Gan Old Saw"

We have an inquiry for the origin
Of the expression "old saw" to describe
q story or joke of ancient vintage
"Is this connected with the saw which
cuts" asks the reader, with the idea
that there is something cutting about
these old gags?"
Strange as it may seem. the "old
saw" which we regard as modern slang
has legitimate derivation all its own,
and is not slang at all.
We have it from the Old English
Save" which is from the Anglo-Saxon
"sagu." related to "secgan." to say! So
our "old saw" comes from the same
root as the dignified saga" the epic
tale or legend.

Amundsen and his men found their

On some days a journey of Is miles

were not content with the amount OF
food. Leather articles had to be kept
out of their reach when halts were

ton was served on the city council in
Columbus by 1000 members of the

ed the council meeting.
After 40 minutes of speeches, in
which eyewitnesses gave details of the
police cruelty, the council voted to call
for "a complete Investigation" of the
affair by Police Director Curtis Will
liams.
"The police acted like ~gangsters
and tyrants," said Arnold Johnson, or
ganizer for the league. 1--WE demand
that the council declare its intention
to refuse to aid future evictions and
that it call upon landlords to cease
evictions." No action was taken on
this.
Bill Reich, Rollo Lambert and Mrs.
Jane Hyser were battered over the
heads by police clubs, the council was
told. After Reich had been knocked
unconscious, one of three cops who
had been beating him turned him over

Brother Pickering of the BARRIERS
International was a welcome visitor at
the last meeting of the Council. He
gave a splendid talk on buying the
union label and asked labor to give
the local BARRIERS every of sup
port available in their fight against
unfair shops.
In speaking of the NRA, as he has
seen it work, Brother Pickering stated
that the workers will only get what
they are able to take, under the pres
ent NRA set-up. He urged unions to
get busy and get their share Of the
NRA benefits and also urged unions
to engage in wholesale organizing
campaigns among all classes Of work
ers. Pickering said that during the
past week, 20 beauty shops were or
gained in Great Falls, something
thought impossible a year ago.
We are always glad to have Pick

Industrial Employment Increases, But
Heavy Dismissals by Government

WASHINGT0N.-The failure Of
both the Government and the owners
of private industry to establish poll
cies necessary for the radical reduc-
ton of the number of unemployed and
wage rates to bring about equally
drastic increases in the buying power
of employed workers was emphasized
by William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in his
current report on the unemployment
situation and the actual wage con-
dition of the workers who have jobs.
Pointing out that industrial employ
ers hired only 100000 unemployed
workers during February while the
Federal Government dismissed 100000
from CWA projects, Mr.. Green de-
clared that although the gains in en-
ployment in the producers-goods in
dustries indicate that accumulated
buying power is taking effect, the
record of workers income gains for
February is not encouraging.

He came into Butte to stop the at

the dealers have not had the price of

to pay more than ten cents per pack.
James also announced that the AK

This cigarette is the size of four regu-
lar cigarettes and can be cut to nor

The new Federal Relief Program

mass meeting held at the Union Hall

a very interesting talk upon the con-
ditions leading up to the need of this
relief program and also in what man
ner the different size families would
be budgeted so as to take care of their
actual needs. He emphasized the
fact that more important than the
immediate present relief program is
