Great Falls Local of the Interna-
tional Union of Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers voted to strike
Thursday, which will close all pro-
duction units of the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company in the
state of Montana. Three attempts
at arbitration have failed.
The Silverbow Trades and Labor
Council asked all unions for a
general strike, each union to take
a strike vote this week. If called,
the general strike will tie up the
entire city of Butte, including
street railways and all building
trades. 1t is expected Great Falls
and Anaconda will do likewise.
The Montana State Federation of
Labor is besieged with appeals for
a statewide general strike. The
only smelling unit left working is
the American Smelling and Re-
filming Co. at East Helena. These
workers are also organized in the
I.UM.MS.W, but have not yet

Drama at Palace

Firemen and doctors are usually
thought to be the men who have
the least certainty of being able to
sleep through night in peace, for
they can always fear when they go
to bed that just as it gets coolest
and darkest they may be walked up
to attend a burning chicken-c
or a patient with a stomach ache.
There are men in other profess
sions, however, who have the same
insecurity in their sleeping hours.
One such profession is that Of tele-
phone "trouble-shooter," an inter-
esting and hitherto ignored type OF
work, the details of which are an
important part of the twentieth
century picture, Looking for
Trouble" which is no on view at
Loew's Palace.
This Joseph M. Schenck-Darryl F.
Zanuck presentation tells the story
of two telephone hnesmen, played
by Spencer Tracy and Jack Oakle,
who must, just like f1remen and doc
tors, be ready, at any moment OF
the day or night, to meet any pos
sible emergency.
When storms or earthquakes or
any other catastrophies break down
telephone lines, or even if there is
the less spectacular but just as
troublesome trouble of a mere
grounded wire or other technical
upset, they must rush out to take
care of it no mater what the state
of the weather or what the time
of the day or night.
