Billings, Dec billings schools and
theaters were ordered closed and store
hours were limited to between 8 o'clock

for the week end.
No coal was received in Billings today

by the fuel administrator as to future
prospect of delivery. The local supply
is so limited as to take care of only those
cases in which actual suffering is i'm
minent.
Volunteers are signing up for work
in the Bear Greek properties and as
soon as 70 recruits are received, re-
quest will be made for troops to pro-
tect them and an effort will be made
to open one of the Bear Creek proper
ties.
The local fuel administrator was ad
vised today that coal from the Sheridan
fields will not be sent beyond points on
the Burlington railroad. Billings is the
terminus for the Burlington railroad,

Anaconda. Dec 4-The coal situation
in Anaconda is becoming critical. All
shipments for which notification and
bills of lading have been sent have been

and large number of orders Of half
ton lots of coal will remain untitled un-
less more coal comes.
No restrictions have been placed on
wood. and Fuel Administrator M. G.
Dawson urges all who are out of fuel
to order wood, as the prospects of Sc
curing coal are extremely doubtful.
All the coal which had been coming
into Anaconda consists of shipments
made on or before Nov. 1. and these have
been received and sold out, Mr.. Dawson
announced.

OF Butte that are both an eyesore and a

without cost. Demolition of the old
buildings, it is said, will begin in a few
days.

OPERATORS STATE REASONS
WHY MINERS SHOULD GO BACK
State Association Issues Statement Showing What
Increase Will Mean in Wages and What Men
Will Gain by Accepting Scale.

outside, to about $1.70 per day to the
employees making the greatest earnings
'As the contract workers number
fully thirds of mines employees,
it is apparent that the majority of the
mine workers will receive the largest
increase.
Mine employees living in company
houses have had to pay no increase in
rent, light or water, and pay q very low
mines not covering the cost of produc-
ton and delivery.
Most important to the public is the
order from the government that the in
crease paid the miners must be borne
by the operators and cannot be added to
the selling price of coal. Therefore, the
operators of Montana in offering the in
crease fixed by the government in agree
ing to continue the provisions of the
present agreement with the miners un-
ion, positively assure the sincerity of
the effort of the operators to resume
production of coal.
Union miners are working in Wyom-
ing under the same guarantees offered
by Montana operators to Montana min
ers. and there is no good reason why
miners in Montana should not return to
work under conditions assuring them a
substantial wage increase and no change
in their relations with their employers.
Coal from Wyoming, Utah, Canada
and from the lakes is coming into the
state and the market. already unable to
absorb the normal output from Montana
mines. is in danger of being further re7
stricted.
Montana coal miners have absolutely
nothing to gain by remaining on strike,
and absolutely nothing to lose by re-
turning to work.
''Notices will be posted at all Mon
tana mines on Monday, notifying the men
that the mines will resume operations
Tuesday, December 2, under the increas-
ed wages fixed by the government"

Court Postpones
Trial by Jury Due

,peciaL to The Daily Tribune

Special, to The Daily Tribune.
Fort Benton, Dec 4.-On account OF
the scant supply of coal at the court
house and the uncertainty of increasing
the stock, Judge Tattan thought it best
to suspend jury trials for the present.
He accordingly vacated settings that ex-
tended to December II, and discharged
the jury He has announced that call
ing of the calendar will be had later and
jury trials resumed, probably in Janu-
ary. Two carloads of Havre coal have
been received here this week, and is
being distributed about town where most
needed. A welcome relief came Wednes-
day when the cold spell of the last three
days broke for several hours, but most
of the coal bins in town are low even
for mild weather. More attention TO
the use of wood is paid now, and those
who have wood of any kind are prepar-
ing to make use of it.

Billings. Dec. 4.-Setting forth argu-
ments as TO why the miners of Montana
should accept the wage increase au-
thoriZed by the government and approved
by the operators and showing i'll what
manner the miners will be benefited
thereby, Il statement has been issued
from the headquarters of the Montana
Coal Operators association, as follows:
THE Montana coal operators have
been in session at Billings following the
refusal of the coal miners of the state
to return to work on the guarantee that
any increase granted in the central COM
petitive fields would be given the Mon
tana miners, such increases to be eff
fectice from the day of resumption of
work.
''As the government has fixed the in
crease miners are to receive as II per
cent. the Montana operators will i'm
mediately post notices at their mines,
that this advance of IA per cent will be
given the mine workers of Montana.
Furthermore, the operators will guar
antee that all provisions and conditions
in the present agreement with the {.
NJ. w. of A. are to remain in effect, and
that no discrimination against members
of the miners union will be permitted.
In short the only change in the present
contract between operators and mine
workers will be the Ii per cent Increase
in wages.
''The present scale of day wages runs
from $495 paid common labor on the
outside to $6.10 paid skilled labor inside.
AS miners and coal cutters work under
a contract their earnings depend upon
their efforts and it is generally conceded
that So per shift for miners and s12
per shift for coal cutters, or machine
runners are average earnings. This II
per cent advance therefore would re-
suit in material increases in earnings,
namely, about 20 cents per day for the
lowest paid unskilled laborer employed
