WASHINGTON, August 26.-In
replying yesterday to the demands of
/ the railroad shopmen for increased
wages, President Wilson issued two
statements, one to the public and one
to the railroad men, setting forth
the vital problems facing the nation
at this hour and demanding the as7
sistance of every class in meeting
those problems, instead of aggravat-
ing them.
The Presidents statement to the
public follows:
My Fellow Citizens: A situation
has arisen in connection with the ad-
ministration of the railways which is
of such general significance that
think it my duty to make public
statement concerning it, in order that
the whole country may know what
is involved.
The railroad shopmen have de-
manded a large increase in wages.
They are now receiving So, 60 and 68
cents per hour. They demand IS
cents per hour. This demand has
been given careful and serious con-
sideration by the board which was
constituted by the Railroad Admin
istration to adjust questions of wages,
board consisting of an equal NUM-
Der or representatives of employees
and of the operating managers of the
railroad companies. This board has
been unable to come to an agree
ment, and it has therefore devolved
upon the Director General of Rail
roads and myself to act upon the
merits of the case.
The shopmen urge that they are en-
titled to higher wages because of the
higher wages for the present receiv-
ed by men doing similar work in ship
yards, navy yards and arsenals, as
well as in a number of private indus
tries, but l concur with the Director
General in thinking that there is no
real basis of comparison between the
settled employment afforded me-
chanics by the railroads under living

NATION And RAILWAY SHOPMEN
Asks Public To Insist Upon Truce in Wage Con

conditions as various as the locations
and surroundings of the railway shops
themselves and the fuctuating en-
pIoyment accorded in industries ex-
ceptionally and temporarily stimulat-
ed by the war and located almost
without exception in industrial CEN
tiers where the cost of living is
highest.
Prices At Their Peak.
The substantial argument which
the shopmen urge is the very serious
increase in the cost of living. This is
very potent argument, indeed. But
the fact is that the cost of living has
certainly reached its peak, and will
probably be lowered by the efforts
which are now everywhere being
concerted and carried out. 1t will
certainly be lowered so soon as there
are settled conditions of production
and of commerce; that is, so soon as
the treaty of peace is ratified, and s
in operation, and merchants, manu-
facturers, farmers and miners all
nave certain basis of calculation as
to what their business will be and
what the conditions will be under
which it must be conducted. The de-
mands of the shopmen, therefore, md
all similar demands are in effect
this: That we make increase IN
wages, which are likely to be perma-
hent, in order to meet Temporal, "
situation, which will last nobody ca1
certainly tell how long, but in all
probability only for limited time.
Increasein wages will, moreover, GER
tainly result in still further increas-
ing the costs of production, and.
therefore, the cost of living, and we
should only have to go through the
same process again.
Any substantial increase in wages
in leading lines of industry at this
time would utterly crush the general
campaign which the government is
waging, with enegry, vigor ana sub
stantial hope of success, to reduce

STATE BIGGEST silver
PRODUCER DURING 1918
Mining Activity of Montana Declines Following
Signing of Armistice, Geological Expert Reports
in Mid-Year Bulletin-Nearly Eighty Millions
Worth of Copper Mined Last Year.

The metal output of Montana declined
notably after the war demands 1or
metals ceased, according to c. n. Gerry,
of the United States Geological Survey
department of the Interior. The period
of transition from war to peace was
one of curtailed production and lower
prices for copper, lead, and zinc Pro-
duction from the mines at Butte, the
source of most of the states output,
was reduced during the first half OF
1919 to nearly half that OF the flrst
half of 1915 Several of the large cop
per mines were closed, and the smelters
at Anaconda, Butte, and Great Fans
were operated on a greatly reduced
scale. Though production was low at the
Washoe smelter at Anaconda, the plant
was being improved, the new stack ana
Cottrell treaters having been complet-
ed and connected with the furnaces.
This new equipment will afford large
output of arsenic.
Gold.
The gold produced in Montana in 1918
was valued at So, 3,1O4, ,164, decided
decrease from the output OF 19l'. Inc
placer gold produced by dredges IN
Madison county is falling Oft rapidly,
or siliceous ores is decreasing IN Lewis
and Clark. Phillips, Fergus, and Deer
Lodge counties. The gold produced from
the ores of Butte increased IN 1918 on
account of the large output OF copper
ore and the activity of the zinc leacn-
ing plant at Great Falls. but there Will
be a marked decrease in 1919 on ac-
count of the reduction in the output OF
copper ore. During the first quarter OF
1919 the Barnes King Development
company received $1S9,06O for ore mill
ed at the Shannon, Piegan Gloster, and
North Moccasin mines. The two mines
last named were operated at loss, but
the ore from the Shannon mine was
sufficiently valuable to pay expenses
and dividends
The output of silver from Montana
in 1918 was 16,797, 40 ounces. valued
at 81 an ounce. or nearly S6,000,000
more than the output of 1917. This is
the largest output of silver recorded
for the state. and is larger than that of
any other state, but the rate will not
be upheld in 1919 even though the price
of the metal has improved, because OF
the declining output Of the ores of the
base metals from which silver is de-
rived. Nearly 80 per cent of the silver
produced in Montana in 1918 came from
Silver Bow county, not only from copper
ore but largely from lead-zinc ores, the
production of which has increased great
ly during the last few years. The mines
of Granite and Jefferson counties also
produced much silver in 1918. Some rich
ore containing gold and silver is being
shipped from the Hope and Jib property,
in the Cataract district, jefferson
county.
Copper.
The output Of copper in 1918 was
800, 174,SJ0 pounds, valued at S19,S24,-
1SS. Several years ago Montana was the
largest producer of copper in the United
States. but in 1918 Arizona produced
more than twice the quantity given

lmong the soldiers, and the plan of the
organization to aid drouth sufferers dur
ing the coming months was vividly out
lined to members Of the Soldiers and
Sailors club Monday night by Adiutant
j. lsaacs. the new Salvation Army COM
mander in Great Falls.
Adjutant Isaacs was the speaker at
largely attended meeting of the club.
At the conclusion of his address, the
organization passed n resolution to aid
IN every way possible the emergency
drive to he put on next week in this
city by the Salvation Army. The pur-
pose Of the drive is to complete the
quota assigned to Great Falls in the
National Home Service Fund campaign
some months ago. and to thus enable
the army to care for the numerous suf-
ferers from the drouth who will appeal
in this city for aid during the coming
months.
AdJutant Isaacs was frequently ap
plauded. He told many instances of the
bservice Of the Salvation Army on the
battlefields Of France OF the suffering
the workers endured in order to help the
soldiers, and of the warm spot in the
heart of every Salvationist for the
American doughboy.
"The moment it became apparent"
he said. that there would be intense
suffering due to those who had lost
nearly everything because of the drouth
the Salvation Army knew it has great
mission OF service to perform here in
this city. Our past experience has made
us adept in handling relief measures of
this nature. and we Immediately inform
ed representative men Of Great Falls Of
our intention to do all in our power TO
aid herein every way possible in this
great work of relief"
The Adiutant then announced that f.

the club. he and Mrs. Isaacs next Mon
day would bring to their headouarters
on north Third street two large boilers
full of donghnuts, baked after the fam
Gus trench recipe well known 10 every
overseas man. This remark was greeted
with cheers.
Announcement also was made at the
meeting by William Steege. manager of
the Grand opera house and the Sexton
theater. that during the week of the
drive. on August II and - there would
be shown at the Sexton, the famous

above. The shipments Of copper ore
and bullion for the first five months OF
1919 indicate an average production OF
about 15,300.000 pounds of copper a
month, as against an average of nearly
100000 pounds a month in 1918.
Several of the large mines of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company such as
the Original, Leonard, and Pennsylvania,
were closed early in the year, and the
production of the North Butte was re-
duced by more than 80 per cent. At the
Pittsmont smelter only one copper
furnace was active in the later part OF
March. Both furnaces had been idle for
a time in February, when there was .
labor strike at Butte.
The output of lead from Montana was
81, 135 SO pounds in 1913, notable IN
crease over the 1851 go pounds pro-
duced in 1917. Much of the lead pro-
duced in 1913 came from Jefferson and
Lincoln counties, but most of 1t came
from the Anaconda properties, Butte
& Superior. Emma, and Elm Orlu mines
at Butte. Much lead-zinc ore has been
opened at the Emma mine and at proper,
ties in the western part of Butte, ana
shipments continue from the main pro-
ducers. but there will undoubtedly be
decided decrease in production IN
1919 Shipments of lead bullion from the
East Helena plant were upheld, but
most of the ore that is sent to this plant
is produced in Idaho A large quantity
of lead ore is being shipped from the
Angelica mine, in Jefferson county.
Zinc.
The production of zinc in Montana
in the first half of 1919 has been some
what reduced, but not so much as III
some other western states. The output
of zinc in 1918 was 2O9,20S,14S pounds,
valued at $19.042, ,491, or 81 cents
pound Most of it came from the mines
at Butte-Butte & Superior, Elm Orlu,
Emma and several mines at Anaconda
and nearly all the remainder came from
the Snow Storm mine at Troy, and the
Pilgrim property. at Basin. All these
mines were active in 1919, and the
electrolytic zinc plant at Great Falls
continued to turn out spelter of high
grade, though the total output was
somewhat less than in 1918, when an
average OF about 100000 pounds of
zine was shipped each month. During
the first quarter of 1919 the Butte N
Superior mine produced about 100000
pounds of gross zine per month. against
H. 10000 pounds per month in 1913. The
decrease was due to the Anaconda
company's refusal TO take custom zine
ore in the first months of 1919. The
late shipments were about so per cent
of normal.
Diyidens were paid by the Anaconda
Copper Mining company and the Barnes
King Development company in the early
part Of 1919.

(Chicago Tribune Service.)


Washington, Aug. 5.--That the Ameri-
cans have outworn their welcome in
France was asserted by Representative
King of Illinois, upon his return from a
six weeks visit to European battlefields.
Mr.. King was nursing his left wrist,
which was injured at Brest when boil
shevik, hiding behind hedge, threw
stones at the American congressman and
the American flag on their machine.
France, with the exception of Off

did for them" said Mr.. King. "The
feeling toward us is not kindly. We
have worn out our welcome and the
French people are glad to see us go. /

the sight of doughboy with frauleln

Regarding sentiment for the league OF
nations, Mr.. King said:
The great mass of people in France,

and as Utopian theory. They doubt il

to a Frenchman, he shrugs his shoul-

Mr.. King said he was convinced the
United States should keep out of Eu-
