There will be the mapping out of
new ground to win and the urging of
full speed ahead with cooperation of
all labor forces for the coming cleo
tions.
Prior to 1864, when the Federation
was formed, labor had few legal
rights. Although the Civil War was
fought to free the slaves, the wage
Garner in the North was virtual
lily as much slave as the black
bondsmen in the South.
With the formation of the New
York State Trades Assembly in 1866
began the march to freedom, with
labor writing its legal rights in the
statute books and each year climbing
to the present advanced peak of
achievement.
Ups and Downs AIternated
There were years of defeat and
years of victory, the great advances
coming after 1870, when the present
code of labor legislation was built.
That year the 8-hour day law for all
IN city, county and state employ was
passed. In 1887 the Federation made
Labor Day state holiday with nav
Tor state employees. Two years later
began the first successful attack on
the sweatshop with law putting
THESE places under factory inspection.
Gradually the power of the state
labor department was expanded nm
til It became the second most impor-
miniatration of the labor law. inciud-
tant An the states activity with adj
ing regulation Of factories and condi-
tions of employment and the admin
istration of the compensation law lat
er established as a model for the an
tire nation.
In fact, 1899 was one of labor's big
years, added protection being given
children from employment in hazard
Gus occupations and more factory in
spectors were allowed the labor de-
partmeht.
Employers Liability Extended.
Then in 1908 came another great
advance by the law which prohibited
the imprisonment of wage earners for
debt of less than 500 and the first
work toward an employers liability
act which in 1910 became the basis for
the present compensation system for
injuries.
The golden age of remedial legisla-
tion and expansion of the state labor
departments powers opened in 1911
when the Factory Investigating Com
mission was created. 1t came as a
result of the terrible Triangle factory

None Better Than
Treasure State Peas

Jim Yandall says that about the
most interesting thing he saw
while on his recent trip was the
pea cannery at Bozeman. The farm
ers of the Gallatin Valley devote
large acreage to raising peas which
are bought by the canning factory.
Mr.. Yandall was surprised at the
extent of the operations and the
speed with which the peas passed
from the field to the can. The
growing vines are cut with mower
and hauled to the pea threshers
which hull and separate the peas
from the vines after which the num-
erous sizes and grades are sorted
by machinery and before the close
of the day are cooked and sealed in
tin cans. He saws that they sampled
the product of the factory and
found them as good or better than
any he ever tasted. Any one who
tries Montana peas will find that he
is right.
