VOTERS REMAIN AWAY FROM POLLS
Only 3,154 Electors Had Visited Election
Booths Up oto 1:30---With All Mines
Down for the Day, Workers of Butte
Show Resentment Over Frauds
That the policy advocated by the Bulletin is being generally
followed by decent citizens is apparent in the very light vote
today. Although the mines are all down and workers at lib
erty to vote early, and despite the urgent plea in the morning'
corporation papers that all the henchmen of privilege vote
early and strong, yet up to 1 :30 this afternoon only 3,164 cit
izens had voted in all the 16
precincts of the city-this out
of 13,000 registered voters.
The people were all eager to hear
pailriculars of what happened in Hel

BETTER OFF THAN

Recently Returned From

no Complaint.
I Special United Press Wire.)
Paris, April 7. --Lincoln Stelffens.
writer and personal investigator who
has recently returned from Russia,
told the IUnited Press that some
American soldiers who had been cap
tured by the bolsheviki informed him
that they were "better off than those
not yet captured." He said: "I don't
believe the capture of American or
British soldiers means the untold
horrors that have been hinted at. I
saw several American prisoners tak
en on the Archangel front when I
was in Moscow week before last. I
asked them how they were treated.
They said they had no complaint.
They said they had not received
enough food, but got as much as
their guards got. When the guards
got extra allowance they likewise got
lmore Oats."
BERLIN WORKERS
ADOPT SOVIET
REPUBLIC
(Special United Pre1s Wire.)
Biasle, April 7.-A lBierlin dis
patch reported that the work
men's and soldiers' ct.unlicil there
decided to arrest all the influ
ential persons of the bourgeoisie
and the press and occupy the war
ministry, after which the soviet
repunblic will be declared similtan
ciously with the general strike.
REWARD TOOLS
DISCARD THE
AMERICANS
A. C. M. Co. Prefer Those
Who Do Their Dirty
Work to Those Who Serve
the Nation.
Another instance of the solicitude
of the copper companies for the wel
fare of the real Americans camel to
our notice in the case of RI. E. Dunne,
who has a homestead at Grant. Mont.
Dunne worked for nearly two years
firing in the boiler room at the High
Ore mine. Last spring he gave them
10i days' notice that he was going to
quit, as he wanted to go out to his
homestead. Just before the 10 days
was up his partner got his finger cut
off and the foreman asked Dunne to
stay the shift out as it was the grave
yard shift and they did not want to
have two green men on that shift. He
stayed the shift out and then went to
his homestead.
Last November he returned and
was immediately employed as extra
lireman and general boiler room man.
When business fell off he was laid
off and Richard Hawe, an alien, who
is alleged to have dodged military
service by virture of the alien law,
and one day younger in the service of
the company was retained.
Dunne bought Liberty bonds and
showed his patriotism by trying twice
to enlist, once in the infantry and
once as an engineer, but was turned
down both times by the examiners.
However, that cuts no figure with the
company.
Hawe is a brother of the patrol
man, who went to Chicago last year
to testify against the I. W. WV., which
may account for his being favored by
the company.

substantial majority.
lMr. Bassett defeated Dan Melloy,
credited as being the candidate of
the Cutts' forces.
Mr. Harrison, another overseas
man. was elected vice president.
The league voted in favor of an
amendment to the state constitution
permitting Spanish - American wal
veterans joining the league.
And to top off a perfectly demo
cratic day, the boys voted to march
with the Pearse-Connolly club or
