FIGHT ON UNDERWORLD
AR|STOCRACY IS BEGUN
CHICAGO is NOW SPREADING
WIDE NET AND TAKING HUN
DREDS INTO CUSTODY.
HOLD. THE LAW IN CONTEMPT
Gunner and Their Associates Are
Feared and at the Same Time Hon
ored, Living in Wealth and Ease
In Their Own World.

In the alley dives, the basement
dens, and the corner saloons there is
haunting fear in Chicago today.
Guns are being worn where they make
the least conspicuous bulges; here and
there in the darker corners huddle the
grim-faced, desperate men who are
the gangsters and the gunner.
In apartments, hotels and mansions
in some OF the most exclusive sections
of the city there is a cunning dread.
Crimes which have been done in the
past haunt the visions of rich men,
who take more trouble than ever now
to cover their tracks. They are the
gang leaders.
For Cicago has declared war upon
the gangster and the gunman.
Authorities Join Hands.
The county authorities under Pros
ecutor Grove and the city police I'M.
der Superintendent Collins have join
ed hands in a drive against the under
world kings and the men they boss.
we will seek an Indictment against
every gangster and gunman," Mr..
Grove has warned.
Hundreds OF arrests are being made.
Hard faced men and well-dressed men,
their only difference their personal ap-
pearance, are being questioned. Scores
are being indicted by the juries.
Chicago has new aristocracy. The
gunman or gangster is lawless, but
honored
Since the era of beer-running be-
gan gangsters and gunner have come
out into the open They throw little
or no secrecy about their operations,
except when they kill or are killed.
Then there is silence until the eye
'faf eye" policy is executed.
More Than Thousand Gangs.
Wealthy gangsters drive automo-
biles over the same boulevards with
millionaires and industrial chiefs; they
live in exclusive homes and have their
boxes at the theatres. When they die,
most frequently by assassination, they
are buried amid great pomp.
In survey OF gangland in Chicago
experts have found 1873 gangs with
probably $4,000 members Five hun
bred gangs, it is said, are composed
entirely OF boys, and one OF both boys
and girls less than p years old,
Beer running has become favorite
occupation of the gangsters. There are
rivals in this business the same as 9th
er businesses, but the only law is the
law of the gun and death.
The police, however, have determin-
ed to wipe out the gangs. The gang
sters and gunner are too bold; too
many policemen and citizens are be-
ing shot down. So the police are
hunting down every gangster and gum
man OF the great city.

"DRY" OFFICIALS
HAVE A BUSY YEAR
SEIZE 100000 GALLONS LIQ-
UOR, 500 SHIPS;16ooo AUTOS,
AND 10000 DISTILLERIES.

More than 500 ships and boats and
more than 5000 automobiles were
captured last year while engaged ii
illegal transportation of liquor, ac-
cording to official figures.
More than 10000 illicit distilleries
were uncovered Seizures of distilled
liquors amounted to more than 1,50O,
900 gallons, and more than 100000
gallons OF malt were taken.
Three groups Of federal officers are
engaged directly in the work of pro-
hibition enforcement They are the
coast guard, the prohibition unit and,
to a minor extent the customs ser
vice.
Coast Guard Active.
1t is now about year since the
coast guard was given the specific task
Of stopping liquor running between
rum row." off New York city and
other eastern cities, and the coast.
Since their campaign began they
have seized 280 rum runners" or
members of the mosquito feet Of mo-
torboats and launches engaged in land
ing liquor.
In shipping alone the value of the
seizures during that year amounted to
$15,250,000 Between 1000 and 1000
prisoners have been captured.
Records showing the amount of liq-
uor captured by the coast guard are
incomplete On store ships at the base
at New London, Conn, they have
about 10000 gallons of seized liquors,
including the last shipments which
battered Sir Frederick Hartweli's hope
of huge profits.
But coast guard officials point out
that their seizures represent only a
fraction OF the liquor which leaves the
ships side out on rum row" and new
er gets ashore. In virtually every case
when the chase gets hot the runner
heaveS his cargo overheard.
Bootlegger Losses Heavy.
A check kept>.by the prohibition
unit on all its seizures since the Vol
stead law became effective showed
that at the close OF the last fiscal year,
June 80, 1924, the total appraised value
of all property which had been seized
in the four years and half was $751;
63S,334.82 The estimated total 10 date
is put at approximately $47000,000.
Since Jan. II, 1920, the prohibition
unit has seized 4,564.257 gallons OF
distilled liquors and 20,971,5l3 gallons
of malt potables.

RECORD BREAKING
COLD GRIPS CITY
TEMPERATURE DROPS FIVE
DEGREES BELOW ZERO. DIE
FROM EXPOSURE.

BUENOS AIRES.-The Their
mometer, which has been phenome-
nally low during the past fortnight
throughout Argentina, took down
ward plunge to degrees below zero
last night June 21sD in Buenos Aires
and environs, causing extreme dis
comfort to the we'll to do and terrible
sufferings to the poor, three vagabonds
perishing of the cold during the night.
Frozen water tanks, from which loco
motives were unable to obtain water,
held up several early morning subur-
ban trains, the passengers OF which
were compelled to seek other means
of reaching the city.
Arctic Conditions Prevail.
Glacial winds accompanying the
fierce cold intensified the arctic con-
ditions in the regions in the far south,
where many people are reported to
have died of exposure or buried in i'm
mense snowdrifts in Chubut and Santa
Cruz. where heavy losses of live stock
are believed to be inevitable.
A lavish display of expensive furs,
which always is a noteworthy feature
of the Buenos Aires winter season,
was more marked than ever today,
which was the coolest registered in
the month of June in the past 20 years.
The fashionable shopping centers,
wherein women OF the moneyed class
es wearing silver fox and chinchilla
coats worth thousands of dollars each
mingled with their less wealthy sisters
sporting skunk, isealskin, etc, gave
the appearance OF an eskimo invasion.
Such cold weather in summer was
never before known.

TREND OF LABOR away
FROM UNITED STATES
WORKERS GOING OUT OF THE
COUNTRY EXCEEDED BY 16,-
s42 THOSE COMING IN.
A DECLINE In OTHER CLASSES
Total immigration Decreased TIA Per
Cent in Last Ten Months. Has Had
An Effect on Wages, Which Have
Increased 116 Per Cent.


The trend of labor has been away
from the United States instead of to-
ward it since the 2 per cent quota law
went into effect last July, according
to an analysis of the National Indus
trial Conference Board just made pub
lie.
The analysis shows that from July,
1924, to April, 1925, there were 27,90S
common laborers admitted. as compar
ed with 97,886 during the correspond
ing period of the year before. This
decrease becomes an actual deficit
when the figures in regard to those
leaving the country are considered
The fugres for the period from July,
1924, 70 April, 1925, show that 44,750
laborers left the country. This makes
deficit OF 1882 for the ten months
since the operation of the new immi-
grafton law
Total immigration.
A decrease of 71.4 per cent is shown
in net immigration of all classes from
last July to April, as compared with
the figures for the corresponding pc
riod a year before. During the ten
months under the new quota law
total OF 242,955 persons were admitted
as against 637,602 during the CORE
spending period the year before.
Departure from last July to April
totaled 78,57S, as compared with o.,
824 from July, 1923, to April, 1924.
The net immigration total during the
last ten months was 164,387 as COM
pared with 574,274 during the CORE
spending ten months prior to the new
quota law
Effect on Wages.
while the ultimate effect OF the
new quota law at this time cannot be
determined" the report states, the
scaling down OF immigration to about
fifth OF what it was before the war
has the immediate effect of stabihzing
the growth OF our population, with
the attending result OF sustained
high wage level. Actual money wages
in industry today are Ito per cent
above what they were before the war.
ALLOWING for the decline in the pur-
chasing power OF the dollar, and as
Stunning that the same standard OF liv-
ing prevailed as existed in 1914 the
wage Garner today is about 50 per
cent better off, as regards real wages,
than he was at the peak OF the wage
level of 1920"

Official Paper Of GaIlatin County

in their advertising literature that the cities of
the Pacific are young giants awakening to the
possibilities of a vast trade with the Orient" etc,
etc. Surely Montana interests and the interests
of the Pacific coast must benefit. by this export
rate and conversely they must suffer if it is
cancelled.
&, If there is a valid reason why Montana farmers
should have no competition among buyers of
their high quality wheat, surely we all want to
know that reason. The tariff of around 42c a
bushel practically walls out the high gluten con-
tent wheat of Canada. The millers of Minneapolis
and the millers Of the Pacific coast must buy a
great deal of this Montana high gluten content
wheat in order to manufacture a good quality Of
flour for domestic and export consumption. The
competition is bound to grow keener with the
advancing years, as the older sections continue to
produce a wheat of lessening gluten content. Why
stifle this competition by taking away from the
Pacific coast mills the advantage of the export
rate?
It is true that the railways derive a little more
revenue from the hauling of grain to the Min
~neapolis market than they, do from hauling tC
Pacific coast points, but that could not be put
forth as a valid reason for depriving Montana
farmers of the advantages of a competitive mar
ket.
We want to hear the railway side of the matter
and it will be received with an open mind w
are assuming that they would not wish to do
thing that would retard the development of tn
Pacific Northwest.

THE AMERICAN LEGION ENDOWMENT
FUND

A nationwide campaign for the purpose of
raising $4,000 0 to establish a fund, the income
from which will be used in phases of the great
veteran relief problem which federal legislation
and federal moneys cannot reach, is now under
way.
The plan was originated by the American
Legion and the campaign is being conducted by
that organization, which has named a committee
in each state to carry on the work.
Montana's quota is only $4,000, or about six
cents per capita.
The money itself will not be spent-it is a
trust fund and only the interest will be used.
Hence a gift to this fund will be perpetual.
The American Legion, in formulating this plan
and carrying on the work, is doing something OF
permanent and lasting good. The leaders are
sincere men and they are looking forward to big
ger things for the orphans of disabled veterans
and for those veterans and their families who nov
have no means and can get no assistance from thu
federal agencies, particularly orphans of veterans
who have died since the war.
The Montana campaign has been well organizes
and officials of the American Legion of MOntan
are confident that it will be brought tO<an earl
and satisfactory conclusion.
During the war and since the war Montan
responded 100 percent and over to every call 70
men or money and this state will answer tn
Legion's call in the same generous manner.

GOING TO IT IN MONTANA
(The Montana Trade Journal

The Montana Trade JournaD
The indor1itable energy and never-say die spirit
the people of Montana is being recognized over
the entire country and it is doing more to bring
this state back to its rightful level than snything
else, perhaps.
True the showing made by the state in 1924 has
had a great bearing in the matter of enhancing
it's standing but the people are the thing.
It is true. Montanans are hard to kin off. If
they had been easy marks for the shafts of adj
versity the state would now be like unto a deserted
village.
Every reader of the Trade Journal knows what
the Wall Street Journal is. They know that is a
financial newspaper of the very widest circulation
throughout the entire United States. Hence they
will realize that the following excerpt from that
paper, which appeared recently in its Broad
Street Gossip" goes to all part of the country and
will be read by business men. Under the head,
Going To It" the Journal says:
eff all the states of the northwest show the
same aggressiveness in the matter of develop
ment as Montana, there viii be no more receiver
ships for the railroads operating in that section
of the country. The soil is the basis of all wealth
and Montana as well as other states in the north
west have the right kind of soil. That the rail
roads are only too willing to cooperate with the
northwestern states is evident from q bulletin
issued by Lauzier, Walcott & Co., of Butte which
says that Sin order to encourage the dairying in
dustry in Montana the railroads viii transpora
!, dairy cattle from Minnesota to that state at
reduction of Is per cent Of the former freigh
rate" It is also noted by the bulletin that casI
received from srops in Montana in 1924 wa
S74,367, OOO against s46,784,OOO in 1923. Averag
wage Of farm labor was S48 a month with boarl
against S3S in 1910. Final figures for the Nor
tana wool production in 1924 are 19,316,O0
pounds, Montana ranking third in the Unite
States"

THE CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING CAMPS il

Thousands of young men are preparing to at
tend the citizens military training camps this
summer.
Many of them have attended one or two camps
before, so that the experience will not be new to
them, but for perhaps half of the young men now
looking forward to the camps, it will be a new
and novel thing.
These camps were brought about as a result OF
the work of Theodore Roosevelt, General Leonard
Wood, and other forwardlOoking Americans, who
foresaw our entrance into the World war and re-
allied our pitiful state of unpreparedness.
Fathering the "Plattsburg idea" they gave a
few men training III camps in the eastern states
which showed the powers that were how to secure
the thousands of young officers needed when we
entered the conflict.
Since the war training camps have been held
each summer at which young men are given a
months instruction in military matters, fitting
them to receive commissions in the officers re-
serve corps at the end of the three years course
Those who are so fortunate as to attend these
camps not only receive military training; they
are given instruction in athletics, learn how tC
live in camp and by mingling with others from
distant states and from remote sections of then
own commemorative acquire a much broader out
look upon life than they ever had before.
This last is probably one of the most important
results of the G. M. T. G. It makes for better
citizenship among it's students.
