Butte Miners Spurn LW.W.and
Organize Union Of Their Own
Butte, Mont, Nov. 20.—Alter
eight years without an organization
the 12,000 miners In the Butte dis
trict have a union through which
they will deal with the companies.
This is the result ot 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
$4.25 a day. Workers of the World
attempted to start a walkout for a
16 a day and a six-hour day. It was
an absolute fizzle. When the little
breeze created by this effort quieted
down the companies volutarily rals- j
ed the pay of the miners fifty cents j
a day. •
After that the men working in the j
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 t> e
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 Its activities
will be confined to the Butte dis
trict and that there will be no af
filiation with the miners' and smel
termens' organization which succeed
ed the old Western Federation of
Miners.
Reasons for not wishing any con
nection with the International min
ers' and smeltermens' organization
will be found In the virtual extinc
tion of the old Butte Miners' Union,
probably the largest and most pow
erful labor organization in any lo
cality in the world in Its time. It
wr.s dissatisfaction with the manage
ment of that body over the heavy
assessments it was levying on the
members of the affiliated bodies that
gave the radical elemeut In t he
uhion the Incentive to destroy It,
wfyich was done In 1914.
It was on June 13 of that year
that the Butte Miners' Union start
ed to celebrate Its anniversary as j
It had been doing lor years, by a!
big parade and a general holiday, j
The radicals broke up the parade
before It got well started and pro-1
ceeded to wreck tho union hall. I
throwing everything out 'on the j
street, including the safe, which was
carted out of town, broken into and |
looted.
After the excitement had quieted
down repairs were made to the hall,
and things were going on more or
J ess smoothly until the night of Oc-j
tober 23, when Charles H. Moyer,
president of the then Western Fed
eration of Miners, came to Butte to
straighten out matters. It was the
signal for another outbreak.
Moyer 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. Moyer 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 j
union, and they practically ran the
town and the district for more tnan |
two months. The law was dolled and
the law of><cers hslniess Flnalh
the governor sent in ths National
it.iard, an»1 'hi miners iied formerly
wirked uni*. the pr»>» j.ll. . of tbeir |
ill? union t"ey now wi ked without,
any organization.
So for eight years the curious I
spectacle has been presented of the |
biggest mining camp In the world
working with men unorganized In
its underground and surface labor,
while every other line of industry
about the mining properties was l
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.

Alaska S. S. Co/s New Steamer
Building For The Alaska Run
In one of the recent issues of the
Alaskan was a brief account of the
new ship which will inaugurate the
service between Seattle and Alaska.
The following is a clipping of one
of the Alaska papers, relative to our
article of the Alaska Steamship Com
pany's new palatial liner:
To keep pace with anticipated in
dustrial development in Alaska and
to be in a position to give vastly
improved pascenger service, the
Alaska Steamship Company has in
augurated a most important cam
paign of addition and betterment to
its fleet operating to and from ports
of Southwestern Alaska, says the
Railway and Marine News. Fore
most in the contemplated moves is
the official announcement that a
contract has been awarded to the
Todd Dry Dock & Construction Cor
poration of Tacoma, for the imme
diate construction of a steel passen
ger and cargo carrier, to be named
Alaska and to be ready for service
next spring. This is the vessel for
which the company officials asked
for bids some months ago, mention
of which with some of the minor
details, being given at the time. The
completed specifications call for a
freight steamship about 364 feet
over all, 250 B. P. 49 feet molded
beam, 25 feet 6 inches depth to
freeboard, 20 feet draft when loaded
dead weight 3000 tons to 20-foot,
draft, fuel oil 1,000 tons, average
speed at loaded draft, 15 knots.
It will be double bottom wtih col
lision bulk heads, the hull construc
tion is designed for strength and du
rability wtih special designs to meet
the requirements in Alaskan service.
In the engine department the steam
ship will be equipped with two
triple expansion engines of the Hoo
vens, Owen & Rentschler type each
of them 2,800 1. h.hp. There will be
six boilers of the B. & W. type and
the usual electric and refrigerating
machinery. All the auxiliary equip
ment will be operated by steam.
While the draft or the vessel will
permit It to go into any of t' e ports
of Southwestern Alaska and the ex
tensive cargo space is especially de
signed for the expeditious handling
of typical Alaska cargoes .all of
which will make it a most valuable
addition to the present fleet, yet the
public will be more directly inter
ested in the plans for passenger ac
commodations which are of sucli a
character thpt the people to the
westward will be given an excellent
service. This will be an added factor
in the future development of tourist
travel In connection with the com
pleted U. S. railroad from Seward to
Fairbanks. The vessel will be
throughout lighted by electricity and
steam-heated, running water will be
found in every stateroom, but in the
case of the bridge deck and suites
of the shelter deck both hot and cold
running water will be features. De
scribing the accommodations from
the upper works, the bridge deck
will include the pilot house, chart
room, captain's quarters, officers'
rooms, with the necessary baths.
Directly under the pilot house Is
the observation room with semi-cii
cular front and glass on this front
and on two sides, onabling passen- j
gors to view all the scenery as dif- j
forent sections are approached, this
being particularly desirable when
passing through the more beautiful
Prince William Sound. Resurrection

Bay, or Cooks' Inlet. On the boat
deck amidships will be located the
men's smoking room, including a
barber shop and a cigar counter.
The mall clerk's room and the wire
less bouse 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 woather passengers
will have the privilege of an open
air prominade and at the ume 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 light
suites of one bedroom and bath each,
each room will be panelled with
vehisote in attractive designs, fitted
with Simmon's steel bed. Pullman
berths and sofa, baths to be of the
Intest design. Six rooms on each
aide of the after house will be ar
ranged with inter-connecting bath.
Here will also be located an at
tractive lobby from which a stair
way leads to the dining room, stair
way to have mahogMij 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
sels have been launched, but to the
Todd plant at Tacoma will be given
the distinction of constructing the
first largo passenger liner for the
cif shore trade and for that reason
it marks another epoch in local ship
construction while the Todd organ
ization is on its mettle at this early
date in the endeavor to make this
new liner a credit to its builders,
to its owners and to the people ui
Alaska whom it prtniarily 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 readly for service next
spring. .

Colds Affect The
Kidneys
Many Skagway People Have Found
This to be True.
Are you wretched in bad weath
er?
Does every cold settle on your
kidneys?
Does your back ache and become
weak?
Are urinary passages irregular
and distressing?
These symptoms are cause to sus
pect kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especial
ly prepared for weakened kidneys.
Grateful people recommend them.
J. L. Messersmith, blacksmith,
700 E. Webb St., Pendleton, Oregon,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills are my
old standby. Whenever 1 caught
cold in my kidneys it caused my
back to ache and I suffered with
complaint. At times when I stooped
over, sharp pains caught be in the
small of my back and I had to raise
up slowly. My kidneys acted too
frequently, causing me to get up
many times during the night. Doan's
Kidney Pills quickly banished the
backache and put my kidneys in
good condition. I still keep Doan's
on hand to use in case of necessity."
