character now proponed, wm paaoed

MacOtnnto, wm the owner of a few
•ham of the Boston Md Montana
Copper company. He secured * de
cision from District Judge Clancy ro
etraining the Boston Md Montana
company from paying dividends to the
amalgamated, on the ground that ft Is
contrary to the laws of Montana for
one corporation to own stock In an
other corporation. Furthermore, on
application, he secured a decision
from Judge Clancy in which the latter
raid he might at any time appoint a
receiver for the Boston and Montana.
By these decisions the amalgamated
was badly hampered. Md. the “fair
trial” bill being nullified by the cu
preine court, it could not secure the
transfer of the matter to another
court.
After vainly bringing preaenre to
bear upon the governor to call a spe
cial session of the legislature, the
amalgamated shut down Its mines,
throwing 30 000 men out of work. Gen
eral Manager Scallo* announcing that
under the laws of Montana the com
pany could not secure and
that it would be useless to operate the
mines until assurance of fair treatment
wm given. He also said that the
mines should be reopened whenever
the governor should issue a call for a
•ueclal session of the legislature to
pass remedial legialation. True to
hie promise General Manager Srellon ।
ordered every mine and smelter re-1
opened on the day Governor Toole to
sued bis call for the special cession.
Now. in clang phrase, “It is up to” |
the legielatnre to frame, tn mponae
to popular demand, a change of venue,
or change of judge bill by which a lit
igant may evade going before a pre
<udlced Judge, and a Mil changing the
nr«ctte.A so that the supreme court re
view findings of fact, rendered by a
trial, as well as conduslona of law.
Rnrh leg1«1atlon will not be enacted
without a bitter atruggle. It la to be
a battle to the death between the
amalgamated on one side and the
weinze forcee and adherents of the
TTnited Copper company on the other.
Tn one side or tbe other it will be a
Waterloo.
