Helena .-Withmore than half its
session passed into history, the 10th
Montana assembly faces four weeks
of hard work to complete its biennial
deliberations.
A comparison Of the records of
this and preceding legislatures shows
q striking decrease in the number of
bill so far. Relatively few have been
disposed of thus far and many of
those remaining promise long discus
sion.
The senate, with few bills to con-
slider, appears to have its work well
in hand So, for that matter, has the
house, but most of the outstanding
proposals for new legislation have
originated in the house and, even
should they never reach the senate,
are bound to take much time before
final disposition.
Monday the house plans to take
up the building and loan code, dis
cussion of which has been postponed
from time to time though it was one
of the first bills to be introduced. II
+ is on general orders without any
committee recommendation so thai
there is no indication as to what sup
port it will command. The measure
IS understood to be favored general

MINERS BOOST LEWIS
TO $4,000; GREEN
ROASTS THE REDS

By Harvey O'COnnOr, Federated press

ISIS wage as president of the United
Mine Workers was raised from S.
90 year to $4,000 by the convention
after protracted debate nearly rival
ing the uproar over giving the inter
national executive board unlimited
power to levy assessments. Vice
Pres. Philip Murray and Sec-treas.
Thomas Kennedy are boosted from
$1,000 a year to $4,000 each. In a
stiff fight many delegates joined
the progressives in holding that with
serious organization problems to be
met, the pay boosts to Lewis and the
others are not justified.
Already" cried John Hindmarsh
of Illinois, "the presidents salary IS
times the wages of a working min
or. This so per cent increase coupled
with unlimited power to the inter1la-
tional executive board to levy assess
ments on the members'will be resent
ed by the rank and file"

name of Ruffcorn connected with

duced by Ruffcorn and others, and

Reads Its History
Senator Stewart read the complete
history of the bill from both houses
and senate journal, showing that II
had been passed and signed by the
governor. Then he picked up a copy
OF the 1925 session laws and read the
law showing that the present bill
was identical in every feature.
Il hope that the senate can cover
up its ignorance and blind folly IN
allowing the adroit maneuvering OF
the senator from Valley to get this
Dill through the body
Senator Larson of Teton, opened
the subject when he moved to ask the
house to return S. B. II, which had
been passed, so that its head could
be chopped off.

from Deer Lodge was correct when
he stated in committee of the whole
that the bill had no business on the

lines demand that the commercial and
representatives of Russia
be given their passports. The Soviet
is conveniently blamed
for the militancy of the Cantonese
government and the "unyielding atti-
tude" of Eugene Chen, the foreign
minister. The Communist press points
out that the butchering of innocent
and unarmed Chinese workers by
British armed forces and the general
brutal and greedy policy of the i'm
perialist power is responsible for the
harvest of hate that is now being
reaped by the British government.
Churchill Sings Mud.
Churchill continues to hurl insults

One Bank Bill Killed
Mullholland of Silver Bow had a
bill to insure bank deposits come up
for discussion last Monday morning
after the Banking committee return

Budas of Carbon, speaking for the
subcommittee which considered the
bill. said that the bill had been gone
over carefully and that it appeared
to be absolutely unavoidable" He
said that the bill also would fix the
minimum and maximum rates Of in
terest that could be paid by a bank.
Budas branded the measure as being
akin to the bank depsit guarantee
plan.
Warren of Big Horn saw no merit
in the bill, and in his opinion depOs-
itors would object to paying the in
surance premium proposed as protec-
ton of the deposit against loss.
