Montana labor news., 1933-01-12

Harry Crimes, Francis Nc
kelvey and Sarah Johnson
Also Returned to Office.

Employees, was again returned to
the office of president of the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council by
an overwhelming majority. On a mo-
ton made by Frank Krabler, of the
Painters Union, the opposing candi-
date, Malloy was unanimously elected
president. This is Malloy's fifth term
as president of the Council, and the
overwhelming vote he received showed
the confidence and trust the members
of the Council have in his sincerity
and ability. The office of president
is a thankless office and Malloy is to
be congratulated on the fine spirit he
has put into that position, especially
during the past two trying and often
bitter years.
c. w. Hutchinson of the Transfers
was unanimously elected v~ice-presi-
dent of the Council. Hutchinson is
a new o~fficeholder but has served the
Council well as chairman protein at
different times, and in Hutchinson
Malloy will find a capable and trust
worthy substitute and aid.
The only officer to have oppose
ton, outside of the president, was
Harry Grimes of the Machinists, sec
retary-treasurer of the Council.
Grimes carried the field with a huge
majority and on the motion made by
Frank Watson of the Structural Iron
Workers and seconded by Ed Duncan
Of the Electrical Workers, the cleo
ton of Grimes was made unanimous.
Duncan and Watson were the other
two candidates for the office. This
will be Grimes second term. His Of
flee is probably the toughest in the
Council, as the business management
Of the Labor News also rests upon
his shoulders. Harry has stood up
well during his first year Of office,
and the Council, by it's vote, showed
its appreciation of the splendid work
Grimes has done during the past year.
Francis McKelvey of the Working
mems Union was unopposed in his run
for sergeant-at-arms Pat Deloughery
withdrawing before the vote was TAX
en-. Frank seemed rather dazed about
it all but that can be layed to his MAX
ing the great adventure into the ranks
of matrimony during the past week.
In withdrawing, Deloughery thought
that McKelvey would make a better
peace officer than in the past. NAL
10y also stated that he hoped that
now McKelvey could devote his full
time to the work of the Council.
Sarah johnson, of the Women's Pro-
tective Union, was also unopposed for
the office Of statistician. This is
Sarah's second term in this office
and her work in the past has been
splendid. Sarah mas a knack of pick
ing fancy paper for the boys to sign
and the color scheme selected this
week guaranteed her election.
Council Loses Two Faithful Members.
AS the Council enters the new year,
two faithful members will be found
missing as delegates. Bill Squires,
member of the Transfers Union, and
wheel-horse of the Press committee,
was elected alternate from his union
and will no longer be sfound among
the faithful in the front of the room.
We will miss Bills grin and the aroma
of his briar as we enter the coming
year. Bill has served faithfully on
many committees but we believe the
Press committee was his pet hobby.
Another one to be missed is our
faithful vice-president, A. L. Peter
son of the Musicians. For IL years
Pete has held office in the Council
and has served on all important com
mittees. During these IL years Pete
has held the chairs in each end of
the hall and we will miss his hammer
ing the desk while Malloy joins the
employed for a night. Pete, in leav-
ing his office, paid splendid tribute
to the Council for the honors con-
ferred upon him and for the coop
Grafton he received while in office,
The Musicians have only two delegates
this year and Pete serves as alternate.
Whitley Installs Officers.
Charles Whitley, past president of
the Council, took the pulpit and in
stalled the newly-elected officers. With
our tried and true officers reelected,
and a worthy successor to Peterson
installed, we look for a bigger and
better year for organized labor in
Butte.
The Council also passed a motion
to support the bill for a reduction in
auto license fees, now before the state
legislature. They also passed a mo-
