WE do believe, however, that house

some Butte merchants have been

HIGH COST OF LIVING

COMMITTEE ON INVESTIGATION
FINDS QUESTION OF MA

Since the settlement of the strike in
Butte and the resumption of opera
tons by the mining companies, the
question Of the high cost of living has
come to the front with increased in
terest. The miners having accepted a
cut Of 81 per day in wages, they nat
urally feel that corresponding reduc-
tons should be made In the prices Of
commodities that enter into the cost
of living The justice Of this conten-
ton Is fully conceded by the mining
companies as well as by the people Of
Butte generally and systematic effort
is being made to bring about this re-
lief. The problems that confront the
people of Butte are present in every
community, and the efforts being
made in Butte to solve them are
therefore of interest. At mass
meeting of citizens two weeks ago a
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the prevailing high prices and If
