Disputes were originally certified to
the board on the part of employees be-
longing to one or more of the Is unions
on lO3 railroads. Ten of these roads,
however, were electric lines and the
board ruled these lines out. Twenty
SIX other lines adopted the wage sched-
ules protected by the trunk lines, land
down in what is known as decision
No. =, the wage award by the United
States railroad labor board of july 20,
1920.
The trunk lines in decision No. 2
were those represented by the Assoca-
tlon of Railwaw Executives.
Following the application of decision
NO. employees on roads not affected
began to file disputes with the board
and the whole matter was taken up in
a hearing known as the short line hear
ing October Is, 1920. The hearing con-
sumed IA days over period of more
than month. The short lines are not
parties to the present rules and work
ing conditions hearings, and in event
they do not accept the boards decision
on rules, separate hearing on rules
for short lines will be necessary.
Various scales of wages have been
in effect on the 81 roads. Some car
rlers paid the standard scale estab-
lished by the United States railroad
administration. Others paid approx
mately the same rates as those paid
on the trunk lines in the same terri
tory.

QUITE ACTIVE
Valley County Organization Plans to
Become Part of the State Wool
Growers Corporation.

At meeting of the Valley county
Wool Growers association, held in
Glasgow last Friday, preliminary plans
were discussed and decided upon by
which the local body may become part
of the State Wool Growers association.
The meeting was well attended, there
being present representatives of 4O,-
600 to $4,000 head of sheep, and great
interest was shown in the wool grow
ers' future program, it was regarded
as particularly desirable to assist the
state organization in plans for market
ing wool.
Valuable consultation was also had
on matters relating to shearing and
the wage scale for this year.
B. P. Langen, who represented the
county at the state meeting at Helena,
March 10Th, reported it the most sue
cessful meeting ever held in the state.
There were about 250 wool growers
present, including representatives
from every part of the state Mr.. Mar
shall, secretary of the National Wool
Growers association, spoke of the in
teresting condition of the industry; Mr..
Stapp, manager of the National Wool
Warehouse and Storage company,
spoke at length on wool in storage, the
Boston market, the efforts of Chicago
bankers to aid in financing the 1921
wool crop and the grading of wool.
He concluded with strong appeal to
the western states to organize for bet
ter marketing of WOOL
Mr.. Langen also said that the state
association had agreed on $40 per
month for ranch hands and $50 for
herders, shearing was fixed at 121a
cents and board. A committee was ap-
pointed to work out plan for state
Wool Growers corporation, to report
at the general meeting to be held April
18th.

CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT
FOR ORPHEUM THEATRE

f. l.. Wharton, who owns the cleo
trical shop next door to the Orpheum
has been appointed manager of the
theatre and will take charge April 1st
Norman Stubblefield the present man
ager having resigned, intending to en-
gage in ranching with his brother
near Malta.
Mr.. Wharton has been connected
with the theatre as operator for some
time and thoroughly understands the
business. He says that he appreciates
that the public taste is constantly be-
coming more refined and discriminate
ing regarding pictures, and that while
he cannot improve on the grade of
pictures the Orpheum has been pro-
ducing, he hopes to make better Sc
lections in the booking Of the Para
mount and Aircraft productions, which
are the very best in the business.
Prices will continue the same under
the new management.

G0LDA HALLADAY
MADE SECRETARY
Chamber of Commerce Promotes Lady
Assistant. Offices Are Moved
to GOOdkind Block.

At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Glasgow Chamber of Com
merce Friday, the resignation of Sec
retary l.. r: Jones was accepted. Mr..
Jones will leave Glasgow April 10th
for Great Falls where he will become
secretary of the Commercial club.
A number of applications were filed
with the board for secretary of the
Glasgow club, but the appointment has
been given to Miss Golda Halliday,
who has been assistant secretary for
a number of years and who under
stands the work and who will proceed
under the direction of the Board.
A report was also received from Pro-
ject Manager Geo. f. Stratton, on
the possibility of again securing the
services of C. C. Wright, field irriga-
ton assistant for the Milk River VAL
ley project. Mr. Wright will be re-
by many of the water users
and his activities in this in this sec
ton last year. Mr.. Stratton further
stated that due to the small appropria-
ton to carry on demonstration work
for irrigation projects, it would be
about June 1st before Mr.. Wright
would be available. There are many
irrigation problems that demonstra-
ton agent can be of assistance in and
the water users will no doubt be glad
to learn of the excellent chance to Sc
cure such man as Mr.. Wright.
1t was decided to move from the
present quarters in the Rumble build
ing into the Goodkind block on April
|. The program of work for 1921 by
the chamber of commerce is a con-
structive one and the members are
looking towards a successful year for
he organization.

MANY MINES ARE
NOW SHUT DOWN
State of Market Compels Anaconda
and Other Companies to Temper
arily Suspend Operations.

Announcement was made in New
York Tuesday of the suspension of
mining operations by the Anaconda
Copper company, by John d. Ryan,
chairman of the company's board of
directors.
Lack of domestic and export demand
was given as the reason for stoppage
of activities by Anaconda and the
other concerns We're the Utah Copper,
Ray Consolidated, Chino Copper and
Nevada Copper companies. Officials
and others interested in the five COM
panies expressed the opinion that the
shut-downs would be only temporary.
Normal production, they said, would
be resumed as general industrial con-
dltlonS became better.
Mr. Ryan made public statement
by the directors to stockholders of the
Anaconda company which said the
suspension was ordered with regret
and only after deliberate consideration
compelled the conclusion that under
existing conditions no other course was
advisable.
"The mines and plants of our COM
pany are in good condition and can and
will be SO kept that a normal produc-
ton at reasonable cost can be speedily
made whenever there is sufficient i'm
provement in the business situation to
warrant an output on an economic
basis.
Press dispatches from Butte say that
at the local offices of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company no prediction
was made as to the probable length of
the shutdown. In fact, the order to
close had not been received either at
Anaconda or Butte at late hour Tues
day afternoon although it was anti
cipated The shut down will mean that
from $500 to 5000 men will be thrown
out of work, that 1900 employed at
the company's reduction plant in An
aconda will be out of employment and
smaller number thrown out of work
at Great Falls, with reductions in their
forces of the Butte, Anaconda & Pa
clfic railroad and the company coal
mines and numbering plants.
Other companies will be affected in
the Butte district as most of them
send their ores to Anaconda for treat
ment. The North Butte company sus-
pended operations temporarily last
Wednesday. Other companies have
reduced forces during the last few
months and it is known that the sus-
pension of the Anaconda will mean
further reductions on the part of other
corporations operating in the Butte
district.
The last shutdown of the Anaconda
properties took place November 9th,
1907, and continued until March 1st,
1908. During that period the Anacon-
da smelter was closed, but the works
at Great Falls received about 5000
tons of ore a day from the company's
mine here which is about the tonnage
now being treated at Great Falls. The
suspension at that time was due to
the condition of the copper market.
In 1898 and 1894 there was sus-
pension of operations by the Anaconda
due to the panic and to other
At that time many of the
miners and smeltermen employed by
the company were given work in the
of the Butte, Anaconda &

The reference to the bee is rather
appropriate, for while there was a
Swarm" composed of the actors in this
one act of the great national drama,
now being staged, there was efficient
direction and the individual efforts
contributed to orderly results; there
was an organization that gave the de-
sired answer to 10 men irrespective of
red tape and the usual drawbacks. An
observer remarked that it reminded
him of making affidavits during the
war, as fact the work was done Tues
day and Wednesday was much greater
and more complicated that that re-
quired during actual hostilities, some
men were required to make as high as
fifteen affidavits, and in other respects
complications were multiplied.
The citizen, proud of his American
birthright, would prefer to draw a veil
over the pathetic side of the scenes
presented by the gathering. The voice
less appeal of the wounded patriot
the soldier boy manned in his young
manhood in the field of battle while
fighting for his country's flag-has
been unheeded until now He has been
led almost to feel that the much
vaunted honor of our nation was an
empty boast, and that his blood had
been shed in vain for a graceless and
selfish band of patrioteers. Some of
those present told how upon their way
to Glasgow men who claimed to be
Americans, had failed to honor the or
der of the government for food and
transportation. Insult has been heaped
upon humiliation. But the ex-servce
man is ever heroic. Even now the
manned soldier is not demanding his
right, but right will triumph; his silent
suffering, and the simple justice of the
debt we owe him, have voiced an ap-
peal that has moved the nations con-
science and now those in control of
government have, after more than two
years of wicked neglect, ordered and
resolved that the debt of the nation to
the service men shall be paid, in as far
as it is within the power of a just gov
ernment to pay for the sacrifice of
health and strength, by so many of
these young patriots.
AS one looked at these men, who had
so patiently suffered injustice, the
guilty conscience was appeased by the
feeling that at last material assistance
had arrived for them; at last some
thing concrete was being done to re-
deem his country's and his own honor;
that at last the government had com
menced to pay it's war debts, it mea-
sureless obligations to it's wounded
soldiers, its war indemnity to human
ity-so long delayed
The hope of these young men, that
has been crushed to earth, by politi-
clans, has risen again, and the wise
provisions for vocational training will
strengthen the noble spirit they all
possess and help them on to COM
Portable existence and useful lives.
The moral effect on those who attend |
de at Glasgow has been all for good, .
and they left for their homes with new
faith in the government and in human
ity. The attempt to help has at least

Last fall Mr. Mabee did some good
constructive work in the organization

SENATOR JUNOD
WAS SELECTED
Committee Permitted BY Court to
Make Selection to Be Certified
After Final Decision.

Helena, March 29-Members of the
Republican state central committee, in
session here today, were granted per-
mission to proceed in the election of a
member of the Republican national
committee and transact the business
for which they were called, in an order
issued by the supreme court at one
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.
The action cannot be certified, how
ever, until final settlement of the
case.
The order followed an argument for
two hours in the morning in which T.
B. Weir, representing the Republican
state central committee, asked for a
writ of supervisory control directing
District Judge A. J. Horsky of Helena,
to modify his temporary restraining
order. His temporary injunction en-
tered on March 25 was granted attor-
neys for 0. H. P. Shelley, LIE Faust
and John Adami, and restrained the
state central committee from electing
another national committeeman in
compliance with a law of the special
session.
This leaves the case in the district
court, where attorneys for the state
central committee will appear April 5
and show cause why the restraining
order should not be issued. AT that
time the case will be fought out with
view of bringing it to the supreme
court to test the validity of the law of
the special session.
In the court room at the time were
Attorney General w. D. Rankin, who
took no part in the argument; Leo
Faust, o. H. P Shelley and John
Adami, and the gallery of the court
room had an unusual number of other
state officials and attaches.
After few preliminary remarks
Chief Justice Brantly interrupted the
attorneys to say that the supreme
court would consider only one question
That was whether or not the supreme
court could advise the lower court to
revise its order and allow everything
to be done that can be done which
would be more effective until finally
disposed of by Judge Horsky or by an
appeal to this court. The court added
that the only question to be considered
was that of stopping all meetings of
the Republican state central COM
mittee.
L Ht pueStlOIl VI tile powers Ol d WIFI
of supervisory control and the powers
of the district court were then argued
Confirm Junod Election.
The Republican state central com
mittee met and formally confirmed the
tentative action of Monday in select
ing Senator 0. H. Junod as Republican
national committeeman from Montana,
subject to the final decision of the
court on the validity of the law recent
ly passed, known as the Kirton bill,
which specifically provides for the ell
ection of a committeeman at this time
by each political party.
The committee adopted a resolution
stating that Senator Junod was its
choice, and that its restricted action
at this time was due to the court pro-
ceedings, which hold final action in
allegiance. 1t also adopted resolution
Governor Joseph M. Dix
on for his leadership during the legis-
lative session and for the "many laws
recommended by him and passed by
the legislature"

How to Secure a Loan.

The largest amount which can be-
loaned to an individual is 5000, which
amount will be loaned to those who
meet the conditions and who agree to
use the money for the purchase of seed
sufficient to sow at least 100 acres, and
to use this seed for the production of
grain and flaxseed. Loans will be made
at the rate of $500 per acre to those
who desire to SOW less than 100 acres.
To secure a loan call at one of the
banks of the county or inquire of the
Farm Bureau community chairman for
application blanks and instructions.
The application blank requires
statement of the amount of the loan
desired, the number of acres to be
sown to each crop for which seed is to
be purchased, and the legal descrip-
tion of the land on which these crops
are to be sown, together with state
ment of the acreage sown to these
crops by the applicant in 1920 and the
yields obtained. 1t also requires an
agreement to use the money loaned for
the purchase of seed and to sow this
seed for the production of grain or
flaxseed on the land described. 1t re-
quires a further statement to the ef-
feet that the applicant does not have
and can not get funds from other
sources for the purchase of such seed.

EASTER WITH THE METHODISTS

Rev Allen reports Easter as having
been a good day at the Methodist
church He says, "To begin with we
had the largest attendance at Sunday
school in the history of the school. At
the afternoon service sixteen were
baptized and twenty-seven were re-
ceived into the church. In the evening
the church was packed to hear the
cantata rendered by our choir under
the direction of w. H. Rasey."
The cantata, "Christ, the King" was
pronounced by those present as one
of the best sacred concerts ever given
in Glasgow.
