HELPING THE LOAN

Need of making the new Federal loan,

attractive as possible is recognized. by
the secretary of the treasury. The inn
portance of this, inasmuch as the en-
thusiasm which went with the previ-
Gus loans while the troops were getting
ready or in actual combat does not
exist, has been fully recognized. This
resulted in the change from a long

sons blunt command that the soft coal

while there was hope of compliance by
the half million miners who had been
ordered out, there was no absolute as
surance that the presidents letter

lust What Extreme Rad
icals Want, He Asserts
in His Denunciation.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Tim-
othy Shea has given notice to
! congress that the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen, Of which he is acting
president, would not observe
pending anti-strike legislation, if
enacted into law.
Such an attempt TO legislate regarding
railroad employees and deprive them Of
what he termed the economic right OF
workers to strike to prevent injustice,
must be accepted, he said. as foregone
conclusion that the railroads contemplate
general reduction in wages when the
government surrenders control and de
sire such a measure to forestall a strike.
viii Not Submit
IF these interests or the legislators
believe railroad employees will unresist-
lngly submit to any such invasion of
their rights as citizens" Mr.. Shea con-
tinued, they had better expel that
thought from their minds, because / be-
lieve l speak for the majority of fire
men and hostlers, at least, when | say
that any law which depriyes them of
their rights of American citizenship
would not be observed. not because this
class Of American citizens are law
breakers, but because such law would
be unwarranted n-American and con-
trary to Ameri an institutions"
Mr.. Shea said such law was almost
certain to precipitate revolution and was.
in fact. Just what extreme radicals and
revolutionaries desire.
This would give them logical argu-
ment for direct action he asserted,
with the intention of displacing the lib
cral and more conservative leaders and
thereby overthrowing the existing socialI
country
Would Blame Congress.
If an anti-strike law is enacted. the
responsibility for any upheaval which
might follow lies with congress-
Mr.. Shea's statement, more than
900 words in length. was prompted
by the publication of his recent testi-
mony before the railroad wage board in
which he said the railroad employees were
prepared to fight for a living wage and
time and half for overtime as condi-
tions precedent to the return of. the
roads to private control. He said his
remarks would be extended. to use a
favorite congressional term" so that the
public might understand the position Of
the railroad men.
Railroad men are awaiting the outcome
of the governments campaign against
high prices. said Mr.. Shea. adding that
if the cost of living is not reduced. then
they expect sufficient advance in wages
\ to enable them to maintain their standard
of living.
Wages Too Low, He Says
He declared firemen were running in
debt from So to $50 month because
their wage increases have not kept pace
with mounting prices.
Time and half for overtime work
was declared to be necessary to give the
men real eight hour day which he
declared they have never enjoyed despite
the passage of the Adamson law.

Butte Raising $4,000
for Salvation Army
to Build New Citadel

Butte, Oct. 26-To replace the
Salvation army building which has been
in use in Butte the last 30 years, a
campaign will begin in Butte to raise
$4,000 which will be used in construct
ing modern Salvation army citadel
Butte at this time has a population
estimated at $1,000 and the committee
begins on the plan of each citizen CON
tributing 81. This, however. it is be-
!ieved, will not be necessary. from the
fact that Senator w. A. Clark has
headed the list with contribution OF
5000; Symons' store $1,000: Hen
nessy's store $500 and Connen,s store
$i0O.
Along with the drive to raise funds
for the Salvation army building goes the
campaign for funds to complete Butte
and Silver Bow county quota of $1,000
for the Roosevelt memorial fund.
