COuncilmen RenOminated at Cit
liens Meeting

Oakland's election on Monday will
be mere formality. The three retiring
councilmen and the retiring treasurer
were renominated at citizens meet
ing held last night in the City Hall.
W. R. Offutt was chairman and H. P.
Stuck, secretary, of the meeting.
With no opposing ticket in the field,
citizens were hopeful of abandoning
the coming election, but under the law
it will be necessary to go through with
the formality. To elect the candidates
to office one ballot will be all that is
necessary.
Candidates nominated last night
were: For Councilmen, j. W. Glot-
felty, VIM. R. Browning and Edward
A. Shaffer; for city treasurer, Mrs.
Anna Dixon.
The hold-over members of Council
are Milton Sincell, Lloyd C. Shaffer
and Arthur Lawton. Mayor Grover G.

fore the expiration of his term of Of

FIRE DESTROYS 4-STORY
BUILDING AT TERRA ALTA
Housed PostOffice; Stores; Loss
Is Placed at About $4,000

Fire destroyed the four story build
ing in Terra Alta, West Va, ten miles
west of Oakland, known as the
Knights of Pythias building, housing
the postoffice and several stores on
the first floor, a moving picture thea
ire on the second floor and other rooms
used for various purposes on other
floor levels, last Friday morning, en-
failing a loss estimated at $4,000 or
more.
A falling wall of the building
crushed an adjoining buildin G
used as milk depot and residence.
Former Sheriff w. W. Williams, of
Preston county, who occupied the
building with his family, escaped I'M
injured.
The Oakland fire company was sum-
moned to assist the Terra Alta COM
pany and battled the flames for five
hours but were unable to save the
structure or any of its contents. Mails
in the postoffice and relief foodstuffs
stored therein were totally destroyed
as we'll as all the supplies and other
matter in the office.
A policeman making his rounds, dis
covered the fire and turned in the
alarm. Officials investigating the fire
have been unable to determine it's orr.
gin, although it is thought that it
started in the basement and spread
rapidly to an elevator shaft with the
result that in a few seconds fire was
in evidence on each of the four floors
above the street level.
The building was erected in 1922 and
on it was an insurance policy for 500,
900. 1t was stated that until a very
short time ago insurance effective on
the building was $4,000.
This is the second disastrous fire
that has occurred at Terra Alta in a
little more than a year and is a severe
blow to the town. The destroyed build
ing was the most valuable structure
there.

COUNTIES OPEN GAS TAX
FIGHT; JURY BILL DEAD
Measure Would Cause Baltimore
City to Lose Portion of Revenue
From Gasoline
MANY BILLS INTRODUCED

A measure which would cause Balti-
more city to lose $685. PASTE annually
in gasoline tax revenue was introduced
in the House of Delegates yesterday
during a hectic session that saw 80
bills poured into the legislative hop
pers and the defeat of legislation for
mandatory and optional jury service
for women.
After prolonged debate which
ranged over a field from the World
War service of women to the Bruno
Hauptmann jury at Pennington, N.
j., the House laid on the table the
two measures allowing women's jury
service. The bill making such service
mandatory was killed by a 75-to-33
vote; while the bill making such jury
service optional went down under a
69-to-40 vote.
The bill which would take $685.
245.79 gasoline revenue from Balti-
more for the benefit of the counties

introduced by Delegates C. W. H.

Allegany), and Claude A. Hanley,

Escapes Injury

Little Billy Stanton, 6-year-old son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Stanton, es-
capped any injury when he was struck
by a slow, moving car, corner of Sec
one and Alder streets Monday morn
ing. The car was driven by William
Helbig.
The car passed over the boy, but
none of the wheels touched him. He

of Helbig to let him take him to a
physician for discrimination. He had
a slight s-ratch on his knee.

THE MINERS UNION DAY PARADE

The most inspiring sight that has met
the gaze of the members OF organized
labor, its friends and sympathizers in
Butte, in many long years was the
street parade Of women and men mem
bers OF local and outside unions, who
participated, in celebration Of the fifty
seventh anniversary Of the natal day of
the Butte City Miners Union.
The parade lined up in three sections
facing on the intersection Of Montana
and Granite streets. Although it
wasn't scheduled to start until 10 100
a. M, the clans began to gather as
early as $3.50, and every one was in
line before the appointed starting time.
The weather was ideal for the entire
days festivities. 1t was cool in the
forenoon, while the parade was in
progress, which gave the marchers a
break. 1t warmed up considerably
about noon, which made it ideal for
the immense throng that adjourned to
Columbia Gardens to enjoy the picnic
and program OF sports during the after
noon.
The parade was headed by a squad
ron of police, commanded by Assistant
Chief Jack Duggan; next came Fire
Chief Martin in the chiefs car, leading
a squadron OF fire-fighters next came
the celebrated Butte Mines Band,
which has been successful in competi-
ton with some OF the best Bands in the
United States, leading the Ladies Aux
iliary Of the Miners Union. This Aux
Hilary, though less than one year old, is
one of the most active organizations in
the entire district, as is evidenced
among other things, by the splendid
drill team, in its natty uniforms, which
headed this contingent. The drill
team performed is evolutions very eff
ficiently all along the line Of march,
and drew many complimentary re-
marks from the thousands Of onlookers
that crowded the streets. The Miners
Union followed the Women's Auxiliary.
The miners were lined up in two di-
visions, the second division being led
by the Eagles Drum Corps. The e

Missoula, Montana.-Jun e 10.
The aims Of the striking auto me-
chanics becomes nearer realization
every day. The general sentiment in
MissouIa is that these men are justified
in the demands they have made. Con-
sequently the public is lending its moral
support to the cause and it is evident
now that the opposition of some of the
shops to the new wage rate is
c~rumbling.
The boys are in good spirit, loyal
support has been and is being given by
the several unions affiliated with the
Central Council. Support is also re-
ceived from Railroad Brotherhoods,
businessmen and other friends of or
gained labor. Poor success has been
the result Of bringing in outside help.
A few have come through misrepre-
s%entation but, when ascertaining the
conditions under which they would
have to work, have refused TO stay and
work as strike-breakers. In the mean
time the fair shops have been more
than busy and are making frequent
calls for extra help from the ranks Of
the unemployed mechanics who are out
on strike.

ond section of the parade was led by
the Montana State Band. This section
was headed by delegations from Ana
conda and Great Falls, together with
representatives from Silver Bow and
Browns Gulch Farmers Unions. Then
came the Butte Stationary Engineers
Union No. 80, and the newly organized
Leather Workers Union, followed by
union after union, too numerous to
mention. The third section was led
by the Elks' Drum Corps and farther
back, about the center OF this section,
the American Legion Drum Corps made
melody for the tail-end Of the parade.
The demonstration was carried out in
the most orderly and efficient manner
Reid Robinson, president Of the
Miners Union. was Marshal Of the day,
assisted by three aides, Tiny Brown,
Charles Smith and Andrew Pellet. Es-
Inmates of the number of marchers
reach as high as 5000, which may be
an exaggeration. The Miners Union
has a pretty accurate check upon the
number of their members who marched,
and their count shows approximately
1900 miners. 1t is agreed that the
first section, the one in which the min
ers marched, was nearly twice as long
as the other two sections, so that prob
ably some figure between $500 and
1000 would be more nearly correct.
All business houses, banks and nearly
all offices in the city were closed, so
that it took on the aspect Of a legal
holiday.
Immediately after the parade dis
banded, the crowds started to head for
Columbia Gardens. The sports pro-
gram started at l2:45 p. m, with IS
rounds of boxing, after which the com
mittee put on the field and other
events.
The speaking program was pulled off
at the Band pavilion and aroused a lot
OF interest. The Texaco Company
loaned the committee a mike" and set
Of amplifiers, which were rugged up on
the pavilion. This arrangement en-
