Senator Norris appointed himself as
chairman of the subcommittee, which
will include Senator Black, Senator
Borah of Idaho, Senator Walsh of
Montana, and Senator Robinson of
Indiana.
Limited to Interstate Commerce.
While Senator Blacks resolution
would be limited to industries whose
products are shipped in interstate COM
merce, it is admitted that the thirty
hour week applied to this broad area
would undoubtedly have great effect in
industries whose products are sold ex-
clusively within the borders of a single
state.
Norris Predicts Long Hearings.
The basis of the subcommittee

the benefits of the thirty-hour week

NEW YORK-(FP)-The Music
Hall, 62OO-capacity show house, which
was touted on it's opening as the great
est theater in the world, becomes a
movie at the end of its first two
weeks of operation.
This is looked upon as acknowledge
ment of failure in the biggest venture
in John D. Rockefeller's Radio City.
With the change will come slashes in
admission prices which will make it
still more difficult to pay dividends
on the $8,000,000 investment. The
report that the smaller movie house,
the 100000 RKO-Roxy, was to
close have been denied.
S. L. Rothafel roxy has been
mysteriously missing since the the
aters opened and the report that he is
undergoing an operation is insisted
upon. Pres. M. II. Aylesworth of
RKO says that Roxy will come back
to the theaters in about a month, for
he is "a great guy, under CONTROL
Aylesworth indicated that the smaller
theater will give "shows and spec
tacles" although the policy seemed
not yet definite. Apparently plans
for the houses will be reversed and
the Rockefeller's $12,000,000 invest
ment was based on poor advice.
These blows at Rockefeller's pres
tige came on the very day on which
was announced the devastating fact
that his Chase National Bank had
failed in 1882 to going back more than

PR0GRESSVES AT HELENA EXPECT BIG BATTLE
Timely and Untimely
.O~ Observations -
THE DIPPY
By ADAM C~oALDIGGER

ONCE upon a time there lived a mar
- by the name of Tuberdub who
made his living by raising potatoes.
Every year he raised 300 bushels. One
hundred bushels he consumed himself.
One hundred he gave to a clothing
maker in exchange for clothing and
n hundred he gave to a tool maker
in exchange for tools.
Each knew what his needs were for
the coming year, and each produced
the purchasing power to fill his wants.
Thus supply and demand were beau
tifully balanced, and while there was
no superfluence of the means by which
these folks lived, neither was there
want, which is proven by the fact that
they lived and multiplied.
But one fatal day, Tuberdub was
smitten by a great passion to become
a Tuber kind. Said he: eff three hun
bred bushels per annum make me a
living, three thousand bushels viii
make me ten livings."
All of this was very foolish, of
course, because Tuberdub had only one
life to live and therefore only one liv-
ing to make. Nevertheless, he hus-
tied and hustled about, pitched in and
dug in, and what with rising with the
cock and going to bed with the chick
ms and scheming through the night
instead of sleeping, he succeeded in
raising 600 bushels of tubers that
year.
The clothing and tool makers of
the vicinity, however, could assimilate
only one hundred bushels of potatoes
in the course of n year and so Tu-
berdub was compelled to haul his sur
plus to the next township in the hope
of disposing of it to the clothing and
tool makers of that locality. But
they, too, could only consume the
tubers produced in their neighborhood
and SO Tuberdub was forced to cut

it was announced that Radio-Keith-
Orpheum (RKO) has no film with
which to open the discarded Music
Hall and that it was compelled to go

TECHNOCRACY

Continued from Last Week.
Since we've been told so many times
that the present depression is no more
severe than preceding depressions, and
that when we come out of it times will
be better than ever, it might not be
beside the point to glance at those
other depressions and figure out, if
possible, from them, the bright lights
in the prevailing gloom of today.
Until 1887 the United States was
an aggregation of local communities
each community depending upon it.

duction, its own laborers, its own
wage scale, its own market; but be-
cause of increased transportation ia
~cilities completed in that year, rail
roads, steamship routes, canals, turn
pike roads, the local communities were
welded into one great community. The
wholesaler put in mis- first appearance,
and producers fighting for his patron
age like Samson pulling down the tenn
pie, brought ruin upon their enemies
and upon themselves as well. Mass
production so far as the machinery of
the day would permit was practiced.
The system Of apprenticeships was
discontinued. Craft-labor was elimin-
ated and cut-throat competition on a
work-or-starve o both basis was SUBJ
stituted. Tough times ensued natural
ly and migrating westward finally
brought about the cure-with a reduc-
ton of labor hours from thirteen to
ten.
Today migra ting westward is block
ed by the Pacific Ocean, and some
other solution of our woes must be
evolved.
In 1873 a second depression halted
the activities Of the nation, and this
time the trouble was archaeological in
it's essense. Machines, not the auto
matte machines of today by any means.
but nevertheless machines that were a
great improvement on hand labor alb
sorbed trades man-power had monopo-
lized for centuries-barrel-making
shoe making, cigar rolling and many
others, and eliminating so many hui
man beings from industry that only
an expanding domestic commerce, an
ever increasing foreign commerce and
an aggressive policy on the part of
trade unions saved the day and once
again brought prosperity where pow
erty had seemed supreme.
Our domestic market today is over
expanded. Foreign markets r clos
ing their doors against us so far as
possible, and trade unions are facing
production on a scale never before an
ticipated. The building trades, for in

Organized Labor Backs Measure.
Senator Blacks resolution will have
the unqualified endorsement of organ
lied labor, which long has advocated
a shorter work day and week.
The American Federation of Labor
and other labor organizations of

this effort in recent years as a means
of spreading available work among

AS explained by Senator Norris, the
principal question ~revolves around ex-

lished its unquestioned right to con-
troll interstate commerce, the handling

the amount Of hours worked, or in
other words, a mar working half-time
would only receive half compensation
for his injuries. Attorney Dwyer, for
the A. c. M. Co. backed the bill at the
hearing. The bill was introduced by
Ralston of Glacier County. This bill
would be a great help to the A. G. M.
Co. in paying compensation to injured
miners. The bill is vicious in every
respect and the State Federation is
working for its defeat.
The Northern Pacific Railroad is
working hard to defeat the Bill that
extends the scope of the eight-hour
law to coal strip mining. At a time
when the world is talking of a six
hour day, the N. P.'s attitude is quite
ancient. The eight-hour day is as an
tiquated as the one-hoss shay and a
corporation with supposed intelligent
heads is fighting the e%ight-hour law
in a branch of its industry.

UNION MEMBERS TO BE

At a regular meeting of the Work

it was unanimously voted to throw
the support of the organization to the
regular advertisers of the Montana
Labor News.
More unions are expected to take
similar action in the immediate fu'

This action resulted from the polly
of those in charge of the Monta~a

the advertisements appearing in the
regular weekly issues Of the Montana
Labor News and to induce the mer-
chants to use these issues more ex-
tensively in the future.
