Strike Causes Change In Plans. Trouble between the Western Fed eration of Miners and the organiza tion ot the engineers in the mines caused a change in the original pro gramme. It had been planned for Mr. Taft to spend some time in the mlne^ and smelters here, but when labor troubles became acute last week the committee changed the arrangement so that a part of the time was spent at Anaconda, where the smelters were visited and examined. The president took a lively interest in all he saw and seemed to be much impressed with the extent of the Industry at Anar conda and Butte. The labor trouble, which was caused by the engineers withdrawing from the federation and forming an Inde pendent organization, gave the police officers some apprehension and extra precautions were taken to safeguard the president. Both the sheriff and the chief of police added many men to their regular forcea. Taft Walks With a Limp. The president had a decided limp in his walk when he alighted from his special train here. He sprained a tendon in his foot before leaving Bev erly, but had suffered no bother until Sunday, when, after ten days of con stant going with little or no rest, the foot became swollen.
