Nothing; to Do vlth In dustrials, BUTTE, Mont.. June 22 With Presi dent Charles H. Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners Insisting that his plan of conciliation, which will be an nounced tomorrow at a meeting of the old Butte miners' union, as the only avenue by which peace can be restored, preparations are going rapidly forward today for the permanent organization of the Butte mine workers' union, launched yesterday by the secessionists from the "Western Federation. Leaders of the new organization say that President Moyer will be brought to a realization that the federation has lost practically all support among local min ers. Cause of Drcech, DiFsattsfactlon over the management of the affairs 'of the old union and a desire to be freed from the necessity of paying heavy assessments to the Western Fed eration of Miners for the support of strikes, led to the breach which resulted yesterday In the determination of the In surgents to operate as an independent unaffiliated union. President "Muckle" McDonald's state ment that the now union would have nothing to do with the Industrial Work ers of the World organization has caused a feeling of optimism anion? business In terests here. McDonald slgnB his name "Muckle" to union documents. Moyer expects to remain here a week or ten days. He .will leave about July 1 for L'Anse, Mich., where he Is to stand trial on charges arising out of the Michigan copper strike last winter. In a statement surveying the situation Moyer declared the leaders of the new union had not acted In good faith: that the workers In Butte's mines had been de H'wned over to the Industrial .Workers of the world and that "there-are hundreds yes, thousands of Irresponsible men headed for Butte at this Instant. What ore they coming for?" he asked. More Men Thnn Plncen. "They have no Jobs," Moyer said, "for there are more men in Butto now than there are places for In the mines. The public can take warning as to their mis sion." Moyer also criticised Mayor Duncan, socialist, for falling to appear at the ma meeting yesterday to advise against the formation of a new union before Moyer's conciliation plan could be sub-' mltted to the men. Fortified with the backing of the Western Federation and all international unions of the American Federation of Labor, together with $70,000 in cash in the bank and $50,000 more In property In this and other cities, the old miners' union will continue Its business here, according to Moyer. Ho Indicated that the federation would continue to hold Its contracts with the mining com panies and would furnish sufficient feder ation men to fill all places In the mines. Action to this end, he said, would be taken If the men who have seceded fall to take advantage of the opportunity to re turn to the federation. McDonald said that federation members In Michigan and Utah were on the point of seceding and had agreed to Join tho protest movement. The Weather Forecast till 7 p. m.

The Holmesvllle Mill and Power company hearing today before th eState Board of Irrigation which has been holding fire for some time took up most of the day. The mill company operates a power plant at that place, deriving power from the Blue river. It furnishes power to several of the nearby towns" and In order to In crease the power desires to raise the dam two feet. The Union Pacific Railway company ob jects to raising of the dam on the ground that It will cause flood damage to its track In th ecase of high .water. To get around that proposition the mill company proposes to put a plank obstruction on top of the present dam, which Is built of concrete and in case of high water the planks will automatically tip over and allow the water to escape.

INT1SRMOUKTAIX BATE OIID13R Supreme Court ITplinlrin Action of Interstate Coninilmiton. WASHINGTON, June 22. The supreme court today reversed the commerce court and upheld the Intermountain rate order of tho Interstate Commerce commission. Justice White decided that the long and short haul cfauso was constitutional. The chief Justice next upheld the mak ing of rates by the commission by zones. The commerce court had held that tho commission could not make blanket or zone rates. That Is the contention of those who are opposed to the 5 per cent Increase In freight rates now being asked by eastern railroads. "The zones selected by the commission wero In substance the same as those previously fixed by the carriers, as the basis of the rate making which was In cluded In the tariffs whloh wero under investigation and therefore wo may put that subject out of view," said he.
