O'BYRNE THANKS
VOTERS
Butte, Montana

July ~, lSoT.
Mr.. Chas. E. Sebold, Editor,
Montana Labor News,
Butte, Montana.
Dear sir:
If you will permit me to use a little
space, | desire to take this means to
express my appreciation OF the SPLEEN
did support | received at the Polls in
the late Primary Election.
My thanks are due to the members
of Organized Labor and my friends
generally, who rallied to my support in
spite of the vicious and lying propa-
ganda that was peddled around so in
du~striously by a well-known labor
fakir and his aides, who are doing the
dirty work around town, that the other
A. c. M. stool pigeons cannot attend
to, conveniently.
l believe | am voicing the opinion
and determination of my colleagues on
the Labor Slate, who were successful
in securing the nomination for the
Legislature, when l say, that if we
are elected, in November, we will do
everything in our power to redeem
every pledge we have given and en-
deavor to put laws upon the Statute
Books that will be of real benefit to
Organized Labor and the common peo-
pie of the State of Montana.
Sincerely yours,
EDWARD OBYRNE.

LIVING COSTS RISE
in WASHINGTON

cost
OF living of federal employees living in
Washington has increased 40 per cent
in the Is months from March 1888 to
June 1884, according to a special
study of the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics U. S. Department of Labor. As
compared with December 1888, their
living costs increased is per cent.
The cost Of living Of wage earners
and lower salaried workers living in
Washington, howeved, increased by
10 per CEN in the same period. This
is accounted for by the relative stabil-
ity OF the costs of a number of items
included in the index for federal en-
ployes, such as life insurance, educa-
ton and retirement fund" says the re-
port.

Wages Of Farm
Labor Lag Under
Crop C~urtailment

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Farm
wages this summer have advanced
only one-third as much as they usually
do for the season, according to the
U. S. Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
Monies.
"The general level of farm wage
rates rose two points in the second
quarter of 1884 to 90 per cent OF their
pre-war average on July /, compared
with 78 a year earlier" it says. "How-
ever, this was only one-third Of the
usual seasonsal increase from April
| to July l.
acreage curtailment this year
coupled with the extensive drought
has retarded the demand for farm
labor. Consequently, wage rates in
creased less than %seasonally despite
some reduction in the supply Of avail
able farm workers.

A. c. M. COMPANY
DESPERATE
RESORTS TO VIOLENCE; NEEDS
MARTIAL LAW TO WIN.

For the first time in its history the
Anaconda Company is in a tough spot.
1t has failed in its efforts to grease
palms Of local and federal government
officials and since it has failed in this
its only other means is to break the
strike through armed force. The tao
tics used by the corporation in the
past week is evidence Of the fact that
the Anaconda Company hasn't a just
leg to stand on. A conference is to be
held in Washington, D. c., by the De-
partment of Labor and the National
Labor Relations Board regarding the
Butte situation. The Anaconda Com
pany is well aware OF this and realizes
that its refusal to meet with the
strikers is not going to meet with the
Boards favor. Their only hope is to
put Butte under martial law before the
government agencies have time to
meet, The vicious, lying reports in
the Montana Standard are an attempt
to force the governor to send troops
to Butte. The Anaconda Company
doesn't have one bit of evidence to
back the charges made in the Monday
Morning Standard. 1t has no evidence
to show that any man on strike was
near any fire or explosion. Every
evidence points to the fact that the
fires and dynamiting were done by the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
hirelings. THE C ANY is
MERELY REPEATING ITS 1917
AND 1918 METHODS AND TAG
TICS. BUTTE CITIZENS, DON'T
BE FOOLED.

GEN. JOHNSON NOT
UNION CRITICS.,
is CALLED LIAR

NEW YORK. (FP)-On June 10,
General johnson made merry on the
first birthday of NRA, hailing himself
for the great strides he had made, and
hailing his critics as liars"
Then the facts made the general a
liar, instead.
When he announced at the birthday
party that NRA's first year had
brought a great business upturn the
facts were o at hand to prove or dis
prove his sweeping claims. Later the
returns began to come in.
The New York Times index Of bust
ness activity is recognized by the U. S.
Department Of Commerce, for example
What does it show about the first
year of the NRA?
/. On the first birthday OF the MIRA
business activity in the U. S. A. was
below, not above, what it had been on
June 10, 1888.
q Business activity has been below
what it was when NRA was enacted
40 weeks OF the 81 OF that first year.
3. The Times index had leaped from
90 to Ola in the weeks between mid
March, 1888, and the NRA's beginning
in June. The impetus carried upward
one more month and then activity col
lapsed. The index lost half Of its gair
from the depression low, in the early
NRA collapse, and since has fluttered
between the bottom of that collapse
and the point where the NRA was in
troduced, never attaining back to the
activity of the first NRA days, how
ever.
A report Of retail sales for the first
two weeks in June, 1884, as compared
with the same two weeks a year
earlier, shows why johnson is able tc
quote so many glib figures of ad-
vance. Retail sales in New York
biggest retail market in the country
are above 1888 sales. But the sale:
are only IL per cent higher, in dol
lars, if liquor sales are included, ant
otherwise ITO of l per cent lower
When it is remembered that prices are
28 per cent higher it is seen that there
has been a disastrous collapse in the
physical volume of goods sold.
A survey now going on in New
York City shows 2H times more fam
lilies with lower income than with
higher. This has been confirmed by
studies made in New England. New
York is spending 100000 a day on re-
lief, yet l39 persons died in hospitals
last year of starvation or malnutrition
not to mention those who died o.
other reported cause really growing
out of hunger.
Trade unionists supporting The
Roosevelt administration who over
looked the screaming general, ever
when he called the officials Of the
United Textile Workers of Americ;
liars" have concluded that they car
no longer ignore the fact that the de.
preston is not being cured and thai
the one person who is most responsible
for the continued hunger of million,
is Hugh S. Johnson.

Chile Bosses Fear
Workers Will Learn
From San Francisco

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Chile's
fear OF serious labor troubles was
shown when its government forbade
the papers to print stories on the San
Francisco general strike. Some OF the
economic conditions which made the
government so fearful and that the
Chilean workers will take courage
from the militancy of their United
States fellow workers are shown in a
U. S. Department of Commerce report
released July II.
Assistant Commercial Attache H. M.
Randall, who has just completed an
official tour through northern Chile,
has told the department that while
some improvement has occurred 3.
the general feeling existing is still far
from optimistic" it reports. The eco
nomic life OF northern Chile, according
to Randall, was built around the pro-
duction and export of nitrate and cop
per, the world demand for which has
declined to extremely low levels.
In Antofagasta and Tocopilla there
is very little movement of merchan-
disc" the department states on the
basis Of Randall's report. Bolivian
mining, short-handed by reason Of the
war and subject to exchange control
arising from the same cause, is Grip
pied and is not buying supplies, ma
chinery and similar products, most of
which enter By Antofagasta. Like
wise, the wholesale houses in Anto-
fagasta depend much on Bolivian
business, now reduced to a minimum.
These far-northern cities still have
their unemployed camps and feed sew

Waterman inside tho structure. An
alarm was sent into the Butte Fire
Department by telephone, the fire de-
partment responded Immediately but
when they reached the Parrot gate it
was still locked and was opened for
them by one OF your servants. The
ice house is inaccessible from the
public highway and the records of the
Butte Fire Department show that
this ice house has been on fire three
times within the past two years. In
the cass Of the dynamiting Of the
flume, l have found no evidence that
this was the work of men on strike.
The flume at the place where it was
broken is readily accessible from your
premises and by your servants inside
the fence neal the spot where the
flume was broken. As to the throw
ing Of rocks at the fires referred to,
members of the fire department who
were present tell me that none OF
them we're struck by any rocks and
that no rocks were thrown by any
men. They advised me that women
and children called names. These fire
men also advised me that at the two
fires mentioned that pickets in the
one case assisted the firemen and at
the other offered to do so. You, OF
course, are we'll aware of the fact
that persons Of the character of de-
t~ectives and gunner assure themselves
Of continuous employment by the
commission of offenses against society
that are made by them to appear to
have been done by men on strike.
The industrial history of America is
filled with examples Of such miscon-
duct.
Your letter to me, Of course, was
written for purpose of propaganda
1t wa received by me upon Saturday
and was published in your newspapers
before a reasonable time elapsed for
this reply. You have caused it to be
published today in all your daily
newspapers in Montana for the pur-
pose Of influencing public opinion and
public officers against the working
class Of Butte and their sympathizers

forcement Of the law you can give evil
dence of such purpose by publishing

More Than Seasonal
Decline Dampens
Recovery Hopes

WASHINGTON -(FP)-A de-
in. industrial production in June,
with indications of a more than sea
sonal downward trend in the next two
months, is reported by the U. S. Blu
reau of Agricultural Economics. "In-
dustrial production in June was slight
ly lower than in May with further de-
cline occurring in the first week of
July says the bureaus survey for
July.
"The trend OF industrial activity in
July and August is uncertain, but indi-
cations point to more than the usual
recession in these months" A sharp
decline in steel activity and in cotton
textile production, as we'll as seasonal
decline in the automobile industry are
factors mentioned.
This lower level of activity in the
major industries may be partly offset
by increased government disburse-
ments and increased building under
the Home Building and Improvement
Program" the report says.

LABOR ADVISORY BOARD
WON'T ACT ON DONO-
VAN DISMISSAL

WASHINGTON.--(FP)-Th NRA
Labor Advisory Board has again re-
fused to take an official stand on the
dismissal Of its former employee, John
L. Donovan, head OF the MIRA en-
ployes' organization, for union activ-
ity. President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor, acting
chairman Of the board, is understood
to have urged it to act on Donovan's
case, but other members, while agree
ing that Donovan was fired by Cen
eral Johnson for union activity, took
the stand that the board should adj
here to its advisory capacity and
take no active part in the dispute.
Green has agreed to ask the National
Labor Relations Board to rule on Don
ovan's dismissal.
