tween rival labor organizations to de-
termine a question of jurisdiction or
control over certain employees in

Where upon thousand o hill sides
Montana fed cattle brows.
We extend the glad hand to the stranger,
Welcome him here by side

On our fertile prairies wide.

Let the crowded east hear call,

We welcome you all to the feast
The air out here makes you feel younger each hour
Say goodbye to the wornout old east.
All hail to the Milk River Valley,
To fair Malta, the brightest and best.

And when you are with us in glory,
Each sinew growing power,
We know that you told the true story
Fair Malta we love thee more each hour.
