LABoR's BUSINESS AGENTS"

It would seem that the action of the city of Great Falls. Montana. in trying to give work to it's unemployed, was wise and timely move. The wago of $5 n day would seem a fair ono under tho circumstances.
 Gt appears such Is not the case. The "business agent of the federal union and unskilled organizations affiliated with the American Federa- ton Of Labor. says that its members may not work for a paltry s5 a day {. They must get $5.5O. A strike was called therefore.
 The usefulness of unions to the working man is here recognized as it has been recognized many times. Tho workingman has gained much through his union.
 But not much in praise of bus mess agents" of unions has been noted. Probably many of the rank and file Of the unions know deep in their hearts that they would be bet ter on were their business agents" 10 possess n little broader vision. little less of the desir. to do things. n bit Of inclination not to inter- fcre in cases where bigger man would see that special emergency" existed.
 Tn unemployed who had work from the city are "out Of luck" that is all, because of the narrow viewpoint of the "business agent" unless said "business agent" is able to levy n tax on the employed to furnish fund which will give those mon the five dollars a day they would have earned if the good offer of the city of Great Falls had not been spurned. Tn such case the employed would be "out of luck. Tho offer was not spurnGd by the men who needed the money. evl- dentIy: 1t was spurned by the bust ness agent" who. undoubtedly, does not need financial aid.
 Employers are sometimes small" us arc labor leaders
 The acts Of these small men. whom in position of authority. are tho things that keep labor and capital ao far apart.

 RANDOM o }SERVATIONS THE CITY AND ITC PEOPLE.

One of the first acts of Judge George w. Klett meets with whole hearted public approval IL is his de- cision to establish a juvenile court which will hold sessions on Saturday mornipSs.
 Thts procedure squares with modern ideas of dealing with juvenile de- linquents. Instead of being considered incidentally, they are to have a ses- sion of their own when their cases can have complete consideration.
 It is also a wholesome plan to insist that parents or guardians of children who have transgressed ethe law be quently parents arc more to blame than children for juvenile delinquency and it is necessary to impress upon them the relation the state expects them to bear toward their offspring, and their responsibilities as fathers and mothers Home conditions ara frequently at the bottom of children'S failure to obey the law. This fact is recognized by SoCiOlo9 'sts and by courts and for that reason it is un- usual to find juven Us dealt harshly with for mira aCtions of the law, un- less these infractions occur frequent ly.

WHITMAN PREDICTS
 WHOLESALE CLEANUP.
Says He Will Uncover All Police
 Scandals

New York, Feb. 12.-Disclosure ot police scandals rivalling those of the days of Police Lieutenant Becker and the Herman Rosenthal murder, for which Becker and an East Side gun mems gang went to death in the cleo tric chair is forecast by former Gov ernor Charles $. Whitman who, cloaked with authority by the dis trict attorney, is probing into alleged grating and corruption by New York city officials. He has termed the situation grave" and threatens to unfold a vice ribbon of many hues.
 The Whitman inquiry has been un- der way only a short time, since the state assembly was urged to order legislative investigation } into New York city's administration early in January. Already two police captains havo been indicted for alleged graft ing, charged with accepting fees from business firms in exchange for police protection during strikes. They are Captain William A. Bailey, Man Brooklyn. More were said to be slated to follow them.
 MT. Whitman has had his fights with higher city officials. and resort ed to subpoena to bring Mayor Hylan and Police Comm issioner Enright before him. Of these he demanded that his force be given certain number of detectives, the particular men he wanted to aid in the investi- gation. He exhibited state laws which he said authorized him to have what he wanted, without interference by mayor or commissioners t#
 When money seemed to be lacking for cont nuation of the inquiry flnan- cial assistance from private sources was promised the former governor, he announced, and a certified check for $2O,00O was presented to him on Jan. uary 21 by Edward Hatch, Jr., chairman of the New York Mer- chants association committee on pol-' lution, sewerage and waste dispoS0h This check was made available in

 It was the fond belief of home. brew makers some time ago that If they tried their amateur productions. on the guinea pig, human life Id digestion might be saved. The g d4>4ea Dig had proven a satisfactory subject for scientific tests and according toI their reasoning if the sensitive animal survived their brew it was ripe for human consumption, if the pig diedI it was in a good cause. and the brew CTS tried again to mako a liquor ht to drink by man and beast.
 Pigs is pigs but the guinea vari- ety is more rodent than pig and have been found to value their lives aboVd the convivial compensations of liquor samplers.

SUNDAY MOVIES.

The allowing of Sunday motion pie lures tn the state Of Connecticut has been the topic of much discussion for the past few weeks. and matters were brought to head Thursday when q hcuring was held at the capitol before the Judiciary committee.
 Advocates of both sides were pres ent. and the opposition speeches were for state statute prohibiting movies on the grounds that such affairs com mercialized the Sabbath. The citizens appearing for motion pictures said that the form of amusement allowed the people to observe the Sabbath as they saw ht. and argued for the bill to stand ns II is. The bill on the statute books at present grants local option. so that community may decide for itself.
 Senator Edward Hall and Repre- acntatlvcs Covert and Rutherford of New Britain are for Sunday movies. New Britain has been n pioneer in tho. field Mayor George Landcrs had the fight when he was in office and Senator George klett has been advocat- irg liberal Sunday along these lines foi a good many years.

ladies who appear in police court Is small-can expect to get a square deal.
 Opposition is crystallizing against the pet scheme of some identified per son or persons to transfer to tho mayor the appointment of the plumb ing inspector and to deprive the board of health of jurisdiction over that, official No less a well known citizen than pr. T. Eben Reeks has now come out openly against the plan and his word should weigh heavy when the final reckoning is made. As former superintendent of the health depart ment and also an official of the state hoard of health, Dr. ReekS is in a position to know what is best In ad- ditiOn, he has no axe to grind and it cannot be said that he has ever eX- pressed an opinon or a decision that can counter to the best interests of the city
 It is difficult to see a gain in taking the appointment of the plumbing in- spector from the authority of the beard of health and placing it in the hands of the mayor. Such a proposal creates the suspicion that a friend of the present executive is in the field for the position and has enough in fiuenCc to win the mayor over such a, scheme. Politics is a devious game and what may not always appear on tho surface may be found deeper down. No reasons for the change in the charter have been given, no suf- fcient explanation has been made why such a scheme is fostered. To the Observer it seems as if the politicians are getting their fingers into the pie again.

 Personal salesmanship is effective Tn winning promotion or bringing about demotion. Those who rise in the es- timation of their employers are those who usually try to please people for whom they are working. This does not mean that they should fawn or howl with fc!gned laughter every time the boss tells a funny story. But interest in the welfare of the ployer-the kind of interest the real commercial salesman has in the success of his CuSt0mcrS--Can be counted upon to win higher berths when vacancies exist
