LAUNDRY WORKERS IN CAMPAIGN

The Laundry Workers Union of Butte has been carrying on a I'M
paign for some time, to increase and stimulate the patronage of steam
laundries. Patronage of the steam laundres is such a deserving and
meritorious thing to do where an individual or business house must re-
duct a campaign. The men and women who ire dependent upon the
steam laundries for a living naturally look to the business houses which
they patronze, to send their laundry to the steam laundries.
A business house which will accept the patronage of a steam laundry
worker and then undermine that workers job by sending its laundry to a
non-union Chinese competitor can hardly expect to secure the business of
the laundry workers or the business of any of the members of organized
labor Strange a it may seem, there are individuals, who do not send
their laundry to the steam laundries Tor do they send it to a white woman
doing washing at home, but they do send their washing to places that tend
to destroy the standards of the white woman and the standards of the
workers in the steam laundries.
The Laundry Workers Union found it necessary to send out the fol-
lowing letter to several prominent persons, some of whom are running for
office and appealing for union votes, and to several large business houses:
Butte, Montana.
Dear Sir:
An extensive survey of the Laundry industry is being made in Silver
Bow County at the present time by the Laundry Workers. Industrial
Relief Association with a view of placing more of its idle members to
work in the Steam Laundry Plants of this city. During the years 1929
1880, three hundred of our members were working full time in the local
plants while at the present time, less than 12O of or members are m
ployed and are only working part time.
One of the outstanding causes of this condition, aside from the DEPRES-
SION, is the fact that there is about one half of the laundry work being
done by Chinese Laundris here in Silver Bow County which if sent to
the White Laundries, more people would be put to work and less people
would have to look to relief associations for charity.
The survey shows that YOU patronze a Chinese laundry and we are
asking you, in all fairness, to give your consideration to our present plight
that we in turn may increase the volume of business in or local plants
and put our unemployed back On the payroll.
The wages paid laundry help are spent in Butte and every payroll, large
or small helps Butte at all times and more especially at this time. We
re not mailing you this communication as a threat of a boycott or for
any reason whatsoever, other than to solicit your laundry work in order
to put idle members back to work.
"You make your living in Butte-wont you help others to do likewise 2"

Ball Players Salaries.

Loud walls are reaching the ears Of
the base ball public as the contracts for
1882 are received by the players and
cuts in salary are disclosed. The heaviest
cuts are those Of the higher paid stars.
One Of them, the redoubtable Babe"
Ruth, is sliced from $4,000 to q paltry
$4,000 Another, the once terrible
slugger Hack" Wilson, is staggered by
an even heavier cut, from something
like $4,000 to $7,5o0. Lesser figures in
the sporting picture are getting their
shocks in proportion and there is a
lively prospect of some protracted hold
outs as the Spring training season
approaches.
The players whose stipends are being
curtailed are contending that they
should not bear the brunt Of the depres-
sion as long as there is to be no
reduction in the entrance fees. The
magnates retort that there is no inten-
ton to lower the price Of tickets. The
players aver that there is no equity in
economies that hit them only. The
magnates answer that base ball is not
a diWdend-p paying business at the
present scale Of pay for the higher
grades OF performers, pointing to the
lessened public patronage in 1881 ano
TO the fact that very few, if any, OF
the clubs paid any dividends at the
close Of the season.
There will be but little compassion TO,
the high-paid players on the part O.
the contributors of gate receipts. A
feeling generally prevails that base bal
salaries have gone entirely too high
