LAB0RERS ARE WINNING STRIKE
Most Smaller Employers Sign Up
With Workers; Car Service Down

AS the result of efforts of JaWn
III. RaincOat and his Associated In
tluStricS to prevent the carrying out
Of tho orders or the three district
Judges requiring the sheriff to en-
plOy union ianitOrS to clean out the
courtrOomS and quarters occupied
by the Judges and thcir StaffS and
to pay the SO per day wage scale, il
was stated this morning that both
Raincoat and his association narrowly
escaped being hailed into court on
charges OF contempt. The Associated
| Industries, however, abandoned its
efforts to combat the orders Of the
district judges.
Statements issued this morning
by the press committee of the Work.
ingmcn'S union stated that this
morning, as the Workingmcn's
strike enters its fifth day, the posi-
ton of the strikers is in.ncasurably
stronger while that of the employ
clS is more dcmOraliZeu than ever.
Most Of the smaller employers Of
common labor have already signed
the new wage agreement, it was
stated.
Today marked the seeond day of
cessation of street railway service
because Of the strike OF laborcrs.
There were ru!norS, however, that
within the next few days the Butte
Electric Railway company would
meet the new wage agreement and
that car service would be restored
as soon as the laborcrs who would
go back to work at the carbarns
could replace WORKOUT brake lin
ings on the cars. 1t was stated
that following conference between
a committee of the Street Garments
union and Manager Wharton of the
railway company yesterday afternoon,
the committee reported that Whar-
ton had requested the carmen not
to leave town ON amy extended
trips. This was taken to indicate
the probability OF the car company
signing an agreement with the
WOrkingmcn's union soon.

are many who have spent much time
