FUND rs
FOR ROAD
WORK THIS SPRING

To provide for necessary road
work in the county this spring,
the commissioners in their regu-
lar meeting this week created an
emergency fund of $4,000, part of
which is to defray cost of work
recently done at the mouth of Red
Lodge creek.
At the place where Red Lodge
creek enters Rock creek, near
Boyd, the stream had moved from
its regular channel, necessitating
rip-rapping.
Trouble was also caused by
Rock creek at the bridge near
Mount Aqua, and at the bridge
just east of Joliet. At Joliet a
crew of men spent six days in rip
rapping the channel, and for the
past week the county power SHOW
ell has been used to divert the
stream into its regular channel.

DISTRICT COURT
CONSIDERS LAND.
WATER DISPUTES
Stock Man Brings Suit For
Sale Price of Sheep;
Two Divorces

Two disputes over irrigation
water, one over land, and a couple
of divorce suits were heard in the
district court this week, presided
over by Judge R. c. Stong of Bill
lings.
Before adjournment Tuesday,
the court received testimony from
both sides in the case of the Bart
lett Canal company against the
Last Chance Ditch company, in
which plaintiffs charge interfer-
ence with the operation of their
irrigation ditch system.
Evelyn Havely of Basin, Wyo.,
was granted a divorce from Luth-
er E. Havely. A decree was also
signed dissolving the marriage of
Johnnie Arnold of Red Lodge and
Charles R. Arnold of Billings, who
we're married at Billings, Febru-
airy 10, 1927.
Testimony and findings in the
case of William Robinson and
others against Grace E. Stapleton
and others were submitted to the
court Thursday. Plaintiffs in this
matter had purchased land from
the defendant in 1920, one acre of
the area having been previously
decided to school district No. Is.
Since the Sunnyside schoolhouse
was moved four years ago, there
has been some question as to the
ownership of the acre formerly
used by the school district. Plain
tiffs, William, Robert, John and
Jeffery Robinson, desire to estab-
lish their claim to the land.
Friday the court heard the suit
of A. O. Clippenger against the

the Patterson company, on which
ne wants settlement. Testimony
was heard and the defendants re-
quest for findings submitted to
the court.
Three actions by county banks
against Carbon county, filed in
the nature of protests against
were dismissed on motions
of the plaintiffs. Recent decision
by the state supreme court in re-
gard to the matter at issue caused
the Meyer & Chapman State bank,
the United States National bank,
and the Edgar State bank to with
draw their suits.
A decree of foreclosure was
in the case of j. w. Chap
man against Ray G. Watkins and
others.

berg complained that he was be-
deprived of the lawful share of
irrigation water for his west
bench farm. Three witnesses for
plaintiff were heard Saturday,
although their testimony was not
considered as evidence, as the is

NATIONAL
AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Just how far the present con-
gress, and especially the senate,
which is not bound by iron clad
rules as is the house, intends to
go in comforting dictatorial pow
ers on the president, will probably
be disclosed in the not-distant fu-
ture. Such powers were given to
Mr.. Roosevelt in the matter of
budget balancing and reorganiza-
ton of the government, because it
was generally realized by Republi-
cans and Democrats alike that a
crisis had arisen and the job could
be only done by the chief xec
tive. President Hoover had sought
the right to reorganize the gov
eminent but was blocked by a
Democratic congress.
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1933-04-05

But now we are told there is to
be another request for a grant of
authority to the president by con-
gress, and especially by the sem
ate. 1t was announced the other
day by the state department that
congressional authority would be
sought by the president before he
started out on the more or less
long and winding road of negoti-
ating trade treaties. The reason
for this was said to be that Eu-
ropean nations do not like the idea
of making negotiations with the
executive arm of our government
when they know that the agree
ment is apt to be upset because
the senate fails to ratify it. In
this respect it was pointed out
that after President Wilson had
gone to France and taken part in
the negotiation of the Treaty of
Versailles and of the League Of
Nations, the senate refused to
ratify the document and after
ward negotiated a separate treaty
with the defeated powers. The
European powers, it is said, felt
that they had bought a pig in a
poke" because the senate refused
to ratify what President Wilson
had agreed to.
Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1933-04-05

1t is true that European polite
ians were very critical Of this ac-
ton of the senate for many years
~afterward, and that they do not
yet like our method of negotiating
international agreements, through
the president with the advice and
consent of the senate as provided
foA by the constitution. But it
must be remembered hat at the
time of the Versailles negotiations,
the powers of Europe had ample
notice that the senate, as repre-
sentative of the American people
was not in accord with Mr.. Will
sons ideas of putting u country
into the League of Nations. So
they really had no cause for COM
plant. The fact is hat the Eu-
ropean nations conduct their trea-
ties through representatives ac-
credited to the government in
power and the people are never
consulted about the merits or de-
fects Of the treaties. Europe is
unable therefore to understand our
constitutional provision for the
ratification by the senate, and in
dependent arm of the government,
responsible, not to the president,
or the secretary of state, but to
the American people.
The argument hat the presi-
dent is always handicapped in
treaty making because the senate
is apt to upset the pact will not
hold water. There is never any
misrepresentation, when the negot-
iation of an international pact is
in progress, as to how the Ameri-
can senate stands on the project.
The senators of all political part
les at such critical times do not
hesitate to express their opinion
either at the White house or on
the floor of the senate. If the
president takes the wishes of the
senate, as representatives of the
people of various states, into con-
sideration-and there is no reason
to believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not do so-then there need
be no hesitation or embarrass-
ment about foreign negotiations
as additionally conducted.
The senate has always been
jealous Of its treaty control pow
err and there is no reason to be-
lieve that it will now surrender
any constitutional rights. There
will be no crisis like the banking
situation to be dealt with when
these international negotiations
are taken up, and there will be
plenty of time for discussion and
consultation with congress. At
any rate, this ultra-modern tend
ency Of clothing the chief execu-
tive with d~ictatorial powers will
receive a real test when the pro-
posal outlined above comes up in
the senate, if it ever does come up.

Appeal to All State Fedora
tons and City Central
Labor Unions

Greetings:
The Enamel and Radiator Plants of
the Richmond Radiator Company, sit
uated at Uniontown, Pa, have, in the
last past three years, imposed upon
their employees treatment of an I'M
bearable and oppressive character.
In the early part Of February, 1888,
the working conditions were so acute
and oppressive that the employees
were impelled to seek means to stem
the Company's inhumane and unjust
treatment. The course pursued by
the employees was c~ommendable.
They organized and applied to the
international Brotherhood of Foundry
Employees for a charter. A charter
was granted to them under the name
of Foundry Employees Local Union
No. 65. Under this banner the or
ganization of the employees became
firm and aggressive.
In a few months thereafter, the
Company, r%esenting the pressure of
the employees for humane working
conditions and a living wage, inaug-
urated a campaign aimed at the de-
struction of the local union. The
officers and many members of the
local were discharged without cause.
Others were threatened with dismiss
sal unless their membership was
withdrawn from the local. The con-
duct of the Company was in fact a
Lock Out" To check this conduct
the Local declared and ,ordered a
strike call to all employees.
The Company answered the strike
call with tactes more %inhumane, OPP
pressive and unjust than any employ
ed by them. Members of the local
were falsely arrested and imprison-
ed under false informations and war
rants prompted by instructed COM
pany officials. Bombs were planted
by company stools and blamed on
striking employees. Agents deputiz-
ed by the Sheriff of Fayette County
at the instance of the company and
paid by it, overran the City of Union
town for "scabs" to replace the strik-
ing employees. Men who had not re-
ceived their final citizenship papers
were threatened with Jail and depor-
tation. If it be lawful for the Com
pany to destroy union labor by these
tactics, it follows that union labor
may lawfully use the same tactics to
defend itself.

WAGE RATES AT MUSCLE SHOALS

The representatives of the American Federation of La
Dor were on the job to protect wage standards when the
Military Affairs Committee of the House of Representa-
tives was drafting the bill setting up the Tennessee Val
ley Authority to administer the extensive projects coupled
with Muscle Shoals properties.
Legislative representatives of the Federation persuad-
ed the committee to include the following wage pro-
vision in the measure:
THAT all contracts to which the Authority is a party
and which require the employment of laborers and
mechanics in the construction, alteration, maintenance,
and or repair Of buildings, dams, locks or other prof.
ects shall contain a provision that not less than the
prevailing rate of wages for work of a similar nature
prevailing in the vicinity shall be paid to such labor
es or mechanics.
in the event any dispute arises as to what are the
prevailing rates of wages, the question shall be refer
red to the Secretary of Labor for determination, and
his decision shall be final. In the determination of
such prevailing rate or rates, due regard shall be given
to those rates which have been secured through col
lective agreement by representatives of employers and
employees.
"Where such work as is described in the two pre-
ceding paragraphs is done directly by the Authority
the prevailing rate Of wages shall be paid in the same
manner as though such work had been let by contract"
These securities for labor were adopted by the House
of Representatives and will undoubtedly be maintained
for all of the Tennessee Valley projects in the final ac-
ton of both the House and the Senate on the measure.

Dear Mr.. Demel:
We have carefully read your letter
of the oath inst. regarding Section
of Chapter 80, Laws of 1888, and en-
tirely agree with the conclusion you
have reached, namely, that the
statute is valid.
Courts generally recognize the
right Of the law-making body to pass
measures, under the police powers Of
the state, limiting the hours of labor
in certain industries. Such legisla-
ton has for its object the protection
of the health, or the promotion Of
the safety, or both, of the employee,
and the humane feeling and economic
interest back of it are altogether
laudable. AS was well said by a dis
tinguished jurist some years ago;
"The dangers to a man while work
ing should be reduced to a minimum;
the conditions under which he labors
so far as possible should be con-
ducive to health and comfort. In
tensive work of either mind or body,
or both, should not be continued be-
yond his powers" court of Indus
