The recent note to Mexica by Sec
rotary Of State Kellogg will IN
dOubtedly result in the Mexican
government realizing that American
rights Of life and property must be
protected and that the United States,
while it desires to be on most friend
ly terms with her sister republic Of
the south, does not intend to have her
face slapped by Mexico or anyone
else.
Secretary Kellogg, in his published
statement, called attention to the fact
that an act Of confiscation had been
perpetrated by the Gales government
and that the same had been brought
about by "the unreasonable demands
Of labor"
Organized labor in the United
States and organized labor in Mexico
are two entirely different PROPOSE
tons. In Mexico they have two Ia
Dor organizations and, while one Of
them is slightly sympathetic with the
aims Of the American Federation OF
labor in this country, it is openly pro.
nounced cOmmunistic in its aims anC
purposes. The other labor organiza,
ton in Mexico holds nothing in com,
mon with American labor and it is
also cOmmunistic in the full meaning
Of the word. The United Stats wants
the friendship Of all the nations o.
the world, but it does not intend T.
be bullied or bluffed by any country
nor any group Of people in any cOun
try who are cOmmunistic to the ntl
degree.

to any extent by these fomenters Of strife among
their harvest hands is probably because until
last year the tiIlers Of the soil in Montana ran up
against several lean seasons.
Now that the prospects for wonderful crops
in Montana are brighter than almost ever known
before, it appears that these trouble makers are
beginning to drift into the state.
The Helena Independent carried editorial
warning last Sunday of the advent Of this class
of gentry in the following statement:
with the prospect of another bumper crop
this year, the L w. w. who up to last year haven't
been seen in Montana in large numbers, are be-
ginning to float back into the state as full Of
deviltry and Incidence as ever.
'9The breed hasn't changed. From various
towns in the state word comes that they are al
ready working on the transient farm hands and
urging them not to work unless they are paid
more than the farmer can afford to pay. Also
they advise striking on the job and if denied
their ridiculous demands, the use Of sabotage,
which means such pleasant things as firing farm
buildings, hay or grain stacks and dropping a
monkey wrench into the moving machine or
header and similar acts designed to ruin the
business of the employer.
"The peace officers in the smaller towns aren't
as tender about tacking the Wobblies as they
were a few years ago. The floaters are landing
behind the bars with alarming regularity and it
is a trifle hot in the bull pen of a town or county
jail these days. They move on in a few days but
usually wind up in a neighbOring town where the
work must all be done over again.
"The influx of the /. w. w. is largely from the
Pacific coast where they hibernate during the
winter months. It is said a goodIy number Of
them came with the workmen brought here from
Puget Sound to clean up the Milwaukee tracks
near Lombard buried by landslides and also to
repair the tunnel which collapsed during the
quake.
"It hasn't taken long for the .fOremen to weed
them out and they are scattering around the state
joining other WObblies who have followed then
into Montana. Hence it is that being on th,
ground and finding that haying time is about
here and harvest to follow soon, they are putting
in their time heckling farm hands who are willinf
to work fO nthe liberal wages offered"
There is just one effective way to handle thii
situation and that is for the officials in all sec
lions of the state to keep a careful eye out fo
this element and to give these disturbers thei
walking papers just as quickly as they ar
identified.

THE COUNTY FAIR

Arrangements are going forward in good shape
for the Gallatin county fair and it is up to every
citizen of the county to boost the enterprise.
Without such support it must fail.
Gallatin county has the products in all lines
of agricultural endeavOr to make the exhibits
the best in the west.
This country has contributed much to the sue
cess of the exhibit end of the state fair in years
past.
It has a chance this fall to show the world
what it has within its own borders in the way
of grains, grasses, vegetables, livestock, and
other products of the farm and garden.
The boys and girls will not be forgotten. Wal
ter Mecklenburg and his assistants, with the CO.
operation of the county fair board, are arranging
some pleasing demonstrations to be put on by
the young folks.
The country people viii do their share and the
tOwnspeople must also do theirs.
Billings has put over the Midland Empire fair
through whOle-hearted community support and
cooperation. BOzeman can do the a thing
and make the Gallatin county fair one Of the
biggest and best local shows Of the kind in the
country.

sion under the veteran preference
acts Of March 8, and July II, 1919.
OF the number before mentioned,
about $4,000 qualified, thereby be-
coming eligible for appointment, and
nearly $4,000 have. received appoint
ments..
One must1not gather, however, that
the federal employees force has been.
increased materially, for the fact is
that since the Armistice there has
been a reduction Of 100000 employ
ees, but in the business Of govern
ment, as in civil life, the turnover is.
Of sufficient extent to call for from
80 to Is thousand appointments each
year to fill vacancies OccasiOned by
death, resignation and other causes.
Neither must it be construed for a.
moment that every man who served
his country is to receives an appoint
ment. It must neither, also, be con-
strued to mean chat a veteran Of the.
late war must be without necessary
qualifications, and the former soldiers
themselves recognize the justice Of
the requirement Of the Civil Service
regulations, viz, that they shall
demonstrate their ability, through.
examination, to hold positions to
which they are appointed.
These men who risked their lives
for the good of the nation and for
the maintenance Of the government,
also desire that the government be
conducted in the most efficient man
ner possible. For the fiscal year past,
1929 appointments were made,
through examination, to positions Of
rural carrier. Between May 10 and
July, 1924, the Post Office depart
ment repoy.ed 1888 nominations
for appointment as the result Of ex-
aminations for postmastership al
first, second and third class offices.
Of the total number nominated dur
inf this period 2,164 were ex-service
men who were given preference in the
ratings as prescribed under the gen
eral provisions Of the law.
These figures are a typical indica.
ton Of the definite way that the vet
eran preference law and regulation
operate.

AIR MAIL

To those who have never resided on or near
the route of the transcOntinental air mail, the
designation of Helena as a strategic" location for
a private air mail service to Salt Lake City means
little.
But when it is considered that such a project
would shorten the letter time to New York city
to three days or less, its Importance to the banker,
the farmer and the business man can be readily
seen.
1t would speed up business throughout Montana
and give our people the service now enjoyed by
those on the New York-San Francisco air mail
line.
No doubt some of the airmen in Montana will
soon be fitting through the clouds to the Mormon
capital with the mail, reviving memories Of the
Old-time pony express riders who established as
great an innovation in their day, and also speeded
up the mails between Salt Lake City and points
in the west and northwest.

MORE POLITICS

S%pOrtsmen in Musselshell and Fergus county
are much wrought up over the discharge of two
deputy game wardens in that section of the state
and the appointment, as they assert, Of political
henchmen of the present state administration to
take their places.
The spOrtsmen charge that the dismissal of
these officers was illegal and uncalled for; that
the men were efficient, conscientious officers,
and that there was no reason, other than poll
tical, for the move.
The have adopted very strong resolutions, call
ing upon the governor and the state game warden
to make public the charges which led to the dis
missal of these men, as represented by law, so that
they may have a hearing.
For the past four years the game department
has been out of politics. It is a crime against
game conservation in Montana and against the
spOrtsmen who finance it that the department
should again be turned over to the sportsmen.

A CRY.

AS predicted in these columns sew
eral months ago, the Democratic poll
ticians have realized that the Ameri-
can public stands firmly back Of
President Coolidge in the matter Of !
tax reduction.
There is hardly a day in Washing
ton but what some Democratic sena-
tor, representative, or political high
light Of the Democratic field, does
not come out in clarion tones stating
that taxes should be reduced, and the
vast majority Of them have twisted
around into their language the
thoughts that President Coolidge
gave voice to over a year ago.
It is the aim of the president to
made the tax reductions effective
early in 1926.
In the matter Of s~urtaxes, which,
during the last campaign, the Demo
Gratis were insistent upon maintain
ing, and in this were aided by radi-
Gals in the house and senate, there

TIMELY WARNING

(Sweet Grass News)
During the war, and for a year or two after
the armistice, Montana had a great deal of trouble
with different bands Of Industrial Workers of
the World who came into this state to incite dis
content among miners, lumber jacks and harvest
hands.

wealth has been remarkably free from ineursions

RICH IN HISTORIC MATERIAL
Helena Record-HeraIdl

n location OF a moving picture production
at Lodge Grass, where it will make a
film covering a drama of Indian and trading
post days in this state, recalls the fact that Mon
tana is rich in historic material. Life in Montana
for a hundred years has been dramatic, beginning
with the fur trading companies that ranged the
state in 1926 or earlier, and coming Town to the
present land settlement period of 1925.
The fur companies period, the period of Indian
wars, the period of the gold rushes, the period of
the free grass and great cattle and sheep ranches.
the period Of railroad building, the period Of great
mine developments and mine litigation, were all
filled with dramatic action against a western
background and local atmosphere.
The film producers at Lodge Grass, according
to newspaper report, viii make a picture called
"The Golden Horse" and will use the Crow In.

nothing the public wants so much as
some assurance that these periodic
stoppages of production shall cease.
Unless a spirit of genuine co-opera-
ton is developed between the anthra-
cite operators and the anthracite
miners in the interest of the anthra-
cite industry, there Will soon be such
a wide use of substitutes that the
prosperity of the anthracite industry
will be greatly impaired
In favoring the widespread use of
bituminouS coal Mr.. Hammond said
the wrong impression about this brand
has been obtained. The explanation
is that the wrong kind Of bituminous
coal has been used and by people in
experienced in its use" he said, but
by selecting the proper quality Of
hituminouS-that is, low volatile or
so-called SmokelesS coal, and by a lit
tie instruction as how to burn il. the
objectionable features of soft coal can
be eliminated.
Smoke from the burning of coal
Indicates incomplete combustion and
waste Of heat units of the coal. Proper
regulation of the draft of the fur
naces can eliminate the nuisance of
smoke and SCOT. Should, however,
SCOT accumulate, it can be readily re-
moved from the heating surface by
throwing in two or three handfuls OF
thoroughly dried common salt upon IL
substantial body of hot fuel two or
three times a month
The statement by John l.. Lewis,
Evening star., 1925-12-07

president of the United Mine Workers
of America, that there is danger of
aSphyXiation in the use of soft coal
for domestic purposes was character
, lied by Mr.. Hammond as altogether
erroneous" The Bureau of Stand
ards. he added, and other authorities
have stated that there is no danger
from this source, and that, indeed
the use of soft coal is less hazardous
than that of hard coal. The proof Of
the pudding is in the eating thereof
for, as | have said, one-half of the
houSeholderS of the country use bi-
luminous coal.
There Is an unlimited supply of
this class of coal available and com
petitive conditions obtain in that in
dustry which will prevent, in normal
periods, any considerable" price infia-
ton, though ! should warn YOU of The
probability of an increase in the price
Of bituminous coal compared with the
prevailing prices before the anthra-
cite strike. A reasonable increase in
price is justified. not only in accord
ance with the law of supply and de.
mand but because of the fact that
much of this coal was sold at that
time below the actual cost of produc-
ton.
