SO safe and unsuitable" that only
20 life boats and RATS were car
ried for her 2,340 passengers-one
life craft for about every 200 souls.
The Moro Castle, however, car
ried enough life boats to meet just
such an emergency that befell it in
the early, gale-swept hours of Sep
TENDER 8 off the New Jersey coast.
That lesson had been learned.
Another result of the Titanic's
loss was development of the Coast
and Geodetic surveys present sys-
tenn of charting daily movement
of ice in ship lanes. The Titanic
collided with an iceberg and sank
quickly.
When the IlUamc went down the
S. S. Californian stood only 10
miles away-less than a hours run
but her wireless operator had
gone to sleep and the frantic appeal
went unheeded.
Travelling Too Fast
Investigation of the sinking of
the Titanic resulted in the following
statement:
THE Senate Investigating Com
mittee agrees that the Titanic was
travelling too fast through the ice
fields after having received at least
three warnings.
1.-THE Senate Investigating Com
mittee agrees that the S. S. Cali
fornia violated all dictates of hui
mainly, international usage, and
the requirements of law by not
answering distress signals.
1.-THE Senate Investigating Com
mittee agrees that the ship eTi-
tanic) was under-equipped.
THE Senate Investigating Com.
rnittee agrees that the wireless OPP
orator of the S. S. Carpathia was
not duly vigilant in handling mes
sages after the accident.
Therefore, the Senate Investi-
eating Committee recommends:
81. That the bulkhead sys-
tenn of ip-building be i'm
proved.
"2. That all ships carrying
mere than 100 passengers car
ry two searchlights.
"3. That every ship have suf-
ficient Iife-saving equipment.
"a. And that every ship have
a wireless operator constantly
on duty"
New Safety Rules?
When the Moro Castle put to
sea, presumably she had complied
with these requirements to the
letter. Yet, according to testimony
of survivors, some of the crew
showed ineptitude in the handling
of lifeboats.
One point, in particular, the fed
eral committee investigating the
loss OF the Moro Castle is seek
ing to determine is why the dis
tress signal was delayed so long
after fire was known to have brok-
en- out. Perhaps new regulations
will pave the way to greater safety.
And President Roosevelt has sug-
gested that congress enact legis-
lation to sweep wooden passenger
ships from the seas. The MORO
Castle was not wooden liner, but
much of her luxurious furnish
ings we're of wood and other in
flammable materials.

PICTURE AGAIN
Edward. Small Pro du c e S
The Count Of Monte
Cristo" for Talkies
BY ROBIN COoNs

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, october l.
While most of Hollywood was agi-
tating itself over censor troubles
and morals movements, little
red-haired producer named Edward
Small was spending money on an
old favorite that has reached cellu-
loid at least twice before.
There was no fanfare about the
production, and in fact it was fin
tshed before most OF Hollywood
knew it was being done. Hence
there was excitement when pre-
viewers assembled for look at the
new talkie version Of 1.-THE Count
of Monte Cristo."
The excitement was during ana
after the showing, not before.
Small's principal contribution to
recent film audiences had been
such pictures as Il Cover the
Waterfront" and Joe Palooka. .
And Dumas long-lived novel had
been screened before, in silent
form. CSome of us remember John
Gnbert's triumph in the story when
Fox did it. 1t was the role that
first resuscitated him as an actor.
Later he slumped again, to be re-
vived by THE Big Paradox

LOTS OF THRILLS

Like the novel, the picture con-
times to offer thrills. Small puts
his own money into his productions.
and from this one it is inevitable
that he will get it all back and
more.
i'm more than two hours running
time--only a "super-super colossal
can run that long and get by with
it nowadays-the director Rowland
v. Lee, contrives to pack all the
suspense and thrills and complica-
tions of plot that distinguish the
novel. Yet it is. a smoothly told
story.
The lonely prisoner of the Cha
teau diff is portrayed by Robert
Donat, the young English actor
who impressed in Henry the VIII. =
His performance, distinguished if
for no other reason than his failure
to throw up his arms as he de-
claims 1.-THE world is mine" is
capped by difficult and protracted
courtroom scenes at the end in
which he confounds the last of his
enemies.

MEDIATOR HOLDS MEETING
WITH GENERAL COMMITTEE

R. C. jacobson, Federal agent rep
~resenting the National Labor Board
arrived in Butte yesterday. Mr. ia
cobson's presence here is the result
of requests by the unions of the adj
ministration at Washington to send
a representative of the government
to Butte to investigate the conditions
in Montana and the causes leading up
to the controversy that now exists be
tween the employees and the Anacon-
da Copper Mining Company.
Delegates of the various units of
the international Union of the Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers union met
with Mr.. jacobson yesterday at the
Finlen hotel. Nothing definite was
arrived at in the meeting except that
a general survey of the situation was
made during the discussion.

FEAR SALES RE-
SISTANCE TO
r PRICES

WASHINGTON-(FP)-Tha mini
mum code wages tend to become a
maximum is the opinion of half the
chambers Of commerce in the country
who replied to a QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States. Widely varying
answers were received on the ques-
lions dealing with the effects of the
NRA, but the general sentiment was
that businessmen had benefited by the
trade-practice provisions of codes
dealing with competition.
Sales resistance on account of high
er prices worries most of the cham
bers, according to national headquar-
ters. "All the responses received
from such states as Kansas reported
sales resistance, in some instances
with fears of a buyers strike locally"
says the report.

UNION EMPLOYEES ON HILL Walk OUT IN BODY
5000 MEN ARE INVOLVED In BUTTE
SMELTERMEN WALK OUT
RUMORED STATE OFFICIAL HIRING
GUNNER FOR THE CORPORATION

AT 8 a. m. last Tuesday morning
the last shift of union men employed
for the Anaconda Company walked
off the job in protest against starya-
ton wages and deplOrable working
conditions in the Butte mines. Not
one union man stayed ON the job. In
addition to the union men many Of the
foremen, most of the shift bosses and
a majority of the unOrganized walk
ed out with them. The unanimity of
action on the part of the workers was
better than had ever been expected
considering the newness of the Miners
organization.
Further action in the strike will be
determined after the unions involved
have met with Jacobsen of the Nation
al Labor Board who will arrive in
Butte Wednesday.
STATE OFFICIAL INVOLVED
Word has been received by the La
Dor News that one of the state Offic-
ials has been hiring gunner for the
company. Men have reported in Butte
with orders on state stationery, telling
them to report for duty, assuring a
wage of $500 per day and board and
room. This same official is reported
as having been in Butte, even meet
ing the prospective gunner at the
depot as they report for duty. If the
miners were paid the $500 per day
they would not now be striking as
that is the wage they have asked and
Montana labor news., 1934-05-10

refused to comply with this request.
Drive for Shorter Hours Imperative.
Labor believes that, notwithstand-
ing this refusal, a concentrated drive
should now be made to compel through
the use of forceful methods if neces-
sary, an immediate reduction in the
hours Of labor. There is no other
remedy available. There is lone at
hand.
industrial leaders, while assuming
a negative position opposing a further
reduction in the hours of labor in or
der to overcome unemployment, Of
fer no plan or suggest no practical
measure through which the remaining
ten million idle workers can be given
employment.
at must be clearly evident that
the durable goods industries cannot
increase their output or their volume
of sales until unemployment has been
more largely overcome. There must
be a market for durable goods before
they can be sold. Such a market can
be created by returning the millions
who are now idle back to work.
JObless Army Means Recovery
Failure.
eve cannot permit the National Re-
covery program to stand still. Ten
million idle workers who have suffer-
ed for almost four years, with those
dependent upon them, present a most
grave social and economic problem. If
we stop now, the whole National Re-
covery program will fall.
Labor wishes to see the National
Recovery program made a complete
success. In order to achieve this pur-
pose labor will continue to drive for
ward with all the power it possesses
in the fight for a reduction in the
hours Of labor and an increase in
wages in order to create work oppor-
tunities for the millions Of idle work
ers who have not yet been given an
opportunity to earn a decent living"
Montana labor news., 1934-05-10

out of that wage they will board and
room themselves. A report of this
officials action is being made to the
governor and the evidence will be pre-
scented at that time.
STRIKEBREAKERS MANNING
PUMPS
Strikebreakers are now manning the
pumps at all the mines. They were
hauled to the mines from the barracks
at A a. m. in large trucks, protected
by cars of gunner. They were kept
under canvass in order to pro-
tect their identity until the regular
pumpmen walked off the job. These
men will live on the mining property
until the strike is settled which may
be a long or short stay. Reports are
that most of the strikebreakers are
imported, the company being unable
to hire sufficient local men to act as
strikebreakers despite the great
amount of unemployment in Butte.
There are some local men but their
numbers are few.
No definite news can be given out
regarding the trend of affairs until
after the arrival of Federal Represen-
tative Jacobsen Of the National Labor
Board. As he will arrive too late for
this weeks addition we cannot give
full details at present. Further de-
velopments will be given the public
either through special bulletins or the
channels of the Labor News.

HITS RICH'S CHILD
LABOR BILL

WASHINGTON-(FP)-Th child

freak bill of The worst sort" accord
ing to Sec. Of Labor Frances Perkins.
The bill would forbid child labor under
the age of IS, specify a wage rate
at that age and provide for elaborate
machinery of enforcement.
Miss Perkins pointed out that Rich
is a manufacturer, manager of the
Woolrich, Pa, Wooden Mills and di-
rector of the Chatham Water Co., the
Pearce Manufacturing Co. and other
concerns. Her implication seemed to
be that there are more ways than

with
ten million jobless workers and the
wholesale refusal of employers car
rying the Blue Eagle insignia Of the
NRA to adopt the recommendation
made by President Roosevelt and
General johnson for a general re-
duction in the length of the work week
and an equally general increase in
wages, William Green, president Of
the American Federation Of Labor,
declared that the time had come for
organized labor to mobolize its eco
nomic power to compel the reaction
aires who own and control American
industry to cut hours and raise pay
Immediately in accordance with the
program Of the Nations Chief Execu-
tive and the Recovery Administrator.
Ten million jobless workers, he said,
means the failure of the entire Re-
covery program.
The text of Mr.. Green's statement
follows:
Codes Leave Millions JObless.
"The National Recovery program
has accomplished a great deal, but
there remains much to do before it
will achieve it's avowed purpose to
! overcome unemployment and restore
purchasing power.
Somewhere between three and
four million unemployed have been
absorbed into industry through the
development and application of in
dustrial codes of fair practice apple
able to the major industries.
"There are still more than ten mil
lion unemployed. The completion of
the industrial codes of fair practice
for remaining miscellaneous indus
! tries will not create work opportuni-
ties for this vast army of idle work
ers. Something more must be done
if the administration is to succeed in
it's efforts to bring about complete
National Recovery.
at is the opinion of labor and la
Dor representatives that a further
substantial reduction in the hours of
labor must be brought about imme-
diately.
Employers Refuse to Reduce Hours.
"The drive against unemployment
has proceeded upon the theory that it
could only be overcome through a re-
duction in the hours of labor and
through increases in wages.
'"That rule has been followed by
those in charge of the administration
of the National Recovery Act in the
origination and application of indus
trial codes of fair practice.

johnson realized this economic fact
