STRIKE SETTLEMENT
NEWS PLEASING To
Government CHIEFS
Era of Prosperity Looked for
as Result of Peace
Negotiations.

Washington, Sept disagreement
between a number of key railroads and
the shop craft unions upon basis for
ending the strike of machinists and
associated workers was received
Wednesday with unanimous approba-
ton by administration officials.
Having in view the recent example
of the bituminous strike. the settle
ment of which was inaugurated by
similar separate settlement between
the miners and an influential minority
of the operators, government leaders
generally interpreted the authorization
of B. NJ. Jewell, strike leader, to pro-
ceed with negotiations on basis al
ready accepted by a number OF the
roads, as the beginning of the END OF
the transportation strike as q whole. .
Restoration of peace between roads
and employees would mean the removal
of the last obstacle which has prevent
ed the coming of period of national
prosperity, according to several cabinet
members and government economic
experts, President Harding is known
to have been convinced of this by re-
ports laid before him and is said to
have stressed the expected beneficial
effect of a strike settlement In the
conferences here looking to that end.
Davis Issues Statement
Secretary Davis, in statement is
sued as soon as he was advised OF the
action of the unions policy committee,
congratulated American industry on
having overcome the last obstacle IN
the way of the greatest economic re-
vival the nation has ever known.
The American workman faces Pc
riod of plentiful employment, the IA
bor secretary said, at the same high
wages which prevailed before the re-
cent period of depression.
Secretary Davis was the first among
government officials to receive news
of the break" in Chicago. and he per-
sonallv conveyed his information to
President Harding, who was said to
have been outspoken in expressing his
qualification.
According to reports to Mr.. Davis
between 35 and 40 per cent of the
countrv's railroads, with an aggregate
mileage of between 5000 and $4,000
miles, are affected by the potential
settlement.
So Roads to Settle
Other officials of the labor depart
ment had been advised. they said. that
5o railroads had definitely aligned
themselves among those favoring a
settlement along the lines prepared
for submittal to the strikers policy
committee.
Alfred p Thom general counsel of
the Association of Railway Executives,
declared he was without official con-
firmation of the union decision or of
details as to the settlement basis the
x.ommittae had under consideration.
Mr.. Thorn added, however, that he had

sted Press) Effort by members OF
the delegation from Silver Bow. county
to secure withdrawal of the lndorse-
ment of the eighteenth amendment ana
of the Volstead act from the partys
state platform failed in the democratic
state convention here Wednesday.
Plea by John J. Caplis, nominee for
the lower house of the legislature from

Volstead act was met with reply from
former Governor s. V. Stewart, per-
manent chairman of the convention
who vacated his chair to take the tloor
and urge that with the record OF the
republican party In regard to ENFORCE
ment of the Volstead act the demo

Republicans Fiayed
I'VE denounce the cowardly and in
sincere attitude of the republican ma
tionaI administration toward the
eighteenth amendment. An administra-
ton that has shown itself to be
"wiggly and wobbly' on prohibition en-
forCement as on other things, has de-
feated the will of the people In the
matter of prohibition apd made law
enforcement a mockery. The national
administration has not only, violated
the spirit Of the eighteenth amend
ment by appointing known vets to
ragged decency and shocked morality
by a course of conduct utterly out OF
harmony with the expressed will OF
the people, notably by permitting the
service of liquor on ships operated by
the United States shipping board. We
pledge four efforts to the enforcement
of the provisions of the eighteenth
amendment and of the VoIstead act"
Reference to the present republican
administration in Montana was as
follows:
when the present republican state
administration came into power on
January l, 1921, the overdraft on the
general fund of the state was S1,257,-
R69, and after IS months of the pres
ent administration, the general fund
overdraft amounted to 81. .762. .345. an
Increase in indebtedness of more than
e1,50O.O0O in one and a half years.
while taxes had increased during
the period of the war and increasing
costs from 1000, 900 in 1912 to $25,-
100000 in 1920. or an average of
100000 a year. in 1921 this had
grown to $27.443, 900, or an increase
Of 81, ,443,OO0 in one year.

Ingly remembered in the county by
many warm friends to whom this
announcement brings indispensable
sorrow. Miss Lefty had been in
poor health for year or more and,
though the ultimate result of the in
Sldious malady - diabetes - from
which she suffered meant the gray
est solicitudc and apprehension for
her parents and friends, the i'm :
mediate cause Of her unexpected
and almost sudden dcmisc was an
attack of flu. The death of This love
ly and devoted daughter in The
charm and beauty of promising
young wO!nanhOod came as Il crush
ing blow, an irTcparablc loss TO her
devoted parents. Sorcly bcrcft al .
ready in the loss OF five Of their
children. among them their only
son, and leaving The number reduced
10 twO-a married and an unmarried
daughter.
If there be even n measure Of conSo =
lation for them in the sympathy
of friends, Capt. and Mrs. Wi!hrOw
may feel assured that they have it
from all their many friends III Green
bricr, who mourn with them, but
have no hope.
With a highly cultivated mind, q
charming personality, winning man
nerS and a talent for muse, vocal
and instrumental lin which she had
reached high degree of proficiency
and excellence, Miss Lefty was an
ornament in the social circles in
which she moved, and her death
leaves vacant place at home and
among her associates which time Or
