UNION GRANTS
INCREASE

Last Monday, July 21st, by an ac-
ton of both the Sheep Shearers' I'm
ion and the Sheep Shearers' Merchan-
disc and Commission Company Ma
chine shop, the rate of pay for those
employed in the machine shop was
raised so that the amount now re-
ceived for thirty-five hours work is
equal to that formerly paid for forty
hours work, namely $40 to S45 per
week. An increase in pay was also
granted to the office force CORES
ponding to that granted to the other
department. A telegram was sent to
President Roosevelt stating that the
organization had complied with a re-
quest sent out by the National Re-
covery Administration in respect to
the reduction Of hours and increasing
the purchasing power of the people.
The Sheep Shearers' Union and
Merchandise and Commission Com
pany is located at the corner of Plat
mum and Main. Butte is the Inter-
national Headquarters for this organ
ization. Mr.. A. A. Evans is the in
ternational president and secretary.
1t is gratifying to the Montana Labor
News and the unions of Silver Bow
County in the State of Montana that
this union should be one of the first
to grant the increase in pay and re-
duction of hours as provided in the
New Deal.

COUNCIL NOTES

The meeting of the Central Council
was spent discussing the Industrial
Recovery Act. Congressman Monag-
han was present at the meeting CIV
ing his Interpretation of clause seven
in the blanket code. He also defined
his Interpretation Of the purpose of
the act, that Interpretation being that
hours Of labor are to be reduced and
wages are to be increased, thereby
spreading employment and yet main
tanning and increasing purchasing
power. Congressman Joe was flood
ed with questions that came with ma
chine-gun r%apidity.
After Monaghan left the boys ar
gued the Act out among themselves
settling the problems in a few short
hours. 1t was agreed that a code for
Montana will have to be prepared by
the State Federation of Labor, prob
ably at a special called session. The
Organization committee of the Coun-
Gil was given the task of seeking to
coordinate a code for Butte labor to
present to the State Federation. Many
delegates reported that their interna-
tionals have already worked on codes
to apply to their trades and crafts,
nationally.
Jerry O'Connell was endorsed by the
Council for the office of manager of
the Butte division for the Presidents
program for unemployment.
The Council also endorsed the re-
quest of the Typographical union ask
ing the county officers to have their
material printed rather than purchase
expensive Monograph equipment.
The Grievance committee reported
that the grievance between the School
Board and the Women's Protective I'M
ion was settled to the satisfaction of
both parties. The declaration of UNI
fairness was then lifted.
At the request of the BARRIERS, the
Central Council and Building and
Trades Council, jointly, declared the
Beaver Block unfair to organized la
Dor.

CHURCHES

DE~TROIT-(FP)-"So long as ex-
ploitation of the poor is permitted,
we dare not call ourselves a Christian
or even a religious people," Rev. H.
Ralph Higgins told his congregation at
st. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, accus-
ing the church of "~inexcusable cow
ardice" for uttering p~latitudes instead
of graphing with the basic causes of
exploitation Of the poor.
"Many concerns are taking advan-
tage of the business upgrade to over-
work their employees in return for the
lowest possible wages. Profiteers are
rubbing their hands in anticipation Of
easy money" he said.
"Official Christianity must plead
guilty to giving at least its tacit APP
proval to methods of business and So
cial living that inevitably produce the
very poverty and exploitation which
our religion processes to oppose"
Christian churches, he said, have
spent their energy on relief and ben
evidence instead of seeking below the
surface.

LINCOLN SPEAKS TO LABOR


III SEE in the ear future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and
causes me to trembe for the safety of my country. As a result of
war, corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high
places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to
proiong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all
the wealth is aggregate in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed. Il
feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of our country than ever
before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my forebodings may be
groundless.
Monarchy itself is sometimes limited as a refuge from the power of the
people. In my present position could scarcely be justified were / to
omit to raise a warning voice against the approach of returning despotism.
1t is not needed nor fitting here that a general argument should be made
in favor of popular institutions; but there is on point with its connections,
not SO hackneyed as most others, to which | ask brief attention. 1t is
assumed that labor is available only in connection with capital; that no.
body labors unless somebody else owning capital, somehow by the us of
it, induces him to labor. Labor is prior to and independent of capital
Capital is only the fruit of labor and could not have existed if labor had
not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much the
higher consideration. l BID THE LABORING PEOPLE BEWARE OF
SURRENDERING THE POWER WHICH THEY POSSESS, and which
If surrendered will surely be used to shut the door of advancement for
such as they, and fix e disabilities and burdens upon them until all of
liberty shall be lost.
I'm the early days of or &C the Almighty said to the first of man
kind In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread and since then, if we
except the light and air of heaven, no good thing has been or can be enjoyed
by us without first having cost labor. And inasmuch a most good things
have been produced by labor, it follows that all such things belong of right
to those whose labor has produced them. But it has 81 happened, in all
ages of the world, that some have labored and others have without labor,
enjoyed a large portion of the fruits. This is wrong and should not con-
tinue. To secure to each laborer the whole product of his labor, Is nearly
IS possible is a worthy object of any government.
1T seems strange that any man should dare to ask a just Gods assist
ance in wringing bread from the sweat Of other mems faces. THIS
COUNTRY WITH IT'S INSTITUTIONS BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE
WHO INHABIT IT."

to sell the power-some 100000 horse
power from the initial development
from a dam lao feet high to the Wash

The Washington
- Scene --

BY LAWRENCE TODD

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Now that
Leo Wolman, chairman Of the Labor
Advisory Board, has stated to the
press that he has received definite
evidence that workers in various in
dustries have been dismissed for join
ing labor unions, in recent weeks, Gen.
Hugh Johnson, administrator of the
Recovery Act, is daily being asked
what he proposes to do about it, In
his press conference of July rs he re-
piled to this question by promising
to withdraw the protection of the code
from any employer who so violates
the labor Section of the code
after a code is applied to his industry.
But Johnson offers no comfort to
workers who are dismissed now, when
organizing plants that have sabotaged
the adoption of a code for themselves.
He leaves the protection of such VIC
tins of the anti-labor activities of the
bosses to whatever power labor may
create for itself.
From Butte comes word to Recov-
cry headquarters of a definite and
really inspiring example to all other
industrial centers, as to what to do
to protect the shock troops of union
ism before a code takes effect. The
copper miners and mill and smelter-
men have suddenly renewed their
stamped out membership in the union.
There are $500 new members of Local
No. l, of the Mine, Mill and Shelter
mems international Union in Butte
today. The Anaconda Copper Mining
Co. has lost its long campaign of sup
preston of the labor movement.
Butte miners are ready to help die
tate the code for their industry, and
TO see that it is enforced.
A#*
Johnson was asked what he would
do about strikes in industries now
proposing codes. He evaded, saying
strikes were not his affair. However,
he announced that he had set up ma
chinery for interpreting and Clarity
ing the blanket code as promulgated
by the President" And the head of
this committee of explanation is none
other than General Thomas H.
Hamond, president of the Illinois Man
u~facturers Association. One of the
business agents of a big international
union, watching hearings at head
quarters, commented that Hammond's
industrial reputation "smells to
heaven" Workers may ask Hammond
about his view of their freedom to
strike, in plants covered or not GOV
cred by the blanket code-if they care
to go to that trouble. Meanwhile re-
ports of strikes, with consequent bet
tering of the labor movement and
weakening Of the employers resist
ance to decent wage standards, pour
in from all directions.
