LESS DLENESS IN
MONTANA, SAYS REPORT
OF u. S. SECRETARY

Washington, Oct. 18.-Conditions of
employment in Montana are much
improved over month ago, Secretary
of Labor Davis today said in a report
on industrial conditions for the nation.
All coal mines peopened and operating
to capacity. Reopening of coal mines
has DETECTED some miners from the
copper to the coal mines, causing
slight decrease in the metal mines. In
fact, two-ffths of the metal mines
are closed and some of the mines are
operating with insufficient forces
Smelling companies operating to such
capacity as output of metal mines per-
mits. Employ in railroad repair
shops materially improved. Cement
plant at Trident, closed down by in
sufficient coal supply, has resumed OPP
erations, with 1875 workers A rail-
road has half completed a 100000
depot at Glendive. Seasonal work in
sugar plants will employ several humid
red workers for three months. The
largest agricultural harvest in several
years is using all available help.
The reports by cities follows:
Butte = Employment in copper
mining in a state of uncertainty.
Coal mines operating to capacity,
many miners returning from temper

alterations and repairs, amounting to
approximately $4,000. Building of
100000 hotel and a S250,0O0 addition

naence within 80 days.
HoIona- obo,. -,

of smelatermen, bricklayers, plumbers
plasters and carpenters still exists.
Smelling operations at East Helena

cipated improvement. Employment,
afforded by considerable paving, con-
tinues. Large building program pro-
vides employment for all building
craftsmen. Housing still inadequate.
Ending of harvest season will release
laborers to mining camps, now short
handed. All industrial plants operat-
ing to capacity.
Great Falls - Conditions of en-
ployment steady; smelters operating
to capacity. Harvesting of crops in
surrounding country is EMPLOYING
many farm hands. Municipal paving
ing progress, providing employment
for quite number of workers. Build
ing quiet, except in residential con-
strutcion. Housing not quite ade-
quate.
Billings - Gradual improvement in
Heavy crops causing
strong demand for farm labor. Build
ing continues active. Construction of
numerous residences, apartment build
lngs and additions to hotels, giving
steady employment to building crafts
men, with sufficient supply available.

IN THE WAKE
OF THE NEWS
Another Gold Brick.

Wallace's Farmer, the paper prasid-
ed over by secretary of agriculture
Wallace previous to his appointment,
let's down easy on another of the
gold bricks offered the farmers by the
G. 0. P.
Readers will recall that a year ago
the G. 0. P, and Senator Kellogg of
Minnesota in particular, assured us
that they had much better remedies
for the farmers than sterilization Of
grain prices proposed by A. G. Town
ley. Prominent among these was the
Grain Futures act
An act under this name was passed
and kicked out by the supreme court.
Now a new bill to meet the objections
of the court has been put through
Wallace's farmer says of it:
wherever there are violent f1uctu-
atoms resulting apparently from man
ipulation, the secretary of agriculture
is authorized to hold hearings which
may result in depriving individuals or
even markets Of their trading priv
leges.
"The new bill will not have much
effect one way Or the other on grain
prices although it may possibly re-
duce the violence of the fluctuations
slightly"
This has been true OF all the other
remedies which the G. O. P. had up
their sleeves and offered as better
than stabilizing prices-wonderful
legislation for farmers which would
have no effect on prices. Senator
Kellogg presents long list of the
stuff as the reason for re-electing
him
But one has right to question
whether the value of this stuff when
placed at anything more thar nothing
Prices are what counts with farmers
and they can get along we'll without
the frills. There has been no price
relief.

Campbell, An Apostate.

Milo D. Campbell, president of the
National Milk. Producers federation
campaigned for senator Townsend In
the recent Michigan primary. Towns
end is colleague and loyal supporter
Of NeWberry and thorough Harding
policy man. On the other hand far
mers who believe in political action
and organized labor put up candi-
date against Townsend.
It was close fight and Townsend Is
said to have spent 800, 600. The farm.
ers and workers had almost nothing to
spend. Yet Townsend got only 140,-
600 votes to 10000 for Baker, their
candidate, and $4,000 votes went to
2 other candidates.
We cannot imagine any ground on
which president Campbell can justify
himself. It is just question of
enough farmers finding out what he
did to end his misguided career.
AS the president OF a non-political
organization he had no business tax
ing an active part In party politics.
II progressive farmers had asked his
help, that would undoubtedly have
been his excuse. How much worse
then it is to take the part OF one of
the worst reactionary politicians Of
the country against an avowed far
mer-labor candidate!
Campbell once ran for governor him
self without success and has been
otherwise mixed up in politics. He,
is strong for the ship subsidy, high
tariff, and other Harding policies.
1t is a peculiar fact that when one
scratches so-called conservative farm
organization leader he finds a clever
politician, using his organization for
personal favors at Washington.
There is no principle In the HardinS
policies as they affect the farmer to
which farmer leader could conscien-
dously give breath Of approval.

GaifipoIi,

Not long ago the daily papers pub
lished the appeal of the British cab
met to the dominions for troops in the
expected Turkish mix-up. One of the
arguments used for rushing out
troops was worthy of notice 1t ran
thus.
Over 100000 of your kinsmen per.
ished at Gallipoli. Now is your great
opportunity to avenge them. Now
you can get even with the Turk.
The dominions such as Australia,
New Zealand and Canada did not stub
their toes In the rush to get there.
Perhaps they are little too civilized
to be rushed into more bloodshed on
such barbarous logic We found the
following poem in the London Daily
Herald in answer to the argument:
Have you not had your toll,
GallipoH?
VIII you bid death to call again the
roll
Across the narrow sea?
And through the gates
Of your disastrous Straits,
VIII you again send soul to follow
soul,
Gallipoli?
You held them in vice,
Gallipoli!
Helplessly, hideously, they paid the
price
And shall we live to see
This England make
So soon the old mistake
Again? We paid you once-must we
pay twice,
Gallipoli?
Was it SO long ago !
GallipO1i,
That we forget the horror and the woe
With which we paid your fee?
For the great feast
OF battle In the East
Shall we prepare the flesh again? No,
no,
Gallipoli!
