protection and benefit labor organ
ization is essential, and that
organization can best be accom-
plished through the American
Federation of Labor.
Let the business men Of Har-

due consideration, without selfish
though as to the temporary injury,
it might be, to business, but let the
guiding though in consideration Of
the matter be, the greatest good to
the greatest number, remembering
that business and labor go hand
in hand to prosperity or adversity.

UNION LABOR
SENTIMENT 7
Efforts Being Made to Unionize
Harlowton and Improve Con-
ditions for Workingmen

The members of the labor union
at the IIarloWton Roller Mills and
other workingmen are endeayoring
to organize and fcderate all work
ingmcn in HarloWton and to have
union hours and the union scale of
wages adopted here. The matter
of unionizing Harlowton was dis,
cussed at the last meeting of the
Commercial Club. The majority
of the members present took the
position that it was not strictly
within the sphere Of duties Of the
Commercial Club, and desired that
the union men call upon the busi
ness men of the town and cndea-
vor to effect organization through
their own efforts.
One of the greatest, if not the
greatest, struggles in modern SO
ciety. is the endeayor of the labor
ing men, through the medium of
! their organizations to better their
conditions while at work and while
at home. The strife for a better.
| higher and nobler life, among
American iaboring men commands
! the respect of all honest men. The
efforts being made to improve the
condition of laboriDg men in Har-
| low town should be given careful
consideration. The business men
OF Harlowton should reciprocate.
Business depends upon d healthy
condition of labor, hence labor
should have the support and pro.
lection of business. The local man
should have the preference. and
that preference should not: be dc
cided as the price of a commodity
is determined on the auction
block. The complaint that timer

constantly carrying away the jus
rewards of local labor is wei
taken. You cannot expect Il loca

Instruct Delegates to Vote
@ as a Unit.

We, your committee ON reso]u-
tion, would report the following
resolutions: :@..
BE IL RESOLVED by the republi-
can party OF Mcagher County,
Mon tana, in convention assembled:
That we recognize the fact that
The political question of the pre-
sent time is the issue of special
interest against public welfare;
That the most important ele-
ment of this issue is the restoration
of all political power to the people
of the United States and the several
states In whose hands it rightly
belongs, and by whom and for
whom it should be exercised. We,
believing that the Direct Primary
Bill drawn by the Non partisan
Commission appointed by Governor
Norris, is a fair and just measure
and that it meets with the APPROX
al Of All overwhelming majority of
the voters Of all parties in Meagher
county, we hnrehv demand of the
State Senate {. =. rooley that he
at once inform the Governor Of
this state of his willingness to vote
for that bill at an extra session OF
the State Legislature of this state.
We insist that his refusal thus far
to indicate his Willingness, has
been hagrant violation of his duty
to respond to and to represent the
known wishes of the people OF this
county, who have twice honored
him with an election to the state
senate.
Recognizing in the candacy OF
Theodore Roosevelt for President,
the greatest. hope Of our people for
civil liberty and Industrial JUSTICE,
we declare him to be our choice for
the republican nomination for
President. His splendid record in
progressive legislation, made dur
ing the seru, lli, presiden
cy, is a sufl1vien, guarantee Jna1
another administration by HIM
would be thoroughly responsive te
| the needs of the Republic for Wlst
| initiative and courageous leader
ship along the lines that will un
erringIy lead to continual nationa
! growth and TO widely QllI,lSe pros
perity.
RESOLVED, that the delegate!
from this convention to Livingston
convention, are hereby instructed
to vote as a unit for delegates t.
the Republican National Conven
tion instructed to vote for Theodore
Roosevelt for President. And th'
delegates are further instructed t.
vote as a unit in all matters comm.
before the state convention.

1t came to the ears Of the sheriff
Saturday that feud between two
families living near Bass lake was to
receive it's final settlement by the
right of might Saturday night, and
Chief Deputy Wall and several of his
men were hurriedly dispatched to pre-.
vent bloodshed. The principals, their
families and friends and adherents
were all lined up when the officers ar
rived, but actual hostilities had not
yet opened. Mr.. Wall called the prin-
cipals to one side and gave them a
strong, fatherly talk, saying every per-
son that INDUCED in any sort Of a
melee would promptly be arrested and
hustled off to the county jail. His
promise not only covered the present,
but extended to the future and seemed
to have the desired effect. When the
deputies HE'D themselves home at 2
o'clock Sunday morning, everything
fairly oozed peace around Bass lake.
