MEETING OF TRADES COUNCIL

Ali the locals we're well represented
at the meeting Of the Boise Trades &
Labor Council Wednesday evening.
A letter of'thanks was e.eiyed iron
the striking copper miners in the
Clifton Arizona district. An increase
Of wage has been given and the min
ers are to be affiliated with the state
federation OF labor of that state, They
seem deeply appreciative for the do
nation given them.
The proposed immigration bill
containing the literary test which was
vetoed by the president is again be-
fore Congress and the Idaho delega-
ton are urged to press its enactment
Brother X. Bunney was made local
subscription agent for the American
Fererationist, published at Weshing-
ton, d. c.
Legislative Committeeman Brown
made a report of the farmers con-
ference which has just concluded its
session in Boise. He reports great
interest and enthusiasm manifested at
the meetings, especially on the sub
jects of cooperation and "organiza-
ton" A state Federation of Far
mers was organized comprising the
Society of Equity, Farmers Union,
the State Grange, and also Farmers
Clubs. Each of these local units
paying an annual $5 dues. Nine di-
rectors were chosen from various
portions of the state and they will at
once proceed to the organization OF
ali the farming interests in Idaho. A

Public Should be Wary

The endowed university charlatans
of Big Business, who have many P.
H. DIS and other classiications be-
hind their legal names, are now busy
circulating the country with special
pleas to the public to invest IN
American stocks and bonds which
will be thrown upon the market soon
by European governments at war.
England is mobilizing between two
and four billion of this class and eX-
poets to put them upon the market
here and sell them as fast as she
can do so without breaking the mar
ket. OF course these paid servants
of the Rockefellers and other votar-
les of special privilege are advocat-
ing purchase by the people without
questioning of values. 1t will be
we'll for people with savings to shy
clear of this class of investment. The
great bulk of these American secur-
tiles which are to be sold here are
now practically as poor an invest
ment as foreign bonds. The public
will do we'll to stay out of the mar
ket and let the high hnanciers buy
them up with their personal fortunes,
1t is rather humorous, however, to
think of the American plunderers of
business risking anything of value for
watered securities that they had float
ed back in the gala days of trust
formations. They have always been
on the selling end of such PROPOSE
tions.
When England gets ready to sell
this enormous block of securities the
public here should stay strictly neu-
trail and let the market on them go to
smash while they authorized the gov
ernment to buy them in at bargain
rates.
A company could be authorized by
Congress creating public holding
company for the railroads, the gov
ernment guaranteeing the interest on
the government stock which would be
exchanged for the various forms of
corporate railroad stocks and bonds,
The government guaranteed securi-
ties would be better than gold and
would have market anywhere in the
world which a general smash in the
price of the other classes for which
the government stock or bonds would
be exchanged would be in the end a
great saving to the people because
as the price went down in private
railroad paper the government could
! buy in at great saving.

great state convention is proposed
Tor next year.
A communication was received con-
cerning the donations for the relief
OF the Danbury Hatters urging liberal
contributions and stating that the first
press reports as to the size of dona-
tons were grossly exaggerated. These
false reports were evidently calculated
to defeat the securing of the proper
amount. One or two of the local
unions have with held money already
raised, thinking a surplus amount had
already been subscribed.
State Senator, Earl Wayland Bow
man of Adams county was present and
made an interesting talk on the sub
I ject of preparedness and in his belief
that preparedness and militaryism are
the same thing and are greatly to be
deplored He also spoke highly oi
the appointment Of Louis D. Brandeis
to the Supreme court of the United
States.
Letters were authorized to be sent
to the Idaho senators at Washington
urging the confirmation of Mr.. Bran
deis and the trades council was un.
snimous in this action.
A call is being shaped up for {
meeting to be held in Boise sometime
in March for the purpose of organic
ing a State Federation of Labor
Pocatello, Twin Falls, Wallace ant
other cities of the state will have dele
gates present. Idaho is one of two
or three states that does not have
such federation.

PLEASING TO LABOR
Appointment Of Brandeis Commended by Press
of the Workers

Probably no action OF President
Wilson's official life has caused so
much favorable comment from the
labor movement of the United States
as has his appointment of Louis J.
Brandeis.
AS was to be expected, the repre-
sentatives of special privilege in the
Senate are moving heaven and earth
to prevent confirmation of the ap-
pointment.
Brandeis has earned an enviable
reputation as a champion of the
cause of the common people, and
big business" doesn't want a mar
of his calibre in any judicial posi-
ton.
1t would seem though that the,
should be willing to concede the ap-
pointment of one member of thi.
court who has not spent his life
in the service of special privilege
corporations and whose whole pur
pose i'll life seems to be to further
the interests of the aforesaid cor.
porations.
Brandeis would act as balance
wheel for the court, and his appoint
ment should be confirmed.
Commenting on the appointment
E. J. Stack, Secretary of the State
Federation of Labor, said: THE
nomination of Louis ]. Brandeis, OF
Boston, Mass, for the Supreme
Court of the United States, marks
an epoch in changing conditions.
No man in America, known in pub
lie life, is better fitted for the posi-
ton; Law and the courts are sup
posed 10 bc based on justice The
courts are men, and unless men are
iust, the courts cannot be.
"Mr. Brandeis' life has been spent
in light for justice. Such a man is

Nearly 100000 railway employees are
now balloting on the question of de-
manding an eight-hour workday to
take effect May l. The vote will be
canvassed on March II and the rail-
way officials will be given notice a
few days later what the men expect.
The men are deeply in earnest in this
matter. and, according to the best in
formation obtainable the ballot will
show an Overwhelmingly majority in
favor of the shorter workday. In all
the principal industrial centers the
railway employees have been compar-
ING their lot with that of the men in
other occupations, such as the build
ing trades, printing, mining, etc,
where the eight-hour day operates,
and the contrast is none too pleasing.
One railroader writes from Chicago,
for example, that whereas several
million men I'M other trades work
limit OF eight hours, the Interstate
Commerce Comission records shows
than in the l18 months from July l.
1912, to Dec. 81, 1918, there were no
less than 5000 cases of men on the
railways who were forced to toll con-
tinuously 10 or Is hours a day i
is curious to note in this connection
that the railway magnates and their
publicity agents are going through

When Frank P, Walsh recommend

When Frank p. Walsh recommend
ed that the foreign born citizen be
incorporated into labor unions on his
arrival here there was of course a
scream of protest rending the air
from the organs of plutocratic busi-
ness.
The ignorant foreigner is much
more of an asset to plutocratic
business while still ignorant and un-
organized than after he is on TO the
ropes and anything that would look
like a movement to make the foreign
newcomer to the shores an addition
to the strength of labor unionism
in general will meet with unrelent-
ing opposition.
The way to make futile the efforts
OF the reactionaries who are fighting,
unionism is to keep out OF represen-
tation i'll government any more OF
that class of subservient bootlicker

has suffered so much in the past.
1t is organized labor's duty to enter
politics in force with their united
and militant strength and vote solid
ly against any and all men who seem
to look upon big business with adora-
ton.
1t should be the duty of organized
labor to ferret out their opinions
specifically and make representatives
put themselves in writing on all eco
nomic subjects. There must be no
further apathy during elections as re-
CARDS senatorial aspirants for office
and those who are now in the SEN
ate should have their records looked
into-how they voted on certain
bills. how they spend their time and
numerous other things of vital inter-
est. The senator or congressman
should beknade to feel that he is only
a servant and at no time a dictator.
All the real servants of the people
will not hesitate to recommend this
form of procedure and will welcome
this principle carried out. To force
by public pressure the unwilling serv-
ant into militant support of measure
is help to those who serve without
pressure. There is nothing which
proves a mans bad intentions toward
the people as an assumption of sup
eriority or independence of the peo-
pie.
I have been a student of politics for
twenty years and during that time
have neever seen a time in which
the betrayers of the public were not
found in that class who set them
selves up as superior in wisdom to
the public, who did not apologize for
corruption and incapacity and who
did not oppose all efforts to gain

iness establishments producing, bar
tering in and distributing nearly ey-
erything needed by the consumers,
and yet these same consumers, a
large per cent of whom are also pro-
ducers, spend much money for inn
ported products of various kinds
when goods of the same or better
grade could be purchased right here
in Boise or Idaho.
How long are we going to continue
to send our money out of our city
or out of our State to place from
whence it will never return' How
long are we going to continue to inn

Washington-The Arizona copper
strikers have won their fight.
With copper at the highest price
fornine years and Governor George
w. P. Hunt refusing them the use of
armed guards gunner and strike
breakers, the copper magnates OF
New York, Boston and Arizona at
last gave up their attempt to starve
5000 miners and their families into
submission.
The strikers returned to work on
Monday, January 81, under an agree
ment bv which the companies agree
to pay higher wages and to meet once
month with grievance committees
selected by the men.
The victory marks triumph for
labor of the greatest importance
demonstrating as it does that labor
can win its battles for industrial dem
ocracy when the government does
its duty and protects the workers
against hired thugs and professional
strike breakers.
Mediators Davies and Myers Of the
United States Department Of Labor
deserve much credit for making tic

months the latter refused to make

Home INDUSTRIES

The Boise Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil has inaugurated a campaign in be-
half of Boise industries and intends
to push the matter vigorously The
Council has sent out several hundred
circular letters to business firms and
individuals, which deals with this sub
ject and purposes to keep hammering
away on this line. The letter refer
red to is as follows:
Dear Sir:
This is to call your attention to
the fact that your city and your state
needs your faithful and earnest CO.
operation along the line of patronage
OF home industries.
We are living i'll an age when CO
operation is OF paramount Importance
concerning progress and prosperity
IN ali business or industrial activities.
We are residents of the biggest
little city in the West. We are citi-
zens of a State which is comparative
ly new and undeveloped, but which
has almost unlimited natural re-
sources. These resources must be
conserved and developed in a way
that will yield the greatest benefit to
our citizens as a whole if we are to
reap the greatest individual beneht
We have the power within our midst
with which to attain this end. Co
operation is the word; it is the force
back OF every successful business en-
terprise; without conserted and unit
ed action nothing progresses sub
stantially.
The industrial dynamo IS here

ment. There are plenty OF local bus

One day they would wax enthusiastic

more leisure for themselves and at the
the same time furnish more work for

The magnitude and value Of
the educational work being done
among the girls on the farms of
the South is not fully appreciated.
Few realize the far reaching re-
suits Of this work and its effects
on the future homes Of the land,
There are 1856 girls studying
canning problems; 10,205 girls
are learning more of poultry
raising; 1921 are devoting spec
ial attention to bread making;
and S58 are enrolled in other
work.
The far reaching effects which
the information gained by the
girls engaged in this work will
exert during the years to come
on the farm homes of the South
can scarcely be overe5timated.
There is but one serious deficien-
cy in this work, and that is that
it does not reach every girl in
every home throughout the entire
