ALLIED WITH
NONPARTISANS
Alliance is the Outcome of
Meeting With Frazier
in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-An alliance be-
tween union labor forces of Illinois

projected as a result of conferences
here yesterday and today betwe ~
Governor Lynn ]. Frazier of North
Dakota and leaders of the recently
organized Chicago labor party.
1t was announced that the plan
contemplates a conference soon in
either Chicago or Springfield at which
there would be representatives of all
union labor bodies and farmers Or
ganizations of this state and delegates
from the thirteen states in which the
league already is organized.
The local labor leaders have all
ready promised to aid the league in
establishing its new state-owned bank
in North Dakota. .. H.
Duncan Macdonald, president-elect
of the Illinois Federation Of Labor
said the United Mine Workers have
about $1,OOO,000 on deposit in Chi
cago banks and that this money and
similar other organizations could well
be used to give the new institution a
start if opposition to it by commercial
banks becomes burdensome.
Governor Frazier said the bank
proposes to issue bonds backed by the
state Of North Dakota in small de-
nominations as one means of obtain.
ing necessary funds,
The conference also decided to ap-
point a committee to work out a CO.
operative organization whereby farm
ers' produce may be brought direct
to consumers instead Of passing

Men Who Want to Work
Let Pass on Way to
Mines.

Butte, Mont, Feb. 10.-Strikers in
the mines Of Butte who object to the
recent reduction of 81 a day in wages
and who are insisting on the aboh-
ton Of the 'rustling'' card system
were halted at the foot of the. hill
leading to the mines today by guards
of United States soldiers. Those men
who wished to go to work were per-
mitted to pass. sss4 ~ .-
Discharged soldiers who Still wore
army uniforms were among those
doing picket duty for the strikers.
They were singled out by the regular
army men and ordered Immediately
to discard their uniforms or cease
participating in the attempted picket
ing. <h
Miners from the southern section
of the city who use the street cars to
get to their work on the hill were
prevented. from doing so when strik-
ers prevented the cars from leaving
the barns Soldiers cleared the crowd
from the vicinity Of the car barns but
later committee of union men is
understood to have called out the
union car men. s'
Major A. M. Jones, in command of
&C company, 44th U. S. infantry, and
a detachment of E company, same
regiment, had the streets leading to
the mines patrolled long before time
for the early shifts to go to work and
committees of pickets were stopped in
some instances as early as o'clock.
Congregating is forbidden by the mill
tary and those slow in moving at the
command of the soldiers have been
made to feel the sting Of the bayonet's
point.
Reports were circulated that SOL
diers had fired shots over the heads OF
the strikers who prevented the cars
from leaying the barns, but Major
Jones denied this. Another report that
additional troops had been asked foI
was also denied by Major Jones who
said that he had plenty to cope with
the situation. So far no violence had
been reported.

To "Get" Spcculators.

The leagues cry since its inception
has been "to get" the land speculat-
ors, but in Roylance's new bill this
gentleman is given the better of it in
the reclassification. His assessed valu-
alton is reduced 20 per cent, while
living by the sweat of his brow in
working his land, is raised 20 per
cent.
Roylance's new classification act,
which was adopted by the taxes COM
mittee, places all public utilities in
the first class and assesses them on
the 100, per cent basis.
In the second class, which is taxed
on an 80 per cent basis, he places all
land. whether used or unused, and all
bank stocks, -four mills, elevators,
warehouses and structures, and i'm
provements on town and city lots
used for business purposes. In the
original bill used land was taxed on
the 60 per cent basis.
