NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 1.-7Certif-
Gates of merit were awarded by the
New York Building Congress, repre-
senting the unions and contractors in
the building industry here, to two
workmen on the Barclay-Vesey Build
ing. The men were regarded as the
best craftsmen on the job, one of the
most stupendous feats of construc-
ton even in the downtown sections
where skyscrapers are thick as pines
on Mt. Shasta.

WORKERS MAKE GAIN
ONLY THROUGH UNIONS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 1.-"Ev-
cry gain that labor now enjoys is due
to the workers organized effort, their
collective bargaining" said William
M. Franklin, clerk of the Oklahoma
supreme court and author of the Okla

In tracing the development of work
ers, through unity, to meet changed
industrial conditions, Mr.. Franklin de-

The trouble started last Saturday
morngni when Patrick O'Connor, sup
erintendent of the Donovan No. | mill,
went to Martin Larson's room when
he was getting ready for work, in
forming him that he was fired for
circulating a petition for more pay.
O'Connor then demanded the where
abouts of Schultz, but Larson refused
to inform him. O'Connor later found
Schultz and fired him, giving the
same excuse for his act.
Francis Donovan, ing manager
of the mill, announced Monday that
Schultz and Larson had been fired
for circulating the petition on the
company's time. This charge was abb
solutely false, the striking men say,
as Schultz and Larson used their own
spare time in the daytime TO pass the
petition. Donovan's charge that they
left their machines at night to agi-

BONDS ARE SOLD

HELENA-The largest flotation Of
irrigation district bonds in Montana
was consumated with the sale in the
East of the Bynum irrigation bonds,
totaIling S1,OOO,OOO, and the deposit
in a Helens bank Of that sum Of
money.
The district, organized in 1920, an
der the state irrigation district law

land, Of which 21,2O1 are classed as
irrigable,
This means placing $1,000 acres OF
choice Montana land in Teton county
under irrigation. This is not a col
onization movement, as the land now
is pretty we'll settled. There are,
however, a number of men having
large holdings, which they have
agreed to place on the narket in
small tracts at a reasonable price, to
settlers who are experienced in farm
ing under irrigation.
The land is desirahly situated. The
Park-to-Park highway runs through
the project, which IS served by two
great railroads, the Great Northern
and the Milwaukee. The land will be
subdivided into 200 farm units, none
Of them located more than four miles
from a railroad.
This land is said to be adapted 4
wheat, oats and other small grains
also to the growing Of beans, peas
potatoes, as well as sugar beets, whici
have been raised in this area, it i
claimed, with excellent results.
CONSTRUCTION work will be begu.
within the next two weeks, with Win
ston Brothers company, MinneapOli:

PRONOUNCED LEPER

MILES CITY. - Carl Ostiund, an
Oldtime resident Of the Big Hill dis
trict southwest of Ekalaka, has been
taken by the county physician, DR..
Sandy, to the federal leper colony at
Carville, near Baton Rouge, La.
Mr.. ~Ostlund, according to the ply
stefan, has leprosy in a mild form and
it is hoped the course of the disease
may be arrested. Contrary to popu-
lar belief, leprosy is not classed as a
contagious disease by the medical au.
thorities. According to a statement
from the Montana state beard of
health, "leprosy is not as contagious
as tuberculosis and if ordinary pre-
cautions are taken there is no danger
of catching the disease from an az
flicted person" DR.. Sandy, who Wis
tied the leper colony in Louisiana
says the physicians there handle the
lepers and treat them just the same
as doctors handle any other patients.
The only federal leper colony in the
United States is at Carville, La
There are 251 lepers there in al
stages Of the disease, and DR.. Sandy
saw most of them. Some who arr
treated are cured and sent home.

The output Of coal was il,i74,0O0
