MOVE TO END FEMALE Mine
LABOR STIRRING UP india

SlMLA. India, Sept. 6-The ques-
tion Of the adyisability of prohibiting
the employment of women In mines
has again been taken up by the Gov
ernment OF India. At present about
one-third OF the mine workers in In
dia are women. Since 1912 women
have been excluded from mines in
England; in 1901 an attempt was
made to prohibit them from Indian
mines. This effort failed on account
OF violent opposition on the part Of
employers. Expression was given to
the fear that If steps were taken to
prevent women relatives OF men work
ers from going below the latter
would themselves refuse to work In
mines.

builder. 1t is recognized as the mark
of an empire builder in the modern
and rapidly developing northwest.
Governor HaskelI's name is associat-

ultimate completion of the great pro-
ject. Facing the perils of the gem
eral demand for interference from

Immediately following, and almost

icles of incorporation for the Wyom-

at Helena, the state capital. In De-

The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-05-24

One year before this memorable
utterance on the part of Governor
Haskell, in November, 1921, w. G.
Williams, personal representative
OF the builder, made an examina-
ton of the general situation and
had arranged for the building of
such an oil carrying project. The
original idea contemplated the
transportation Of oil from both the
Salt Creek and the Cat Creek field
of Montana through such a me-
dunn. 1t was felt that independ-
ent transportation was necessary
for the encouragement of the in
dependent producer.
AS a preliminary a committee of
Miles City citizens met with the rep
resentatives of the Haskell interests
in Chicago in November, 1922. The
meeting was propitious for the fur

Secretary H. w. Schnell of the
Montana Retail Merchants Associa-
tion that preliminary ar
rangements are well under way for
the annual meeting which will this
year be held in Billings. The Bill
ings commercial club has already ap-
pointed committees and is actively
engaged in work which will insure
the success of the meeting.
A feature of the convention this
year will be the meetings of the va
rious trade sections, more than half
the time being given to this arrange
ment. 1t is believed that one of the
greatest benefits which a merchant
can possibly derive is the privilege
of exchanging opinions with others
engaged in his line.
The officers confidently expect the
most successful convention in the
history of the organization, which
has grown a marvellous growth In
membership and strength and now
consists of more than one thousand
members from all the towns and cit
les of the state. A district counsel
lor represents the association in each
county and the organization is fur
Their strengthened by a chairman and
special committee representing each
trade section.
Foremost among the attainments
of the last year are the wonderful
growth in membership, the vigorous
educational campaign maintained by
the officers and the activity in legis-
1ative matters.
Among measures considered were
the Truth in Fabrics Bil1'' which
was defeated, and "House Bill 142"
relating to conditional sales notes as
collateral security, which was passed.
The local associations at Great
Falls, Bozeman and Kalispell are al
ready affiliated with the state or
on a unit basis and it is
believed that within the mex year
practically every other local in the
state will become affiliated.
