Miners Union Growing
By Leaps and Bounds
RSTDAYOFORGANIZATION BRINGS
IN HUNDREDS--MINERS TAKING AID
VANTAGE OF NEW ACT--SHOWING|
GREAT SPIRIT IN ENLISTING IN WAR
AGAINST UNEMPLOYMENT.

Reports of the first day of organization work among
Butte miners shows that the miners of Butte have the spirit
of old. Hundreds joined the ranks of the Miners Union
on the first day of organization activities and seemed only
too willing to join President Roosevelt in his war against
depression. The response was far beyond the hopes of
the organizers and the only reason that more were not
taken in on the first day was due to the fact that they
could not be signed up any faster. AT the present rate,
a majority of the Butte Miners will be members of the
Union by the end of the week. With such a spirit the
present unemployment situation in Butte will be greatly
alleviated. When the workmen of Butte are organized in
to a solid rank it will be only a matter of months until
hours of labor and wage scales can be definitely settled.
The longer workers refuse to join their craft union the
longer will be delayed the day of recovery.
Miners, wishing to join the Union may do so at any
time by calling on Thomas Brown on the second floor of
the Carpenters Hall. All desired information about join
ing can be secured from him. MINERS OF BUTTE,
DON'T DELAY; JOIN NOW N HASTEN Fl "a
OF Industries are already organized and
commodity prices are rising every day. Join your Union
and bring wages to a proportionate level. Remember
you have the backing c. your government and have redress
in the Federal Courts for a discrimination shown because
of union activities.

With the passage of the industrial
recovery bill, the United Mine Work
ers Of America has instituted an ex-
tensive campaign to organize the I'M
organized coal miners of the country.
Work is going forward. Wherever
coal is mined extensively, forces are
at work urging the unorganized miner
to join up with the U. M. W. of A.
At its peak of numerical strength
the United Mine Workers once had a
membership Of substantially SOC, 900.
Due to economic circumstances over
which the union had little or no con
troll, the great mass of union miners
dwindled to a mere 100000 holding
membership in the union. 1t is hoped
and expected that within a short space
of time great progress will be shown.
The industrial recovery bill, which
became law recently, had the support
of organized labor and arises out Of
the continued and persistent efforts
Of the u. M. w. of A. to stabilize in
dustry to a point where a greater
standard of living may be attained by

u. M. W. OF A. PLAN CAMPAIGN
TO STRENGTHEN ORGANIZATION

those who mine coal. The important
labor clauses Incorporated in the
Davis Kelly coal sterilization bill were
placed in the Wagner industrial recov-
cry bill, thus granting to labor the
right to bargain collectively through
representatives of their own choosing.
The organizing campaign in district
10 in Washington state is under the
direct supervision of Walter Smet-
hurst, international board representa-
tive of Montana, who has gone to th9t
district to establish headquarters.
Mr.. Smethurst says that with the
sterilization of the mining industry
and the reorganization Of the NOR
ganized miners in the country mining
communities will brighten up under
the influence of better working con
ditions, decreased hours of labor and
a higher standard Of living.

100 Hour Week, Deductions for Planting S%hrubbery and

ROCK HILL, S. C.-Charges that
South Carolina textile manufacturers
impose peonage, Illegal working hours,
discount fees for cashing pay checks
and other forms of victimization on
their employees were made at a meet
ing here of mill workers, who asked
a senatorial investigation of mill con-
ditions.
The meeting was attended by rep
resentatives of textile unions in
Greenville, Spartanburg, Hook Hill
and Aiken county.
L. f. Brookshire of Greenville,
president of the South Carolina State
Federation of Labor, said that in some
mill communities workers are paid by
check and forced to give a 20 per
cent discount to get them cashed. To
get full pay all wages must be spent
in company stores.

Loyal Legion of Loggers & Lumber
men-a company union that includes

In Portland, Ore, the American

they would no longer recognize the
local but would deal with the -Four L

in Tacoma.

SEES ROOSEVELT PLANS.

NEW YORK, January 26 CP.-The
World Telegram in copyrighted story
today quoted Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwell
one of President elect Roosevelt's
economic advisers, in the outline of a
seven-point national program which the
paper said would very likely form the
framework of the incoming administra-
tons restorative policies"
The Tugwell plan, as set forth in the
story, follows:
l. Drastically higher income and in
heritance taxes, particularly in the
upper brackets. No sales tax.
2. Widespread public works program,
possibly entailing $4,000, 100000 at the
start; direct relief to the INDECENT un-
employed; intense stimulation to semi
public works projects, such as slum
clearence, through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation
3. Reduction in interest and public
utility rates.
4. Sound currency. No imitation.
S. A budget balanced as to current
expenditures, with repeal Of the eight

zenith amendment q factor In raising
revenues.
6. Restoring the balance between
wholesale prices, especially for agricul-
tural products. and retail prices to con-
sumers. The farm allotment bill, which
already has passed the House, is ex-
pected to accomplish this for the
farmer.
7. Rationalizing the intergovern-
mental debt settlements-perhaps by
remitting the interest items in the total
sumo due-and by basing the debtors
capacity to pay upon their ability to
transfer goods or money In relation to
gold reserves and value. Also ration
alizing foreign trade arrangements,
such as tariffs. and perhaps seeking q
vast new outlet for American raw goods
and manufactures In Russia"
