Territory To Be Party to

Roads Recruit Many Men

important as is the decision of the
general policies committee cf the
shipments unions sanctioning individ-
uai settlements with the railroads. il
will have little if any effect on the
strike situation so far as the big roads
in the Eastern group are concerned, it
is declared. This view among railroad
executives is based first on the large
percentage of mechanics they have
been able to recruit to replace the
strikers, and, second, on the growth
of the company union" movement, to
which at least four of the larger roads
the Pennsylvania, New Haven, Della
ware & Hudson and the Jersey Cen.
tral--now stand avowedly committed.
The formation Of company union
by the Pennsylvania was begun some
time ago, the New Haven and the Della
ware g. Hudson announcement came
some weeks ago and yesterday w. G.
Bessler, president Of the Jersey Cen
trail, announced the organization of
company union among the 5000 shop
men employed at the main shops at
Elizabethport, N. J. None of the other
railroads have made public announce
ment of the organization of company
unions but 1t is definitely known that
number of them have completed the
preliminary work Of organizing the
crafts on this basis.
See Little Chance for Strikers
With between 85 and 80 per cent of
the normal working force made up of
new men hired to replace strikers and
enrolled In company unions, the men
now on strike are thought to stand
little chance Of forcing a settlement
even on the basis of the concessions
Of seniority and other rights by the
unions in the Chicago agreement.
The gravity of the situation in which
the strikers Of the metropolitan district
find themselves was recognized by the
central strike committee several days
ago when it sent a telegram TO Presi-
dent Bert NJ Jewell in Chicago urging
no settlements except on national
basis. 1t is believed they recognized
then that as far as the strikers on the
big Eastern roads are concerned their
one hope Of success rested on nation
wide settlement of the strike, which
would bring the larger railroads in.
Indications are now that the $4,000
strikers on this group of railroads Will

County Board Wis.,
its Belt on Friday

Ben C. Johnston, l.. H. Kommers
and Gilbert T. Boyd, constituting the
board of county. commissioners, paid
the city short visit Friday while In.
specting roads in this vicinity. They
said the matter of the new bridge
at this point, they understood, was
progressing nicely in the offices Of the
state highway commission, and that
bids would probably be called for about
June l. 1t is the plan, they said, to
construct temporary plank bridge
a little further down the creek than
the present bridge to carry the traf-
fic while the new bridge is under con-
struction.
The board also stated that the road
to connect up the bridge built last
year a mile and a half down the
creek would be built as soon as pos
sible. Their attention was called TO
the fact that a petition was again be-
ing circulated asking for the building
of the proposed Orr Coulee road up
over the east bench. While the board
members did not commit themselves
as to what action would be taken
when the petition came before them,
all agreed that different route4lead-
ing TO the bench was necessity. The
survey for this new road has been
made and all that would be necessary
would be the setting of stakes and the
gaining of the consent of the board
to the work, were ii not for one piece
of right-of-way. One property owner
refuses to grant the county right-of-
waysapd tbs. petition asks that tbases
board institute proceedings to gain
title to this The people of this sec
tion feel that owing to the urgent
of this road that the board
would be perfectly justified in doing
this. It is expected that the petition
will soon be presented TO the board. |
The petition circulated here last
week asking for the immediate inn |
provement of the west road between |
Belt and Armington was filed with the |
Friday. The petition, I
which was signed by nearly 100 resi-
dents Of Bell and Armington, said the
road was subjected to heavy ravel and
was virtually impassable in spots.
The commissioners took the petition
lnder advisement.
A hearing was also held Friday on
he petition asking the abandonment
# the Belt-Red Butte road. The pc
itioners told the board that the Arm
ngton coulec road since il had been
served N OF the purposes
# the Beh-Red Butte road, and that
he latter was not being used at the
'resent time. The board reserved de-
ision, but as no protests were filed
gainst the petition. Chairman John
on said il would likely be granted. /,
nd Monday definite announcement
0 that effect was made.

Court Unavai|ing

The state supreme court last week
affirmed the decision Of the district
court Of Judith Basin county in the
case Of Clara Mccarthy, appellant,
against G. II Kelley, sheriff Of Judith
Basin county. The suit was instituted
in the district court Of Judith Basin
county for the purpose of obtaining an
Injunction TO prevent defendant from

scended to the woman and her child

MED the injunction.

Carthy shortly after the death Of her

Firemen Buy Ford
Truck TO FightF Fire

The Belt Volunteer Fire department
is about TO realize the ambition that
prompted their efforts the past two
years in staging their mid-winter
Carnival and Jubilee, and the people
of the city are about to receive their
second dividend from the money in
vested on these occasions-the first
dividend having been paid in the, en-
tertainment on the occasion the
events referred to-for at the meeting
of the department last Friday even-
ing a one-ton Ford truck was pur-
chased from the local agent. N. n.
Browning. which will be equipped
with two 30-gallon chemical tanks,
and to carry all the fire-fighting ap-
paratus that will be necessary in
handling most fires, including hose,
ladders, etc.
The work of equipping the truck
will be done by members Of he de-
partment and there will be no expense
to this except for material used. The
total cost will be approximately ST.
900, which vii be paid out of the
liitiftIl = iufius anu WHtlt inS puf-
chase of this equipment will consider
ably deplete it, will still leave the de-
partment several hundred dollars as
a nucleus with which to still further
improve the equipment and the SER
vice of the department. II is planned
to house the truck thus equipped, for
the present at least, at some central
point in the city which is heated in
the winter so that il may be ready |
for service at anytime. However il !
is the ultimate idea to 50 arrange the .
basement of the City Hall building
that the truck may be housed there, /
with one or more of the firemen sleep
ng in the building so that prompt re-
,ponse to fire alarms may be made,
At night, especially.
The department believes that with
his new equipment, together with the
of certain fire traps which
hey have in mind, that the insurance
ate may be lowered here, and will
continue to work toward this end
They are entitled not only to appre-
.iation Of the citizens for the steps
Ilready taken. but to the fullest CO.
'peration in future matters to come

City Council Gets Down to Business,
Mi|IaTd Names Appointive Officers

have IL days leave per year with pay.
John Sommerville was again appoint
ed to the position. Mr.. Sommervslle
told the council some of the troubles
of his department in the collection of
retals, the illegal use of water, etc.
He was given the assurance of the
council that he would have the backing
of that body in conducting his de-
partment under the rules and reguia-
tions laid down by the state public
utilities commission, which in reality
has supervision over all city water
plants.
Wages for city employees were fixed
as follows: Water works helpers,
s4.00 per day; city men, $3.50; team
sters, $4.00; helpers, $3.50. One dollar
more per shift is to be paid to men
doing scavenger work. Owing to the
fact that the upper floor of the City
Hall building has no tenant at present,
the servicesof a janitor were dis
pensed with.
The council extended the local post
of the American Legion vote of
thanks for having promoted the clean
up campaign, and also granted the
Legion the use of Castner City park
for their Fourth of July celebration,
providing the rate, which is to be
fixed later, is, acceptable.
When the reading of the bills was
called for, Alderman Brodie called at
tention to the fact that there was one
from Frank Polutnik, Jr., for 1915
for services as city attorney from Feb
ruary, 1921, to April, 1922, assigned
to the Farmers & Miners State bank
The council at an earlier date had
taken action eliminating all salary for
the office The bill was held over
month for investigation.
Friday, Mayor Millard, acting on
the agreement reached by the council
the preceding evening, appointed AL
bert Castner as temporary police of
ficer, he beginning his duties that day,
enforcing the ordinances relative TO
the stock and chickens running at
large, and succeeding in picking up
few.

Operators Withdraw Scale
Posted April First

Following the return of the Operat-
ors from the conference. Of the Mon
tana Coal Operators association at
Billings last week, the wage scale no.
tees posted at the various mines in
this field at the time the miners went
out on strike, April /. were taken
down, and it is said that similar action
was taken in all the camps of the
state. The wage scale offer thus
withdrawn was for $500 to $3.50 for
inside work.
The taking down Of the proposed
scale notices is taken in some quar-
ters to mean that a new scale lower
than that first offered will be posted
by the operators, while in other quar-
ters it is taken to mean that wage
scale offer is anticipated from the
state miners. There is a report pre-
valent among labor men Of Great Falls
in organizations other than the myers
union, but who are close to the state
officials Of that organization. that the
question Of the national agreement ~
going to be dropped by the unions.
Labor men say that the national
agreement was never popular with the
but was held to by the organ
zatlon through the influence Of John
L Lewis, the national president. In
he light Of this report, it is felt that
he withdrawal of the former offer
'or wages may be in anticipation OF
IN offer from the unions of the state.
