STRIKE OF COAL MINERS
AT KLEIN COMES TO END
u. M. w. A. Organizer Forms New
Local Union and Majority of
Cid Miners Join

Roundup.-Two hundred and fifty
men have returned to work at the
Klein mine of the Republic Coal COM
pany, a subsidiary of the Milwaukee
railroad. after a seven weeks strike to
compel restoration of priority rights,
a system which the men say has been
in vogue for five years until discon-
tinued by the company.
The men decided to return to work
as a result of addresses made by In
ternational Organizers Frank Hefferly
and Felix Pogliano of the United Mine
Workers of America, who declared
that they came to Klein with author
ity to organize another local. The
locals charter was revoked at the time
the strike was declared, because it did
not receive sanction of the internation-
al organization. A majority of the
miners joined the new local.
1t is understood that leaders in the
strike, said to have been blacklisted,
will be reinstated and that other griev-
ances will be taken up by the company
in the proper manner.

CORPORATION TAX SOURCE
LARGEST MONTANA REVENUE
According to Report of State Treasurer
Hart Montana Has Nearly Three
Million Dollars in Strong Box

observation-disclosures had $2,9S0, 2S2 .93
In its strong box August 81, according
to the report of State Treasurer H. L..
Hart, just made public. During the
preceding three months the state ac-
quired from various sources 50, 751,-
G67.95 and expended $2,732, 033.02. The
balance on hand in the state treasury
May 81 was $2,950,648, leaving the
state $29,634.93 better off than it was
three months ago.
The corporation tax brought in the
largest amount of any source. The in
come commissioner turned over S779,-
1892 to the treasurer. The land reg
lister comes second with an addition of
1886, 5S3.01, proceeds of sales of state
lands during the three months. Mon
tana's hunting grounds are productive
of considerable income to the state
as licenses and other revenues from
sprtsmen totalled $34, 10000 for the
same period. The secretary of state
produced $220,854.73 monthly from Ii
censes on automobiles and other fees
collected in that office. Interest on
state investments amounted to $685.

paid by banks for state deposits

RECURRENCE lNFANTILE
PARALYSIS Is UNLIKELY
So Says Or. w. r. CoggsweII in Re-
visw of Health Conditions
Throughout State

Observation-Disclosures appears to have
safely passed the danger of another
epidemic or a continuation of the one
existing last year when 10S cases of
poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis
were reported in the state. Only "a
cases have been reported since Janu-
airy ] of this year and the disease ap-
pears to be gradually disappearing
from the state.
1--WE are in hopes that last years
epidemic will not be repeated, and we
have reasons to believe that Montana
will not suffer this year like it did
last from infantile paralysis" said DIR.
William f. Cogswell, secretary of the
state board of health.
DIR. Cogswell commented upon the
lesser number of cases reported and
stated that there We're more complete
reports being made this year than was
the case a year ago when the epidemic
was new. 1.-THE publicity the disease
received last year helped us in our
work this year," he said. physicians
are taking action quicker and better
results are being obtained. We are
rather optimistic regarding the out
look in this disease and are progress
ing daily in our study of its effects
and causes. The type Of the disease
manifested this year seems much less
severe than year ago, and it leaves
few marks upon the patients.
"Great Falls was the worst affected
of all districts in the state and there
the last case to be reported to the Of
flee here was on August IS. No cases
have been reported recently in Helena
and none is known to exist here"
Discussing the disease proper the
doctor stated that with proper and
continued treatment the condition of
the patients can be very much i'm
proved. There is no danger of con-
tagiOn after three weeks" he said.
"When the disease first made it's APP
pearance we quarantined for six weeks
but that has been cut to three and we
find the result is obtained. The dis
ease is contracted mostly by contact
during the first stages; when the pa
ralysis has appeared there is little
danger of contagion."

Wants Lower Hail Rate

MISUNDERSTANDING attention to
the fact that, owing to the unprecedent-
es dry season, the losses by hail in
Montana this year have been nominal,
and also that the crops have averaged
very light, County Assessor Carl Rid
dick advocates the reduction in the
premium, under the state hail insur-
ance law, from 90 cents an acre to
20 cents an acre, since the latter fig
ure would more than meet all the ne
cessities, and the higher rate, which
has been fixed will pile up funds that
the farmer himself is badly In need Of.

Quick Punch.

The daily pinochle game in the
smoker was going on as usual when
suddenly one of the commuters jumped
to his feet and yelled wildly for the
newsboy.
"Give us a new deck of cards, quick"
he cried when the boy answered his
summons. "The conductor just punched
the ace of diamonds instead Of my
Communication ticket"

Want McGuinness Removed

Leading citizens are behind an agi-
tation looking to the sending of petit
tion to the war department demanding
the removal on the grounds of unfit
ness of Colonel J. J. McGuinness of
the Second Montana.
The matter was precipitated by the
refusal of Colonel McGuinness to per-
NIT the regimental band to play at the
farewell reception to the drafted men
upon the grounds that the drafted men
were "a bunch Of slackers" because
they had not volunteered.
