Libby Holds First
Labor Day Celebration
Editor of Labor News Main
Speaker; Complete Sports Pro-
gram Carried On.

Libby, Montana, staged its first La
Dor Day Celebration on the town ath-
letic field, last Monday. The program
began in the morning with sports
events and ended late in the night
with a dance. The sponsors Of the
program was the newly organized Lum-
Der Workers Union organized at pre-
sent under a Federal Labor Union
Charter. The President, Glen Z. No
lop, was chairman Of the committee on
arrangements.
The program began in the morning
with log saving and log splitting on
tests which we're exceedingly interest
ing. The winners in these two events
approached the records established in
such contests. In the afternoon a par
ade was staged, led by the Moose Lodge
Band. The parade went to the Ath-
letic field where the Editor Of the
Montana Labor News delivered the
leading address and the first Labor Ad-
dress ever given in that county. Fol
lowing the speaking program, a double
neaQeI Ddu game was prayed, LlDDy
winning from Half Moon and then los
ing to Boomers Ferry in the final game
of the series.
In the evening a series of interesting
boxing events was staged between
negro boys of the two c. c. c. Camps
located near Libby. Following the
boxing card a dance was held which
climaxed the days celebration.
Libby is becoming vitality interested
in the Union movement. While con-
ditions there have not been as bad as
they we're in Butte, the workers in the
lumber industry have just had a bare
existence. At present they are work
ing only half time and are trying to
negotiate an agreement with the Lum-
Der Company. After two sessions they
have gained nothing. President No
lop reports that they have the industry
IS per cent organized in Libby which
is very good considering the fact that
Unionism is something new in this dis
trict.

Press Lies
About CCC Dispute

HOOD RIVER, Ore.-(FP)-Stories
in the d%aily-press OF the country about
"toughs and alley rats" being expelled
from the CCC camp near here after
"ganging up" on Capt. Boender are
resented by the boys who know the
facts. Boender and Sheriff Edick
are trying to cover up, they charge.
Boender, a highly unpopular camp
dictator had fired a boy who was
found asleep on the job. Two OF the
boys friends asked permission to see
him off at the station and we're re-
fused. When one Of them jumped on
the truck taking the boy down Boen-
der pulled him off and slugged him.
The fellow hit back.
This brought dissatisfaction in the
camp to a focus end when what the
boys describe as a lousy breakfast was
served mex morning some of the boys
refused to work. Boender called the
sheriff and 81 were sent home.

LABOR SHOULD
DEMAND RIGHTS
SAYS MONOGRAM

In speaking at Butte's Labor Day
Celebration, Congressman Monaghan
said The Constitution should be read
by every jurist in its entirety, and its
Interpretation, if any Interpretation is
given based upon a specific phrase in
the Constitution, that should be from
the preamble which sets forth the very
purpose which the Fathers had in mind
TO promote the general welfare and
to secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and to our posterity'. The
Constitution is a flexible document and
the continuation Of it and OF the ma
ton depends upon the regulation OF
hours Of labor, higher wage scales, the
fixation of prices to prevent sharp and
u%nwarranted rises, and the establish
ment Of old age pensions, unemploy-
ment insurance and other security leg
islation. In a word the promotion Of
enonomic liberty. II we cannot do this
under the Constitution, then we must
change it; for it is patent that such
legislation is needed to put US perman-
emily back on our feet. The relief Of
the suffering OF millions of Americans
cannot and must not be stopped on the
ground that such worthy legislation is
unconstitutional. That was the order
of the day in the past; it must not be
today if America and real liberty, the
liberty to live, to breathe, to enjoy a
reasonable share of this worlds goods,
to feel a freedom from economic worry
is to continue. That must be the aim
Of American craftsmanship. For one,
| shall not rest content until that type
of legislation shall have been establish
ed.

Textile Strike Head
quarters Established

NEW YORK.-(FP)-"We are de-
termined to obtain union recognition, :"
said President Thomas F. Mcmahon
Of the United Textile Workers of
America as he left for Washington to
direct the cotton textile strike voted by
the U. T. w. A. convention in New
York City, The strike, expected to
start on Sept. l, will pull II about
100000 in the cotton, wooden, silk and
rayon industries, it is estimated.
Four regional strike headquarters

been put in charge at Greenville, S. c.;
Horace Rivere at Providence, R. l.;
Joseph White at Cohoes, N. Y; and
William Kelly at Philadelphia. Francis
J. German, first vice-president of the
union, will be in Washington to CO.
ordinate the activities of the regional
offices.
A conference with Pres. VIM. Green

Several thousand OF our men have
been discharged in violation OF Section

against our officers and other mem
bers."
"The only one, in my opinion, who
can make the employers discuss these
problems with their workers is Presi-
dent Roosevelt" Mcmahon stated. He
expressed a hope that the president
would intervene personally in influence
ing employers to arbitrate with their
employees before federal representa-
tives. Only such action, Mcmahon
has indicated, will avert the strike.

MINING NEWS

The Asarco Mining Co. at Vanadium,
New Mexico, has operated with the g.
hour day and 5-day week since Feb
|ruary l, 1882. Describing the results,
Supt. c. S. Elayer states; "On the
whole, after two years and five months
of the 6-hour day in underground
mine work, we feel that the advantages
are decidedly in its favor, and can fairly
recommend a fair trial Of it to anyone
engaged in underground mining
Mining Journal Note The copper
companies, however bitterly opposed a
6-hour day in the copper code, even
though it would leave them all in the
same competitive position as under the
S-hour day.
= T. >
Summarizing the first half OF 1884,
the Arizona Copper Tariff Commission
reports it to be the most satisfactory
copper operations since 1880. In ad-
dftion to the fact that the copper code
creates an embargo against the sale
OF foreign copper in the United States,
the industry has benefited by the dras-
tically reduced production costs, made
possible by the increased returns from
precious metals and the elimination OF
inventory losses. The Journal further
states that the copper surplus in the
u. S. had been reduced to $4,000 tons
on June / and a price OF l0c a pound
is expected loon.
=
Judging from the amount OF cement
being sent down into the Badger mine,
there must be some truth to the report
that the Company is building concrete
bulkheads on all levels. This would in
dicate that they are unable to isolate
the fire and are trying to protect the
shaft at all costs. Ole Hughes must
be having his trouble. Local miners
with experience in fighting mine fires
have been offered $500 a day to go
on the Hill.
The Miners Union has undertaken
to find out what is delaying the pro-
posed new building at Galen Sanitar-
ium. This is a P. w. A. project which
has cleared all legal hurdles here in
Montana but is held up for some rea-
son in Washington, D. c. Congress
man Monaghan and Senator Wheeler
have promised to assist in getting this
much-needed building under way as
soon as possible.
Many Butte miners suffering from
~silicosis or tuberculosis, or both, are
badly in need Of the special treatment
and care which can best be given al
Galen. The institution is always crow
ded to capacity. The American Legion
at their state convention also passed
a resolution stressing the need Of an
addition to Galen and urging the pro-
per authorities to get the project I'M
der way at the earliest possible date.
