THE AGENT, at the Prospector Office
I. W. W. IS DIVIDED
ON STAND OK WOMAN
BUTTE, Mont., Sept. 6.—The re
cently formed Butte Metal Mine
Workers’ Union, led by alleged I. W.
W. organizers and sympathizers, is
today divided regarding its stand to
ward Miss Jeannette Rankin, Mon
tama’s congresswoman who came hur
riedly frojn Washington to aid the
miners in securing an adjustment of
Iheir grievances. At the meeting of
the union last night Tom Campbell,
leader of the union, was censured by
Tom Rimmer, another of the leaders,
for acting on the advice of Miss Ran
kin and telegraphing to other Mon
tana representatives in congress to
aid in securing abolition of the rustl
ing card system in the mines, provid
ed the settlement of that issue should
bring a settlement of the-strike. Rim
mer declared Campbell had no au
thority to send such telegrams. Rim
per tnen attacked Miss Rankin, say
Tng she had been playing politics and
that she would not have objected to
speaking from the same platform
with James Larkin, the I. W. W.
leader, if she were not ‘‘a shyster poli
tician, playing for votes.”
Tom Worrells and Pat Murphy, al
so of the miners’ strike committee, at
tacked Campbell for saying the min
ers would resume digging of copper
if rustling cards were abolished. They
said the miners would not return to
work until the deported men at Bls
bee, Ariz., had been returned to their
homes. Jack Mooney, also of the com
mittee, said Campbell exceeded his
authority in declaring that the settle
ment of the rustling card contro
versy would put the miners back to
work. “Whenever you try to love a
fellow and put a crown on his head,
he will double-cross you,” was Moon
ey’s concluding comment.
The result of the discussion was the
adoption of a resolution offered by
Rimmer that no committee be author
ized to send telegrams to Washing
ton without referring them first to the
whole union. Miss Rankin, in her ad
■ dress last Saturday, declared specifi
cally that she would work for the
abolition of the rustling card if that
would result in the settlement of the
strike. She asked the men if they
would return to work if that end
were accomplished. Many answered
“yes”, while there was also a chor
us of “noe8.”
Mrs. M. M. Hopkins of Valdez, has
just received a cable from Governor
Strong appointing her as assistant to
the principal of the school at Afog
rak, for which place she will leave
on the next steamer.
Mrs. Hopkins is well qualified for
this work, having successfully taught
in the several grades, and bolding a
Normal School certificate as well as
the required Alaska Territorial cer
tificate. A Normal School certificate
for drawing entitles her to teach this
branch in any Normal or High
School.
The good wishes of the many
friencfs of Mrs. Hopkins’ go with
her to her new field of usefulness.

WILL LEASE DOCK
Meeting l*a.st Night Shows Pre|K«n«l
erence of Sentiment of dis|io
sal of t'ity Wliarf
At the meeting of the City Couii-|
cil last night, which was largely at- ,
tended by representative citizens in
terested in the matter, by secret bal
lot the majority of the council voted
to lease or sell the city dock to the
Valdez Packing Company, the vote
standing four to three. Some opposi
tion developed to the sale of the dock
among the councilmen, many being of
the opinion that the city had better
hold on to it for a time, but a test
vote was taken to ascertain the senti ;
ment and it was decided to appoint a I
committee to draw up a bill of sale of
the dock, and to also draw up papers
for a ten-year lease, giving the can
ning company the chance to either
buy or lease. Mayor Patterson was of
the opinion that the city should sell
the dock and use the money to pay
ofT outstanding warrants against the
city. He stated that a large sum
would have to be spent by the city
in repairs on the wharf, and that he
believed the city could use the mon
ey to a better advantage than it could
the dock. He believed the city could
build a dock as good as tbe present
one at any time the occasion demand
ed it, and that It was a good chance
to sell.
Several counclmen differed with
the mayor in regard to the sale of the
dock, but all were of the opinion that
it would be advantageous to the city
to lease it for a term of years to the
packing company. After much discus
sions a committee was appointed to
draw up the papers.
Several citizens made remarks in
favor of leasing the dock, and after
the transaction of routine business
the council adjourned.
The committee will report in a
week.
