Condemnation of local merchant
profiteers who raised the retail
prices on overalls arbitrarily as soon
as the school boys determined to
wear oyeralls instead of expensive
suits, was made by the board of
school trustees at their meeting last
night.
The matter was brought up by
Trustee G. j. Whiteley, who called
the boards attention to the in
creases made in their prices by the
merchants. Trustees Morley and
Nepper Joined in the discussion and
expressed indignation. Finally Nor
ley moved that the board condemn
such profiteering at the expense Of
the scholars in Butte's schools. Tho
motion, however, failed to specify
which particular stores were guilty
of the profiteering, it being the
sense of the board apparently that
practically all of the merchants
handling overalls, woolen shirts and
ginghams were responsible.

soft coal miners and to report recon-

mission was named Immediately
after the big coal strike which began
last September was temporarily set
tied when the men returned to work.
In the statement the miners assert
that unless substantial wage in

working conditions are given them
they will feel that full justice has
not been given them" The state

be put off with no more promises
by the government officials to lower
living costs.
"There has been a steady increase
in the cost of living since the first

ROSE PASTOR Stokes IS

wealthy New York socialist, was con-

and was sentenced to 10 years inn
prisonment, was yesterday reversed
by the United States Circuit court OF
appeals Mrs. Stokes was convicted
in the United States court at Kansas
City in June, 1918.
The reversal was ordered because
of the charge given the jury by Judge
A. S. Van Valkenburgh, which the
circuit court Of appeals held was
prejudicial to the interests of the ac-
cused. The trial of Mrs. Stokes fol-
lowed her arrest after she had writ

(By PAUL HANNA.)

(FcQerated Press correspondent
Washington, March 10.-There
will be no let-up in the demand OF
the railroad unions for higher wages.
In their final arguments with Direc-
tor General Hines, just before the
road went back to private control,
the workers proved that their pres
ent wages would buy fewer neces-
stiles every day, and that the cost OF
living promises to climb still higher
during this year and next.
AT present there are no plans for
a general strike of railroad men,
The unions are differed by men
whose chief task for a year past has
been to prevent strikes by persuad-
ing the men that their grievances
were about to be redressed in some
other way. The most notable sub
stitutes offered were the Plumb plan
and the pledge by President Wilson
last August that his aides in the ad,
ministration would surely bring
down the cost Of living if the men
would only be patient.
Since that time the cost of living
has gone up some IL per cent far
ther. while wages have stood still.
Glenn f. Plumb still insists tha
private operation under the Cum
Minis law will collapse within l:
months and bring the nation back tt
his plan as the only solution of thu
transportation problem. That is i'm
portant, if truc, but it does not re
lieve the present intolerable economi
pressure upon the workers.. "

the brotherhoods, confidentially
that he will give them a special Wag'

Premiers' Council Anxious
That Bolsheviki Armies
Be Demobilized as Condi-

Especial United Press Wire J

Especial United Press Wire.)
London, March 10.--Political OBJ
servers here considered it significant
that the declaration on economic con-
ditions in the world as drawn up by
the council of premiers and made
public last night makes no specific
recommendations regarding Russia
and mentions the Soviet nation only
BY pointing out it has armies Of over
l,5O0, 900 in the field and by sug
gesting that demobiliZation is one of
the primary conditions for European
peace.
1t had been believed the note
would treat Russia in considerable
detail. Applying to the councils
earlier recommendations for resump-
ton Of trade with Russia, the coun-
Gil agrees there is no short cut to
Europc's economic rehabilitation. 1t
believes general demoblllzation,
particularly in eastern Europe and
Russia would be Il vital step toward
this end.
The council recommends that
armies everywhere be reduced to 4
peace footing and that armaments
everywhere be limited to the point
as low as is compatible with safety,
The council recommends that new
states estab ablish friendly cooperation
and take steps to resume industries
and increase industrial production,
that extravaganza be suppressed
throughout the world, expenditures
reduced and steps taken to obtain
deflation OF currencies by the reduc-
tion OF governmental expenditures.
1t recommends that taxes be in
creased wherever necessary and that
provisions be made to obtain COM
mercial credits despite the exchange
situation. The removal Of trade OBJ
staclcs and the making of exchange
of essential commodities easy, the
council believes is one step toward
this end.
The council recommends that de-
! vastated areas be restored through
loans in anticipation of Germany S
reparations payments, and an extern
sion of the time allowed Germany
to make proposals for fixing the
total reparatlon.
