According to Watts story before

Seattle that there was no labor

coats recruiting officer in Seattle
informed him, as we'll as most of the
others brought here, that Butte was
an open-sEop town. He said that
had he known there was q lockout
on here he would never have come.
Apparently. according to the testi-
mony, Watts soon asccrtained that
the real trouble in Butte was lock-
out and that he was being employed
as a strikebreake and that he was
anxious to obtain his fare back to
Seattle and leave here. 1t was ap-
parent that that was the reason for
his presence in Raincoat's office last
night and presumably the reason for,
as he alleged, the 'frameup" OF st.

According to the evidence offered
before Judge Grimes, Raineoat's Of

being the practice Of the Associated

ing scabs that they arrive here on

to avoid any undue notice of their
arrival.

terious pretexts for not concluding
the loan then began to arise Oil this
side OF the Atlantic. To hasten the
transaction the Ebert government
named Il financial mission to visit
the United States.
Then occurred an incident which
illustrates the real poverty of the
former German regime. The Ebert
government informed its semi
official agent in America that $780,
900 would be needed to defruy the
expenses of the visiting mission.
Due to the abnormal exchange artes,
it would cost the German govern
ment. no less than 100000 marks
to raise $4,000 at home.
These terms were so excessive
that Ebert appealed to the agent in
America TO obtain an advance of
$4,000 in the United States. The
agent undertook that task, bat bank

Raincoat's Office Scene of
Battle Between Coast SCabs'

Inside dope as to the lying mis-
representations through which many
of the mechanics from Seattle are
being imported into butte to break
the local building trades lockout
was aired in police court this morn
ing when Peter st. Johns, said to
be one of the imported carpenter
scabs, appeared as complaining Wit
ness against w. Watts, who had
been brought here to scab as a
painter. And the most interesting
feature of the whole affair is the
fact that it was the waiting room,
or outer room of J. Hook Raincoat's S
Associated Industries office on the
third floor Of the Lewiston build
ing that was the battle-ground on
which st. Johns and several OF his
fellow scabs warred with Watts last
night.
st. Johns had filed a charge Of
disturbance against Watts. After
thoroughly Sitting the evidence Of
this quarrel among scabs and one
man who refused longer to be a scab,
Police Judge Grimes dismissed the
defendant Watts.
According to Watts, the practice
of the Associated Industries is to ad-
vance $24 to every scab recruited in
Seattle for fare from the coast city

Washington, March 23. The
league of nations mission to investi-
gate conditions in Russia may be
turned back before it reaches the
borders OF that country.
Moscow's decision, plainly stated
to the entent powers, is likely to
be that only governments wh;ah
make known their own official at
titude toward Russia will be free
to send missions there.
A compromise solution is consid-
cred possible, based upon the COM
plete freedom OF Soviet missions to

tions' Stunning trip" into Russia.
Armed with full authority to
conclude contracts with the Soviet
government, a representative of a
Chicago packing corporation arrived
at Copenhagen a few days ago, en-
route to Russia. There he was
courteously informed by Maxim
Litvinoff, assistant commissar for
foreign affairs, that the Chicago
packers would have to procure
some statement of policy from the
American government before their
representatives would be admitted to
Russia.
In this connection, one of the
packing corporations is said to aim
at making a deal for the establish
ment of a large packing plant on
the lower Volga, for the preparation
of Russian meats exclusively for
export.
The political effect of Moscow's
refusal to admit commercial agents
to Russia in advance Of a statement
OF policy by the Washington admin
lstration is expected in the form Of
concerted demand by American
exporters for a showdown by the
state department.
