
1t is generally predicted here that
the shutdown today will force the gov
ernment to take a hand in the situa-
tion. Government control of the mines
and smelters is predicted within few
days, many say.
Miss Jeanette Rankin, Montana
eongresswoman, who came here to in
vestigate the labor troubles, is an ad-
vocate of government Intervention.
Copper is necessity in the manu-
facture of munitions and Butte pro-
duced one fifth of all the copper mined
in the United States.
The strike of the Anaconda smelter
men began yesterday morning. One
third of the men failed to report for
work. The number of strikers is said
to have been materially increased this
morning when an effort was made to
run the plant.

Raise $2,35O,OOO,OOO

Washington, Aug. 24.-While the SEN
ate tentatively agreed today to double
the two per cent normal income tax on
corporations, Senator Trammell, Flor.
ida, prepared to press an amendment to
the revenue bill to raise the exemption
for married and unmarried men.
In this way, he said, the senate
could meet the growing demand from
the country for conscription of wealth.
Thousands of letters and kilograms
were received by senators today urg.
ing that those who can best afford to
pay the larger share should bear the
cost of war.
Trammell would fix exemptions at
$4,000 for unmarried men and $4,000
for married men as against $1,000 and
$4,000 respectively in the finance com
mittee s bill and $4,000 and $4,000 in
the existing law.
"My amendment would give young
men starting out fair chance and
would save married men of moderate
means from an unbearable burden in
these times of high living cost" said
Trammell.
Senator Kenyon, Iowa, said:
"The rich must be made to pay the
5000, 100000 which the committee bill
would exact in taxes on tea, coffee and
sugar and through other consumption
taxes.
The plan subscribed to by many
friends of the committee measure and
" "eonseriptionists" is as follows:
Elimination of all consumption taxes.
Like Hollis Amendment.
Increase the amount to be raised by
the bill to $2,3OO,O0O, 200.

the special value of teaching thrift
to the children of the United
States. Childhood is the time
when habits are formed and char
acters nodded. A child who is
thrifty is most likely to be success
full He may never reach the

A thrifty man is always success

Therefore, when we teach thrift to

going to hold our own among the

Therefore, it is Of the greatest
importance that we begin laying

taken steps which eventually will
mean the introduction of thrift in
our public schools in connection
with a number of other branches.
1t eventually will mean changes
in our text books and in the vari-

1t will mean that children will
study arithmetic with thrift ap-
plication without losing any math-

they will begin to study the lives
of Americans who have made good
in a large way in the business

said Senator King, Utah, heretofore
supporting the committee bill.
He predicted passage of the amend
ment introduced by Senator Hollis, in
creasing sur taxes on incomes to pro-
vide 5000, 100000 more than is raised
by the committee bill.
Numerous senators who yesterday
voted against LaFollette's s amendment

appealing to all factions in the right.
Senator Simmons, in charge of the

One KILLED,FO HURT

Six Strikers Charged with

San Francisco, Aug. pa Six car
strikers and sympathizers were form

er and the wounding of two guards in
riot at midnight.
The fatal ending of this disturbance
apparently sobered both sides in the
controversy, for rioting measurably les.
sened today. The only serious early
disorder reported was the stoning of
a street car and the threat of an armed
strikebreaker to fire his revolver into
a crowd. Several cars were halted by
men who pulled trolley poles from the
wires.
Although the United Railroads de.
clared its intention of resuming com.
plete service today, few cars were oper-

The arrested men are Charles Can.

kind and John Hogan. Each side in
the controversy accused the other to.
day. Cantrell declared he was in the
fatal fight and that he believed the
bullet which killed Waters was fired
by one of the strikebreakers during
the melee.
Possibility of the city taking over
the United Railroads was believed to
have passed with the refusal of Pres.
ident Lilienthal of that company to
consider sale of the lines while the
strike is on. The Chamber of Com
merce formally demanded that Mayor
Rolph furnish better police protection
for strikebreakers.
Fearing further rioting, Chief of Po.
lice White notified the strikers today
that they would not be permitted to
hold any more parades.

enter into any negotiations with the
city for purchase or lease of United

Flick Them by Hand
other methods of protecting plants
from the larger eating insects are to
pick the pests by hand or knock
them with n stick into pan con-
tanning water on which Il thin film of
kerosene is floating. Insects collected
by hand should be destroyed prompt
ly. Young plants may be protected
by setting over them wooden frames
covered with mosquito netting, wire
mesh. or cheesecloth. Cutworms may
be kept from plants by setting tin or
paper collars into the ground around
the stalks.
Sucking insects. such as plant lice,
can not be killed by poisoning the
surface of the leaves and fruit, since
they feed by puncturing the plants
and extracting the internal juices.
Poisons which will kill by contact or
substances which enveiop and smoth-
er the pests are, therefore, employ
ed against the sucking insects. The
principal remedies of this sort are
nicotine solutions, fish oil and other
soap solutions, and kerosene emul-
sion.
The following table lists the in
sects most likely to appear in the
vegetable garden and furnishes in
formation in regard to the plants at
tackled and the treatment recon-
mended:
Eating type: Tomato worms. to-

Cucumber beetles. cucumber, COW

Cutworms, tomato, cabbage, onion.

Potato beetle, potato, eggplant and

Sucking type, squash bug, squash
pumpkin, melons, etc, hand pick

Aphis (plant lice), cabbage and

Gardeners desiring additional in
formation in regard to insects affect
ing the vegetable garden should APP
ply to the Bureau of Entomology. L.
$. Department of Agriculture, but it
should be understood that there is no
publication covering the entire SUBJ
ject. Specimens of insects with some
account of food plants and ravages
should accompany correspondence.
The gardner should remember
that many plant diseases and insects
exist in the garden from year to
year At the end of the growing sea-
son, therefore, the garden should be
carefully cleaned of rubbish, the
stems of plants, leaves, etc. 1t is nee
essary to burn this debris promptly,
as any disease spores or insects
which may be present are then surely
destroyed.

livery variat ation of the tunic
idea is smart for Spring
- and here is a gown that is
made of serge and charmeuse
satin and that shows a tunic
of a very novel and very ate
tractive sort. Incidentally, it
is simple sort, too, especially
we'll adapted to the home dress
makers needs. Body portion
and skirt are cut together SO that
there are only shoulder and
under-arm seams to sew up.
The little vest that is arranged
under the front allows effective
use of contrasting material.
The skirt is in two pieces. You
could not find a simpler model
and you could not find a smarter
model. The vest and collar in
this case are of broadcloth and
the combination of broadcloth
with serg~is a well-liked one.
For the medium size the over
dress will require, Oh yards of
material 80 inches wide, S yards
"A, with 81 yard 54 inches wide
for the collar and vestee. For
the skirt will be- needed, 25s
yards of either width.
The pattern of the over-dress
No. o3o7 is cut in sizes from "a
to Al inches bust measure and
of the skirt No. 93I4 in sizes
from "a to "a inches waist
measure. They will be mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on
receipt of fifteen cents for over
dress. ten cents for skirt.
