Prisoners Escape
One of BOldcst In
History Of Prison

No trace of j. B. Burg and Robert
Burns, the two prisoners who made
their bold get away from the state
prison yesterday morning, has been
found by the prison authorities al
though the dogs were sent on the trail
Immediately the escape was discovered.
That this escape is the boldest and
most daring of any in the history of
the institution is generally credited. In
TACT it was so bold that it completely
put the guards off their guard and it
was only when a certain trusty asked
if the two men were made TRUSTEES that
the alarm was given.
The men were working in the shoe
shop which is just above the offices of
the warden and the bookkeeper. There
is a window in each office facing the
outside gate and the yard. The men
made their way into the attic and
from there sawed their way to the
roof. From there they let themselves
down between the two front windows
to the ground. There were several trus-
tics in the yard but no one paid any
attention to the two prisoners in their
bold dash for freedom.

WILL EMPLOY EXPERT
TO FIT MEN TO JOBS
Object is Instead Of Firing
Men To Change Them to
Work They Can Do
(By George Martin)
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NOnlted fress OIaII correspondent
Washington, Aug. 9.-The govern
ment today employed Meyer Bloom
field, Boston, to keep America IS thous-
ands Of shipbuilding laborers happy.
1t is hoped in this way to block the
strikes, quarrels and labor troubles of
every kind threatened in one of the
country's most vital industries.
Bloomfield conferred here today with
officials of the shipping board and the
navy and will Immediately start tour
of southern shipyards and organize
them.
Approximately 100000 has been put
at his disposal for this work. Before
accepting the government post he was
head of the vacation bureau at num-
Der six Beacon street, Boston, and is
organizer and president Of the Employ
ment Association of America.
The government looks on the "hiring
and firing department" of it's comman-
deered shipyards as vital to the sue
cess of America 8 shipbuilding program.
Bloomfield will choose a hiring and
firing expert for every shipyard.
The plan will not be to fire any man.
If he doesn't fit in one part of the
yard he win be shifted to another. The
employment manager who fails to hold
every man he started with and to at
tract and develop enough more for his
needs will be branded failure.
This was the big problem put up to
the shipping board by the ship builders.
A special delegation of builders from
Fore River came to Washington and ex
planned the difficulty of keeping the
men.
Bloomfield was installed at Fore
River as employment manager. He says
he tested his plan to keep the men hap
py and that the experts he will choose
can handle the situation successfully.
Should the system prove success,
it probably will be extended to muni-
tions plants and other government man
ufacturing plants, where the govern
ment had experienced trouble, not in
getting men and women laborers, but
in holding them and making them con-
tented with their jobs.

STRIKE SITUATION IS
SOMEWHAT IMPROVED
AT Butte Outlook Is Worst
Company Must Answer by
Tomorrow Night

Butte, Mont, Aug. 9.-The Anacon-
da Copper Mining company must decide
by tomorrow whether it will grant its
employees, members Of the Smeltermen s
Union, an increase of So day. If the
rise is not granted, the men will vote
on strike Monday.
This today is the ultimatum of the
5000 unionists working in the Ana
conda Smelter.
A strike of Anaconda smeltermen
would tie up the mines at Butte as the
Great Falls Smelter is too small to
handle the entire output.
r. F. Dunno, leader of the striking
electricians, today took cognizance of
the repeated threats on his life and the
fact that miner was beaten up in
mistake for him by spending nights in
Anaconda. Dunn was the next man
marked for death in the warning found
on Frank Little's body.
Steps to get the metal trades crafts
me in the mines to strike with the Ana
conda Smeltermen were taken last night
when the Butte Metal Trades Council
protested the vote of two Great Falls
unions in the recent state metal trades
wage schedule referendum.
The local meal trades favor a strike,
hut now are tied up under an agree
ment signed by the state council.
The local unions are trying to repu-
date the contract.
A mass meeting viii be held Sunday.
The men want $3.50 day.
