STRIKE
Entire Transportation Sys-

Trainmen Walk Out. Over
100000 Workers Affected.
Especial limited Press Wirp


London, Sept. 27.--Great Britain
is involved il the most extensive
strike in the history Of the country.
The stoppage of the entire railway
system at midnight last night,
opened the first battle in English
history directly between the govern
ment and organized labor.
Both sides are highly organized
and are prepared to fight to finish.
With more than 100000 men af-
fected, the country's whole trans
portation system parayzed, the gov
ernment's first preparation was to
prepare against starvation. The food
ministry sprung a big surprise when
1t revealed the existence of big secret
food reserves in London, which are
sufficient to supply the city for six
weeks. The government has estab-
lished a virtual food dictatorship
which is endowed with almost UNI
limited powers.
Motor lories which We're stationed
in all parts Of the country. began
operating early this morning be-
tween seaports, food depots and the
inland cities. The difficulty Of the
milk distribution offers the worst
problem, but an attempt will be
made to operate a few trains for this
purpose. 1t is believed the nations
babies will be spared suffering. The
navy will be used to help feed the
country for the first time in history
of England, the sea forces having
been called to serve in such ca
pacity.

MERESSA IS
PEEYED
COURT
Dissatisfied With Sentence
for Murder, and Says
Should Be Hung or Else
Turned Free.

Emile Meressa, who was convicted
last week of murder in the second
degree was given the sentence this
morning, which the jury fixed for
him--40 to 80 years at Deer Lodge.
Meressa was peeved and made
quite a speech in court. He main
tanned that it ought to have been
either first degree murder or moth
ing. He said he was either innocent
or guilty. If innocent, as he main
tanned, he was entitled to acquittal;
and if guilty, there wasn't any such
a thing as second degree about it. In
the latter case, he said, he ought to
hung.
Meressa said he had not been per-
mitted to take the stand and explain
how he got the wounds which the
officers found on his person when
he was arrested.
Meressa was convicted of being
one of the two men who shot David
w. Thomas, Watchman at the
Tramway mine, the night of March
Is, as Thomas was on his way home
from work. The attack took place
in the 900 block on East Broadway.
Thomas emptied his gun at his as
sailants, but was so badly wounded
himself that he died within 80 min
utes after being taken to the emer-
gency hospital. Although there
were witnesses to the shooting, none
were close enough to identify the
participants, and it was the fact that
Meressa, when arrested in Anacon-
da week later, bore two partially
healed bullet wounds, which consti-
tuted the strongest evidence against
him.

With the declaration that the
twenty-seventh annual convention of
the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca. which closed at Cleveland, O., on
Sept. 23, was the most successful
ever held by the organization, J T.
Taylor of Lehigh, one of the dele
gates from Montana to the conven-
ton stopped over in Butte today on
his return home. Delegate Taylor
asserts that more than 1000 dele
gates were in attendance and that
during the meeting number of
matters of importance to the miners
were taken care of.
The miners. according to Mr..
Taylor, expressed full sympathy with
the steel workers and on orders
from the convention President
Lewis sent l6 organizers to the
Pittsburgh district to work under
the direction of the steel workers
organization.

AN -BANNERL LAW
CAUSES FUN
MALLS
"Mother" Hubbard Insists
on Ordinance Over the Op-
position of Organized La
bor. Aimed at Workers.

Great Falls, Sept. 27.-Consider-
able amusement has been stirred up
in Great Falls over the new anti
banner law passed by the city coun-
Gil last week. Labor men who were
present protested at the measure, and
one threatened a general strike, but
Mr.. Hubbard, affectionately known
in the electric city as "Mother Hub
bard,' insisted and the new charter
Of freedom was Whirled through with
a Whoop.
We do not know. at this distance
just what the Employers association
have in mind, or why they should al
low one who is SO patiently their
creature to foist such a piece Of ty-
ranny upon the people OF Great Falls,
or do we suppose that the said peo-
pie have any, intention of putting up
with the same. Modern business
lives by advertising and since the
law, to be equitable--if such ordi
nances can ever be said to Justify
such nomenclature-must bar out all
banners, there is likely to be some-
thing doing before long.
In fact, already the banners ad-
vertising various things on the
Great Falls Tribune, and this is only
the beginning, but it is said amongst
the labor men that whatever the
Montana Power company may do
about it, labor will see to it that it's
rights are preserved and that the
petty-fogging peanut politics of To-
cal hate agents will not be allowed
to interfere with the prosecution of
a strike or the advertisement of a
meeting. The labor movement in
our sister city has conducted itself
properly and with due regard to the
very sensitive state Of political and
economic affairs at this critical time.
1t has tried to be reasonable. but it
is said in Great Falls, that if the city
council has mistaken this for cowar-
dice, they have made a sad mistake.
Labor in Great Falls is organized for
the economic fight and is now turn
ing to the political end Of the matter.
Such arbitrary nonsense as this ban
ner ordinance is regarded by most,
as duck soup for the political arm.

SUGAR IS SOMETHING
 TO THINK ABOUT

This war is bringing 10 our atten- ton the value and importance of many daily necessities heretofore regarded as a matter of course and some of them have been thrown almost overnight into the category of luxuries. Such. for instance, is sugar Who would have dreamed that this article of food. virtually inexhaustible. really would play such an important part. We feel we cannot do without it; it is a part of our lives and yet the world did not always have sugar and got along well without it just as it did without po- tatoes prior tO the discovery of Amer ica.
 Sugar. in chemistry. is the generic name of @ certain series of carbohy- dratos, compound giving a sweet taste. but free from glucosides.
 Sugar cane has been known for cen turfes. Milk sugar was obtained by Fabrizio Partoletti in 1915. and in the middle of the eighteenth century Marg- graf found that the sugars yielded by the beet. carrot and other roots were identical with the sugar cane. The sugar obtained from honey was in vestigatcd by Lowitz and Praust. and the latter decided on three species cane sugar, grape sugar and fruit SUI gar.
 Sugar was only vaguely known to the Greeks and Romans. It was in- troduced into Europe during the time Of the Crusados. Its use gradually de- veloped. SO much so that it has be- come necessary part of daily exist Q ence. Not until this war have the peo- pie awakened to the fact what it means to be deprived of it."
