WORKER
White Arts and
Crafts Club Presents Pc
tition to City Officials.
More Coming.

AS the result Of recent exposures
in the Bulletin of the immoral con-
ditions under which many Of the girl
and women employees of establish
ments in Butte are forced to labor
and Of the pitfalls which lie in wait
for innocent young women in many
parts of the city, the Marion White
Arts and Crafts club yesterday after
noon filed petition with the city
clerk demanding the appointment of
"a woman welfare worker, who shall
be vested with police power and who
shall be insured the cooperation of
the police and sheriff's departments.
The petition will be presented to
the city council at it's next regular
meeting and it is expected that
strings of delegations, not alone from
the Arts and Crafts club, but from
other women's organizations Of the
city will be present to insist on a
departure from the policy Of vaccia-
ton hitherto pursued by Mayor Stod-
den and the present city administra-
ton.
Further revelations of conditions
obtaining among the girl workers of
the city will be made public within
the next few days by members OF the
committee of Investigators which has
been engaged in surveying condi-
tions in the mercantile establish
ments Of Butte for some time past.
1t is declared that the revelations so
far given to the public are but q
small part of those which will be
made public as the need requires.
people of the city have but little
realization of the immoral condi-
tions which the young people of the
city are faced" said one of the in
vestigators today. 'rhe great Won
Ger is that the list of those who have
succum bed to immoral conditions
which confront them is not larger.
1t is to the everlasting credit Of the
young womenhood of Butte that the
| investigation shows that the girls
who have maintained their purity in
the face of such odds is so much
greater than the number of those
who have fallen. The great ma
jority of girls who are forced tC
work for their living in the depart
ment stores and other establish
ments of the city are to be con-
graduated. .'m ts.~s

BELGIAN COAL MINERS
TO FIGHT PRICE RAISE
(By the Federated Press J

Brussels, Feb. 12.--The central
federation of miners in Belgium has
demanded that an investigation be
made into the profits of the coal
operators before they be allowed to
increase the price of coal. In a let
ter to the operators, Alfred Lom-
bard, secretary of the miners feder-
alton, declares that on the basis of
official figures the operators have
been making an average of 8 per
cent profits instead of S, as they had
claimed.
Lombard also declared that the
raise of francs so (about SO cents)
a day won by the men after their
strike this winter did not justify the
raising of the coal by 20 cents ton.
Before the strike, says Lombard.
operators were making at least Sl.6O
a ton. The production in October
having been $40 kilos per miner per
day, the increase of SO cents to the
daily wage would still be left.
For an industry that made good
deal Of money in the war, that would
seem to be enough" remarked Lom-
bard

Staff Correspondent, Federated Press
Washington, Feb. 12.-There is
one official in Washington who re-
fuses to take an increase in pay. He
is Anthony Caminetti, commissioner
Of immigration in the department of
labor.
Secretary Wilson has been trying
for weeks past to transfer Caminotti
to the job of commissioner of immi-
grafton at the port of New York.
The New York job pays $6,510 a
year. The Washington post pays
only $4,000 year, but it's incum-
bent is boss Of the whole imm gra-
tion (and deportation) business.
SO Caminetti sticks to his present
job. He hates the "reds," and TO
him red is said to be anyone who
thinks American institutions are i'll
need of fundamental alterations. In
his present position Caminetti can
issue deportation warrants broadcast
and otherwise play a front-page role
in the general business of harassing
the radicals of alien status.
He is easily the most forceful per-
sonality in the department Of labor.
And he has formed close working
alliance with Attorney General Pal
mer. This alliance is believed to
have rendered Secretary Wilson,
and his first assistant, Louis f. Post,
almost helpless when it comes to
policies and precedents for the labor
department.
There is more to the story. Will
liam Jennings Bryan put Caminetti

STRIKERS IN ENGLAND
TO FORCE GREAT QUIZ
(By the Federated Press.)

New York, Feb. ia govern
mont investigation OF the engineer
ing industry OF England following
th refusal by $4,000 striking mo!ders
to accept q compromise wage order,
seemed probable from last adVices.
The men, who have been on strike
since Sept. 23 for an increase OF S4
q week for men and 50 for appren-
tices under 1S-giving wage Of 81
a day, refused the offer agreed upon
in a Joint conference of union
officials and the Engineering En-
poyers' association, which offered
an advance Of $1.25 a week and no
yictimization.
1t was argued by the men that the
minister OF labor should be asked to
institute an inquiry into the profits
and conduct of the engineering in
dustry in order to establish the JUS
tice of tho mems claims.
The vote to reject the terms in
creased the probability that the
Scotch mo!ders would join the
strike. They had remained at work
at the request of English workers,
who hoped to settle their demand
without extending the strike.

Palmer arc also old personal friends
and close political associates. But
they have split on the issue of free
speech, deportations and "sadtions" :"
| hear that Secretary Wilson has
appealed to Bryan for help in get
ting rid of Caminetti. Nothing
rough is contemplated by Secretary
Wilson. He wants to promote
Caminetti, to elevate him, to ;,t-
vance him, in a word to deport him
from Washington to New York at a
$1,000 increase in salary.
Whatever he may think about the
extra 81, 800, Caminetti is convinced
that he can help Palmer's presiden-
tlal boom more by remaining in
Washington. And he is credited with
Il great desire to serve the man who
is most likely, in his opinion, to be
the next president OF the United
States.
Another angle complexities the
situation in CaminettiS favor. The
republican party is planning to make
capital out Of democratic persecu-
ton Of liberals, provided the present
outcry against repression continues
and grows in volume. AS Il whole,
the republican leaders think only OF
the votes to be had. On the qucs-
tion of radicalism they will damn the
democrats if they 90 and damn them
if they don't, until the people as Il
whole make up their minds.
So-called radicalism in the labor
department (wherc none really ex-
ists) has been a regular target for

goods to the Germans.
According to the comment in the
official report Of the trial:
CAS- the investigation proceeded,
it became evident that there was
grave irregularity in the adminis-
tration of Sarrbruck; and the evi-
dencc became more and more grave"
Captain Haym, assistant commits
sary at Sarrbruck, when asked why
he had begged TO be relieved from
his post, declared that he had felt
that he was living in an atmosphere
of ''rotten intrigue and that lie did
not approve OF the policy of Minister
Loucheur in the Sarro.
Captain Nadaillac, chief commits
sary was asked why he allowed one
of the principal men indicted, Rous-
seau, to open q commerce exchange
at Sarrbruck.
Nadaillac replied:
81 had received orders to that ef-
feet from my chief (Loucheur) and
know that the matter had been
discussd by the cabinet l couldn't
balk at the thing when a cabinet
minister ordered it,"

fective Tuesday, which already has
been sent the 100000 brotherhood
OF Maintenance of Way employees,
Vice President Malloy said today,
adding:
"The only thing to avert the strike
is the granting of our demands"
Secretary Tumulty conferred with
Director General Hines early this
morning, obtaining from Lines a
statement OF the wage controversy
to be laid before President Wilson.
It is expected the president will
give the railroad workers tomorrow
hIs answer to their demands for i'm
mediate wage increases which they
have been pressing in their negotia-
tions with Hines.
Following the announcement that
the president will meet with the rail
workers personally, Secretary Lans-
ing admitted he had Cancelled all
cabinet meetings until further no.
tice. 1t was recalled that the cabi-
net handled the coal strike, so the
cancellation Of the bi-weel1ly cabinet
meetings are regarded as showing
the president intends to handle the
railway situation alone.
These negotiations have been in
progress since Feb. 3. Before the
meeting of the railroad men and the
president, the latter will study the
whole wage controversy which was
postponed last summer when he re-
quested the men to give the govern
ments fight to lower the cost of liv-
ing a chance to show results.
Union leaders are not optimistic
over the possibility of getting from
the president the complete demands.
Administration officials, however.
believe they will prevent the strike.
