Butte, Mont, April 26.--In spite OF
the fact that the unions included In
the metal trades have refused to en-
dorse the strike of the metal mine
workers union number 500 /. W. W..
miners did not return to work this
morning in great numbers. Less than
one third OF the normal crews are
reported at the various properties
o plcketing was attempted this MORN
ing and the night passed without dis
turbances OF any kind. United States
soldiers again patrolled the avenues
leading to the mines. Police report
that many members OF the |. w. W.
are leaving the city.
Conferences called for today lead
TO the belief that the end Of tne
cooks and walters strike which has
been under way for four weeks, Is
near an end. The restaurants and
cafes included in the associated In
dustries still remain closed, but there
Is some prospect that the differences
involving them will be adjusted this
week. The situation in respect to the
strike Of the building trades remains
the same. II

ed to be doubt in the minds of several
growers about the advisability of hold
ing the berries at that price. In years
past the local processing plants have
handled all the berries that have been
grown in this vicinity but change in
the market headquarters seems newt
able unless the growers reconsider the
action taken at the meeting.
Labor Prices High.
Some of the growers contend that
the high price OF labor and supplies are
primary reasons for the demand of Ia
cents per pound for the product. Cam
ers and professors claim that high cost
of labor and material other than the
berries will prevent them from paying
the price asked and it seemed to be
the general opinion Of all buyers and
some growers that the price charged
for the pool viii result seriously to the
industry and temporarily put some OF
the local enterprises out Of business.
Speaking of the help question Sam

eral growers the help problem is going
TO be serious one this season Grow
ers in other parts Of the county, Il is
said, will offer mere for picking than

and in this event pickers In Salem may
