.C0NGRESSWOMAN
DEFENDS !. v. WIS
SAYS RECENT TROUBLE IN
MONTANA CAUSED BY RYAN
Jeanette Rankin, In an ImpassiOned
Speech in Congress Today States
That Strikes Were Caused by Pres
ident Copper Company at Butte.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. s.
Representative Jeanette Rankin,
from Montana, in a speech today on
the floor of the House stated that the
recent labor troubles in Butte were
not caused by Industrial Workers Of
the World, as charged by prominent
papers, but were directly attribtut-
able to the actions of John D. Ryan,
president of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company of Butte, who by dras-
tic rules had provoked the men to
walk out.
Congressman Albert Johnson, rep
resentative from Hoquiam, Washing
ton, replied hotly TO Miss Rankin,
stating that her speech was tacitlly
a defense of I. w. W.'s. and that the
troubles were caused by agitators
and Industrial Workers sympathiz-
ers. He stated that Miss Rankin was
misstating facts, and that she knew
that the copper company had done all
in it's power to avert the strike.

NEW STEEL SHIPS OF U. s.
TO BE UNSINkABLE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. s.
1t will take two or three torpedoes
to sink one of the steel ships to be
built under the direction of the Fed
,eral Shipping Board for the new
American merchant marine. Boats
will have no unprotected portion of
the hulls, and will be patterned af-
ter the present day oil tanker, which
is practically immune against single
torpedo attacks, except in the way of
engine and boiler rooms. New boats
will have fuel oil tanks extending
clear around the ship from main
deck to main deck, and from the
front of the boiler space to the rear
of the engine room. If a torpedo
strikes her there and blows hole
in her outer skin the inside of the
tank will act as a new hull to keep
her afloat.
