This contractor is now paying 40
cents per hour to the rock diggers,

work 40 hours per week.
You might ask why it is that
only 40 GEMS an hour is paid when
the legal scale Of wages on pub
lie work in the State of Montana
is to BE not less than so cents per
hour. But don't ask me. The
hocus-pocus and skulduggery going
on is too much for one man to
keep account of. But, ask your
government, ask your State, tell
them you want to know. ard have
a right to know the reason why an
outside contractor can come in here
and violate all rules laid down by
the State.
Tell them you are not going o
stand for it, ard that YOU demand
an investigation at once. Tell them
that you absolutely insist that not
less tina so cents per hour, be paid,
and that eating and sleeping quar-
tiers be provided for the men while
working.

tractsr has threatened to import
Mexicans for the job. We have no
objections to Mexicans getting a
Job, the poor devils need it prob
ably worse than we do. What we
do object to is Mexicans being I'M
ported for the sole purpose of low

people of Montana should not per-
nit anything of the kind.
i is also reported that registra-

little or no atten' ion to. Several
of the men quitting the job are
still carrying their cards. People
as far away as California are put
to work and no questions asked.
There is plenty of room for an
investigation and the people Of
Montana should insist that this is
being done at once.
