That conference engaged in by Cover nor Cross and city officials some days ago brought out the information from our chief executive that additional town aid from the state is out of the question without raising present taxes or adding few new ones to the list. Both, to our mind, are out of the question, but we are not entirely convinced that cities and, towns should not share in more equal pro- portion in the funds. Some days ago tax survey revealed how disproportionate were certain grants. That's usually the case where government aid is distributed. It's the same way when Uncle Sam gives out federal road money. You won't find states, like Connecticut, where traffic de- mands the most of roads, getting the larg- est grants. You won't find New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport or Waterbury get ting the largest proportional grants in many instances. Ali of which makes one wonder if the complete revision of our tax system shouldn't include some manipula- tion of state-aid funds, grants, and the like. We're willing to abide by the theory that nothing should be authorized until we know where the money is coming from, but we do think equality is demanded, even if we can't get it in representation.

The New Labor Charter

The settlement of the automobile labor controversy may be the most important industrial event since the recovery drive started. It is obviously compromise. But it may develop that everybody won capital, labor and government. For if 1t proves to be practical, all will benefit The principles established in this settle ment concern not merely the automobile industry, but the whole field covered by MIRA. If it works in one industry, it will presumably be applied to the rest.
 Foremost among the principles in ques- tion are these: That employers will bar gain collectively, and confer on all mutu- ally important matters, with freely chosen representatives of labor; That representa- tion of labor for this purpose is not re- stricted to single organization, whether "outside union" or company union, but that minorities may be represented on labor committees according to numbers,
 That there will be no discrimination against employees because of their labor affiliations; That in hiring or releasaing employees "such human relationships as married men with families shall come first, and then seniority, individual skill and efficient service" Humane employ. CTS have often acted in this manner, but CIIe uSual pTdCLlCe HhS OeeH W put VAAA- ciency ahead of humanity.
 The public hopes the President is right when he says that in this settlement "we have charted new course in social engi- neering." It is time for the machine age to apply sound engineering to social as well as mechanical problems - to masses of people as well as mass production. Only thus can our industrial society be saved from destruction by it's own machine.

PARADE
GREAT SUCCESS
Continued from page y

mated their time and talent to the sue
cess OF the demonstration.
The parade was a huge success in
every respect. A counting machine
counted some $500 in the parade be-
fore it stuck. After the machine
stopped working hundreds of workers
passed by the counter. To say hat
1000 workers marched is a %conserva-
tive estimate. A Seattle visitor
standing by the editor, stated that the
Butte demonstration was far larger
and more spectacular than that staged
in Seattle.
This parade created a statewide in
terest. Men came from Helena and
elsewhere to see the parade. Miles
Romney, State Director of the NRA
made a special trip to Butte to see
the spectacle.
This procession was IN indication of
what might happen if the Unions Of
Butte decided to call a general strike.
One-third OF Butte's population was in
the line OF march and over two-thirds
Of the population OF Silver Bow
County was represented.
The pageant also made one stop and
think of what might happen if this
army marched to the polls at election
time and showed the solidarity at the
ballot box that they showed on pa
rade. If the workers were as solidly
organized at election time as they are
in a strike there would need be no
strikes, no starvation wages and no Is
million unemployed in our land.
The Sponsors and Leaders of the
parade are to be complimented ON the
work they put forth to make it a sue
cess. They are to be complimented on
the huge turnout despite rumors and
propaganda to the effect that the pa
rade had been called off at the re-
quest of the Mayor and Governor.
These were ~groundless rumors and an
effort on the part OF the Company to
break the solidarity Of Unionism in
Silver Bow County.

JOHNSON FIRES
UNION LEADER

WASHINGTON. -FP)-I don't
have to explain to anyone why l hire
or fire. If any Of you become insubor-
dinate you'll get fired too"
So spoke a hardboiled boss to a
union delegation protesting the dis
missal OF one Of their fellow workers.
Thousands Of open shop bosses have
adopted this ont in fighting trade
unionism's demand for protection
against unfair discharge. But the
news in this case was that this par
ticular boss happened to be none other
than Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, admins
traitor OF the NRA that was alleged to
guarantee to labor the right to or
ganize and bargain collectively :.
free from the Interference, restraint or
coercion Of employers Of labor or their
agents"
Pres. John Donovan Of Lodge 81,
American Federation of Government
Employees, led a union delegation to
Johnson to ask for the reinstatement
OF another union employee Of the NRA,
who had been unjustly fired, according
to union charges. The delegation
called twice to see Johnson, and the
second time were threatened with po-
lice action if they didn't leave when
Johnson broke his appointment with
them.
Shortly after, Johnson summoned
Donovan to his office and told him he
was fired. In an official statement to
the press he alleged that Donovan was
discharged "for inefficiency, inatten-
ton to duty, unauthorized absence
from duty and insubordination."
The union of NRA employees was up
in arms Immediately over the firing Of
its leader. It received the support Of
the Washington Central Labor Union,
representing all A. F. OF L. unions, in
a unanimously adopted protest.
The union emphatically declared
that Donovan was fired for union ac-
tivity. in order to build a case Don
ovan's immediate superior, Gustav
Peck, was called in to allege ineffi-
cheney" it says. Peck said Donovan
was A. w. o. L. two days-last Octo-
berl 1t was also said that Leo VOL
man recommended Donovan's dismissal
last December. This was shortly after
the organization of our local union.
"Donovan's record, on the contrary,
is one of such efficiency that he was
assigned by the NRA Labor Advisory
Board to the important Lumber, and
Paper and Pulp Codes. A month ago
he was named alternate for Pres. Will
liam Green of the A. F. of L. on the
Industrial Relations Board for the
lumber industry.
"He was fired, not for inefficiency,
but because he led a delegation to
protest delay in a case of manifest
injustice to a union member. Insubor-
dination also was alleged, His in
subordination' was refusal to remove
his delegation until another appoint
ment was made after General Johnson
broke an appointment to receive the
committee"
Donovan declared that "the little
NRA union has received the same
dirty deal that the automobile work
ers, the steel workers and every other
group of workers who have gone tc
the General seeking justice have re.
ceived."

Railroad Labor Bill
Enacted by Congress
Continued from page l.

Continued from page i
On a test vote to bring the bill up,
only Senators Hastings and Norbeck
objected, while seventy-six Senators
clamored for a test. From then on,
the administration leaders were forced
to wear Mr.. Hastings down until the
final vote could be assured, which was
accomplished after a long struggle.
Pennsylvania Railroad Criticized.
Opponents of the measure declared
it woull break down the company
union plan and would "abrogate con-
tractual relations between employees
and carriers which have existed for
years. 1t would, they asserted, 80
ment strife in the railroad world where
peace has reigned for eight years"
Charges that the Pennsylvania Rail
road was the bills chief antagonist
were made on the floor, particularly
by Senator Couzens. He produced a
letter from G. lie Boutillier, chairman
of a special committee, and a repre-
sentative of the Long Island, to show
that objections in Mr.. lie Boutillier'
letter were copied almost verbatum in
the minority report.

TRAGEDY OF COPPER MINE FIRES
RELATED BY COLLEGE PROFESSOR

After several hours | started home
Emil was still among the hundreds
missing"
"The middle OF Anaconda Road was
kept clear by the ambulances snorting
down the hill, their breaks squealine
as they held back their loads OF dead
miners.
Emil Is Found.
The accident was a break for the
undertakers-one hundred sixty-three
bodies when the final count was made
The morticians had to work overtime
to take care of the rush. Some Of the
miners were not found until four days
after the fire, their bodies in an adj
vanced state OF decomposition con
dition that make the work Of the un-
dertakers quite disagreeable.
Emil was among those found last.
He was discovered at the end Of a
drift with a jumper thrown over his
head and his mouth over the end Of a
compassionate pipe. The supply of
air had been cut off when falling tim
bers had broken all underground con-
n%ections. He was Immediately sealed
in a casket and tucked away in the
cemetery, never to be viewed by his
friends"
Mine Owners Responsible.
The tragic death of Emil Anderson
and his l62 companions in the Granite
Mountain mine disaster, so touchingly
related by Mr.. Nyland, has been re-
peated time after time in the years
that have followed due largely to the
fact that the mine n because of
the expense refuse to install the we'll
known devices and methods tested for
their efficiency in safeguarding the
miners lives.
This unpatriotic attitude OF mining
magnates is of course the result of the
policy that demands larger and larger
profits for mine capitalists even though
the result is to spread death among the
miners, without whose services the
mining properties would not be worth
a cent.

Details of Granite Mountain Dis
aster in Montana Which Dealt
Death to 1863 Workers Trapped
in the Bowels of the Earth.

The constantly recurring tragedy OF
death to miners by p~reventable mine
fires and explosions is pathetically de-
scirbed in Scribner's Magazine by
Waino Nyland, an instructor in the
University of Colorado, who relates
some OF his "reminiscences of miners
lives in the copper camps of Montana
during the early l900s.
Mr.. Nyland's parents came from
Finland. His father contracted con-
sumption in the Butte mines and died
at 81. Emil Anderson, a friend of the
family, remained. Then, one morning
before dawn, the news spread that a
fire had broken out at the Granite
Mountain mine where Emil worked. A
part OF Mr.. Nyland's story Of the dis
aster follows:
Fire Breaks Out.
1.-THE returning miners said that the
whole mine was on fire and that over
half of the four hundred on the night
shift had persisted. While the rising
sun streaked the eastern horizon with
a dirty pallor, neighbors darted from
one house to another exchanging
news. Each Homecoming miner was
questioned.
"As the morning drew on, Emil did
not return. | started for the mine.
Many men were going the same way,
and joined one of the groups. ST.
lently | plodded up Anaconda Road
with them, listening to their talk. Other
miners were returning. We could in
stantly recognize a miner that had es-
capped out of Granite Mountain. He
was escorted by several people, per-
haps a wife or a child, and on his face
appeared a peculiar self-conscious
smile"
Some stopped to give us a few de-
tails of the accident. A power cable
lad caught fire at the bottom of the
shaft and had filled the mine with
smoke and gas so quickly that few had
had time to escape.
"As I reached the mine and saw
smoke pouring out OF the shaft, my
heart sank. Hundreds of people had
gathered outside the fence. Officers
jostled them at the gate, keeping a
passageway open for ambulances and
rescue squads.
All Miners Are Dead.
But the crowd was orderly-only a
constant humble OF voices, with here
and there a whimper of a woman or
child. No live miners were brought to
the surface, only dead ones. Some oil
us climbed upon a box car where we
could peek over the fence. Inside men
moved about with Draeger gasmasks
over their heads-Spectral figures, SYM
bolizing death itself. Ambulances and
undertaken buses were parked at the
shaft mouth.
when a cage came up with a body
we would shout, Who is it7'
"John Boardman,' would come from
the rescue squad.
John Boardmanl we would relay
to the crowd below us.
Perhaps a woman would start to
sob. Then a black bus would pull out
of the yard and through the crowd
honking and racing the motor loudly tc
scare the people back.
