VUTLE 1NT1r MoNTAIN VOL XXII. NO. 12 BUTTE, MONTANA, Tlt#U EVENING, APRIL 3 1902. PRICE FIVE [N6fNEEtRS CO 1 TORtSCL; PARROT TO RESUME * The statement published in The Inter Mountain yesterday to 4 * the effect that Charles RMouliffe had boasted to Superintendent Jack 0 4 O'Neill was erroneous in that it was not McAuiiffe, but Charles Mc- 4 G Donald, ar.nther hoisting engineer, who repeated tne remarks when 4 4 referring to F. Augustus Heinse. 4 * It wee iocDonald who said "that F A. Heinse was back of the 4 0 move and would pay each of the engineers $5 per day for keeping 4 4 the mines of the Amalgamated oompany closed." 0 4' This statement Superintendent O'Neill says emphaticoally this 0 4, efternoen had been made to him by McDonald. The engineer went 4 * further in his boasts and made remarks which reflected seriously 4 4 upon Mr. W~lins and his reported influence among the leaders of the 4 6 hoisting engineers. 4' 41 q, T 4 4 ,' ^ 4 < 4a 4' ' & 4 a 1 't 4,4.4' 4.4, && & 4.4' n 4.4' n . 2 n An adjustment of the trouble which has thrown several thusand miners out of work was reached this afternoon through the mdluim of the action of the Engineers' union at its meeting last night, which the management of the Anaconda mines today accepted as fair and just. There Is every reason to believe that in the course of ten days work will be resumed in all the mines of the com pany which have for several days been closed down by reason of the walk-out of the hoisting engineers. New engineers from among the ranks of the union will take the places of the men who repudiated the contract of the union with the company, which was to cover a period of two years. Work on the Parrot mine will be re sumed within a few days. Arrangements to this end were made this afternoon. Three new engineers w1ll be at the hoist ing engines in the Parrot mine tomor row morning, Miners will not be able to resume work for several days until the new hoisting engineers prove their compe tency to handle the machinery with assurances of absolute safety to the men whom they will be required to lower and hoist. New Engineers to Work. The information concerning the re sumption of operations in the Parrot mine was officially given out at 3 o'clock this afternoon. There is every reason to believe that work in the Anaconda, St. Lawrence and Mountain Con mines which have been shut down on occount of the walk out of the engineers, which was not from the first endorsed or countenanced by the Engineers' union, will resume in the course of a week or ten days by the same arrangement as will allow the re sumption of 'work in the Parrot. New engineers will take the places of the disgruntled men who arbitrarily quit work Tuesday evening and forced 3,000 miners out of work and caused approxi mately a loss to the laboring men of 15,000 a day between Butte and Ana conda. It is reported that as fast as engin eers can be found they will be given a trial at the hoists in the various mines which have been closed and as soon as they have demonstrated. their compe tency and ability to handle the machin ery with assurance of safety, work will be resumed in all the mines which have been idle since last Tuesday evening. Condemned By Miners. The individual action of the engineers who walked out, which has fcen con demand by miners in Butte, smeltermen in Anaconda, and in fact eve:ybody ex (Continued on Page 3.) NOW II AffICIS ANACONDA S(pecial to the Inter Mountain.) Anaconda, April 3.-Tile effect of the Butte shut-down is being made 4 * apparent on the B., A. & P. railroal today. There are but three men * working in the shops; there is no switching being rone. The crews O * of the ore trains have all been laid off; in fact, the only crews and 4 o engines working on the road are those pulling the passenger trains. '4 * This, together with the number already laid off at the smelters 0 * brings the total number of idle men in the city up to 600 or 700. 4 o There was an official statement made this morning from the new o works that there will be no more men laid off today, but it matters 0' * do not change there will certainly be an exodus of men from the 4 works tomorrow as the supply of ore on hand is running light. 4 * 4 IONTl IOTELS ARE DbSIROYED BY FIR[ AT ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY ,*. - ... .. (By Associated Press.) Atlantic City, N. J., April 3.-The most disastrous fire that has ever visited this city Is now raging along the beach front for a distance of over three blocks. Eight hotels have been either wholly or partially destroyed. A strong stuthwest wind is blowing and the fire men seem to be unable to cope with the flames. Assistance was asked from Philadelphia and Camden and the form' r city sent three engines. There is an unconfirmed report that six men have lost their lives in the flames. The fire o:gtflnated in Brady's bathhouse, located on the board walk between New York and Kentucky avenues, and now <.xt! nds from Illinois avenue to Tennessee avenue, three blocks. Hotels Destroyed. The hotels so far destroyed are the Windsor, owned by G. Jason Walter: the 13erkley, owned by l.e BHrotherts" the Stratford, owned by Hew Brothers; the Stickney, owned by Myra G. St:ckney; the Luray, owned by Joslah White; the Tarleton, owned by G. Jason Wailters; the Evart, owned by Richard Binder. The new Holland hotel, on Kentucky avenue and Young's pier, has caught and is burning fiercely. So far as can be learned no lives have been lost among guests. The six men reported burned to death are tw opolicemen, believed to have been buried in the ruins of, the Berkley hotel; two firemen and two musicians, members of the Royal Italian band, who are said to have been in" the Berkley. Flimsy Frame Buildings. Practically all of the property on fire is attached to the board walk, a frame structure 40 feet wile, skirting. the edge of the ocean, and consists mainly of flimsy wooden stores and bath houses. Fortunately the brisk wind which' is blowing is carrying the flames away from the section of the city in which the most valuable hotels ap.I cot tages are located. Shortly after 1:30 o'clock, assistance began to arrive by special train from Camden, 56 miles distant. The wind from the west had increased somewhat, by that time, and it was blowing the flames with greater fierceness. Young's pier and the marine ball room on the pier are entirely gone and the inner portion of the structure is being torn down to save the adjacent property, At 1 o'clock the fire leaped across Tennessee avenue and, unless the Philadelphia volunteer engines can stop it in its path, the following places will be destroyed: M. M. Mohr & Brothers, fancy store; J. Williams, optician store; Caswell's candy factory; L. R. Adams, two fronts; Chong King & Co., auction and Imported wares; Parisian Dia mnond parlors;Victor Freslnger's antique and foreign ware store; John Young's new apartment house. Other Places in Danger. If the fire is not stopped at this point, which is improbable, the Dunlop hotel, the Blue Cavern cafe, Bleak House and the Merry-go-rounds will follow. The Morris guards, a local military organization, has placed the use of its armory at the disposal of the sufferers, Chief of Police Eldridge ordere. out the entire police force to care for property in the streets and In addi tion, hundreds of citizens volunteered to assist in the work of policing property. Several negroes were arrested for looting. As the fire spread along the beach, it burned the board walk and this placed the firemen at a disadvantage, as they were compelled to retreat to the beach. In some instances the fire companies were unable to get their hose off the board sidewalk, and it was de stroyed, thus hampering their efforts still further. The firemen from Philadelphia and Camden pumped water direct from the ocean to the flames wherever this was practicable. Scenes of Excitement. The Luray hotel had the greatest number of guests and as this was one of the first places attacked by the flames there were many scenes of excitement as the guests made a rapid exit. Fashionably dressed women helped carry trunks and valises, while not a few people who had not yet left bed, ran cut onto the walk in negligee. In most of the hotels burned there were comparatively few guests as the crowd of visitors incident to the Easter season had mostly departed. Nevertheless there are a great number of people here and it is safe to say that all of them able to walk are watching breathlessly the efforts of the firemen to stay the flames. The fire Is now under control, the firemen having checked it at New York avenue. Estimated loss, $2,000,000,.
