NOT NOTICEABLE
IN THIS STATE
Authorities Receive No News
of Disorders in Any Part
of Montana.

The efforts of I. w. w agitators
of the northwest to call general
strike today among the agricultural
and construction workers of the four
northwestern states OF Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and Oregon have
resulted in failure as far as this part
of the country is concerned. Until
late this afternoon no walkouts had
been reported either among agricul
tural or construction workers in this
part OF the state. Local railroad Off
cials declare they have received no re-
ports of walkouts on any construction
work along their lines in the state.
At the United States district attor
ney's office this morning IL was
stated that no reports of disturbances
or interference with business had been
received from any part of Montana.
Major Williams. in command of the
provisional battalion of Second Mon
tana guardsmen on duty in Butte. also
denies that any action is contemplated
against local l. w w. 'as long as no
serious disorders break out in the
city"
Efforts of the !. w. W. in Butte have
been directed to blocking the produc-
ton OF copper. and l. w. w. leaders
who have visited Butte have not in
terested themselves in agricultural
workers. Construction workers on
railroads have been free in part from
the local l. w. W. agitation since these
sgitators have lacked courage to at
tempt to block work In which the gov
ernment has such a direct and imme-
date interest
Quiet Throughout State.
From other parts Of the state come
reports OF conditions similar to those
existing In Butte. The scheduled
strike has caused hardly a ripple OF

No More Chasers.

Secretary Daniels said no additional
submarine chasers would be ordered
At present. The chasers are valuable
as harbor and shore patrols. but de-
stroyers are superior even for these
duties and have In addition seagoing
qualities which make them OF far
greater value in all other ways.
Every suggestion that the ship and
engine builders have to make today as
to additional motive power for destroy
ers was given close attention. Equip
ping some of the nex vessels with oil
engines was among the suggestions.
As TO the pIarts at which the new
destroyers will be laid down. Secre-
tary Daniels said he favored expan
sion of the plants already building de-
stroyers as the most efficient means
Of speeding up. Experience gained in
previous building win enable such
plants to turn out more quickly II is
felt than would be possible for a
plant new to the work.
