ENGINEERS RESOLUTION ENDORSED

The Council adopted the following
resolution already endorsed by the
Miners and Engineers:
Petition to Franklin D. Roosevelt,
President of the United States, by En-
gineers' Union, No. 80, international
Union of Mine, Mill g. Smelter Work
ers:
Preamble.
To influence the policy of the Ma
tional Recovery Act as it applies to
the Code of the Manganese Industry
and the employees benefited thereby,
and in order that foreign importa-
tions shall not render the code inef-
~fective, the members of the above UNI

ing, do hereby respectfully petition
the President of the United States to
forbid or limit importation of all man.
ganese in any of it's forms, ore alloys
or product used for its manganese con-
tent in the manufacture of other pro-
ducts; that such limitations be suf-
ficient to enable American employ
ees of this industry enjoy a larger
share of the domestic market for
manganese in accordance with the
purposes of the Code of Fair Com
petition of the National Recovery
Act"
Whereas, The American Manganese
Industry offers much opportunity for
early employment of labor in new con-
struction and installation work as the
industry has passed the experimental
period and is ready to develop, and
Whereas, The desirability of a do
nestle supply for military prepared
ness and freedom from foreign con-
troll and monopoly of prices, and
Whereas, The United States have
vast natural resources in the form of
low grade ores, with many plants de-
veloped for the economical production
from these low grade ores, and
Whereas, The Butte & Philipsburg
districts in Montana alone are equip
ped to supply the industry many
thousand tons of manganese ore daily,
and
Whereas, The production of man
ganese ore in many countries export
ing to the United States, is under de-
plorable working conditions and
would not meet the Code of Fair Com
petition and the National Recovery
Act, and
Whereas, The present tariff on
manganese produced by such unfair
methods is insufficient for American
employees to be g~ainfully employed,

Wages Are Not to Be Reduced With Hours

rate of $3.50 for a 44-hOur week,
or less than at the rate of S13 per
week for a 48-heur work week.
Section 2, makes an exception to
apprentices. Apprentices and Juniors
may be paid at the rate Of $1.00 less
than the minimum allowed. One ap-
prentice is allowed for every 5 clerks
up to 20 and n for every 10 over 20.
Section 5 is the most important for
Butte Clerks. 1t reads as follows:
The weekly wages of all employees
receiving more than the minimum
wages prescribed in this article
shall not be reduced from the rates
existing upon July Is, 1888, not
withstanding any reduction in the
number of working hours of such
employees.
This means that even though a
clerks hours Of work are reduced in
compliance with the retail code, week
ly wages SHALL NOT be reduced be-
low the WEEKLY scale of July 10,
1888.
This code includes all retail lines
except the following: foods, tobacco,
milk and drugs. The Drug Store
Code reads as follows in regards to
hours and wages: Hours are the
same as for other clerks excepting in
stores that remain open for 81 hours
a week. Clerks in stores remaining
open 81 hours shall not work oven Sc
hours a week and not over 10 days
in any two weeks. Pharmacists may
work 10 per cent over these hours.
Wages for clerks in stores keeping
open "a hours a week and working
the maximum number Of hours, in a
city the size Of Butte shall receive a
minimum wage of $14.OO per week.
The living up to the retail code in
Butte would mean an increase Of at
least Is per cent in the number OF
employees with no reduction in wages,
Living up to this code does not
mean an added hardship upon the en-
ployer for he is allowed to add the
increased cost of labor to the price
of his goods. He is also protected
against unfair competition under the
provisions of the code.

AN ARMISTICE DAY
PRAYER

Our Father, who are in Heaven,
We pause in the midst
Of hurried living,
In memories of an endless
Line of men
Who marched into the valley of
death,
Never to return again.
May their dying not be in vain.
May we this day renew with thee
Our vow to them
Our vow to end all war.
And though our method
Of ending war
Be a different method
From that which they used,
Grant us a devotion to our cause
Like unto that which they had for
theirs;
Give us a willingness
To give up everything,
Even unto death,
In carrying out our way.
We pause in the midst
Of our seeking knowledge
Lest we forget
There are many things we do not
know;
Lest we forget
That s~o-called Christian Nations
Have gone to war
And may yet go to war against
each other.
Forgive us, we pray,
That we live in a world of war
That we live in a world
That has not yet learned
How to live at peace with itself.
w would remember this day
One who walked the shores
Of a Galilean lake,
Who spoke of a Kingdom of God,
A Brotherhood of Man.
Hasten the day when
Thy kingdom of peace on earth
And good will among all men
Shall be realized on this
Our good earth.
Amen.
Marshall Rhew.

The daily press has given extensive
publicity to the code adopted for re-
tail stores and approved by the Presi-
dent of the United States. Nothing
has been said in this publicity regard
ing hours and wages of employees.
The Montana Labor News brings this
important portion Of the code to your
attention:
Article V. Section l.
Group A. Any establishment
may elect to remain open for bust
ness less than Sc hours per week,
unless its store hours were less
than So hours prior to June 1, 1888,
in which case such establishment
shall not reduce its store hours; no
employee Il these establishments
shall worn acre than 40 hours per
week, nor more than 8 hours per
day, nor more than 6 days per week.
This means that no employee of re-
tail places of business, other than
professional people, outside statesmen,
outside collectors, ~watchmen, guards,
store detectives, maintenance or serv-
ice employees and executives shall
work more than 40 hours per week.
Group B, allowing for stores that re-
main open for not over SO hours and
not less than Sc hours, make "A hours
the work week, and 9 hours a maxi
mum work day. Group C, stores re-
naming open for 60 hours or over,
allows a maximum work week of as
hours and a work day of not oven 1C
hours. So in brief we have the follow
ing:
Stores remaining open, not less
than 81 hours may work their clerk.
not over 40 hours per week; Stores
open not less than Sc hours may work
their clerks not over A hours pei
week; Stores open over So hours may
work their clerks, not oven AZ hours
per week. Exception is only made
during stated peak periods.
Article vi, Section 1, (c) Cities Of
$4,000 to 100000 population:
No employee shall be paid less
than the rate of S12 per week for a
40-hOur week, or less than at the

It is the feared enemy of fish, frog and
even young water fowl. 1t is voracious
creature with an appetite that is never
satisfied.
In the early Summer the mother
leaves her watery home to seek place
in the sand near the waters edge, well
exposed to the sun. After finding a
place to her liking, she scoops away the
sand and burrows into the pocket for
about four inches. or until she Is en-
tirely covered, with only her nose ex-
posed.
For several days she remains on the
nest, until she has laid several dozen
eggs Then she creepS from her nest
cautiously, so that the sand that COW
cred he'd body will slide from her back,
hiding the eggs. The hot sun does the
incubating.
The mother has no further interest
in her offspring. The eggs are per-
fectly spherical, white, with brittle
shells, and are about 1l2 inches in
diameter. They look like the eggs of
the common swapping turtle.
The young turtles are very gayly COL
ored. AS they grow older, they become
dull looking, their heads brown with
indistinct bands. The lower shell is
white, the upper one olive brown, and
on the rings of the carapace there are
black dots Old fellows have shells ID
inches long and about is inches wide.
They weigh about % pounds.
These creatures are to be seen in
Georgia, southwark through Florida,
westward through Louisiana. They may
be found in brackish water. This
species is edible, and Is sold in con-
siderable numbers in the Northern
markets. as we'll as the Southern ones,

foot the Wood Mouse was hunting for
seeds and storing them away, too puSy
to more than nod to Peter.
At last Peter left the Green Forest
and wandered down to the Smiling
Pool to look for Jerry Muskrat. He had
no trouble in finding him. Jerry was
swimming over to his house with some
rushes; these he added to the roof of
his house. AS soon as he had placed
them to suit him he dived into the
water and disappeared. Peter waited
and watched. Presently he noticed some
rushes moving in curious way, and
/ then, one by one, they fell or were
dragged down. In moment or two
Jerry appeared with them in his mouth
and started to swim back to his house.
What are you do.ng?" asked Peter.
Jerry's mouth being full, he made
no reply. Peter waited until those
rushes had been added to the house
and then repeated the question.
Getting ready for Winter" replied
Jerry.
But it is long time yet before Win
ter" protested Peter.
| And when it comes I will be ready
for it," retorted Jerry. He dived and
swan under water over to the rushes.
Back and forth between the rushes
and the house Jerry Muskrat swan
He worked as if he hadn't minute to
lose. In vain Peter tried to get him to
stop for little gossip.
| Time enough for that when my work
Is finished, and am ready for Winter"
said Jerry. Thrift makes the most
of the present to make sure of ease and
plenty in the future" and would say no
more.
Disconsolately Peter wandered off in
search Of some one who, like. himself,
was content with today and gave no
thought for the morrow He began to
wonder if these l0sy neighbors were
right and he was wrong
1T would be nice" thought he, "to
have plenty to eat when the hard
times come. There are times in Winter
when never know what it is not to
be hungry. I wonder what it would be
like to have a supply of food always
ready as Happy Jack and Chatterer and
Striped Chipmunk do" Then he
thought of how hard the Squirrel cou-
sins were working these beautiful Fall
days. But 1t does seem so foolish to
work so hard when one might be feast
ing and having good time" he added
with little sigh.

Some Questions About Ham
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

oven and baked slowly at low tenn
perature about an hour.
During the latter part Of baking the
heat should be increased to $50 degrees,
in order to provide that brown crust
which we associate with the best baked
hams. With baked ham, cider or
raisin sauce or one made with orange
or other fruit Juice may be served.
Thick slices Of ham are sometimes
chosen for baking with milk. BY the
way, If you scald the ham first in boil
ing water you will probably prevent the
milk from curdling, which is sometimes
the case, because Of the large amount
Of salt In the ham. Sometimes pota-
toes, either sweet or white, are sliced
and baked with it. A sliced ham, with
glazed pineapple, bananas or with pears,
may be chosen to vary our ham dishes.
A delicious combination prepared from
thin slices Of ham is speciality Of one
OF New York's restaurants Very fine
bread cruEabs are mixed with anchovy
butter before they are spread over the
ham which has been boiled on the al
ternate side. An oyster sauce accom-
panies this dish.
Another question which came to me
was one In regard to keeping broiled
ham from drying out. A very hot flame
must be used and the ham must be
served Immediately. Some people pre-
fer pan broiling for ham, because 1t
does not dry so much. Some recipes
suggest that we scald the ham with hot
water before broiling. Ham has so
much flavor that little will 60 long
way. One-half pound Of raw ham cut
into pieces and cooked with raw pota-
toes covered with milk makes an eco
nomical and savory dish. Every bit of
the broiled or baked ham or, In fact.
any leftover ham may be used to ad-
vantage in omelets or creamed dishes,
or in combination with crumbs for stuf-
f1ng for peppers or eggplant.
