The Airport Problem.


The aviation corporation which has
purchased Hoover Field and Washing
ton Airport, consolidating them as
Washington Airport, may force one of
its competitors now using the field on
a rental basis to go. somewhere else.
This competitor, with the help of a re-
touched aerial photograph Of East Po-
tomac Park, has proposed the novel
scheme of turning the park into an air
port. The only important changes nee
essary to make it an airport would be
to dislodge the tourist camp, the golf
course and the drive around Hams
Point and deprive the people of one of
the most attractive recreation spots
around Washington. It is an ideal
scheme-from the point of view ,of the
airplane company.
But of course the proposal will be
vetoed, if it ever reaches the point
where such formal action is necessary.
The most interesting thing about it is
that any one had the temerity seriously
to advance such plan.
1t raises an interesting point, how
ever, in connection with the present
airport. AS it is now, the airport is a
private enterprise. The Government S
interest in it is confined to enforcing
certain safety regulations, through the
Department of Commerce, and main
tanning, through the War Department,
military road that runs straight
across the airport and constitutes a
menace to aviation, as well as to users
of the highway, which competent au-
thorities have condemned many times.
The authorities should be interested
now not only in making the Washing
ton Airport safe, but in assisting as
much as they can it's development as
the nucleus for the great airport that
will, at some future day, serve the
National Capital. Competition within
the aviation transportation industry
should not be permitted to crowd out
one line and force it to find another
airport, inviting condition that might
lead to the establishment of several
small, inadequate airports near Wash
ington instead OF the union airport to
serve all the lines.
If Department of Commerce officials
recognize the menace resulting from the
highway through the airport, and it
has been said that they do, it is diff
cult to understand why they do not
initiate conferences with other agencies
Of the Government and close the road.
At the next session of Congress a Gov
ernment policy might be decided in
connection with assisting airport devel-
opment. One Of the conditions for such
assistance should be the utilization of
washington Airport as a union airport
and the prevention of action which, In
the interest of competition, would de-
prive some line or lines of it's use.

posted not one of the stipends, nor has
he taken any occasion to explain the
reasons for his default. Dona Rita

Federico Castro has transferred the, car

taken the case under advisement and is
making the necessary investigations.

Survey declares that the first essential measure is to put
men to work and resume production.
"We need a national PLAN" it says, (which will re-
establish the exchange of goods through normal business
channels. 1t would be much more economical and eff
ficient to use federal loans to start production, create
the wealth which would repay them, and put men to
work producing for their needs, than to loan money for
doles to idle men, repaid by increasing taxes.
1T would be entirely possible for federal action to
start production of absolute necessities such as shoes,
food, textiles, clothing, using federal resources to under
write loans when necessary as suggested in the Kent
plan. Surveys of local needs could establish the extent
of production necessary; production could be allotted
and loans made on the basis of production and employ
ment. AS men are taken back to work and buying power
restored, business will gradually right itself, and federal
support could be withdrawn.
1.-THE mechanisms to carry out such a plan are at hand
in local agencies of government, trade and labor. It re-
mains for the federal government to marshal the forces

1t is recognized there are certain
things Roosevelt, with a Congress
eager for any strong leadership, could
do which would give the present sys-
tenn a breathing space, what AL Smith
calls a shot in the arm. For example:
l. Put hundreds of thousands Of
men at work on Muscle Shoals, the
Columbia River project, the st. Law
renee waterway, Mississippi flood con
troll, Stun clearance, at decent wages
and pay for it with a five billion dol
lar 2 IL per cent Last Chance bond
issue.
2. Meanwhile pay every unemploy-
ed worker $40 a week, plus allowances
for dependents; pay the bill with high
income and inheritance taxes.
3. Turn over the Farm Board cot
ton and wheat to the jobless, thus
boosting farm prices.
4. Accept their surplus goods from
war debtor nations at 1919 prices and
give the flood of goods to the jobless,
thus collecting our debts and wiping
out that wall to foreign trade.
s.. Recognize Soviet Russia on her
solemn pledge to buy one billion dol
lars worth of goods in America with
in a year to be paid for in 10-year
bonds bearing the same rate of inter-
est as the government pays.

THE UNION HALL COMPANY


1t was with a great deal of ~satisfac-
ton that many of the veterans Of Mis-
soula's labor movement attended the
celebration on Feb. 18th in comment
Grafton Of payment of the last install
ment of the Indebtedness on the Labor
Temple, owned and operated by The
Union Hall Company.
For several years prior to 1916 Mis-
%soula's labor organizations had not
had a building of their own, the old
union hall having burned down on the
Both day of July, 1911.
In the fall of 1916 a new corpora
ton was formed to take the place of
the old Union Hall Co. whose term of
incorporation had expired. The new
board of directors were instructed and
authorized to proceed with the erection
of a modern structure on the sit of the
old building. This work commenced
during the last days of 1916 and pro-
ceeded throughout the year of 1917.
With the heavy Indebtedness against
the property and the not too prosper
Gus times which were experienced
shortly after the war, the board of di-
rectors found a difficult problem fac
ing them in making their payments as
they came due from time to time.
Through a concerted effort on the part
of many of our veterans in the labor
movement the various unions were in-
duced to buy stock in the Union Hall
Co. and thus the major part of the
Indebtedness was eliminated. The bal
ance was borrowed on a long time
basis with provision for monthly pay
ments from the proceeds of the rem
tails, and on Sept. l, 1882, the final
payment was made.
At the annual meeting Of the stock
holders held on Jan. 9th, the board of
directors were instructed to arrange a
suitable celebration in commemoration
of this event. A program consisting
of musical selections by Missoula City
Band, vocal selections by Mrs. A. M.

burning of the mortgage by H. X.

CONFIDENCE IN

(By CARL J. T"RAUERMAN)
Mining Engineer, Butte, Mont.

Mining EiglAeeIy DuIJey MOuI.
This writer always has been a pro-
ponent of rehabilitating silver,
whether it be in the shape of remone
tization, furthering it's commodity use
or a combination of both. This
country might start the ball rolling
by enacting the Pittman or a similar
act, but, in any event, we are of the
opinion that not much lasting world
benefit will be derived until the ques-
ton is settled by international agree
ment.
From time immemorial both silver
and gold have been used as measures
of wealth and mediums of exchange,
whether in the shape of bullion or
coins. This was brought about by
confidence and usage, as neither metal
possesses anything inherent over
other metals, except comparatively
small production, and neither metal
possesses a usage quality which is not
possessed by the other. 1t seems to
be mostly a matter of confidence as to
what shall constitute a medium of
wealth and exchange.
Until India went on the gold stand
ard, bimetallism was practically uni
versal. The action of India evidently
destroyed the confidence in silver and
by similar methods the confidence in
gold could be destroyed and we again
would be back in the "barter" ages.
If by international agreement the
value Of silver could be fixed at sixty
cents per ounce, the same as gold is
fixed at $20.67 per ounce, probably the
confidence in silver could be restored.
From a production standpoint, there
would not be any oversupply of sill
yer, as the average annual world out
put is about 260, 900 900 ounces in nor
NAL times. With confidence restored,
what difference would it make to a
banker whether he had in his vault
gold or silver bullion? To illustrate
this we repeat a story told by Stuart
Chase, economist, lecturer and writer
over the radio a few nights ago. He
stated that a guest arrived at a hotel
to stay a few days and deposited with
the cashier a 500 bill, which the cash
Ter placed with the general funds Of
the hotel. The coal man came to the
hotel to collect his bill, which amount
ed to 500, and he was given the cur
rency mentioned. The coal man in
turn paid his doctor $100 which he
owed. The doctor owed the hotel 500
for entertainment and paid it with
the same 500 bill, which was again
returned to the hotel safe. In a few
days the guest was ready to leave
and paid his hotel bill in small cur
rency, took his 500 bill and lighted

GREETINGS

AS Missoula Union Labor makes its
bow to its comrades in Montana
through the columns of Montana La
Dor News we wish to extend to you all
a word of greeting and of fraternal
fellowship.
1t is with appreciation to the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor Council
that we accept the opportunity to use
their publication through which to ar
ny forth our message of Missoula labor
news, our trials, and tribulations as
each present themselves.
Your experiences, we are certain,
have been the same as ours. Unless
we have opportunity to state our side
of controversial questions as they
arise, the public as well as people of
our own groups are going to have the
wrong impression of the problems at
hand, and it is going to be impossible
to get a square deal. 1t has been our
experience that whenever we have had
opportunity to state our case and get
it before the public, fewer and lesser
attempts have been made to misrep-
resent cause. Whenever we have
had no such avenue of expression for
our own use, we have been at the
mercy of those who would misrepre-
sent, distort, and destroy the cause of
labor. Being in position to defend
ourselves and nail their falsehoods we
have been spared from many such
cowardly attacks which otherwise
would have been directed towards or
ganized labor.
For about two years union labor of
Missoula had its wi little publication,
1t served its purpose well and, if the
financial status of Jul organizations
had been a little more secure, its pub
LEGATION no doubt would have been re-
sumed after returning from the ride
to which our organizations had been
treated. That not being possible dur
ing these difficult times, we are more
than pleased to accept the opportunity
at hand to offer u little bit in sup
port of our fraternal brothers in Sill
yer Bow County in return for the cour-
tesy extended to us in the use of their
columns in the Labor News.
In the hope that we may be of
mutual assistance to each other and
that organized labor will do their ut
most to support the Montana Labor
News so that it may carry on it's i'm
p%ortant mission in behalf of the men
and women of Montana who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brows, we
extend to you I'll our hand in friendly
greeting and fraternal fellowship
