40 BUTTE UNIONS ACCEPT
DOLLAR A. DAY INCREASE
Raise Dates from July I, and Anaconda
Company Will Dig Up $780,
900 in Back Pay

Butte.-An increase of 81 day In
the wages of members of 40 unions
is announced by the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, as spokesman for
the larger mining companies of the
Butte district
The increase dates back to July /.
All mine employees receive the new
scale except. metal tradesmen who as
group rejected the recent offer of the
company. giving as reason objection
to the elimination of the seniority rule
in the new contracts. Acceptance of
the 81 increase as voted by the 40 Or
CARNATIONS binds all these unions to
settle jurisdictionaI disputes without
involving the company and calls for
notice of 30 days before termination
Of the contract. which is to run year.
Eleven thousand employees receive the
increase in pay. Wages now range
from 1913 for miners to 80 day for
masOns.
The Anaconda company will pay ap-
$220,0OO for work already
performed during the time the new
scale was being negotiated.
There has been no indication OF what
the companys attitude will be as re-
CARDS the metal tradesmen except the
statement that no new Overtures will
De made TO them.

that they run for only 10 years with
the option of taking them up at the
end of five years. The state expert

Relief for Taxpayers.

Montana property owners who are
aggrieved at the valuation placed by

decision there before their complaints
will be heard by the state board of

rendered by Attorney General S. C.
Ford. This ruling was made in re-
Spouse to various inquiries regarding
assessment under the new classified
property taxation measure, under
which assessors fix all values at what
they believe to be the full and true
cash value of the property. Assess
ments under this law are about four
times what they We're last year.

NeutraIized Poison Gas.

"Neutralizing ointment" is one of
the latest war inventions. 1t is pub
licly revealed In an official description
of the protective devices against gas
attacks issued to our troops. The
mask, with its contained chemicals
for neutralizing any poisonous fumes
that creep in is familiar. But one So
called gas is liquid and because of
its blistering effect the soldiers have
given 1t the name Of mustard gas"
When an area is drenched with the
stuff the menace may persist for many
days. The peril is not from the liquid
itself. Mustard gas burns through the
clothing, and makes painful wounds
where the flesh is reached. The newly
invented ointment must apparently be
rubbed all over the body, as well us on
face and hands, to prepare the sol.
dier when the enemy's bursting shells
are spraying this horrible gas about.
