Survey Will Aid
Housing Projects
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

-Four out Of every five of the 2,500,-
900 homes in 65 representative cities
have been made the subject of a
searching inquiry by the Department
OF Commerce in an effort to learn
the location, character and condition
OF structures and, in general. the
living conditions in these typical
communities. Similar studies have
been made recently in New York, ST.
Louis and Cleveland But the one
now under way by Federal agencies
IS broader in scope.
The data thus obtained are expected
to be of considerable value in the
formulation of housing and slum
clearance projects. 1t also should aid
Congress in the planning of legisla-
ton and should be of service to the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board and
other governmental and private credit
agencies as basis for a wiser extern
sion of credit to local communities
in city planning and tax revision and
to real estate dealers, builders and
contractors in planning business
campaigns.
The facts are expected to prove of
great value to industry in gauging
sales campaigns for repairing, mod
ernizing, rebuilding and installing
sanitary and heating conveniences.
The needs of these buildings are to
be supplied principally from the So
called capital or durable goods in
duStrieS, and this will be a powerful
aid toward stability in construction
Building will not be speculative in
character when such facts are known.
More than 5000 white collar" un-
employed (half of them women) were
utilized in gathering the information.
under the general supervision Of the
Census Bureau.
More than 100000 schedules, con-
tanning detailed information on the
character of structures and need for
improvement or repair, the nature of
the occupancy or vacancy. and even
the ownership of automobiles df any
and vegetable gardens, have been pre-
pared.
This survey, which is known as the
real property inventory, is now show
ing some interesting relationship be-
tween living conditions and business
opportunities. Preliminary figures for
several Of the cities covered are
available.

a public highway, for which it was
dedicated free of cost by its original
owners in 1871. At the present time
various causes have conspired to
make settlement Of the railroad
question a matter of urgent impor-
tance. We respectfully petition that
this opportunity shall not be allowed
to pass without providing for the re-
moval Of the tracks from the princi-
pal part Of the city. We are informed
that the Commissioners Of the u.s.
trict Of Columbia have strongly
urged that the union depot be To-
Gated on private property just south
OF the intersection Of Virginia and
Maryland avenues, and that all the
existing tracks north of this pro-
posed depot shall be removed. In our
Judgment this solution Of the question
will meet the approval of a very large
majority Of the citizens and So
journers in the National Capital, and
We urgently petition that you will
enact law to give effect to their
views"

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Nothing, some declare, appears to be
behaving sensible.
Everything you see contains some
feature reprehensible.
Matters economical or psychical or
physical
Are all contemplated with attention
that is quizzical.
Everything that's mentioned moves
some one to interrogate,
Often to such length he may be said
to supererogate,
So the exigencies to be met by
measures practical
Threaten to be overwhelmed by
eloquence didactical.
It has always been that way, since
time of great antiquity.
Human nature seems to show curious
obliquity-
But the finish always shows a state
serenely glorious.
With Courageous Common Sense re-
spected and victorious.

RAIL WORKING RULES ARE
SUBJECT OF GOVERN

WASHINGTON. -(FP)- Railroad
working rules" long under attack by
the companies in their efforts to
"chisel" on wages, are the subject of a
special inquiry, announced July 3 by
Joseph B. Eastman, federal co-ordi-
nator of transportation. The survey
will be conducted by the co-ordina-
tors Section of Labor Relations and
will include the historical background
of such rules and an appraisal of their
effects.
Among the first and most important
rules to be studied are those which
call for the payment of so-called "ar-
bitraries" or constructive allowances"
"Such payments" says Eastman, "are
usually made in addition to straight
time and overtime pay and we're origi-
nally intended either to compensate
employees for extra work or unavoid-
able hardship outside of their regular
scope of duty, or else as measures to
discourage operating practices which
imposed unnecessary burdens upon the
men"

Hosiery Workers
Cancel Contracts

PHILADELPHIA. - (FP) II All
agreements or contracts between the
American Federation OF Hosiery
Workers and hosiery manufacturers
have been formally cancelled by the
union, effective August 81.
Cancellation notices we're issued to
protsct the union because OF the un-
certainty Of the hours situation in the
industry, it was explained TO the man
ufacturers by President REEVE and
Secretary Treasurer Smith of the
A. F. H. w. The union will be pre-
pared to discuss revisions in the wage
scale as soon as the question of hours
is settled, they stated.
Since the Hosiery Code Authority is
proposing to the NRA a reduction
from 40 to IS hours in the work week,
the union is demanding that proper
tomato wage increases shall accom-
pany any cut that may be made in
hours. A 30-hour workweek instead
of the proposed 35-hour week is ia
vored by the union.
Leaders Of the federation were
empowered to cancel existing con
tracts and negotiate new agreements
based on a shorter week and a pay
increase by a vote of the national
membership on a resolution passed at
the recent convention.

George Forsythe In Race
For Legislature
ON DEMOCRATIC c x

George Forsythe, pioneer resident Of
Silver Bow County, and a lifelong
Democrat, is one of the prominent
candidates for the nomination on his
party ticket for the Legislature. Mr.
Forsythe is we'll known here and for
many years was the lessee of the con-
cessions at Columbia Gardens, until
the acquisition of that property by the
Anaconda Company, when Mr.. For
sythe's lease was terminated, and
since that time he has operated Greg
son Hot Springs exclusively.
While at Columbia Gardens Mr.
Forsythe, with his own money, erected
a large pavilion and made a large
number of Improvements, which gave
to Butte and to Montana one OF the
finest amusement parks and the larg-
est dance floor in the state.
Since the Clark interests sold Co.
lumbia Gardens Mr.. Forsythe has op-
Grated Gregson Springs, one Of Mon
tana's best known and Oldest bathing
resorts. The young and old have en-
joyed healthful, clean recreation; and
the public Of Butte has been accus-
toned to gather there with their fam
lilies for many years.
Mr.. Forsythe for many years has
been a heavy taxpayer and a large
employee of labor in Silver Bow
County; is experienced in public af-
fairs and is well qualified to give the
office he seeks a fair and faithful
service.

Resolution Of endorsement OF Sena-
tor Burton K. Wheeler for reelection
to U. S. Senate.
Whereas; Burton X. Wheeler's
term as U. S. Senator for Montana is
about to expire, and as he is a can
didate for reelection, and
Whereas; Senator Wheeler as a
Senator has always identified himself
with the liberal and progressive ele-
ment of the United States Senate
working for the interests of the great
masses OF the agricultural and indus
trial workers and the common people
generally, and,
Whereas; Through such endeavors
he has incurred the hostility of the big
interests who are seeking special leg
~islation and special privileges bene-
fetal to their own interests and detri-
mental to the interests of the great
body of producers and consumers, and,
Whereas; The big Interests" are
now doing their utmost to defeat
Senator Wheeler in the coming cleo
ton,
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, By the
District Executive Board Of District
p, United Mine Workers of America,
comprising the State OF Montana,
That this Board goes on record as
commenting the actions and the ef-
forts of Senator Burton K. Wheeler
as a member of the United States
Senate during the past twelve years in
behalf OF the common people of the
country, and we pledge ourselves to
aid and assist in his election in every
honorable way, and that we urge upon
every friend Of progress and liberal
ism, and especially every mine worker
in Montana to go to the polls, both in
the primary and the general elections
to vote for the nomination and re-elec-
ton of Burton K. Wheeler to the
United States Senate.

H O a n d Has
Splendid Record

1t is a matter OF vital interest to
members Of organized labor that
County and State offices should be
held by men who are sympathetic to
our cause or whose affiliations leave
no room for doubt OF ambiguity.
Promises are easily made and fire.
quently just as readily forgotten. 1t
is thus clearly our duty to weigh care
fully the records Of candidates who
seek our votes and stick by those who
deserve our support.
In this connection we might state
that John Holland, who is seeking a
second term as County Clerk and Re-
corder, became a member of the En-
gineers' Union when he arrived at
the age of fifteen and has been re-
garded by his comrades as a loyal
and faithful member of that ~organiza-
ton, and that loyalty has been fire.
quently expressed in word and in
deed. For a short time Mr.. Holland
was a member of the Blacksmiths'
Union and now carries a withdrawal
card in that organization, having re-
turned to the Engineers on again re-
Stunning work under their jurisdiction.
His record as a union mar is clear
and consistent.
During his term of office he has
performed the various duties of that
office efficiently and well. His work
has been commended by the State
Auditor and by those who have had
occasion to consult and investigate
the records. Duties incumbent on the
Clerk and Recorder leave no room for
spectacular service and it is only
when the machinery of his office fails
to function that public criticism is
aroused. Thus far in John Hollands
Administration, those who are in a
position to know, state that the work
has never been excelled by any pre-
vious administration, though he has
had to work with a much more re-
stricted budget allowance.
Summarizing his record as a union
man and as a public servant we can
c-onscientiously recommend him for
your vote on the Democratic Primary
ballot July II, 1884.

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR
A. F. of L. BUILDING
Washington, d. C., June 10, 1882

Washington, u. l., June Is, 1857.
To all Organized Labor in the
First Congressional District
of Montana.
Dear Sir and Brother:
The American Federation of Labor is deeply interested in
the reelection of Representative John M. Evans of the First Con-
gressional District of Montana.
During his twenty years in Congress he has proved an in
valuable friend of labor. Thirty three important measures which
labor supported received his favorable votes. His record on all
remedial legislation in the interest of labor and the people is one
hundred per cent.
During consideration of the tax and economy bills before
Congress he voted against every provision in the two bills that
would inure the interest of labor. He voted for the Norris-La-
Guardia antiinjunction bill and against the sales tax. He also
voted against the motion to abolish the shorterwork week for gov
eminent employees.
When any measure in the interest of labor was up for con-
sideration he could always be depended upon for its support. When
any legislation inimical to labor and the people was before the
House he would vote against it. We are deeply interested in his
denomination and reelection. Labor needs friends in Congress
who will protect its interests S well as the interests of all the
people.
Let it not be said after the primary and election that labor
was not apprecative of the support given by Representative Evans.
With best wishes and kindest regards, am
Fraternaly yours,
VIM. GREEN, President,
American Federation of Labor.

WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY.

A strange irregular love drama set
in ther background Of the seething caul-
dron of the Irish rebellion comes to
the Rialto on Wednesday and Thurs
day, July IS and 10. The title of the
picture is "The Key" with William
Powell in the stellar role.
Powell and Colin Give, brother Of
ficers stationed in Dublin to SUPPRESS
the rebellion, form two of the sides Of
the triangle, while Edna Best, the
wife of Give and the former sweet
heart of Powell, forms the third.
Give, a serious minded officer in the
secret service, has never completely
won the love of his wife, who has a
strange infatuation for the gay and
dashing captain in the person Of Pow
ell. The outcome Of this love tangle
is one of the big surprises in the pic
ture which is revealed in a thrilling
climax.
The picture, which is based on the
play by R. Gore-Browne and j. l..
Hardy, follows the exploits of the
Irish patriots in their uprising of the
last decade and the efforts Of the
British to put down the rebellion. The
daring deeds OF the Sim Feiners in
their conflict with English officers
furnish many a thrill to add to the ro-
nance of the film.

SACRED OR PRoFANE LOVE =?
THE THEME in
"VERGIE WINTERS"

What d~ifferentiates sacred and pro-
fame love?
That is the vital question raised in
1.-THE Life of Vergie Winters" star
ring Ann Harding and John Boles,
which comes to the Rialto Theatre,
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, July
IS, 10 and II.
The story is that OF a great love
which endures through twenty-five
years without benefit of clergy" To
the home town neighbors that love is
profane-and a crime against society
to be prosecuted.
Another union, properly sealed by
the words of a clergyman, is consid-
cred as Sacred" and to be main
tanned at all costs although there is no
love on either side.
Miss Harding is seen as Vergie
Winters, a small town milliner who,
thwarted of marriage by circum-
stances, accepts and clings to her
lover wed to another. John Boles
plays the male lead, and Helen Vim
son has the role of the girl TO whom
he is united in a hollow marriage.
The story builds to a tremendously
dramatic conclusion.
Other headliners in the large and
brilliant cast include Betty Furness
Molly O'Day, Wesley Barry, Ben
Alexander, Frank Alberston, Creigh-
ton CLANCY, Edward Van Sloan, Don
aid Crisp, Josephine Whittell, Dorothy
Sebastian, Maidel Turner, Cecil Gun
ningham, Bonita Granville and many
others.
Alfred Santell directed "The Life Of
Vergie Winters" which is based upon
the widely acclaimed story by Louis
Bromfield. Jane Murfin wrote the
screen play.

"Schnozzle" portrays a radio comic
who contends he is really a John Drew

mate thrusts her affection on his
gagster, while the gagster's wife en-
amors the COMICS agent.
When the truant songstress and
gagster return from a rendezvous, the

polished william and does not use his
fists once, either on a woman or a
man. Joan Blondell plays opposite
Jimmy, a woman of the streets whom
he doublecrosses, but afterwards
makes up for it by stepping out of her
