GREEN BUTTE MAKES
 IMPROVEM EN ITS

During the past week eight carloads of lumber, consigned to the Green Butte Mines Go. arriv ed in Mccarthy, and a large mount has already been trans ported to the mine. The present shipment of material is to be used in the construction of first class dormitory at the upper camp. While a crew of men are busy up above, a large force is putting up a fine log building at the lower camp, and otherwise putting things in shape for the accommodation of a full crew thru the winter months.
 Through the efficent manage ment of the owners, the Green Butte is now ranked among the copper producers of the district, whereas year ago it was con sidered only mighty good pro spect. That the owners are con fdent of the future is amply shown in the manner they are making preparations for the em ploy ment of full crew during the winter, in spite of the price of copper.

 Whether or not the federal gov ernment can exercise the power of price fixing and regulation" he said.

EXPLOIT CONNECTS IN
 WEST VIRGINIA PEN

Morgantown, w Va, Dec. 2I.-- This states record on the industrial field, with it's gun men and private armies, Is similar to it's treatment of helpless convicts who are housed III its penitentiary at Moundsville. The system at this prison was condemned bytJ. Howard Holt, chairman of the committee on crime of the state bar association, which held it's annual con vention in this city. MT. Holt said there are I,585 men in Moundsvilfe, and most of them are exploited by contractors, who secure this labor for 70 cents day.
 'Under this contract said MT. Holt, leach prisoner must average from I2 to I8 workmen's shirts per day. This means that one of these shirts costs from four to six cents. The material costs 36 cents, and the shirt sells for ST. 1t is. understood that there arc now more than 500 convicts working under this contract and the contractor and associates make a profit of hundreds of thous- ands of dollars yearly"
 MT. Holt said that the cells inAthis prison are five fet wide, eight feet long and seven feet high: Into many of these cells the sun has never shone,'' he added "And it Is needless to say that in such limited space there is no room for exercise. Tn nearly every case two men are con fined in each cell With the utmost care that can be exercised by any ad- ministration these conditions breed immortality and degradation. There are only about five acres of yard space for these I,585 men to occupy. They are crowded in the, shops, Tn the yard, and at night confined in these nnsanitary cells. There IS no time nor opportunity, for privacy. Men are infected with tuberculosis Some of them die within the walls and some of them go forth to spread the dis ease in the outside world.

Would Reduce Wages
 But For Miners Union

Somerset, Pa, Dec. 22.-Anti-uni coal owners in this county would ap- preciate information on how to reduce wages, and at the same time keep em- ployes out of the Miners union.
 Wages were cut two years ago, but these business men mournfully acknow- ledge that this made matters worse The Miners union gained many recruits, a strike followed, and nationwide publici- ty of deplorable conditions in Somerset county resulted. The coa owners are not unit in the wage-cutting propos Some of them decare the plan is toe risky. Even if successful, they say, ii would not result in more business. These coal owners take this position not from sympathy with their employees, but from the fear that employees vii flock to the union and more publicity be given at a time when the coal industry needs every friend possible.
