Present plans contemplate that
other thousands OF dependent
women will be employed in conf
munity offices which have been
forced to curtail their payrolls be-
cause OF dwindling tax receipts.
Wages of these women would be
met from federal and local funds
set aside for unemployment relief.
One of the questions taken up to-
day by Hopkins and Mrs. Wood
ward was whether money should
come from the new civil works
organization or the regular federal
emergency relief administration.
All agencies of the government
have been asked to prepare lists
OF research projects which could
be financed from emergency funds
and on which jobless women tech
nicians could be employed.
Mrs. Woodwards staff was re-
eeiving recommendation from
ficld representatives for state wom-
ems relief administrators. Women
and those for other states are ex-
pected to be named shortly.

WASHINGTON-(F. P.)-Senator

week in private industrial employ
ment in this country will be futile
as a means of restoring industrial
activity and pulling the millions Of
unemployed out Of their misery, I'M
less Congress adds to it a guaranty

it is merely a ~legalization of the Hoo

Such was the verdict passed upon this
measure Jan. 10 by witnesses for
both capital and labor, at hearings
before the Norris subcommittee Of
the Senate judiciary committee. The
spokesman for capital were two en-

Butte Typo Union
Mourns Passing of
Old-Time Member

George C. Peck, old-time western
printer and longtime member of the
international Typographical Union,
passed away at st. James hospital
Wednesday, Jan. IS. He had been III
but a matter of a few weeks. His
many friends in Montana and the
West mourn the passing of n who
helped to build the great West from
virgin territory to the proportions it
has reached.
Funeral services for Mr.. Peck were
held from the Daly-Shea mortuary
chapel Friday afternoon, with the Rev.
Greene weld officiating. Music for the
services was provided by Fred Harvey
at the piano, and William Harris, who
sang. Interment took place at Mount

From his hene in Iowa, Mr.. Peck,
while still a boy, migrated to Colo
RADIO. From there he removed to Arl-
IONA, where he eventually settled in
Tombstone, while that city was in Its
infancy. In 1883, but a few years
after silver and gold were discovered
near Tombstone, Mr.. Peck assumed

Mayor McTaggart's
Labor Record Shown

Organized labor has no better friend
in Montana than Mayor McTaggart
of Butte. Handicapped by an in
herited municipal debt that has COM
PEELED the city to do business on a
cash basis, confronted by a constantly
diminishing revenue, he has neverthe-
less shown a consistent desire to play
fair with the employees of the city.
AS a member of organized labor from
the days of his youth he reflects in
his present-day attitude toward his
fellow man those lessons he learned
while battling for the union principle
of "a fair days pay for a fair days
work"
Archie McTaggart was born a mem
Der of the working class. He has never
faltered in his loyalty to OF his SYM
pathy for those who toll. He was
born in Massachusetts, in 1884. At the
g of 10 che brought his parents to
Montana and selected Missoula as
best adapted to the needs of a lad with
ambition to acquire an education," as
some of his friends put it. In 1908
at the age of 10, we find him a men,
Der of the Missoula Clerks Union
and the records are said to show that
he was regular in his attendance anc
energetic in promoting union interests
In 1905 he moved to Butte and i'm
mediately joined the clerks union
where he also showed a laudible de-
sire to do his duty as a union man
His services were so well appreciated
that he was soon nominated for the
office of business agent and made
most creditable race for a compare
lively new member.
In 1908 he transferred to the butch
ers' union, of which organization hi
remained a member until he engaged
in business for himself.
During a business life of 18 years
duration Mr.. McTaggart established
as good a record as an employer al
he previously enjoyed as a membe,
of organized labor. Throughout thes'
many ear as a member of the groul
Of wholesale dealers in Butte he ha
always paid union wages-or NOR
than union wages-to his employees
Not only has he been fair from a wag'
standpoint, but he likewise has en-
joyed the reputation of being decen
in his treatment of employees.
He showed fine spirit in 1928 whel
he accompanied President Patrlcl
German of the Amalgamated Meat
cutters and Butcher Workmen o
North America to Ogden and, in tn
course of 48 hours, formed a uniol
with over 200 members. He carrie
a letter from the secretary OF tn
Meatcutters International Union o
North America thanking him for hi
services in establishing the Ogde'
m~eatcutters' union.

EIGHT=H0UR DAY ASKED FOR MALE CLERKS
Council Committee Reports
Discrimination in Admin
istering Relief; Protest Is
Made Against Police Bill.

The Butte Clerks Union asked the
Central Council to aid the clerks in
securing the application Of the eight
hour law to their craft. 1t was stated
that many clerks work overtime, and
in food stores the average day Of
work is nine hours. The clerks do
not want overtime but would prefer
that this work be given unemployed
members of their union. The Council
endorsed the recommendations of the
clerks and promised to do all in its
power to obtain such legislation.
Committee Reports Discrimination.
The committee appointed by the
Council to investigate reports of dis
elimination in the administration of
relief, reported that such discrimina-
ton took place. Those in charge of
the relief stated that they have al
ways Disseminated against Com
munists and that they would con-
tinue to do SO, despite the fact that
the Communist party is a legal or
~ganization and that the names of
its candidates for office are printed
on the ballots of Montana. The relief
heads stated that the Communists
Disseminated against them and that
they intended to continue their policy
Of retaliation. Upon questioning these
men, they admitted that they had dis
eliminated against Communists long
| before the hunger march to Helena
took place. They also used the ex.
ample of the governments treatment
of the Bonus Army in making their
defense. Since half of the relief funds
used in Butte comes from the Fed
eral government, the report of the
committee, along with the resolution
of the Unemployed Council was or
dered sent to the Federal government.
| Council Opposes Two Proposed Bills.
The Council went on record as OPP
posing two bills presented the state
legislature. One bill intends to force
all who receive relief to do labor in
return for that relief, wherever the
state or county decides that the labor
should be done. The second bill is
the proposed Highway Constabulary
bill. This bill is nothing but the old
state "Cossack" bill in a new dress.
Labor has opposed this bill before and
should do all in it's power to defeat
it now. When police receive their sal
airy from fines collected, no man with
a dollar in his pocket would be safe
one the highway. Speed traps would
be set up everywhere, and as is done
in other states the police would work
hand in hand with corrupt justices in
mulcting the driver for all they could
get. In the second place this bill
would provide a loophole for a strong

THE STORY
OF Woman Wage Farmers
Told in u. S. Pamphlet

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-"Wom-
en- at Work"-the story of the
changes that have taken place in
woman's work during the past 100
years-has been issued by the FEEDER
al Women's Bureau for distribution
at the department of labor exhibit at
the Century of Progress Exposition,
Chicago.
Written by Eleanor Nelson, this So
page pamphlet describes the part that
women have played in the develop
ment of the industrial and commercial
world.
The pamphlet describes how, with
the coming of the factory, and later
the typewriter and the filing system.
women came to seek work outside
their homes, and how their wages,
at first considered as extra spending
money, have continued lower than
mems for similar work throughout
their work history
1t outlines how the war accelerated
the breakdown of prejudice against
women in industry, and as men left
factory and office to go over seas,
women took their places at work
bench and office desk. 1t describes
how the jobs taken by women in the
factories have been mainly the un-
skilled and lower paid classes, and out
lines the long and difficult fight that
women have made for better work
ing conditions.
The history of the Negro and the
immigrant woman in American indus
try is outlined. Closing with picture

this season was the Minot Presbyte-
rian with 239 pupils.
"Sixty-nine schools" Armstrong
stated, "were held In the open coun-
try. These schools were held for two
weeks"
these schools do two things un-
usually well-first, they teach Bible in
a very effective way; and, second,
they do more than any other agency
in the development Of the devotional
life of the children"
Members of the state committee In
charge Of this work are: G. A. Arm
strong, Adelaide Phillips, Mrs. G. A..
McGregor. L. F. scatterday, H. A.
Casselman, all Of Fargo, and Mrs. A.

said. North Dakota has led all Of the
states, not In the number OF schools
held. but In the percentage Of chill
dren enrolled In the vacation Bible
schools.
The number Of churches conduct
ing schools was: Presbyterian 70,
