cede the company union which has
heretofore been in control.
The new union includes machinists,
boiler makers, blacksmiths, sheet metal

ers, all Of which formerly were under
the company union. The NRA enabled
the employees to vote on joining the
A. F. of L., and this vote was made
last fall. New officers of the union +:

ton chairman; N. w. Cloutier of Du-
luth, chairman Of the carmen; N. w.
Taylor of Helena, chairman for the
firemen, oilers and railway shop and
roundhouse laborers.
The new wage scale agreement will
be negotiated by the A. F. Of L. for
all railways of the nation in May.
When the agreement is concluded in
St. Paul, Organizers Paul Huybrecht

with Great Northern employees to en-
roll them into the A. F, of L. group.

JUDGE NIELDS'
DECISION

Section IA of the National Indus
trial Recovery Act declares "Q) That
employees shall have the right to or
ganize and bargain collectively through
representatives of their own choosing,
and shall be free from the interference,
restraint, or coercion of employers of
labor, or their agents, in the designation
of such representatives or in self-or-
ganization or in other concerted activi-
ties for the purpose Of collective bar
gaining or other mutual aid or protec-
ton; (2) that no employee and no one
seeking employment shall be required
as a condition of employment to join
in any company union, or to refrain
from joining, organizing, or assisting a
labor organization of his own choosing.
+.
In his decision in the Weirton Steel
Company case Federal Judge John T,
Nields declared that Section IA is
unconstitutional and void as applied
to the company and its employees.
1t remains for the Supreme Court of
the United States to pass upon this re-
markable decision.

RESOLUTIONS OF
BACK WAGES

WASHINGTON. - Restitution Of
back wages to employees, arranged
through NRA field offices and the
newly organized regional compliance
councils has exceeded $3,000,00O, ac-
cording to figures released by the Dir
ector OF Compliance and Enforcement.
Restitution figures were not tabulat-
ed before June 10, 1884, but it is esti-
mated that during the first year the
field offices arranged for payment OF
ST 100000 to workers. Since June 10,
1884, detailed statistics are available ;
the total sum restored has been ST.
152, 1927.
These sums represent the difference
between what was paid to employees
and what they should have received
under the appropriate NRA code or
the Presidents Unemployment Agree
ment.
Some 21,083 cases have been adjust
ed by wage restitution, of which 756
involved the PRA. The total number
of employees who received the resti-
tutions since June 10, 1884, is 1892.
During the 2-week period ended Feb
ruary 2, 1885, wage resolutions through
the field offices amounted to $l85,467-
20, paid in 1,442 cases to 6,301 work
ers.

During the Past Year

MISSOULA, March 5.-Hodcarriers,
Building & Common L,abors Union, No.
1877, has increased in membership the
last year. We have better attendance
at meetings and more interest is
shown. We are looking forward for a
better year for 1885.
There has been several new unions
organized here in Missoula the last
year, owing to the fact the board Of
directors of the Union Hall Stock Co.
have r~emodeled the dance hall, which
gives them one more large meeting hall.
This had to be done to accommodate their
tenants. The union hall is owned by
the Missoula unions and union mem
bers and is clear Of indebtedness.
There is a new organization here,
the Woman's Union Label League.
They are growing fast and are doing a
world of good. They meet the fourth
Thursday in each month in hall No. l..

TRADES COUNCIL
ADJOURNS EARLY

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council had a very short and quiet SEES
sion Tuesday evening. Jack Driscoll,
chairman Of the Grievance Committee,
made a report Of the difficulty between
the BARRIERS and the Lewis Beauty
School in the Mayer Block, it also was
reported that the difficulties between
Mrs. Sophie Doyle, of the Doyle Block
on West Mercury and the Engineers
Union had been settled.
Under Good and Welfare, a discus
sion took place regarding the value Of
Labor, trying to receive any good from
labor representatives in the Legislature.
Some of the delegates were quite dis
appointed at the failure to achieve
anything Of Importance. The sincerity
of the labor representatives and the
Farm Union representatives was not
questioned. The delegates, Driscoll,
Ryan and Carpenter, defended the Sill
yer Bow delegation. The labor pro-
gram, it was pointed out, was too large
and disunited and did not seem to have
any definite or coherent plan. In quite
a few matters the desires of the union
elements ran counter to one another.
1t is from these experiences that labor
should learn to achieve more political
victories in the future. 1t is difficult,
however, and the recent legislative ses-
sion should be a reminder of that fact,
that little can be achieved by the work
ing people in parliamentary procedure.
1t is only on the economic field that
anything worth while can be expected
1t seems that more and more, whenever
any measure OF even little significance
or value is passed in the interest of the
working people, it is Immediately chal-
lenged by the corporations and brought
into court. The agents of the capital
lists go through the process of declaring
it unconstitutional. So often and so
fragrant has this practice become, that
the constitution of the State and Of the
Nation at the present time is the great
est obstacle to reform and to efforts OF
amelioration. 1t was Teddy Roosevelt
that advocated a Constitutional Amend
ment providing for a referendum Of the
people to decisions of the United
States Supreme Court. This wouldn't
be a bad thing to apply to State Con-
stitution also.

PRESIDENT ASKS
EXTENSION OF NRA

WASHINGTON.-In a special mes
sage to Congress, February 20, Presi-
dent Roosevelt asked that the National
Industrial Recovery Act be extended
for a period OF two years, from its ex-
piration date, which is June 10, 1885.
Only a few changes are suggested,
the chief one being a request for au-
thority to impose codes of fair prac-
tice on backward industries that refuse
or neglect to work out codes volun-
tarily. Authority is also asked to per-
nit the declaration Of an emergency
at any time the public welfare is
threatened. Price fixing would be pro-
hibited and the President declares that
mo monopoly should be private"
Would Retain Several Features.
President Roosevelt in his message
urges that several features favored by
organized labor be retained. These in
clude The ban on child labor in indus
try; the fright of employees to freely
organize for purposes of collective bar
gaining" maximum hours and mini
mum wages.
After reviewing chronologically the
development Of the original MIRA and
its administration thus far, the Presi-
dent stated:
"The fundamental principles of the
Act are sound. To abandon them is
unthinkable. 1t would spell the re-
turn Of industrial and labor chaos"
