Stream Pollution.
Modern, well balanced paper mills
have waste effluents which in the
east are almost invariably run into the
streams. Pulp mills situated either
on the Yaak chance or on the Flat
head chance would be compelled to
run their effluents either into the
kootenai river or into E'lathead lake.
There Is at present in Montana a law
which prohff1ts the running OF waste
materials from pulp mills into streams
under penalty of a fine of $500. 1t is,
therefore, obvious that either some
| other means would have to be devised
to dispose of the waste effluents or
else modification would have to be
secured in the present Montana law.

$4,000 horsepower. Power for "a mill
situated at the Flathead chance could
be secured by developing several water
power sites in the vicinity of the pres
ent power project at Big Fork. There
is also an enormous amount OF unde-
velorcd power on the Flathead river
at Poison estimates placing this
amount at 1900 horsepower. 1t might
be possible to purch ase power for Il
mill located on this chance from a
large power company which has IA
transmission line at no great distance
from the Flathead country.
Fuel could be secured either from
sawmill or wood waste, or at the Fer

Lime and limestone suitable for pulp
making could be secured at several
places in northwestern Montana and
Northern Idaho.
The principal sources OF the sulphur
supply of this country are at the pres
ent time Louisiana and Japan The
various copper companies in the west
could produce sulphur from their smell :

would be Japanese sulphur.

AS nearly as can be determined, the

Montana is not over 1000 tons per

NO ARISTOCRATS OF LABOR

We often hear the statement that
some organizations are the aristocrats
of the labor movement, the intent of
the statement being to convey the
thought that some groups of workmen
have the same attitude toward less for
tunate groups that the aristocrats are
supposed to hold for the mass of the
people. If the statement was made
that some groups of workmen enjoy
much better conditions than others,
that they are able to accomplish more
for themselves than some of the other
made.
While it is true that the more highly
skilled workmen receive higher wages
than workmen with little skill, yet the
fact remains that a number of very
highly skilled workmen receive COM
paratively low wages. If those who
enjoy calling names with the object
of creating an unfavorable impression
toward some union or group of unions
would take a little time to study the
trade union movement they would dis
cover that every one of these unions
which they call aristocrats began their
present organization confronted by the
same conditions and the problems
which faced all others; that in the
beginning their wages were governed
by the same influences and their hours
of labor were as long as those of all
other workers; that the employers
were just as much opposed to their
organizing as they were in the other
trades and industries, but that the sue

Success is defined in Worcester S
dictionary as luck, good fortune, pros
perity, the happy termination of any
affair. Success is to be fortunate; but
for a true version of success we must
look deeper than the surface appear
ances and seek to know incidental re-
suits. AS far as it goes, the diction-
airy accurately defines success, but
there remains more to be said. Some
of the greatest tragedies in life occur
thru getting what one wants. In our
greatest achievements does happiness
result in proportion to the effort in
volved?
The capitalists of the United States
may be said to be eminently success
full in big business attainments. At
the same time, if they stop to realize
in slight degree what such attainment
means to other lives associated with
such achievement, what feelings must
haunt their innermost consciousness
While they have given of them
selves-given their level best endeav-
ors to their task, looking within will
they not find at least that they have
done much they ought not to, and left
undone things they should have done.
Indeed, they are apt to find their sins
of omission great; but does conscience
ever trouble them?
Reviewing the years and what and
how they have yielded riches, is the
rich man always fortunate?
1t was so easy-after he learned the
game-to pile up dividends and cut
down wages! But does ne remember

flied abuse the spirit that animates a
strike.
Be honest with yourself and you will
be more capable of justice to your
workmen.
If capital has been merciless, why
condemn it's victims for acting on the
same principle?
Emancipation from industrial slav-
cry has not yet been effected for our
workers. Until this has been accom-
plished, labor's task is unfinished.
The women and children of the poor
are the most helpless and consequently
the most ruthlessly oppressed by ex-
isting customs.
The principles of organized labor
stand for their protection. The
strength of union, rightly exercised
can free them from the long hours of
labor and it's results. What has the
successful brother been doing while
such evil conditions have prevailed? ?
Achieving success for himself and op-
posing the labor union! Accusing them
of trying to interfere with his business
operations. In the cause of humanity's
interest is it not time for interference?
Above all things let our success come
thru clean and honorable channels.
Stanley had the right idea. He says
of success: "He has achieved success
who has lived well, laughed often and
loved much-who has gained the re-
spect of intelligent men and the love
of little children; who has filled his
niche and accomplished his task"

THE GIFTS OF GOD.
They Belong Not to the Idler, But the
Man Who Tolls.

Once upon time there was man
who said, 81 will work no more, and
God will take care of me-" And so he
gave away all he had and sat down to
wait for God to take care of him.
After awhile he became hungry and
nothing came his way. But in the dis
tance he saw some horses laden with
packs which he knew contained food
to eat. And so he grew SO hungry that
he followed them
Up the hill he toiled, while still in
the distance were the food laden
horses. They led him fine march,
and he grew weaker with the hunger.
At last he came near to where the
horses had stopped earlier in the day,
and there he found food that had been
left over.
"This is harder than work." he said,
"and now / realize that God will take
care of the man who is up and doing,
but if you sit down and wait the horses
will pass you by, carrying Gods gifts
on their backs."-St. Louis Globe

, cessful organizations from their be-
ginning continually endeavored to edu-
cate their members to agitate for i'm
proved conditions and to establish the
ways and means by which discipline
could be established and thru which a
sound financial system could be placed
in operation.
Unorganized or poorly organized
workmen may sometimes sneer at the
more successful workers and call them
aristocrats, but the so-called aristo-
Gratis secured their higher wage rate,
shorter hours of labor and recognition
from their employers because they
were willing to be governed by sound
businesslike methods in the transac-
tion of their organizations affairs.
No one group of the trade union
movement has any claim for aristoc-
racy of mind, but some of the groups
have used the minds which nature
endowed them with more effectively
than others. Instead of sitting down,
finding fault with the bosses and crit
icising other workers who were more
successful than they were, they have
spent their time in working out meth
DDS which would enable them to more
fully protect their interests, and they
have been willing to go down into
their pockets regularly every week
and pay a sufficient amount of dues to
give them financially effective organ
izations.
AS matter of fact, it is ridiculous
to talk about aristocrats in the trade
union movement, for there is no such
thing. Some organizations composed
exclusively of laborers today receive
higher minimum wage rates than

GETTING BACK AT HER.

Bridget had proved to be all that a
servant should be in regard to her

never seemed to extend to keeping her

Her mistress desired to tell her to

not wanting to offend such treasure,
she resorted to strategy.

The differences which exist between
some organizations in the labor move
ment do not arise from any spirit of
aristocracy, but because some groups
of workers are more willing to pay

OF word that revised official figures put the

in excess OF the total which was Announced

Weakness which resulted from selling on
this account was made much worse by
notice OF an embargo on eastbound shin

OF Pittsburgh. During the early trading,
too, indications seemed to point to a con,

leading gossip that liberal sales to Euro
