BUTTE STRIKES CONTINUE
BUT MAY BE SETTLED

Butte, Mont. June 19.-The two la
Dor strikes in Butte, called respective
ly by the Metal Mine Workers union
and the electricians against the Non
tana Power company, continued to-
day but with prospects of settlement.
A committee of the electricians has
been called upon to place its aims
and purposes of the strike before the
employers Of Butte. The union has
named a committee to arbitrate its
differences, but its members have de-
clared in favor of continuing the
strike while the question of wages
is being arbitrated- The Montana
Power company before the strike was
called offered to arbitrate but the
union at that time refused.
According to statements Of the min
ing companies. fewer men are report
ing for work daily The greatest
detection is noticed on the night shift
when the miners must return from
work in the dark.

Mexican Bandsnen Reply To
Attack Of Moran and Miller

Editor FL Paso Herald:
On June s there appeared in your
columns a couple OF interviews. or
more properly speaking. a couple Of
1rades-one by J. G. Miller. reputed
TO be the leader Of the Moose
''of the Labor Union Advocate
and vice president OF the
Texas Federation OF Labor" the
statements in which. il any one be-
lieved. would be a serious reflection
upon the Mexican American Musical
association as such, and of the indi-
Viduals composing the association. It
may be that some Of the readers of
the Herald do not know the two men
interviewed as well as a vast ma
Jority Of the people Of e. Paso do.
and that some credence may be given
to their preposterous and inflamma-
tory statements.
Other than the publication OF these
remarks Of Messrs. Miller and Moran
the Herald has been universally
courteous; in fact exceedingly kind
through its columns, to the Mexican
American Musical association. and it
IS only to correct the Impressions that
few people might have received
from these interviews, that this letter
is written.
Mr.. Miller says: "That Mexican out
fit was not military musical orcanf-
cation from JuareZ." That is true.
and no one contended that il was;
while a number of the members of
the band reside in Juarez. the organi-
cation is an FL PasO organization
strictly. He also says: This band
is composed mainly Of musicians WIZ
were Villas official bandsmen and
Mexicans who cannot go to Juarez on
account Of their political beliefs"
This statement is absolutely untrue.
and if Mr.. Miller did not know that 1t
was untrue when he made il. he
should have known it. A majority
Of those who play in the band ac-
tually reside in Juarez. and not one
Of those who resides in FL Paso is
inhibited from going to Mexico at
any time that he so desires Neither
is the band composed principally Of
Villas official bandsmen. and this
fact, II it was not known by Mr.. Nil
Ter at the time. could have been
known by the exercise Of any sort
of diligence. We challenge Mr.. Mil
Ter to prove, to the satisfaction Of
any one other than himself. Mr.. No
ran and their cohorts. that any of the
musicians Of this band ever played in
