ELY SAYS COAL
PRlCESSHOULD
NOT BE RAISED
Federation Head Declares OPP
orators Saved Money
During Strike.

Any increase in the price charged
for coal by retailers would be entirely
unjustified, according to Stephen Ely,
president of the Montana Federation
of Labor, who was in Great Falls Mon
day on his way home to vote in the
primary election.
THE operators are misleading the
public when they say that the strike
justifies such an increase" said Ely.
"As a matter of fact, the operators
actually saved money on the mines by
reason Of the strike this summer.
Plenty Of Coal Orders.
"The maintenance of the mines
when closed was nothing to what it
would have been had the mines been
kept in continued readiness each day to
have the whistle blow the next il ne
cessary, as is the case during the nor
NAL summer. with not enough orders
to pay for the additional expense.
Now the operators find themselves
with plenty of orders for coal and
with difficulties in the railway situa-
ton which make it impossible for COM
petition between mines to work out
lower prices. Don't say the public
pays for the strike. Who is the pub
lie? It's paying for something that
didn't cost the operators anything. o
can say that both sides won the strike
because the operators won the place
where they can dictate prices"
Ely said that there seemed to be
plenty of work for the mines, but de-
plored the fact that the railway cars
are not forthcoming to make steady
work possible.
Should Buy In Summer
TOO many mines, too many miners
and the fact that the public won't
learn that they should buy their coal
in the summer when the work is need
ed are the causes of continued diff
ficulties in the mine situation. Ely
said The summer is the ideal time
for the mine to work. Then is when
the men are idle. If householders
would buy their coal in summer, min
ers would have %steadier work, fewer
mines would be needed and would OPP
crate more efficiently and eventually
the public would get cheaper coal"
Ely said that he had no intimation
of difficulties between the operators
and miners at Sand Coulee until he ar
rived in Great Falls. He said that
should these misunderstanding con-
tinue, the state organization would act
to settle them quickly.

j. s. RAIDERS ARREST BAATz::'
CELLAR OF BOTTLES.
Building Proprietor Accused of Violating Prohi-
bition Law; Rare Assortment of Goods
Are Seized by Officers.

The raid was conducted under the
direction of John Fl. Metcalf, acting
state director of prohibition, assisted
by E. NJ. Welliver, chief field deputy;
Dan C%orcoran, federal prohibition
agent, Sheriff Bob Gordon and Guy
Palagi, deputy sheriff. The raid was
begun about 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing and lasted about two hours. Virtu-
ally all of the liquor found by the
officers was in the basement vault. 1t
was taken to the county Jail in a truck
and stored, to be used as evidence
when the case comes up for trial in
federal court.
All of the alleged liquor was stored
in eight boxes, each holding several
cases. Officers say that the assortmen emit
of liquors seized, disregarding the ex-
tracts for coloring and flavoring, re-
sembled what might have been grabbed
at random from a saloon or wholesale
liquor house of the old days in the dark
without idea as to the type of re-
freshment being taken. 1t is almost a
complete memory picture of drinks of
the days when cellars were considered
an institution instead of a sin, say the
officers. 1t looked like a sample store
house of catch weight sizes of bottles,
and variety of stock, they said.

Monday morning the vault in the
basement of the Baatz block, 400 Sec
ond avenue south, was, it is alleged,
all dressed up m blackberry cordials, a
few bottles of champagne, old wines,
creme de chassis, and many bottles of
whisky flavoring. By a little after noon
it was stripped to its concrete walls.
A raid of federal and state officers
ruined a cellar well stocked.
Nick Baatz, proprietor Of the place,
was arrested on a federal bench war
rant, charged with violating the ma
tional prohibition law, by Deputy
United States Marshal A. G. Satire.
He was given a hearing before United
States Commissioner W. S. Frary,
who bound him over to the federal
court under $500 bonds, which were
furnished. Baatz will probably be ar
raigned in federal court here next
week, federal officers said.
1t was a cellar stocked with inten-
tons, good or evil as the taste decides,
officers said. There were bottles and
jugs Of alleged moonshine. bottles of
many varieties of whisky flavoring,
specializing in Bourbons, and equip
ment for making moonshine look like
standard bonded goods of vintages long
rare, according to the officers.

MINES
NOW IDLE In
This COUNTY
Carbon Resumes Operations
With Contract System
in Effect.

With the exception of Lochray Mine
No. 4 and the Nelson property, all
coal mines at Belt, Sand Coulee, Stock
EFT and Tracy had opened Monday
morning, some of the works resuming
with the beginning of the week for the
first time since the termination of the
strike that made bituminous properties
the visit of Robert Condor of Bill
lings, state secretary of the United
Mine Workers, TO the Cascade county
mines. 1t was estimated Monday that
$50 men now have returned to work
IN the county.
Included with the mines that re-
sumed Monday was the Carbon prop
erty at Sand Coulee, where work was
suspended last Friday morning. owing
TO the refusal of the machine runners
to work on a contract basis. Before
that date, machine runners had been
paid on a straight day basis and the
crew walked out when the operators
put the contract system into effect. A
conference following the walkout estab-
lished that the operators were observ-
ing their agreement in establishing the
contract system and the men returned
to work with the contract system made
permanently operative.
$500 Tons Daily
The normal output of the mines in
these towns is in excess of $500 tons
daily, of which about 10 per cent is
consumed by the. householders of this
city. and the greater portion of the
rest by the railroads and smelter. This
resumption of industry insures a suf-
ficiency Of coal locally, provided winter
weather runs true to form q doesn't
break earlier than IS won't; according
dealers. Tt is expected that a nor,
NAL production basis will be arrived
az within 30 days. Nor is there any
fear at present that this coal cannot
be moved. If the rail strske continues
at present, with no Hntoward de-
there ia every indication

that plenty of cars will be available
for shipments, rail officials say.
Local dealers report that prices are
opening or the same general level as
last year. AS one dealer puts 1t,
Some grades are up % cents and
some have dropped 20 cents, but there
is practically no change" Nor is there
said to be any reason why buyers
must fear a jump in the tonnage price
over the normal season increase. But,
while the outlook is good. dealers Go
advise the buying of all possible coal
on this market and at this time, when
there is sure delivery.
Reports from other sections of the
state indicated that operators and min
ers are getting together and properties
r~eopening at all points, looking forward
to normal output in the shortest pos
sible time.
Farmers Holding Grain
Very little grain is moving over
either the Butte or Montana divisions
of the Great Northern railroad, accord
ing to advices from Superintendent w.
r. Smiths office. Each division is
accepting shipments a~ggregating only
% to 80 cars daily, but this is because,
according to the railroad, farmers are
holding their grain because of the low
market which prevails just now.
At the peak of the grain shipping
season. the Great Northern is in the
habit of handling as high as $50 cars
a day, and is in position to handle
shipments on that scale at the present
time. Cars are moving back into serv-
ice off the west side rip track at the
rate of IS a day, which is even better
than under normal conditions. There
are more men than normally working
on the repair gangs.
1t is said that farmers are not will
ing to ship ut the present market prices
and, generally, are holding their yields
except where q shortage Of money
forces them to ship. in the expectation
that prices will take an upward trend
within a short time.

OF W0MAN'S STORY

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 27:--
James Mills, husband of the local
choir-leader who was found mur-
dered together with Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall on a farm near here

statements made yesterday by Mrs.
A. M. Opie, of Carman street, his
next-door neighbor, concerning Mrs.
Mills intimate relations with the
slain rector. Mrs. Opie was yester-
day quoted as saying that she had
heard Mrs. Mills tell her husband
"she cared more for Rev. Mr.. Halls
little finger than for Mills whole
body" The married couple had
numerous quarrels over Mrs. Mills

company, Mrs. Opie said yesterday.
and this was also denied this morn
ing by Mills.
Mills was questioned but a short
time yesterday afternoon in the
prosecutors Office, Henry Stevens

person examined. He was not de-
tanned more than thirty minutes

learned tniS morning, advanced any
theory as to how or why the rector
and sexton's wife were murdered.
Mike DeCandia told newspaper

convicts had been living on barge
at the foot of Carman street up an
