Milwaukee, Nov. 12.—If the common council adopts the safety schedule submitted to its finance committee by the civil service commission, the monthly salaries of Milwaukee's 1,100 firemen and patrolmen will be increased $18 Jan. 1, while those of scores of employes in the clerical, engineering, medical, custodian, domestic and institutional services, will be decreased. The tentative schedule increases aggregating $299,026, and cuts amounting to $16,790, so the net jump is $282,236. Of the increase, $223,300 is assigned to the police and fire departments. The proposed schedules advances from $147 to $165 the monthly pay of patrolmen and fire department truckmen, pipemen and drivers, who have been in service three years.

These are the strings, with which, it is claimed, the copper company, tethered its governor-elect: First: Whereas Nelson Story Jr. is a much more steady and reliable man from the Anaconda standpoint, Governor Dixon will resign in his favor. Second: In consideration for this service the added inducement is offered that the Anaconda, through its Wall street connections, will bring the necessary pressure to bear on the appointment of Dixon as secretary of the interior. It will be seen that the advantages of this scheme are many, both to Dixon and the Anaconda. Dixon will be able to keep his promise record "clear" before the people, and at the same time wash his hands of the state and the state's affairs. What Story does to feather the interest of 125 per cent Americanism is no concern of his. Best of all, no one will think of connecting the Anaconda with his appointment --- ### BETTER BUTTE CLUB (Continued from Page One) works, $20. Charles Youlden, Davidson Grocery company, $50. A. W.

Address all communications to the editor of the Bulletin and please be brief and to the point. ### WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR THE SCHOOL BONDS. Editor Bulletin: (1) So that the Associated Industries (alias school board district No. 1) may be supplied with funds, with which to import and employ scab workmen, to take the places of the fathers and brothers of our school children in constructing two or three schools which are not needed at the present time. (2) So that they may have funds with which to keep in the employ of school district No. 1 (as they are doing at present) an architect at a salary of $3,000 per year in case they should have use for him at some future time. (3) The high officials in the magnificent new administration building are sadly overworked and will probably need a few more "chicken" stenographers to assist them in their arduous duties. (4) The automobiles, which are furnished free (to said high officials) for their own private use by district No. 1 (which means you), are getting rather shabby looking, in fact, the paint is marred in several places and they will be needing new cars in the spring that will be more appropriate to their dignity. Also the times are getting bad and the private supply of gasoline (furnished by you) is getting low. Please come to the rescue at once. Vote for the bonds. (5) Several of the members of the present board have grave fears that they may be replaced by more worthy men next spring, and they will not get in on the good thing unless it is put over at once. Please hurry! Vote for the bonds! —SUBSCRIBER. ### ON THE SCHOOL BONDS. Dear Mothers of Butte: I have just received the tax bill on my shack which states: General school fund, $13.00, high school fund, $6.95, school district No. 1, $8.25, making a total of $28.20 on two lots. How am I going to pay it? I would like some one to tell me how much will that make for Silver Bow county if all the land here is taxed just in proportion to my lots that are outside of the city limits. At that rate we could all have such beautiful school homes for our children as our officers have on Montana street. Beautiful, indeed, to see them come from their breakfast served in the latest style, go into their limousine, drive down to the beautiful school home on Montana street, rub their limousines in the garage, sit down and give orders to different assistants; to the morning hobnob at the Silver Bow club with the trustees while our children have to eat a crust of bread and black coffee, run to school where, at the least offerance, the principal is permitted, to use, the paddle to her heart's content. We cannot expect her to feel like the half-starved child, cold and afraid of everybody. The little lad knows when he gets his paddling that Miss Principal would never whip the well-fed and clothed child without first consulting the dear well-fed and comfortable mother. She, in turn, takes a trip to the school and a lunch is given for the principal or teacher. Now it seems that this same bunch, Mrs. Well-Fed, our trustees, our superintendent our principals of all the schools, want us to give them a lot more of our scanty earnings. We better quit trying to have homes or raise children for them to profit by. I can see our children are for the school and not the school for the children. Vote "NO" on the bond issue tomorrow, and remember there can be no schools built this winter and all the children in the McKinley school are well provided for this season. Time to get the money when it is needed. A WORKING MOTHER. --- ### GAS PLANT (Continued from Page One.) many and have urged the adoption of the soviet system here. The strength of this faction was shown at the socialist convention in Halle last month when the party was split. The establishment of a soviet is taken to mean the workers then plan to operate the business, although they barred all but their own members and had no communication with outsiders. The general strike is a scheme long planned by radical workers who gained a foothold when the electrical workers walked out, demoralizing transportation and industries dependent upon electrical power and light. To carry out this project large starts of students and experts were mobilized to crush the strike. The government's ultimatum expired last night and the government was to begin operation of the plants today. Apparently seeing the defeat of their original plans the radical leaders hastened to precipitate action and the metal workers were urged into taking possession of some factories. The men assumed control of the buildings, barring the owners and executives. No attempt was made to operate, as in Italy, but the fires were dampened and production ceased. ## Column 4 # MARKET REVIEW ### CHICAGO MARKETS #### LIVESTOCK CASH QUOTATIONS.

In an adjoining column will be found the list of members of the Better Butte club, together with the donations given by each. This list should be preserved until the next election when the same organization, under the same mysterious cloak, will probably be active again. ————— ### TACOMA GIRL KILLED.
