In the winter, all these toilets
are out of order. The pipes and the
water apparatus freeze and burst,
filling the toilets with dirt and ice.
Dark Rooms.
The kitchen has a black sink, for
cold water only. There is no bath,
and the workers must use the wash
tub as a bath. The rooms are not
painted. The rooms are so dark,
the workers have to keep the gas
light burning all day.
Only One Window.
There is one window facing a
brick wall air shaft. The bed rooms
have no windows. The children
are pale, for lack of air. No sun
shine can reach these tuberculosis
breeding rooms. Plaster is always
falling from the ceilings. The land
lord will never fix anything until the
old tenant moves, and will paint the
rooms to get a new tenant for
higher rent. After two weeks the
rooms looks the same as before, for
they paint them with water, not
paint.

lord will put them out. The Negro
workers also pay very high rent.

halls are swept once a week. The
landlords make more money.
Workers Must Act.
Do you, fellow workers, think we
can bring up healthy children in
such houses? And when we come
home from our slavery we have no

Postmaster Kedzie Is
Witness in Forgery Case

Postmaster M. K Kedzie was called
to Great Falls this week as witness
in federal court against one, Dan
Reagon, who is alleged to have forged
the name of r. ID. Klum to some
posboffice money orders and to have
cashed them.
Recently man giving his name
as r. d. Klum purchased certain
money orders in the eastern part of
the state and registered them to Troy
Montana. According to the contention
of the postoffice authorities, Reagon
learned of this in some way, appeared
at Troy and claimed the registered
mail, signing Klum's name upon the
delivery of the mail. Gaining posses
sion of the money orders, he then
came to Libby and made application
to cash them. He posed as a deaf
mute and was very good actor, says
Postmaster Kedzie. 1t was during the
time of the forest fires and the town
was full of strange men fighting fires
in the district and Kedzie~ cashed the
orders. Later it developed that the
man who presented the money orders
here was not the lawful owner, so it is
alleged. He was finally arrested in
Seattle, and must answer to two
charges in federal court, forgery and
unlawful impersonation OF another
person.

New Pump For
Fire Department

Last Sunday the fire department,
under the direction of Fire Chief Hoff-
man, tried out new pump the de-
partment has recently equipped in
accordance with plans advanced by
Chief Hoffman. A centrifugal pump
was purchased and mounted on a
Dodge auto chassis and connected with
the auto motor. Vents from the pump
are arranged so that fire hose can
be attached thereto, while the suction,
or feed pipe, can be dropped into any
convenient stream, irrigation ditch,
well, or other body of water. In the
test Sunday the pump delivered $50
gallon per minute and maintained a
pressure of 100 pounds at the noz-
zle. The test was made just below
the county bridge with water pumped
from the river.
Chief Hoffman is very we'll salts
fled with the new addition to the fire
fighting equipment qf the depart
ment He states that in case asgrass
or brush fire is threatening the town
that the pump might prove of great
value and that it might frequently
prove its worth many times over in
fighting fires in property just out
side the city limits. The machine is
said to have thrown a fine stream
