That's what the supreme court says in deciding that H. M. Edgecombe 1* entitled to have his addition to the town of Rulo cut out of the town. The case was hotly contested, and In - volved a principle of law of general application. The court says that the postoffice is maintained by the federal govern ment and not the town; the schools, by the school district, and the churches, by voluntary association of members, and the sidewalks are for the use of anybody living In the town or elsewhere. The fact that out siders are accommodated by them Is no reason why they must become residents.

Then Butte Miners Organise*; Union of Their Own—Radi cals Tried to Start Big Strike. Butte, Mont.—After eight yea*, s without an organization the 12,000 miners in the Butte district are to have a union through which they willt deal with the companies. This is the result of deliberations that have beers, going on for several weeks between* representatives of the mining com panies and the men at the mines. Without any organization the men*, had been getting $4.25 a day. Men. representing the Industrial Workers^ of the World attempted to start a. walkout for $6 a day and a six hour day. It was an absolute fizzle. When the little breeze created by this effort! quieted dpwn the companies volun tarily raised the pay of the men 50' cents a day. After that the men working in the? mines went about organizing a unior* of their own, totally ignoring the radicals who had tried to start a. strike. Several conferences of the mine managers and committees from the? men were held. At one of them the managers submitted the draft of' what they considered would be a good constitution for such an organization^ This the men turned down and pre — paredi one of their own, which has? proved aceptable to the managers. 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 district and that there will be no affiliation with the miners’ and smeltermen’s organiza tion which succeeded the old Western* Federation of Miners. Reasons for not wishing any con nection with the international miners’*' and smeltermen’s organization will be? found In the virtual extinction of the old Butte Miners’ union, probably the? largest and most powerful labor or ganization in any one locality in the world in its time. It was dissatis faction with the management of that body over the heavy assessments it was levying on the members of affili ated bodies that gave the radical ele ment in the local union the incentive, to destroy it, which was done in 1914. It was on June 13 of that year that the Butte Miners’ Union started to celebrate its anniversary, as it had? been doing for years, by a big parade and a general holiday. The radicals broke up the parade before it got well’, started and proceeded to wreck the union hall, throwing everything out. on the street, including the safe, which was carted out of town, broker* into and looted. Auer tne excitement had quleteif down repairs were made to the hail, and things were going along more or less smoothly until the night of Octo ber 23, when Charles H. Moyer, pres ident of the then Western Federation; of Miners, came to Butte to straight en matters out. It was the signal for ariothcr outbreak. Moyer and those friendly to hair., were barricaded in the miners’ unio.r. hall. The front of the building was; destroyed by explosions of dynamite. Moyer and those with him escaped by the rear windows. In the rioting one man was killed and several wounded. . That was the end of the old miners” union. The men who brought about its demise formed another unijn. and! they practically ran the town and the district for more than two months The law was defied and the law offi cers helpless. Finally the governor sent in the national guard and the dis trict had peace. But while the min ers had formerly worked under the protection of their big union they now worked without any organization. So for eight years the curious spec tacle has been presented of the big gest mining camp in the world Work ing with men unorganized in it* un derground and surface labor, while eyery othev line ov industry about the mining properties was running under agreements with labor organizations.. With the new independent miners' union, every class of labor in the dis trict will once more be organized.
