SEN ATORS GIVE
 WATCH TO THEIR
 LEADER TODAY.
Appreciation Is Expressed of Shattuck s Conduct
 in Presiding Office

Compliments were exchanged in the Senate this morning when President Allen Shattuck was pre- sented a gold watch by his fellow Senators, Senator Hess past presi- dent of the Senate in 1881, to in- dieate their esteem and apprecia- ton for the manner in which the President had conducted the Sem ate deliberations during the session ending today
 We thought that the rulings of the presiding officer would be fair. impartial and the presiding would be with dignity and with honor to the Senate. we have not been mistaken said Senator Hess in his presentation speech.
 T think the Senate has taken advantage of me to select the best lawyer and speaker in the Senate to present this to me" res bonded the President. AS you know, I followed into the position a man whose decisions and rulings and conduct of the deliberations of the Senate in 1881 were of the highest order possible. and I realized when I took this position it would be difficult to handle it as efficiently as did Senator Hess.

HELENA. Mont, July 1.-Montana's S
so-called chain-store tax became effec-
tive today. Enacted by the Legislature
last Winter it affects about 5000 estab-
lishments through the State. The State
Board Of Equalization. during the past
week. has been mailing data on the
act to retailers and wholesalers who
come under the law.
After today it is unlawful for any
chain to operate without license,
either in retail or wholesale trade, and
severe fines are provided for violation
of the act.
While aimed primarily at chain
stores, the law applies to all retailers
and wholesalers and all must procure
licenses. Single units are affected with
chains operating many places OF business.
Licenses expire December 80 each
year and for 1888 half-year licenses are
being issued.
The tax is expected to yield about
$4,000 annually. 1t provides on the
present half-year basis, S1.75 for one or
two stores; SIS where there are three or
four; $40 where there are five or six:
$13 where there are seven or eight and
SIS for ten or more.
Seeks Industrial Loan.
Helena High School trustees are
thinking of applying for a loan under
the industrial recovery act for erec-
ton of a new school, which the district
long has needed. No decision has been
reached, but E. M. Hall, chairman OF
the board of trustees, said the board
is looking into the matter.
This State may be far inland, but
it may have the first beer boat, it is
claimed, in the Northwest. Parties de-

QUICK RESULTS EXPECTED
FROM INDUSTRY CONTROL
Pennsylvania Sweatshops Likely to End,
Doing Away With Necessity for
Special Assembly Call.

A dress factory worker was paid l.30
for So hours work; another received s4
for full month. In a group Of plants
in the clothing industry surveyed by
State investigators. one-fourth Of all
employees were less than IS years old,
one-half less than 18, and Al per cent
OF all employees were paid less than S.
week. In some shops, cents week
was deducted from pay envelopes to
bear the cost of employees ice water;
in others there were deductions to pay
for hold-up insurance to safeguard pay
rolls; in another, S3-a-week employees
contributed so cents weekly to aid their
employer in paying rent.
In many other cases, fy-by-night
garment manufacturers paid no wages.
In one town, which contributed $4,000
to induce a shirt factory to establish
there to provide local employment, and
provided building rent-free for the
first month, the employer fed the town
at the end Of the month, owing $4,000
in wages. Others started all employees
as learners" for one week without pay,
and discharged them at the end of the
week. There were instances in which
time clocks were reset before employees
punched their cards, to hide evidence
Of working schedules three hours day
longer than the law allowed and
wages then were paid only on the hours
permitted by law.
From these disclosures arose de-
mand from labor organizations and
social workers for an immediate special
session of the Legislature, to enact
minimum wage and lower maximum
hour laws to drive the sweatshops out
of Pennsylvania in the same way laws
in nearby States drove them here Mrs.
Pinchot, stirred by the sweatshop in
vestigation in which she is participat-
ing, also became an advocate of the
Summer session for more drastic labor
laws. and Gov Pinchot last month said
he was considering calling one.
The prospect that codes regulating
the needle industries may soon be
effective under the recovery act ap-
pears also to hold the prospect of abol-
iShing the sweatshopS and making
session to control them unnecessary at
once. Discussions in Washington this
week, indicating the cotton textile
code may call for less than 40 hours
week and more than s11 as the
minimum weekly wage, seem to indi-
cate the standards to be set in the
new codes automatically will correct
the low pay and long hours which
have featured the sweatshops here, if
the rules are enforced against the
migratory employers.

BY WALTER d. ROOS.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July while
many manufacturers of the State are
skeptical regarding the ultimate effect
upon their businesses, Pennsylvania ex-
poets two quick-moving results from the
operation Of the national industrial re-
covery act.
One Is the snufing out Of sweat
shops through industrial codes fixing
maximum hours and minimum wages.
The second is elimination of pro-
posed Summer special session of the
Legislature to consider labor laws which
would have controlled the low-wage
long-hour plants employing mostly chill
dren IA and is years old.
The sweatshop has become epidemic
in Pennsylvania only recently. and is
confined largely to the needle branches
OF the textile and clothing industry.
State labor officials attribute the sud-
den appearance OF shops in this state
to recent enactment of more stringent
labor laws by its neighbors. Ohio al
lows a maximum of 40 hours a week
work by children. and New York A.
In Pennsylvania children. upon COM
pleting the sixth grade of public
school, may begin work at age of IA
and work 81 hours a week. Women
may work 81 hours. There is no maxi
mum hours law for men. and no mini
mum-wage law for men, women or
children here.
Move Plants Into State.
In the first five months Of this year,
prosecutions for violating the maxi
mum hours law were brought by the
State Department of Labor and Indus
try against 233 employers many
as in the entire year Of 1929. Many
of the prosecuted employers were
shown to have moved their plants into
Pennsylvania only few weeks earlier,
after laws more drastic than here had
been enacted in States in which they
formerly did business.
Complaints against sweatshops be-
gan in large numbers in the Spring
and attention was centered on them
by baby strike" of boys and girls
employed in Lehigh Valley mills in
April. The Legislature, before adjourn
ing at the beginning of May, author
lied a joint committee to investigate.
To this committee Gov Clifford Pin
chot named his wife, Mrs. Cornelia
Bryce Pinchot. who had joined the
baby strikers" picket lines
The committee has unearthed many
startling stories. Some employees work.
ing more than the legal maximum of
hours, were paid less than 81 week.

REACHING BOILING
POINT IN SESSIONS
Impeachment of State Co.
poration Commissioners
and Election Pending.
BY T. w. b. ANDERSON.

PHOENIX. Ariz.. July 1.-Arizonas 3
political pot is reaching the boiling
point as result Of two special sessions
Of the Legislature, impeachment of two
State corporation commissioners and
the pending special congressional elec-
ton
Adding to the already complicated
situation which has broken the usual
political quietness Of an Arizona Sum-
mer in off election years are reports Of
plans to recall Gov. B. B. Moeur and
at an election October g.
Starting with the resignation of Rep
resentative Lewis w. Douglas to become
President Roosevelt's Federal budget
director, the ball has been rolling fast,
taking with it everything that came in
sight.
Governor Steps In.
Hardly had Mrs Isabella Greenway.
Arizona Democratic national committee
woman, and Harlow Akers, Phoenix at
torney, announced their candidates. for
Douglas post in Congress than Gov.
Moeur stepped into the picture with
a call for a special session of the Legis-
lature.
The chief executive asked. and re-
ceived from the Legislature, four reve-
INCREASING measures intangl-
bles, sales and luxury taxes-to balance
the States budget and alleviate dis
tressed financial condition. The Gov
ernor estimated the amount of revenue
from operation of the bills would reach
more than 100000.
Clearing the revenue-raising program
from the calendar. the House of the
Legislature proceeded to impeach Amos
A. Belts, chairman, and Charles R.
Howe member of the State Corporation
Commission. Before the articles of i'm
peachments were filed with the Sen
ate Belts resigned. Howe will 60 to
trial July 18 before the Senate.
The men were charged with 'felonies,
high crimes, misdemeanors and mall
feasance" in office. Both are veteran
State officials. Belts is known ma
tionally. 1t was the first time in Ari-
zona'S history that public official had
been impeached.
Second Session Necessary.
It was necessary to call a second spe-
cial session Of the Legislature to set up
machinery for the impeachment trial.
During the first special session the
legislators set up machinery to allow
AriZonanS to vote on repeal of the
eighteenth amendment October 3, at
the same time Douglas successor is
named.
The congressional campaign activity
was increased with the announcement
OF Kirby Vidrine. former Louisiana
politician and friend of Senator Huey
r. Long, that he would be candidate.
His announcement brought forth
rumors that Long was planning to
sweep into Arizona in somewhat the
same manner he aided Senator Hattie
CaraVay in Arkansas
Politicians who have had time to take
their attention of the State affairs and
the Legislature appear to be divided in
their opinion on the congressional race.
The primary will be held August 8.
Mrs. Greenway and Akers appear to
be the strongest candidates. Akers op-
posed Senator Carl Hayden in the 1882
primary. Mrs. Greenway has a great
deal of support in various sections Of
the State because Of her close relation
ship with the President and his family.
