THOMAS CAMPBELL
MAKES STATEMENT
Says Rnmors of M. M. w.
U. and the T. w. w. Con-
solidating Are Without
Any Foundation.

That the strike which for time
threatened TO "tic up not only the
mines 0n the hill, but the industries
through out the city has been official
ly called off and that the members of
the different organizations propose
now to organize and join strength for
| the expected fiet rease n+the spring, OF
! another 5 u day in their wages was
evidenced by the meetings held last
| night.
M. Nj. w. u Acts.
The following recommendation by
the executive committee of the or
ganzation on South Idaho street
speaks for itself:
To the Miners, Milmen, SmeItermen
and Surface Workers unions of
Butte:
In vicW of the fact that the dele
gates of the Metal Mine Workers un-
ion and Mill, Smelter and Surface
Workers union having made the fol-
lowing report to their executive COM
mittees of their respective organiza-
tions that it was the unanimous de-
cison of the delegates at a meeting
of the delegates of the Soldiers,
Sailors and Workers council held
this forenoon, that all organizations
represented in the council be advised
TO discontinue the strike for the pres
ent. We, your executive committees,
realizing the position in which you
are placed by so many of the organi-
cations concerned in this controversy
having deserted you, thereby destroy
| ing the necessary solidarity of the
workers, TO cope with the power of
| the A. Z. Nj. company, recommend
! that you consider seriously the rec
ommendati0n of the council aud de-
clare Off the present strike, and use
the energy that you would evidently
waste by a continuation of the strike
in perfeCting the organization which
| has so clearly been demonstrated in
this strike is necessary to bring relief
to you and all fellow workers.
Allow us as your executive COM
mttees acting in behalf of your re-
spective organizations to express our
sincere appreciation of the spirit you
have shown and your cooperation
with us in this controversy, with our
sincere hope that you will continue
| to show tho same spirit in the fu-
/ iul u. iitii We plIdil nave llO ltd1 VI
| the Ultimate outcome of our COM
| bined efforts which will mean in.
dustrial peace and harmony for all
| workers of Butte. No words of
praise could express our appreciation
for the spirit demonstrated by our re-
turned soldiers and sailors, therefore
We recommend that all our members
in both our organizations show the
same spirit by extending the help
ing hand to all returned soldiers and
sailors and admit them into our or
ganiZations without paying the regu,
lar initiation fee.

Prior to this the road to the prov

is shut off by the bolshevili forces.
The reds have taken all Of European
Russia under their control The
backward (capitalstic) forces have
had a hard beating from the reds and
are defeated and striding with long
legs toward Siberia. All the rich and
bourgeois are preparing to leave tins
town and are ready to go farther IN
to Siberia.

The wounded of the black forces
are steadily pouring into this town
from the firing line. They say the
reds have powerful army and also
very good command, they are like
Herculeans One officer of the black
forces was bewailing about the condl-
tions of his own army on the front,
He told also that the reds nave
everything perfectly up TO date

mand He was comforting those peo-
ple who were seeking news about
conditions on the firing line and ht
told them that there are not so many
reds, but they have many Cinnamon
Germans and Magyars, and probably
the reds have sold Russia. But he
