BUTTE MINES ARE
ALMOST TIED UP

. Blacksmiths Walk Out En-
gineers to Take Vote.
:lectricians lead strike
Emeltermen Affiliate With Sew
Mine Workers' Union Xews-
boys of Butte Strike for Re
h duced Price of Paper.
BUTTE, June 27. Mines In Butte are
nearer a complete shutdown tonight
than they have been In three years.
All machinists, bollermakers and black
smiths : employed In the mines quit
work today, leaving at work in the
mines the carpenters, engineers and
miners who have been at work since
the Metal Mine Workers' Union struck
lor higher wages and improved work
ing conditions.
The engineers are to take a vite
tonight on whether to strike in sym
pathy with the electricians, who de
clared a strike on the Montana Power
company and then demanded that the
mines influence the Montana Power
company to grant them th eincreased
pay and also that the mines recognize
the Metal Mine Workers' Union. The
men who walked out today did so in
sympathy with the electricians. It
was charged the electrical work at
the mines has been done by men who
are not union electricians. Organizers
of international unions who are. in
Butte declare the electricians struck
Without official sanction and that the
unions striking in sympathy are also
doing so illegally.
At the office of the Anaconda Cop
per Company it was said today that if
the engineers quit work the pumps
would be pulled out of the mines and
the mines flooded. Even If , the engi
neers do not strike it is expected that
the mines will be forced to shut down
"because of a lacy of tools, the tool
sharpeners, who are members of the
"blacksmiths' union, having quit work.
k The force of miners at work was about
3 0 per cent of the normal working
rforf.e.
The mill and smeltermen employed
4t two ore reduction mills and one
jprnelter in Butte also strucK today.
JMetal Mine Workers' Union, having
given up their charter in a union that
.was affiliated with the American Fed
eration of Labor.
W. H. Rodgers, Commissioner of Con
ciliation of the Federal Department of
jlabor, who is attempting to settle the
labor troubles, conferred today with a
(committee of the electricians and the
strike committee of the Metal Mine
Workers' Union.
A new strike developed here late to
day, when the newsboys demanded that
-inn afternoon newspaper rduc the price
of its paper. The newsboys chased the
F.regular carriers through the streets
and destroyed their papers. Police-
' men were necessarv to escort the car-
. riers beyond the business centr.

Cor. 5th and Morrison
Gregory and himself, appointed as a
committee by the West Coast Lumber
men's Association on the distribution
among the mills of the lumber ordered
by the War Department, said today
that they are telephoning- orders to the
mills now and that It will be rolling
into the cantonment all this week. An
order amounting- to approximately a
quarter of a million feet was received
today.
Advices from Washington, D. C, to
day said it was more than likely that
a patent roofing instead of shingles
would be used at the camp and that an
order had been placed already with a
Portland firm. Lack of labor is said to
have been the cause of the selection
of the patent roofing. The West Coast
Lumbermen's Association is still en
deavoring to have the War Depart
ment change its ruling.

OLTMPIA, Wash June 27. The
state council of defense has appointed
a committee of its own members to
investigate labor conditions in the
state, with special reference ' to the
food supply. The committee, which con
sists of Charles Hebberd, of Spokane,
member for food supply and conser
vation; E. P. Marsh, president of the
State Federation of Labor and mem
ber for labor, and A, X. Rogers, of
Waterville, member for farm labor,

Seattle at midnight f or Cle Elum. From
Cle Elum they will go to Ellensburg
and then to North Yakima.
'State Labor Commissioner C. II.
Younger and Federal Immigration Com
missioner Henr M. White will accom
pany the committee. The committee
will report to the state council of de
fense, which will meet at North Yaki
ma next Monday.
The state council of defense has been
overwhelmed by farmers and business
men, who have asked the council . to
find a means to curb the activities of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
It was represented that the fruit har
vest time was at hand, and that the
I. W. W. had demanded an unreason
able scale of wages.
Several thousand high school students
had planned to pick and pack fruit in
the great fruit districts of Central
Washington, it was Baid. and It would
be necessary to protect these boys
against the I. W. W., who had threat
ened to attack them. One Wenatchee
grower told the council how, after compromising-
an I. W. W. strike last year,
the I. W. W. had practiced sabotage
by pressing thumbnails into the ap
ples while boxing them, -thus ruining
thousands of apples.
POWER SITE TACOMA'S NEED
One City Had Been. Dickering for
Is Sold for $1,500,000.
TACOMA, Wash., June 27. (Special.)-
Commissioner of Light and
Water Gronen told the City Council
this morning that P. H. Hebb yesterday
sold his power site on the White River
for $1,500,000 to a private corporation
and that all chances of the city buying
it for $1,000,000 or any other sum is
off. Mr. Gronen expressed himself as
highly displeased with the attitude of
certain of the Commissioners in regard
to the Hebb power project, saying that
they had expressed themselves against
it before all the data had been sub
mitted. The city will try to get another
power site on the White River not far
above the Hebb holdings. The pur
chase of a site was deemed advisable
to have sufficient power to meet rap
idly developing industrial requirements
as well as for the American Lake
Army Post.

Andrew Bonar Law, However, De
clines to Say What Measures
Will Be Taken Against Ac
cased Officials of India.
LONDON. June 27. Andrew Bonar
Law, of the English War Council, was
bombarded in the House of Commons
this afternoon with questions regard
ing the action the government in
tended to take against those accused
of culpability in the report on the
Mesopotamia expedition, made public
last night in the blue book. He replied
that he would rather make no state
ment until the house had time to con
sider the report, but "it was the
obvious duty of the government to
take immediate action with regard to
those who specially were accused of
culpability."
- The Evening Standard points out
that J. Austen Chamberlain, Secretary
for India, and Baron Hardinge, ex
Viceroy of Indian, remain in high of
fice and that none of the others named
aa responsible has suffered except in
reputation.
It charges that there is something
"terribly wrong" with a system which
consistently failed to punish the gross
est Incompetence in high places and
attributes this to the "social position,
intermarriage and free masonry f
officialdom."
