This contamination is regarded in
all Allied circles here as an indispens-
able preliminary to any peace negotia-
tions. The coming into power of these
groups will mean the continuation of
the present armistice commission and
the probable appointment of Scheide-

HAS NO ASSURANCE
THAT MONTANA MEN
WILL GO TO WORK
Governor Won't Hazard a Guess
on Re-Opening of Mines; Lig-
pite Helping Out.

Helena, Dec. 1.-The coal shortage in
Montana is most sever IN the crowded
cities Of the state, while on the farms Of
eastern Montana and in the smaller
towns of that district the Ignite fields
are providing relief and in western Mon
tana the forests are furnishing wood to
take the place of coal, according to State
Labor Commissioner w. J. Swindlehurst.
He points out that there are a vast
number of local mines, employing only
few men each, which are unorganized and
which are still producing coal. These
are found in nearly every county in east
ern Montana, east Of the Rocky noun
tains, and are most plentiful in the north
ern and extreme eastern sections of the
state.
It is the opinion Of the labor commits
sioner that the small mines will be able
to keep the people in their districts from
freezing.
He is inclined to the opinion that the
greatest shortage exists in Butte, Hell
ena, Great Falls and along the Northern
Pacific railroad from Butte to Forsyth.
East Of Forsyth the Ignite supply is
available.
While greatly encouraged at the pros
pects of having the mines in Montana re-
sumo production as result of the gov
ernment's order and it's offer of a IA per
cent increase in pay, both Governor
Stewart and the commissioner declare
that it is impossible to tell what will oc-
eur in the Montana mines until after
Tuesday, when the order goes into effect.
Neither would hazard a guess as to
whether the Montana miners would 60 to

PRISONS WON I CURE
IRISH S|N|V FE|NERS,
P[UNKETT'S WARNING
English Government Following
Two Policies in Dealing
: With Ireland.

London, Dec 1-Sir Horace Plum
kett, who was chairman of the Dublin
convention, and who was generally kept
aloof from Irish politics during his long
career Of public service, has issued a
warning that the announcement that
hunger strikers will not be released from
the jails in Ireland hereafter. if it is
intended to break the spirit of the Sim
Fein, will have the opposite effect.
Advices from London say conditions
in Ireland are most disquieting.
Lawlessness has not been discoura-
aged by the recent proclamation and
crimes Of violence are increasing in
number. The English papers call at
tention to the numerous murders, and
point out that the government is ap
parently carrying on two policies toward
1reland-one the policy of concihation
embodied in the home rule plan which
is being framed by a cabinet committee;
the other policy of repression, ex-
pressed by successive prociamations
from Dublin castle. curtailing certain
liberties Of the people.
The two policies are supposed to rep
resent the two parties in the coalition

liberal wing and the unionist faction, Of
which Andrew Bonar Law for a long
time has been an outspoken leader.

Butte, Dec. 1.--Obscene moving pic
lures, advertised by demoralizing litho-
graphic advance notices on show cards
and billboards, shall no longer be exhib-
tied In Butte motion picture theaters,
members of the Butte city council de-
cided Saturday night at special meet
ing, when, by a unanimous vote of the
council approved motion to appoint a
censorship committee Of three. On this
committee Mayor Stodden chose to serve
Aldermen Butterfield, Callow and Nc
kewon.
This committee will have power to for
bid or to prevent the production Of films
that are deemed unfit for public exhibl-
ton and to cause the removal of all ad-
vertising matter which they believe is
detrimental to public morals.
Picture exhibitors will be required to
obtain the approval of the censorship
board before showing any film of whose
influence on morals the board is in doubt.
This, Alderman Butterfield, chairman
of the committee declared, would be cas-
ier than having it's production summarily
stopped and having moving picture house
managers arrested.
THE state law gives us full power to
act in the censorship Of demoralizing
films and we intend to exercise our
power" he said.
