agreed on the diagnosis. The symp- toms were plainly evident. Some- one gave the y0ungster some holi- day cheer and got him drunk. He was found helpless on the street and rushed to the hospital. Hc was turned over to a very sur- prised and irate father. It is be- lieved that the lad is recovering to- day from old fashioned home treatment, which is generally re- garded as painful, but effective.
 Tn another ward at the same time detectives visited John Do- bish, IT, who was picked up in q semi-conscious condition in front of the Boys Club building on Cottage Place. The lad had swal- lowed some poison. Prompt anti dotes administered on his arrival at the hospital offset the effects of the tablets the youngster had swallowed in a Respondent mood.
 The police became active in the case when a little girl informed the authorities that two men in q big car had put the lad In the door way and drove away. After an hour or two of questioning in which the youngster was reluctant to talk the police learned that he had informed the clerk that he wanted to poison dog. The clerk know. ing the boy unhesitatingly accom- modated him. After walking about the streets for awhile he swallowed the pills and became i'll. Detec- tives "Connie'.

Harry Calm, Owner and
Manager, C0hn's Depart
ment Store, zoos 18th
St. N. w.
About seven years ago
there came to Washing
ton young man y
years of age, with a de-
cidedly meager purse, and
a definite ambition to
open a department store
that would fill the needs
of the neighborhood. To-
day this young man.
Harry Calm, has a large
department store that has
not only weathered the
intervening years, but
has grown to proportions
far beyond his fondest
dream.
Ca hn's Department
Store. at zoos 14th St. N.
W., was started Decem-
ber IS, 1925, in it's pres
ent location, with only
about one-half the floor
space of $500 feet now
occupied. The first stock
was but small one.
Only a very few lines of
merchandise were repre-
>sented.
Gradually. year after
year, the store was ex-
panded. More floor space
was necessary for the
new stocks. Increased
stocks were necessary for
the new customers. The
history of this store is
one of progress since its
advent in 1925.
In the fall of 1880

BY SCRAPPINC
MACHINERY

Here and there contractors on
public works are opposing the lin
itations on the use of labor-displac-
ing machinery decreed by the off
Gals of certain states and local po-
litical jurisdictions for the purpose
of providing more work for the
jobless.
In Wisconsin the State Employ
ment Commission recently estab-
lished the policy Of having the max
imum amount of labor possible on
public works performed by hand
rather than machines. The Com
mission inserted the hand labor pro-
vision in its contracts, including the
unloading by hand of stone, gravel
and sand used in concrete construc-
ton.
In the state OF Washington the
State Grange and 500 members of
the Masonic organizations in Tacoma
went on record as favoring hand
labor, and the county commissioners
of Cowlitz county were reported as
favoring hand labor instead of ma
chimes in highway construction.
The action Of the State Grange,
Tacoma Masons, and Cowlitz county
commissioners drew the emphatic
opposition of the Northwest Con
tractors Association, an organiza-
ton of highway and public works
contractors in Washington, Idaho
and Montana. The object of the

small town, accustomed to sweeping
off the sidewalk in front of the store
every morning, combines that deli
cate h~esitancy and yet subtle eff
cheney in the handling of a broom.
Stand, character, occupation and
previous condition of servitude being
established, the only question re-
mains is, why did the man return
to the haunts of his primitive fore
bears? The answer to that is OBJ
vious. He lost his job on account Of
the over-production of drygoods, re-
sulting from the well-known applica-
ton of science to industry. Unable
to find other employment or cash
in his bonus, the bird departed to
this peach of a beach, taking the
broom with him as a visible evil
dence of the progress made in a
million years since his primitive an
cestors lived here.

We are erecting an addition to
our post office. This piece of con
struction was undertaken at this time
to bring money to Butte workers
and Butte business houses. But
what is happening? The contract
ors in charge of the construction of
this addition do not care to con
tribute to the welfare of Butte.
They have turned the post office
building into apartments and they
and their families live in the build
ing to escape paying rent in Butte.
We do not know how many are liv-
ing there as those on the job are
very reluctant in giving informa-
ton. We did notice that windows in
two sections were covered with lace
curtains and gave every evidence of
these sections being occupied. These
contractors are not here for only a
few months. The job is to take a
year and a half or more. This is
time enough to establish legal resi-
dence in the city. and persons living
here for hat length of time should
be contributing to the welfare of a
city whose protection and privileges
they enjoy.
We doubt whether the contract
for the addition to the post office
calls for free housing of contractors
in federal buildings. If not, what
right do these people have to live
in public buildings without the con-
sent of the owners, the public +?
Landlords and owners of property
for rent should investigate this. The
bricklayers, ironworkers and others
have to pay rent and taxes from
their daily wage, so why not the
contractor? What gives him rent
lodging privileges? Our govern
ment wouldn't allow the unemployed
veterans to occupy vacant federal
buildings, yet men with juicy con-
tracts occupy them without one word
of protest from our government. If
the post office is to be an apartment
house let the unemployed live there,
rent-free, and not well-paid contract
ors. Let the business men of Butte

Surplus of Labor Shown in Prac-
tically All Sections of State
During Month of July.
BY STEPHEN ELY.

General-A surplus of labor con-
tinued in practically all sections Of
the state during July. Coal mine
activities were entirely suspended.
While most of the sawr.i Ills and
logging camps operated on restrict
ed schedules, several remained closed.
Operations in the metalliferous
mines continued far below normal.
Meat-packing plants, flour mills, oil
refineries and other establishments
reported restricted operations. Tel
ephone construction in some sections
gave employment to a number Of
men. Railroad shop and maintenance
forces that were increased in June
were maintained. Highway construc-
ton continued to employ a consider
able force of laborers. No large
building projects were reported. The
recreational resorts provided work
for a number of men and women
The harvesting of hay and small
grains, the canning of fruits and
vegetables, and other farming ac-
tivities engaged many people.
Billings-Curtailed forces and re-
stricted schedules continued in prac-
tically all plants. The harvesting of
hay and small grains, irrigation
work, the picking of fruits and vege-
tables, the canning of pork and
beans and vegetables engaged many
people. A surplus of labor was APP

craftsmen.

Many skilled and unskilled workers

adjustments worked with reduced

provided employment to many crafts
men. A surplus of all classes of
labor remained.

RENT-D0DG|NG CONTRACTORS
POSTOFFICE CONTRACTORS
ESCAPE RENTS; TURN FEDERAL
BUILDING INTO APARTMENTS

There are over a hundred apartments and houses for
rem. in the city of Butte, besides innumerable rooms. One
large hotel is forced to close its doors because of a lack
of patronage. The owners of these buildings are tax
payers who must pay taxes on these buildings, whether
or not they are vacant. The taxes from these buildings
keep up our fire and police departments, pave streets,
keep Butte in a sanitary condition, keep our schools open,
and also erect public buildings for the use of the public.
The owners Of these vacant houses and apartments must
pay taxes from their savings or have their properties con-
fiscated for non-payment of taxes. The people Of Butte
should be interested in seeing that these vacant houses
are occupied, for rents mean schools and all that we deem
necessary for a decent standard of living. In spite of the
number of vacant houses, apartments, flats, rooms and
hotels, a strange thing is happening in our city.
