Montana Swept By Rare Storm With Severe Flooding
A powerful storm lashed Montana causing widespread damage from hail and cloudbursts.

Rain blanketed the state with heavy totals, Winsdale reporting up to four to five inches in three hours. Officials noted extensive washouts around Hinsdale and uncertain track damage on several lines.

Wheeler urges competition to avert radical trends
Chicago June 11 Senator Burton Wheeler urged industrialists to foster true competition to avoid government control. He cited signs of prosperity in railroads and warned against Guffey coal act driven regulation. He warned of bureaucracy and loss of liberty if other industries follow coal into tighter oversight. He emphasized government’s proper role to set wages and standards to level the field. He predicted Justice Van Devanter’s retirement would affect court balance on regulatory acts. He suggested Robinson may be named to fill the vacancy and argued the Guffey framework reduces efficiency and invites monopoly.
