BUTTE MINES

Companies Determined Not TO Nego-
tiate With Union; Many
Men Leaving.

Butte, Mont, June 23.-The mines
OF the Butte district are expected to
be closed early next week because OF
strikes called by the Metal Workers
union and the Electricians union,
and the Endorsement of the strikes
that are being given by other trades
unions, according to an official of a
big mining company today. Both
strikes We're called to obtain higher
wages and better working conditions.
The mines at present are produc-
ing about 10 per cent OF their normal
copper output, but no lead, and the
working force is placed at about 10
per cent OF what the mines employed
two weeks ago An additional 100
men reported for work today. The

WOULD ARREST
MYSTERY WOMAN
IN ROACH DEATH
Ogden Educators Tragic Fate Should
BE Probed His Friends
All Say.
Widow Needs Automobile and
Large sum of Money He Had
When Killed.

Pueblo. June 22.--The woman who
was with George Roach. the Ogden
man who was killed here yesterday,
has disappeared, Coincident with
her departure came a telegram from
Ogden stating that Roachs widow is
there.
Those at the tourist camp say that
the couple represented themselves as
man and wife, but the police state
that the woman admitted they were
not married but that they intended
to be as soon as Roach could obtain
a divorce.

some of the questions being asked by
Roach's Ogden friends and his widow
who lives at 225 Ninth street.
Sheriff II. G. Peterson believes
there are SO many matters to be
cleared up that he has requested the
authorities at Pueblo to arrest the
woman. IL they have not already done
SO. r..r. ..rr..
There is a general belief here that
the woman, who was reported to
have been with him at the time Of
{ his death. is an Ogden girl and that
she should explain certain matters.
Say He Had Big Sum.
Roach's friends say they want to
know II 1t was true that he drew .
large sum OF money from an Ogden
bank on the day he departed, sup
posedly for a hunting trip in Idaho.
They say they want an explana-
ton as to how an experienced rifle
man and pistol shot should be killed
in the manner described in press dis
patches, which seem to indicate that
he failed to practice the care he usu-
ally displayed in the handling of fire
arms.
Furthermore, his Ogden friends
say they want to return to his widow
in Ogden, the automobile and other
effects which Roach had at the time
Of his death.
II have received no information
that would lead me to believe his
death was not accidental" Mrs.
Roach said today, but think there
should be complete investigation.
George left Ogden May 80 in his
automobile and about a week later
I received letter from him. He was
in Pocatello when he wrote and he
told be he would be gone with a
party for about three weeks,
when he would write me again from
Pocatello.
Death Message Next.
II had heard nothing concerning
him until l received the message yes
terday afternoon from his mother,
his death.
1--WE had not quarreled, but I had
reproached him about his remaining
away from home so much at night.
My friends told me repeatedly that
he associated with other women, but
he denied these charges. 1t is true
that he had not supported me and my
son as think he should have done"
So far as can be learned, Mrs.
Roach is left without means, al
though Roach received large sal
ary as head Of the commercial de-
partment at the Ogden high school.
She is left with a bedridden son,
aged 10 years. to support.

Drys' In House Fighting for Anti
Liquor Provision in
Food Bill.

Washington, June 22.-All other
phases OF the. rather perfunctory
fight in the house over the food con-
troll bill were overshadowed tonight
by interest in preparation by prohi-
bition advocates for determined ef-
fort to insert a stronger dry" pro-
vision before the final vote tomor-
row.
Uhe section which would authorize
the President to limit, regulate. pro-
hibit or reduce the supply of food
materials or feeds used in making
alcoholic liquors falls short OF the
demands OF most Of the antiliquor
elements. A majority hopes for alb
solute prohibition OF the use OF grain
for beverage purposes during the
war. They are not agreed on any
one proposed amendment, however,
and their divisions may result in
leaving the present povision un-
changed.
Except for the prohibition drive,
nothing was in sight tonight to pre-
vent passage OF the measure In the
house tomorrow and the outlook in
, the senate for quick action also was
considered good.

A plan for adjustment tonight un-

universal desire to conclude the
lengthy speeches several senators are
planning in order to proceed to
amendments by the middle or latter
part of next week, after the house
bill has been received.

5 Cents a Pound
Profit on Turkeys
Fixed for Dealers
Housewives Urged by Food
Administrator to Report
Xmas Overcharging

The marginal profit on fresh killed
turkeys, geese, ducks and chicken for
the Christmas trade was fixed yestor-
day afternoon by agreement at meet
ing of representatives of the poultry
and game wholesale and retail dealers.
The merchants met in the Offices Of the
Federal Food Board. where they dis
cussed poultry supply and prices with
Feceral Food Administrator Arthur
Williams.
The maximum profit for the retail
dealers is 10 be > cents a pound nec.
There was no attempt made by the
Federal Food Administrator to set
prices on any poultry as he did before
Thanksgiving. Mr.. Williams said the
experiment at price fixing then was a
failure for the reason that dealers did
not grade their birds properly, claim
ing that all their turkeys were of the
best variety, commanding the highest
price set by the Food Administrator.
The five cents per pound profit was
not voluntarily accepted by the poul-
try men. Several wanted six and seven
cents.
p. @. Foy, the produce market ex-
port, who was consulted by Mr.. Will
Jams, said that the arrangement was
fair. Mr.. Foy gave the following

in which the latter shook his head.
