A railroad company must provide it.
self with necessary space to house
equipment. 1t must take adequate
care Of its replaced machinery. Yet
railroad corporations as other giant
industries care little what becomes Of
the most vital machines living,
breathing men who guide, direct and
govern the inanimate machines. They
fight legislation such as that now
pending before Congress which would
prevent them from casting aside in
more reckless manner than they would
the broken down equipment Of the
roads, the great human dynamos that
give faithful and unfailing service. The
crime of it is that when a machine is
put out of service no one is injured -
in fact those who are engaged in max
ing them benefit. But when a man
is dismissed from the service, suffer
ing, disappointment and sorrow, the
offspring Of anxiety and uncertainty,
are heaped upon that man and the

lection for railroad workers in con-

WALK off ENDED
MINE.

Yesterday afternoon the Miners I'M
ion received a communication from
Gus Burkett stating that rather than
have all the mines in Butte shut down
The Union officials checked up on the
handwriting and found the letter to be
genuine. Before the Miners meeting,
the A. c. M. Co. officials were called
up and asked that Burkett's statement
be confirmed. They replied that it was
so and in the course Of their remarks
expressed themselves as having essen
italy the same opinion of Burkett as
the miners, although for a widely diff
ferent reason.
The Unions action ended a two days
shut down Of the Belmont which was
the result of the A. c. M. Co.'s re-
fusal to dismiss TEX Burkett after he
had been expelled from the Miners
Union. The Union, at the time the
demand was made, granted the Co.
the right to have a hearing on the case
AFTER Burkett was removed from the
Job. This the Company refused to do.
On Tuesday morning, the Belmont
miners were treated to the sight of
Burkett being escorted into the mine
yard in an armoured car under heavy
guard. This provocative action result
ed in a 100 per cent walkout. The Un-
ion left maintenance men on the job
however. When questioned as to what
they thought of the statements in the
local newspapers" Union officials ex-
pressed themselves as being of the OPP
inion that the general public had enou-
gh common sense to correctly inter-
pref the highly colored, one sided
statements of the A. c. M. Co. They
also said that whatever hesitancy the
Union had in taking this forced action
was prompted by consideration for
their loyal friends, the small business
men and others who are trying to make
a comeback after the lean years.
Burkett for the benefit of those who
don't know him, is and has by his ac-
ton and words been a notorious ex-
ponent of lowering working conditions
and wages. He was absent from Butte
for a number Of years but returned in
1884 and acted as a strike breaker.
Many Butte miners have been heard
TO remark that in past years Burkett
worked from eight 10 fourteen hours
a day in the mines and is said to have
even attempted working day shift at
one mine and night shift at another.

AT the regular meeting OF the Town
send Club No. 1. held at the Y. M. c.
A. April 10th. DR.. Townsend's propo-
sal for organization and a r~allying Of
forces was discussed. It was brought
out that DR.. Townsend had long had
this plan in his mind but, because OF
alack Of organization in certain states.
it had not been deemed wise to launch
it, until the Congressional investigation
or inquisition forced the issue. DR..
T~ownsend's plan, in substance is as fol-
lows Throughout the month Of April,
every club is called upon to meet and
hold an election in which human assets
will be considered.

in the state in which you live the
one best able to defend and safeguard
your interests. Then on the last day
OF April hold an eliminative election
that will result in a choice OF the most
outstanding Townsendites Of all those
nominated. After each club has made
its choice, then let delegate from each
club be chosen who is able to defend
the claims Of the club at a convention
to be held in the state capital on the
last day OF May, where a similar eli
minative election will be held by the
various club delegates, and the person
best fitted to represent the state will
be chosen. When each state has re-
ported, a national convention Of the
chosen ones will be called and the

The L. S. sided with the Allies and

is impossible because OF the great dis
lance separating us from any foreign
