parts Of the world.
No Home or Family.
These low wages paid in the copper
country force thousands of men to for
go a home and family. They can
hope to make little more than enough
to meet the board bill of $40 a month,
to provide a minimum of clothing and
the stake which will be necessary
when the mine or smelter closes down
to keep prices high and wages low.
Federal figures show for IL typical
occupations in the copper industry Of
Arizona that the low wages of 1923
have fallen still lower. The districts
chosen are Globe dominated by the
Miami Copper Co. and Ray operated

No SteadY Work.

NO OICduy WOTNs
Practically all the mining is done
today by the machine man operating
a mechanical drill. The mucker is
the underground man who works with
the machine miner. In handling and
refining the ore after it leaves the
mine, workers paid as unskilled labor
predominant. The rates shown are
those of April in each year. With
steady work the minimum rate in the
Ray district would pay worker less
than $500 year and such steady
work is unheard of.
The profit sheets of Miami Copper
show that this corporation has paid
its stockholders dividends at the rate
of 40 per cent year since 1920, and
that it paid so per cent in 1919, 80
per cent in 1918, 175 per cent in
1917, lis per cent in 1916, 40 per
cent in 1915 and 80 per cent in 1914.
This it total of more than 61a times
their investment paid back in profits
in 10 years. Ray Consolidated also
is reported as satisfactory to the
owners with a profit of some &c a
pound on the 61,OOO,OOO pounds pro.
duced in 1923, altho it has not paid
dividends since 1920.

HANDSOME NAIL

shop of Mario Adinolf to find out all

Every day the girls meet with Mario
and plan their organization campaign.
big meeting of all beauty parlor
workers is to be held soon in hall
donated. Then there will be more
meetings to form locals in the lower
and upper East side, in East and West
Harlem, and in the upper West side.
The manicurists who are working for
the organization of their fellow opera
tors are confident that more than 300
beauty parlor girls will join the union
as soon as the charter is given.
The manicurists in barber shops are
not so poorly paid as those in the
beauty parlors, Mario says, and Miss
Dean, the manicurist in his shop
agrees. But in the beauty parlors
where women are the chief patrons,
the girls make little. more than SIS
week. Their wages are actually
only $40 and $12," Miss Dean as
serted, land women do not tip as a
rule, so the girls have barely enough
to live on"
Another manicurist tells of the long
hours the girls have to work. 1--WE

Slaves to Jobs.
One of the manicurists who has
just come back from California says
that the girls are almost slaves to
their Jobs in Los Angeles. She says
the Labor Commissioner has tried to
help them in having the S-hour law
enforced but that the girls are so
afraid that they will lose their jobs
for telling how long they work over

neld Independent or the farmer-labOr
party. Baldwin was shown that the
laws Of Montana did not permit such
a procedure but under pressure from
Walsh, Wheeler sent him orders to
proceed.
To get some show of an organiza-
ton he had to make an alliance with
the supporters of Governor Divon,
who is also interested in seeing the
farmer-labor party defeated. Wink
ing Ed" Manson, secretary Of the Mon.
tana Federation of Labor, a notorious
lickspittle of Governor Dixon, whose
opposition to the farmer-Iabor party
since its inception has caused him to
give the unions in Great Falls and
Butte wide berth, was chosen by
Baldwin to help him.
PIutes Present.
Manson at once supplied list with
the result that all the enemies of the
farmer-labor party in the state were
invited to a meeting in Helena last
Saturday. Nineteen attended, amongst
whom were Burley Bowler, who was
financed to start paper in the east
ern part of the state for the purpose
Of attacking Taylor and the farmer
labor party. Gallaher of Great Falls,
secretary-treasurer of the Black Magic
Oil company in. which hundreds of
workers lost their hard-earned earn
ings, was another who was present.
Gallaher is known as a stool-pigeon
of Joe Dixon's and did his best as
secretary of the Smeltermen's Union
to get the workers to vote the repub-
lican ticket at the recent primaries.
The workers are not being fooled by
his type Of political pack rats any
more, with the result that Gallaher
who was himself bell wether candi-
date, was the low man on the repub-
lican ticket, failing to carry even his
own precinct.
Typical Takers.
Manson, Gallaher and Bowler were
typical of those who attended Satur-
days meeting in Helena. Most of the
time was taken up with speeches at
lacking the farmer-labor party and
stating that the Montana farmer-labor
party was nothing but branch of the
Communist Party. Taylor and Wallace
came in for their share of abuse.
Taylor was always referred to by the
speakers as RED Flag" Taylor, a
nickname he received from the cap
italist press while lighting the battles
of the working class in the Montana
State Senate.
After good deal of speechmaking,
the nineteen supporters of Dixon and
Walsh passed resolution which in
effect stated that the candidates of the
farmer-labor party did not have the
support of LaFollette and Wheeler.
They also decided to circulate petit
tions to put independent electors on
the ballot with the name of Wink
ing Ed" Manson at the head of the
list.

safely can be left to be settled by the slow advancement in
