COAL STRIKE IN Brief.

Henry C. Spencer, general purchas-
ing agent for the war time railroad
administration, was appointed federal
coal administrator for the duration OF
the coal strike emergency by Presi'
dent Harding.
Senator Borah, chairman of the
senate labor board committee, con-
ferred with President Harding with
regard to the bill proposing a federal
commission to inquire into the coal in
dustry.
President Harding, it was said, con-
templates no new step in the coal
strike situation, feeling confident that
enough coal will be produced event
ually to meet the country's needs.
Secretary Hoover announced the
governors Of "a states have under
taken to erect machinery necessary to
control coal profiteering and the dis
tribution Of coal within their borders.
Gov. McCray, Of Indiana, announced
after a conference with Indiana opera
tors that the operators said they
would not negotiate a four-state
agreement with the United Mine
Workers.
Three coal carrying railroads, the
Norfolk and Western, the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Louisville and Nash
vile, declared embargoes over their
lines against acceptance OF any freight
except ~foodstuffs, live stock and fuel.

Der of the national coal distribution
committe which President Harding
appointed several days ago to ration
the available fuel supply.
Governors OF the following states
have undertaken to erect the necess
AIRY administration to control profit

their states:
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan
Wisconsin. North Dakota. Minnesota
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hamp

Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and
Louisiana. Kansas already has an
establishment under its industrial
court. 1t is not considered necessary
TO establish coal control in the inter.
mountain and Pacific states, as they
have supplies of coal and fuel oil.
1t was reiterated upon the highest
authority. that a state. such as iii
nois, which has large coal deposits
within it's confines may expect no aid
from the federal government in get
ing it's fuel supply until 1t has ex'

At the White House Ii was stated
that President Harding looks to states
with large coal deposits to do some OF
the worrying ove the coal problem
themselves and not to look to the fed
eral government to help them out oil
their predicament.

The northwest Indians have de-

for such animals comes from the
cities and rural districts where the
medium weight draught horse can
be used to the best advantage. In
wartime such a horse was the

year broke all records. IL
Charles NJ. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, and John H.
Mullen, deputy commissioner and
chief highway engineer, made only
brief comment on the remarkable
showing. They explained that the
use of federal highway aid and
reimbursement money was more
than twice the total of motor
vehicle taxes to date and for that
reason the highway department
was enabled to carry on a large
amount Of work. Counties with
large disbursement totals generally
are those with reimbursement

Butte, Mont, Nov. 2O.-After eight years without an organization the I2,OOO miners in the Butte dis trict have a union through which they will deal with the companies. This is the result of deliberations that have been going on for several weeks between representatives of the mining companies and the men at the mines. Without any Organi- zation the men had been getting S425 a day. Workers of the World attempted to start a walkOut for a S6 a day and a six-hour day. It was an absolute izzle. When the little breeze created by this effort Quieted down the companies voluntarily rais- ed the pay of the miners fifty cents day.
 After that the men working in the mines went obout organizing a union of their own, totally ignoring the radicals who had tried to start a strike.
 Several conferences of the mine managers and committees from the men were held. At one time the managers submitted the draft of what they considered would be a good constitution for such an or ganizatIon. This the men turned down and prepared one of their own, which has proved acceptable to the manager.
 Now the miners are organized into what Is officially known as the Butte Mine Workers Independent Union. the independent" part of the title meaning that It's activities will be confined to the Butte dis trict and that there .wIll be no af- hlation with the miners and smell termens' organization which succeed ed the old Western Federation of Miners.
 Reasons for not wishing any con nection with the international min CTS and smeltermens' organization will be found in the virtual extinc- ton of the old Butte Miners Union, probably the largest and most pow erfuI labor organization in any lO- cality in the world in It's time. It wcs dissatisfaction with the manage meut of that body over the heavy assessments 1t was leyying on the members of the affiliated bodies that

Bay, or Cooks Inlet. On the boat deck amldships will be located the mems smoking room, including a barber shop and a cigar counter. The mail clerks room and the wire less house will also be located on this deck.
 From the smoking room and from the observation room stairways will lead to the shelter deck. A large portion of this deck will be sheltered by movable glass windows so that during any rainy weather passengers will have the privilege of an open air prominade and at the same time be protected from beating in of rain or spray from over the side of the ship. The after end of the forward house on this deck will have tight suites of one bedroom and bath each, each room will be panelled with vehisote in attractive designs, fitted with Simmons steel bed, Pullman berths and sofa, baths to be of the latest design. Six rooms on each side of the after house will be ar ranged with inter-connecting bath. Here will also be located an at- tractiye lobby from which a stair way leads to the dining room, stair way to have mahogany rail, treads laid with linoleum. another lobby will be located aft. Throughout the ship all rooms will be two-berth only and in addition to those suites specified there will be additional showers and most modern plumbing facilities.
 More than the usual interest at- taches to this ship, due to the fact that It will be the first large steel passenger liner constructed on Puget Sound. Scores of cargo vessels were built during the war period and at both Tacoma and Seattle, war Ves- sells have been launched, but to the Todd plant at Tacoma will be given the distinction of constructing the first large passenger liner for the of shore trade and for that reason it marks another epoch in local ship construction while the Todd organ ization is on it's mettle at this early date in the endeavor to make this new liner credit to it's builders, to it's owners and to the people OI Alaska whom it primarily will aim to serve.
 Every effort will be made on the part of the builders to push the ship to completion and it is hoped that she will be ready for service next spring.

Butte Miners Spurn I,W.W, and

gave the radical element in he union the incentive to destroy 1t, which was done in 1914.
 It was on June 1S of that year that the Butte Miners Union start cd to celebrate it's anniversary as 1t had been doing for years, by a big parade and a general holiday. The radicals broke up the parade before 1t got well started and pro- ceeded to wreck the union hall, throwing everything out Ion the street, including the safe, which was carted out of town, broken into and footed.
 After the excitement had quieted down repairs were made to the hall, and things were going on more or less smoothly until the night of Oc- tober 23, when Charles H. Mover, president of the then Western Fed eration of Miners, came to Butte to straighten out matters. It was the signal for another outbreak.
 Mover and those friendly to him were virtually barricaded in the miners union hall. The front of the building was destroyed by ex- plosions of dynamite. Mover and those with him escaped by the rear windows. In the rioting one man was killed and several injured.
 That was the end of the old min ers' union. The men who brought about its demise formed another union, and they practically ran the town and the district for more than two months. The law was defied and the law ohicers helpless Finally the governor sent in the National Crdard, and ,hL miners mad formerly wlrked unia the proc ;-ti,. of their biz union trey now " ked without any organization.
 So for eight years the curious spectacle has been presented of the biggest mining camp in the world working with men unorganized in It's underground and surface labor, while every other line of industry about the mining properties was running under agreements with la bor organizations.
 With the new independent miners union. every class of labor in the district will once more be organized.
