right as capital. Labor has the right
to organize into associations or un-

Dor and set wage scales. Under this
act no employer dare fire or refuse to
hire a member of the union. If an
employer does this, the worker has

wording of the act shows that A. F. of

On Tuesday of last week, the great
est instrument toward Industrial Re-
covery was put into effect when the
Senate adopted the National Indus
trial Recovery Act. This act seeks to
stabilize all prices of commodities and
Industrial products and also seeks to
eliminate all unfair competition in in
dustry by regulating wages and hours
of labor, in order that costs of pro-
duction might be equalized. With this
act in operation sweat-shops and
cheap labor will be a thing of the
past. Industries will band together in
associations in order to set prices. In
dustries in the Association will then
be licensed by the government and in
this way p%rice-cutting will be impos-
sible. Any industry found cutting
prices will have its license revoked,
making it impossible to continue OPP

ONLYPROTECTION THE MINERS HAVE RE-
CEIVED THEY OWE TO ORGANIZED La
Dor; ORGANIZED LABOR HAS FOUGHT
FOR LEGISLATION FOR MINERS AND PAID
COST OF FIGHT; HAS SECURED LEGAL
DECISIONS FOR AID OF MINERS.

With the adoption of the National
Recovery Act, the question arises as
to whether or not Butte miners should
join a union; should they join a un-
ion affiliated with the A. F. Of L. or
should they organize a company un-
ion?
First of all, should the miners or
gained? Miners are the poorest paid
workers in the City of Butte, or in
Silver Bow County and have the most
dangerous occupation in the county,
They have teen cut at will by the cor
poration and have received mose dras-
tic and frequent cuts than any other
workers in the County. Why? Be
cause they have been unorganized and
unable, through lack of organized
strength to fight their battles. In
the days, when the miners of Butte
were organized, such cuts would not
have been made effective without a
Montana labor news., 1933-06-22

struggle. In the days of the Miners
Union, the miner was one of the high
est paid workers in the county. A
historical survey of mining wages in
Butte is the best answer to the ques-
ton as to whether or not miners
should organize.
In the second place, should the
miners of Butte join an A. F. of l..
union? Every miner remembers the
fight made in the last legislature to
reduce compensation to a part-time
basis. The Compensation was not cut
because A. F. of L. unions fought the
fight in behalf of the miners and foot
ed the bill. Were ii not for the efforts
put forth by the A. f. of L.. unions
the compensation would have been cut
The employer wanted it cut, thinking
merely of the miner in terms of dol
lars and cents rather than in terms of
humanity and suffering. The organ

ton unless the workers are organized
to negotiate conditions and wages.
Now is the time to organize. Your
government requests it. Your saliva
ton depends upon it. The return to
normally in industry depends upon il.
You are protected by the government
in organizing. No longer can you be
fired or refused a job because you
belong to a labor organization. Any
employer who does it has this penal
ty imposed him: The revOking of his
license, a fine of not more than $500
and six months Imprisonment or both
for each day any section of the act
is violated. This is the first time in
history that labor is so protected. The
worker is no longer a machine to be
exploited by the employer. The gov
eminent now looks upon him as a hui
man with the same rights and priv
ileges of the employer. Do you as
workers choose / wemain chattel or
are you going to take advantage of
this new emancipation proclamation

yourselves, your wives and families?

employee and no one seeking employ
ment shall be required as a condition
of employment to join any company
union or to refrain from joining, or
ganizing, or assisting a labor Organi-
cation of his W choosing.
This section means that the govern
ment wishes workers to organize their
own unions; unions free from employ
er domination, and should elect their
own representatives to negotiate all
wages and conditions of employment.
The only unions where workers have
such rights are in unions affiliated
with the American Federation of La
Dor. In a Company Union the COM
pany says who shall represent labor
and the company so dominates such
unions that a settlement fair to labor
is impossible. Had the president not
desired workers to affiliate with A. F..
of L. unions he would not have signed
a bill ~stressing the u~ndesirability of
Company unions. In fact the Cham
Der of Commerce asked that the word
Company Union be stricken from the
bill but the request was not granted.
Furthermore it will be impossible
to carry out the plans of the Indus
trial Recovery Act unless workers do
organize. There can be no fair COM
petition in industry until hours of
labor and wages are equalized in the
industry. There can be no equaliza-

litical action group which proposed
setting up a Farmer-Labo Party, or
that the workers should go into the
Socialist or Communist Parties.
While branding the Roosevelt pro-
posal as Fascist and opposing it
strongly, those who have been fight
ing for the formation of a Farmer
Labor Party see in it the premium on
political action which will, in the
course of time, be likely to make
American labor abandon its long-held
position Of staying out of politics.
They call attention TO the fact that
unions which have the most to gain
by governmental action are clearly
the ones which have been most active
in the independent political action of
the past. For example, the wages Of
railroad workers have been fixed by
governmental action, in the final anal
ysis, and as a result these organiza-
tions have been active and effective IN
electing congressman and senators
who were most favorable to their
program. If A. F.. of L. unions were
as well-organized politically as the
railroad unions, this political move
ment, which is largely responsible for
the Progressive bloc in Congress,
Montana labor news., 1933-06-22

would be much more powerful, it is
believed.
The history of the labor move
ment so far has made it clear that
without such a definite objective,
American workers and farmers have
not joined their ballots to their in
dustrial power to obtain their ends.
Now, those who are working for the
formation of a Farmer-Labor Party
point out, Roosevelt has done two
things. He has put a premium on po-
litical action for the worker who is
going to see his whole life standard
determined by politics and he has put
a premium on political action by the
farmer whose prices and acreage are
also to be determined by political ac-
ton. When wages and farm prices
are fixed by presidential edict, as is
likely to be the law of the nation
when the special session Of Congress
~adjourns, the great masses of Ameri-
can farmers and workers who have
never been won TO working class part
les in the old world sense, will be
driven by the whip Of necessity into
political action, it is believed. And

Page Z, Col. A, Standard, June 1S.
The Associated Press, Sunday, June
IS, carried a very interesting item
about a bus running from Spokane,
Washington, to Chicago, Illinois, be-
ing stopped at Superior, Montana, and
forced to comply with Montana State
law and buy a Montana license.
Sheriff Joe Mayo of Mineral Coun-
ty, should be complimented for his
loyalty and viligence in enforcing the
state laws. 1t is so easy to let an
other bus through and avoid disagree
able arguments with passengers and
drivers, who have nothing else to do
while being delayed but "razz" the au-
thority that upholds the law.
The fact that Sheriff Mayo and
the authorities of Mineral County
were right was proven by the driver,
Frank Nelson, buying a Montana
State license and continuing on his
way.
The State and County officials and
public should all look at this action in
a broad-minded way and agree that
properly licensed and regulated motor
traffic is a legitimate business and a
fair method of competition in trans
p%ortation.
If the passengers were in%convenien-
| ced for a short time we wish to rea-
son with them about their insurance
policies and the liability of bus COM
pany insurance. Look at your policies
and you will agree that Sheriff Mayo
was right in holding that bus, and
that Frank Nelson did the right thing
to buy a Montana license. Our acct
| dent policies do not make payments
| for injuries received when evading or
abetting a misdemeanor. Do you think
a bus bonded in Washington would be
protected if they had an accident
while illegally hauling passengers for
hire in another state?
Mr.. Bus Passenger you have the
same right to choose and ride in a bus
as your neighbor has to choose and
ride in a train, electric line Or drive
his coupe or sedan, but be sur that
the method of transportation you
choose has the legal right and equip
ment to protect your life and property.
This associated press item indicates
that most of the bus passengers were
school teachers enroute to Chicago.
Probably most of them will never
see this, but we hope lots of Montana
people will. Do you know that during
1882 the State of Montana only Ii

BoGOTA, Colombia. Feo. Is.
W.Pj-Colombia broke off diplo-
matte relations with Peru today.
The move came after Peruvian
planes attempted to bomb a Col
ombian flotilla near the disputed
port of Leticia, and Colombian
planes repelled the attack in an
aerial encounter above the jun
giles.
Colombia continued disembark-
ing troops in the upper Amazon re-
gion and serious fighting appeared
likely. Official sources here said the
Peruvian bombs were aimed at
transports carrying soldiers enroute
to Tarapaca, 100 miles north of
Leticia, but the bombs fell into the
Putumayo River and did no dam
age. 1t was tated officially that the
attack occurred in neutral Bra
lillian waters before the flotilla
reached Colombian territory.
Colombian airplanes commanded
by Major Boy, German flyer,
drove off the Peruvians, an official
announcement said.
Colombia charged Peru with ag-
gression in attacking the trans
ports. A communique issued soon
after midnight by the chancellery
said:

NEW YORK, Feb. Is. : Acute
weakness in utility stocks today
unsettled the stock market after
an early rally.
Consolidated Gas was under
pressure in the afternoon and SELF
ing spread to other sections of the
utility list on the big board and
the curb.
Immediate reason for selling was
publication of the annual report of
the New York public service COM
mission which limited that utilities
should make immediate rate re-
ductions.
The utility decline came at a
time when the market had appar-
emily overcome its uneasiness over
the Michigan bank situation and
shortly after such a favorable item
as declaration of the regular quar-
terly dividend by American Tele-
phone S& Telegraph company.
Reports withstood favorablv the
shock of the Michigan moratorium.
American Telephone touched
1907 before the dividend declara-
ton, moved up to 1919 and then
fell back to around 101.
Sales today were 100000 shares,
against $4,000 yesterday.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages:
industrial 56.78, up 0.O3; railroad
27.38, off 0.07; utility 23.97, off
C39.
Aggregate market value of 10
heading issues was $5,008,382 .O69,
