In mines employing members of the
new engineers' union.
The situation is new, the differ

No strike nor walkout had' been or
dered, for the qttestion of hours, wages
or rules is not involved, and the em
ployers have no part whatever in the
controversy. Unless the unions settle
their differences in a few days all the
smelters at Anaconda, Great Falls and
this city will close and more than 15,
000 miners and smelter men will be
out of employment.
Several members of the executive
committee of the Western Federation
of Miners now here endorse the stand
taken by the Butte Miners' union in
attemptingvto force- the engineers to
remain in the federation.
