CHOCOLATE SOLDIER"
EXPOSED BY MUSICIANS
Willie Cults, in a DR..
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde
Role, Switches on His
Fellow Unionists.
TO THE PUBLIC.

In answer to the pamphlet "On
Guard" circulated by the Cults
for Mayor club, the Musicians
union wishes to refute certain
statements therein.
Mr.. Quits memory must have
lapScd, or in his desperate straits
he is willing to do and say any
thing to camouflagc the voter. Not
only was this 'hero Of democ-
racy" an enemy to the Musicians
union and never passed an oppor-
tHnity to oppose ANY and sH NMIcs
and regulations OF this body, but
was actually Instrumental in call
ing one of the first meetings of the
theatrical managers of Butte. This
meeting was called with the OBJ
ject OF uniting the theatrical in-
terestS of the city for the purpose
of refusing the raise of wages for
the girl cashiers and incidentally,
to fight the musicians minimum
regulations. During this meeting,
Mr.. Cults was the hon0red speak
er, and spent the major portion of
the time in outlining to the cm-
pIoycrs present, the procedure I'M
ions had to take in making any
demands, and the steps of pro-
ccdurc to be taken by the opp0si-
ton forces CHE cmployers).
This may be in line with the
actions of some modern labor fax
irs, but we do not believe il to be
the actions of a true labor leader,
such as Mr.. Cults claims to be.
The Musicians union recOllec-
ton of Mr.. Cults arc anything but
complimentary as an employer of
union labor.
MUSICIANS MUTUAL PROTEC-
TIVE UNION.
Note: The Musicians union
last night voted to give the above
communication to all the papers.

PICH0N DID NOT
MEAN WHAT
HE SAID
Things Have Been Fixed UP
and Everything Is Lovely
Until Another Statesman
Speaks.
Especial United Press Wire.)

Paris, March 19.-Another temp
est in a teapot" seems to have blown
over. Further Investigations have
confirmed that Foreign Minister
Pichon in his statement Sunday in
tended no opposition to the inclusion
of the league of nations in the peace
treaty, but merely questioned Wheth-
er there was sufficient time to per-
feet the covenant for incorporation
into the preliminary pact.
Neutrals will have an opportunity
to present recommendations for
amendments to the constitution at
tomorrow's session.
1t is believed the covenant will be
in shape for presentation before the
plenary session for open debate by
Saturday.
s'Wilson, apparently, has approved
the military, aerial and naval condi-
tions contained in definite armistice
with Germany" said the Temps,
which usually voices the ideas of the
French government, therefore, after
council of 10 deliberates on these,
there is nothing to prevent Foch
from giving the Germans ~ hours
notice of cessation of present ar
mistice, informing them of the new
conditions and fixing their military
status
p But only military problems have
been solved in this manner, political
problems having been adjourned.
The question will, therefore. probably
come up before the council whether
or not it is preferable to fix in the
permanent diplomatic document Ger
many's military, political and terri
torial status. In this document the
pact of the league of nations may be
included. If this opinion prevails
subsequent sessions can be utilized
for fixing Germany's frontiers, after
which the Germans can be summoned
to Versailles to sign the prelimina-
ries.

To CARRY ANTI

Opponents of Wilson Send

Washington, March 19.-The first
of a number of "couriers' being sent
to Europe by opponents of the league
of nations to carry uncensored re-
ports of American public opinion on
the league peace conference is on the
sea. These couriers go ostensibly on
other missions. But they carry with
them a great mass of data which
they have been instructed to dis
seminate in France and England re-
garding the senates' attitude on the
league constitution. 1t is probable
that a vote of league compact will
be included in the peace treaty They
are to bring or send back, material
for the use of orators hostile to Will
sons plans. The controversy in
Paris over the inclusion of the league
constitution in the treaty brought
from Senator PoindeXter, the leader
of the opposition the threat that IF
the constitution of the league is en-
bodied in the peace treaty there will
be no peace treaty because the SEN
ate will not consent

British Constitution Would
Have to Be Changed, Says

Says News.
Especial United Press Wire. J

London, March 19.--Thc News
and Post, the only morning newspa
pers commenting editorially regard
ing the inclusion of the league of ma
tions in the preliminary peace treaty
took opposite views. The Post said:
"A Wilson minority in his own
party are trying to force the league
down the senate throats. In the same
way they are trying to compel the
peace conference to accept it. The
league means that England's foreign
policy would be directed by the in
ternational committee. This would
necessitate change in the British
constitution and ought to be consid-
cred by parliament before it's adop-
ton
The News said mo one wants to
delay peace, but it is profound mis-
take to omit the league of nations
from terms. If opposition to Wilso4
in America succeeds the league fails,
for it will be impossible to have a
league without America"

We pleased to that Mr. Cults and his hackers have
enlisted the support of one j. NJ Kennedy evidenced by
lengthy screed in the morning Miner
j. NJ Kennedy being the publicity agent Of the Anaconda
Mining company his advocacy of the candidacy Of Mr. Cults
will remove lingering doubts to who is backing Mr..
Quits.
Who is this J. NJ Kennedy whom Mr.. Cults has enlisted
among his army OF corporation tools?
This is Kennedy, who has been identified with
ment for the suppression Of the rights Of the people Of Mon
ana, who has faithfully fhered every effort Of the corpora
ons of this state to rivet their chains little tighter upon the
necks of the people.
1t is usually good indication Of mans character if he
pays his honest debts.
In this respect Mr. Kennedy is woeuIy lacking the fol-
lowing court judgments against him prove.

THINKS
League of Nations Covenant
Strengthens the Monroe
Doctrine, and Should Be
Part of Pact.
Especial United Press Wire.

Paris, March 10. = Lord Cecil,
British league of nations expert, told
correspondents that the British del
cgation considers the covenant
should be part of the preliminary
peace treaty and believes that its in
corporation would not delay the pre-
sentation of the treaty. He said: IF
the Monroe doctrine means what
understand it -non-interference
in American affairs by Europeans
without consent OF the United States
then the doctrine is strengthened BY
the league, since no action could be
taken under it's provisions without
Americas consent.
