GOLD MINING is CITED
AS RELIEF ITEM

+. c. Kuencer, mining engineer of
Los Angeles, who is spending some
time in the Great Falls area in the
interest of an eastern mining company,
told the Cosmopolitan club Wednesday
noon that he never before saw so many
natural resources as Montana possesses.
In his opinion 5000 unemployed men
could be turned into the gold mining
areas of the state with the assurance
of making a living
Mr.. Kuencer told of 5000 unem-
ployed men being instructed by the
state of Colorado to pan for gold and
they are now making from 81 to 81 a
day. The property was made avail
able by the state to relieve the I'M
employment situation. Gold mining
made Colorado and is now saving it,
the engineer stated. Mr.. Kuencer said
the gold found in Montana runs high
and takes less milling than that found
in Arizona, where he has been work
ing.-Great Falls Tribune.

TO OFFER FIVE-DAY
WEEK BILLS

New York City ILNS)-Repre-
sentative Fiorello H. La Guardia, in
a radio address here, announced that
ne and other progressives in ron
gress would introduce bills they felt
would end the business depression
and its consequent unemployment.
One of the bills would call for a
five-day week on all building con-
struction under government contracts,
close all banks affiliated with the
federal reserve system, the post
offices and customs houses of the
country on Saturdays and place all
railroad employees on a five-day basis
THE government must also step
in Immediately and by direct appro-
priation supplement the aid now be-
ing given by state and municipal
sources, as well as private charity
continued La Guardia. "In this in
stance the powers of congress are
limited, but congress has wide pow
ers in protecting the public health
and jurisdiction over interstate and
foreign commerce. No one can deny
that the lack of proper and sufficient
nourishment, and the need of proper
clothing during the severe months of
the winter will have tendency to
impair the public health"

FIVE-DAY WEEK
MAKES GAINS

Washington. - Statistics indicate
continued growth of the five-day
week, according to the annual report
of Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor.
In quite large number of cities
the report says, the five-day week has
been adopted by all the building
trades, and, according to incomplete
reports, there appeared to have been
at least 425,209 building trades work
ers on this basis at the close of 1880.
Cost-of Living Data Abused
Commissioners Stewart reiterated a
recommendation for new family
budget survey to supplant one made
in 1918, which is still used as basis
for cost and standard of living fig
ures.
Perhaps no more widespread
abuse of the bureaus figures is to be
found in any direction than in this
matter of cost of living" he said.
ITO use the available data as an
argument for the reduction of wages
would be to throw back the standard
of living 13 years and eliminate all
the progress that has been made in
home comforts during that time"

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Governor Pinchot

law without his signature. The at

ion that the measure was unconsti-
tutional The legislature refused to
enact the governors proposed meas
ures, which would have provided,
within constitutional limits, about
$40,000,000 for unemployment relief.
81 cannot sign this bill because it
is not fit to be signed" Governor
Pinchot said. "But / cannot veto this
bill because there is a chance, how
ever remote, that it might be held
constitutional and so give some re-
lief to the unemployed and save the
commonwealth from the disgrace of
refusing to help her people. cannot
destroy that chance"

PRINTING UNIONS
Move to Bar Prison Con.
tract in Texas

Austin, Tex (ILNS)-Suit has
been filed in Travis county district
court to enjoin the board of control
and Texas state prison officials from
entering into contracts with the
prison printing plant at Huntsville
for state printing. Plaintiffs are
H. B. McGann, of Harris county, Will
liam B. Arnold, of Bexar county;
w. N. Strong, John F. Callan, Will
liam Milligan, John L. Hauswald and
others, as officers, agents and men,
bers of the Texas Allied Printing
Trades Council.
1t was alleged that the defendants
had entered into certain contracts
with the Item Printing Company of
Huntsville, to furnish printing for
for various Texas state institutions,
and that it was contemplated the
work should be done by prisoners
confined behind the walls of the peni-
tentiary. 1t was claimed that print
ing business had been established
within the walls for the purpose of
doing the work.
Plaintiffs alleged that the state
constitution stipulates that all print
ing, except such as may be done at
the deaf and dumb asylum, shall be
furnished and done under contract.
Complaint was made that there is
not printed on each article printed
under terms of the contract words
that it constitutes prison made
goods, as is required by state law.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-"Mod-
ification of the Volstead act in this
session of congress is the demand Of
organized labor, and no movement
in the direction of referendum will
be allowed to obscure or delay that
paramount ISSUE"
That was the declaration Of Mat
thew Woll, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor and
president of labor's national commit
tee for modification of the Volstead
act, addressing the women's national
prohibition reform committee of the
District of Columbia.
Mr.. Woll declared that "labor does
not oppose referendum. On the con-
trary, it favors every public express
sion, knowing that the people but
need an opportunity to speak. Labor
knows, moreover, that two-thirds of
the registered voters of the country
favor modification. But we cannot
accept proposal for referendum
at some unsettled future date as q
substitute for action now by congress
in pursuit of it's duty.
Question Up to Congress
"The question of modification is
clearly up to congress. Congress
wrote into the law the present def
milton of Intoxicating liquors. The
duty and the responsibility to change
that definition in accordance with in
telligent and proper standards cannot
be escaped. Congress cannot be allow

ed to escape its plain duty behind the
cloud of new issue, no matter how
valid that issue may be on it's own
merits. Our campaign is for modifi-
cation now by the body that gave US
the present impossible, improper and
illogical definition, with it's fruit of
gangsterism, corruption and moral
decay on every hand"
Mr.. Woll continuing, said:
"The outstanding problem confront
ing the American people today is to
provide ways and means to eliminate
the forced and unwarranted unem-
ployment of more than seven millions
Of our people.
To Re-establish Sanity
"a second, and equally moral prob
lem, is to re-establish sanity and de-
cency by eliminating the hypocrisy
wherein the congress has declared
that brewed beverages containing
more than one-half Of one per cent
alcohol are Intoxicating. The enact
ment of this intolerant and absolutely
untrue declaration into law has re-
suited in the creation of no less than
one hundred speak-easies where but
one saloon formerly existed-the
reign Of gangsters-the uneasiness,
the ruination of thousands of boys
and girls, who, in their quest for an
easy life, fall easy prey for the lowest
elements among our people-the un-
easiness and unrest of thousands of
parents who have but little knowl-
edge of what their boys and girls are
doing when not in their own homes" ;"

COMMITTEE URGES
INDUSTRY STATE
PENSION PROGRAM
N. Y. Building Congress
Group Recommends Plan
Supported Jointly by En-
ployes, Employers, State.

New York City (ILNS)-An indus
try-state pension plan is advocated in
the report Of the pension committee
of the New York Building Congress,
made to the executive committee of
that organization after a study ex-
tending over year and half, and
including pensions plans in Europe
and America, both state and private.
The committee finds that some kind
of pension plan is socially desirable
and recommends a compulsory con-
tributory plan in which employers,
employees and the state bear the cost
jointly. The report indicates sub
stantial increase in the number of
private pension plans adopted during
the last few years with a coverage in
cluding many thousands of employees
previously without eligibility to pen
sion benefits. But the committee
points out that unless every industry
and business, large and small, main
tains a compulsory plan, the state
will still be faced with the problem
of caring for large group of it's
superannuated workers.
On the other hand, an industry
state plan would permit complete
coverage of all attaining pension age
under terms that would meet the re-
quirements in administration, cost
and benefits which would be COM
mensurate with the needs Of any
particular industry and the state.
Actuarial data used in the prepara-
tion of the report were obtained from
two of the largest and most important
building trades unions in this vicinity
and on the basis Of this data the COM
mittee calculated that contributory
pension plan covering 175,000 build.
ing trades workers in the New York
metropolitan area, with a benefit OF
$500 per year at pension age of 65
would this year involve a contribu-
tion from employers of an amount
equal to slightly more than pei
cent of the gross income of the in
