Seventy Mime Towns
Now Receive Power
From Big Company

The family of Montana towns
served by the Montana Power COM
pany has now grown to 20. Ennis
and LETTERS have been added. j.
Ryan Gaul, manager of the Butte
district, has returned from Ennis
where he formed the acquaintance
of new subscribers for light and
power.
1.-THE Ennis patrons are being con-
nected up rapidly. We expect to do a
large business in electric ranges in
Ennis" Mr.. Gaul said. Goal costs
SIS a ton. It is hauled in from Nor
ris. Electric ranges will show a
substantial saving on fuel at the
Ennis prices or even on fuel sold at
a much lower price.
The new line runs from the lower
Madison to the little town of LETTERS.
"The line is IL miles long" M.
E. Buck, general superintendent of
the Montana Power stated. "It was
built in part by the contributions
of the Ennis people and farmers
along the way-a sort of co-Opera-
tive undertaking."
Previous to the entry of the Mon
tana Power, Ennis and LETTERS de-
pended on the Delco lighting sys-
tenn. The cost of gasoline at a dis
lance from the railway is said to be
considerable. The Ennis people and
the farmers, footing up their costs,
decided that it would be economy
to help to build a power line to
bring in the Montana Power.
The people of Ennis and LETTERS,
as well as the farmers along the line,
are now receiving electric service al
the same rates as the people of Butte
and other cities in Montana. The
Montana Power, it is stated, has one
rate for the entire state.

omer. Nor did payment end with the mar
rage. When a white man married an In
dian woman, he was regarded as a bank
on which the relatives of the wife were
privileged to draw at any time. This often
led to complications, especially if the wife
was later repudiated, and the white man
married one Of his own race.
When going down the Missouri in the
early eighties, a ranch was pointed out to
men, where lived a white man with a
white wife, but who had formerly lived
with an Indian roman Every summer the
family Of the first wife persisted in coming
and setting up their tepees close to the
house Of the white wife, and claimed the
hospitality Of her husband for the entire
season. Baptiste had no such difficulty, as
he always remained true to Unami, his first
love.

There was much excitement in MilestOwn

ALL UNIONIzED
Chicago Council Makes
New Contract Clause

The Chicago Building Trades Coun-
Gil has submitted a uniform form of
contract to the employers for 1926,
containing the following clause rela-
tive to the employment of non-union
labor:
THAT building projects now in
course Of construction shall not be in
terrupted because the contractor or
contractors may be employing non
union men on the job, but If these un-
fair contractors take future contracts
with the intention of continuing to
employ non-union men in any building
trade, then the affiliated unions will
proceed in accordance with agree
ments which they have heretofore sub.
mitted to the contractors, to cover all
building where such contractor is now
employed.
'In case any contractor now en-
ploying non-union men desires to &C.
cept the agreements as submitted and
has in his employ mechanics who
qualify as competent, the local unions
will accept such mechanics as mem.
bers."a
This was taken as against the SO
called citizens committee" to enforce
the lands open-shop award, which P
F. Sullivan of the council states is
"an open-shop organization of bust
ness men, none Of whom are engaged
in the building industry" This organ
ization, he says, is demanding that
union workmen agree to work with
non-union men in affiliated building
trades.
The clause given above will go into
effect May 81, when most of the exist
ing contracts expire.
