UNION OPPOSES A
PHONE CODE

WASH1NGTON-(FP) = Vigorous
protest against wage and hour pro-
visions of the telephone code, was reg
istered by the Init. Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers at code hearings
for the Bell system and independent
companies. The Brotherhood also ur-
ged the inclusion in the code of a
paragraph against the company UNI
ions which prevail over most of the
industry.
Minimum wages ranging from 81
to SIS a week, according to the size
of exchanges, were proposed in the
codes submitted. But not content with
these low wages, the companies at the
hearings put forward an amendment
for a minimum of $40 for learners, re-
CARELESS of the size of their
ity.
The code hours proposed are DO a
week, which is more than the average
hours worked in the telephone indus
try for some time past. Hours work
ed have ranged from 36.7 to 1871 per
week, according to government fig
ures covering the period from October,
1882, to December, 1888. F. B. Mac
Kinnen, representing independent COM
panies, asked for a 48-hour week in
smaller towns, as against a uniform
40-hour week.
The union contentious on hours and
wages received support from Marie
Correll, representing Mary Anderson,
head of the Women's Bureau, Dept. of
Labor. Studies Of the bureau show
that "the wage and hour provisions
are entirely inadequate" she said.
''The minimum wages represent lower
wages than have been paid in the past
in the telephone industry and are low
err than those for other industries"
Many company union representa-
tives were brought to Washington for
the hearings. No dues are paid in the
usual telephone company union. A
typical constitution of one of them
contains the provision that "all prop
er and necessary expenses shall
be borne by the company" Expenses
of company union delegates in Wash
ington were paid by the companies, ii
was admitted.
The l. B. E. w., in a brief submit
ted by Edward D. Bieretz, put for
ward the following recommendations
for inclusion in the code: A mini
mum wage of $40 a week "for work.

MINERS RETURN
TO WORK

FAIRMONT, w. Va.-Settlement of
the Northern West Virginia coal wage
dispute sent about rs per cent of the
10000 miners back to work.
The mines had been idle since April
l, when an amendment was made to
the bituminous coal code eliminating
the 24-cent wage differential the dis
trict held over the Western Pennsyl-
vania area.
General Johnson, Recovery Admin
.istrator, denied the operators appeal
and ordered a minimum basic wage of
SO a day put into effect. It is claim
however, that rates for loading and
cutting still give the district a slight
advantage over the rates in the Pitts
burgh area.

zle for you to assemble in about an
hour, you'll be able to fly back to the

YEAH" said Casey, land tomorrow

Condon-Meteor is sittin'. There's a

Come on. Hunny," said. Lets take
"stick round" Casey advised. 1.-THE
pooch don't feel like exercise"
That was true enough. Dinkel was
having a bad time doing what no good
sport does in the air if he can hold it
until he lands. The natural wave was
out OF his tail and there was a sag to
his fuselage. Knife-face began to take
down wires and mess the steering gear
without damaging it.
Hunny asked: do you think the stu
dio will buy me in, Jack?"
"Of course" I told her, land quick"
Knife-face looked round from where
he was busy making my ship unsafe for
democracy until secure for air again.

miles from the roof Of that mesa.
But the rotten inference did more.
The hint that Hunny might be in dan

hitch about her ransom showed me just
what my angle on her was and had
been for some time. Until that moment
I wouldn't have owned up even to my
self that I was all melted up in this

VetOes One Cent
Tax on Cigarettes

Gov. Frank H. Cooney recently We
toed the cigaret tax bill passed at the
special legislative session.
The tax would have imposed a l cent
per package levy on all cigaret sales
for one year.
This bill virtually would have null
lifted the measure passed earlier by the
assembly which lowers the tax for
handling cigarets from $25 to IS per
year." the governor explained to the
United Press.
1T places the tax on the consumer,
and I am unalterably opposed to such
procedure. I do not believe in taxing
a Decent package of cigarets an extra
cent when it already carries a tax of
6 cents, especially when the legislature
declined to place a lucent tax on q
100-pound sack of sugar selling for Sc.
"The tax would have made necessary
the opening of every carton Of cigarets
and the fixing OF a stamp on the Gel
lophane wrappers. If the bills pro-
ponents had desired to be fair, they
should have placed a tax on all to-
baccoS."
This was the second bill vetoed by
the governor during the special ses-
sion, which adjourned recently. The
other measure was one which would
have slashed the salaries of state liquor
store employees.

AN EARLY STORY
OF A. B. HAMMOND
LUMBER MAGNATE WHO RECENT
LY DIED ESCAPED INDIANS DUR
ING PIONEER DAYS

Death Of Andrew b. Hammond,
California lumber magnate, recalls to
those who have heard the story from
the lips Of the late Joe Butch, Of
Bryant, Hammond's coming to Mon
tana in 1866 and at least one Of his
skirmishes with Indians.
Hamomnd, Butch and four other
Civil war veterans were working their
way west as deck hands on the steam
ship, Trevor, which was booked for Fort
Benton and was carrying a cargo of
stamp mill machinery and whisky.
About a mile from the present town.
site OF Frazer, the Trevor struck a snag
and finally broke in two. The ma
chinery was dragged ashore and some
of the whisky, but much of it is be-
lieved still to be buried beneath the
shifting sands Of the river bed. The
six young men were stranded and be-
came wood choppers in order to make
a scant living. .
Many. Indians were u%nfriendly and
dangerous and wood chopping was a
hazardous occupation. Finally the. In
dams set out to exterminate the wood
choppers. One Of the men was killed.
Joe Butch escaped by swimming the
river and the four other white men,
including Andrew Hammond, disap-
peared.
Sixty years passed. Joe Butch still
lived at Frazer. One day he got a let
ter from Hammond, a wealthy Cali
fornia lumberman, urging Joe. to come
to the coast, and telling him anything
he wanted would be his. For some rea-
son, known only to himself, Joe refus-
ed to go. The following Christmas
Hammond sent Butch a check for $3.50
and wrote, Buy yourself a cigar for
Christmas, Joe."

LIQUOR STORES
TURN IN MONEY
$4,000 REPORTED AS GROSS RE-
TURNS OF FIRST ~ DAYS, SEC
RETARY ANNOUNCES

In operation for only ~ days, the
Montana liquor control system did a
gross business up to Jan. II Of $54,-.
1885, Ray C. McLanahan, control
board secretary, announced a few
days ago.
This included liquors and 81 purchas-
er permits.
The first four stores of the state
wide system opened Dec. % at Helena,
Butte, Missoula and Great Falls, the
fifth opened recently at Billings. These
first units, in lieu Of an appropriation,
were financed under authority Of the
liquor control act of the regular legis-
lative assembly permitting the board
to incur an Indebtedness of SIS, 900 to
launch operations.
Had the stores been properly stocked
from the time Of opening, the secretary
said, h total sales to date would have
been doubled. At the outset individual
sales were limited to two quarts but the
restriction since has been removed.
Due to demands incident to the legis-
lative session which closed recently the
board meetings have been limited, Nc
Lanahan added, but with the return
from the east of Attorney General Ray
mond T. Maggie, plans will be perfected,
he said for the immediate opening of
subsequent stores at Miles City, Glas-
gov, Havre, Lewistown and Kalispell,
Maggie, Gov. Cooney and Secretary of
State Samuel w. Mitchell comprise the
control board.
The five stores now in operation, &C
cording to the secretary, are compar-
atively well stocked with three addi-
tional carloads of imported liquors,
wines and champagnes now enroute to
Helena for distribution. In addition a
carload of wines is enroute from CAL
ifornia.
The control board, he explained,
waited until the legislature only re-
Gently approved 100000 approx. iation
before making additional extensive
purchases. Advent of the additional
federal tax which increased prices to
retail purchasers, said the secretary,
had a tendency to somewhat retard
sales for a time.
Butte led the other states but Helena
was close behind, with Great Falls
showing the third largest gross bus
mess.
The following table shows individual
store sales including both liquors and
permits during the 81 day period:
