MINERS CONVENE
AT SALT LAKE

The recent thirty-second annual ON
vention OF the international Union OF
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, held
in Salt Lake City was a huge success
from the viewpoint of progressives
and radicals. But to the handful Of
rea%ctionaries present, the convention
could hardly be called satisfactory.
About 100 delegates we're present
from different parts Of the United
State and the most pleasing thing
about the majority of them was their
class viewpoint. There was no talk Of
identity Of interest with the boss, but
rather a clear recognition of the class
war. Time after time they impatiently
rejected conservative measures. There
is no doubt about it, the |. U. OF M. M.
and w. Union is definitely a left-wing
organization.
Many important resolutions we're
adopted, bearing on such things as a
labor party, industrial unionism,
against war and faoism, etc.
Several minor changes in the con-
stitution were recommended 10 be
passed on by referendum vote Of the
membership.
AT present the International is en-
gagged in about Is strikes and in some
places the miners are having tough
going. They are handicapped by a lack
Of relief, hostile state forces and
scabs. But If they are willing to
strike il the face OF these odds, it
clearly shows what the temper Of the
workers is today.

DIR. TOWNSEND IS
INVITED TO BUTTE

Concurring in a request OF Reverend
Anderson, the fraternal delegate Of the
Ministerial Association to the Council,
the Central Body, Tuesday evening,
went on record inviting the author Of
the famous Townsend Old Age Pension
Plan to come to Butte and speak on
Labor Day, September 3.
Reverend Anderson gave a short re-
sumo of the outstanding features OF
the Townsend Plan. He described the
benefits that would result from its
adoption by the United States Con
gress. He asserted that there are sew
eral Townsend Clubs in Butte, com
posing a membership Of Il thousand
men and women. In the estimation Of
Reverend Anderson, the plan offers a
solution Of our present economic
troubles. He stated that it provides a
definite plan and that it has been stud
led by the greatest statisticians OF the
Nation. Some of the delegates sup
ported Reverend Anderson in his re-
quest and the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil endorsed the appearance Of DR..
Townsend here but brought to the at
tention Of the delegates that the pro-
posal included a sales tax. Mr.. Ander-
son said that the revenue to pay the
pension provided in the act would not
be raised from a sales tax but rather
a transaction tax. The Trades and
Labor Council were notified that the
Cascade Trades and Labor Council
have made arrangements for DR..
Townsend to speak at Great Falls on
September 2.

NEWS OF THE
TRADES COUNCIL

The secretary OF the Trades and La
Dor Council received a reply from
President Graham of the State Fed
Grafton OF Labor in answer to a letter
that had been sent to Graham in rela-
ton TO Mr.. Hart. In this reply Mr..
Graham explained his attitude toward
Mr.. Hart and said that he had always
opposed him as head of the Works
Progress Division for Montana. Mr..
Graham's letter also stated that the
confirmation OF the Senate was not re-
quired.
A message was also received from
Senator Murray in relation to House
Joint Resolution No. 327. The COM
munication stated that this resolution
had 10 yet passed the House, that al
ter it did and when it reached the Sen
ate it would be given the attention OF
the Senator. This H. J. R. No. ST.
was brought up in the Trades and La
Dor Council a week ago. Both this one
and the one introduced by Congress
man Monaghan are known as Workers
Rights Amendments to the Constitu-
ton. They provide a check upon the
Supreme Court in the matter of over
riding measures passed by the National
Congress. Much of the agitation for
the passage Of these amendments arose
over the decision OF the Supreme Court
in declaring the N. R. A. u%nconstitu-
tional in the Schecter Poultry Case.
The organization committee reported
that some IF the stores had commenced
selling some OF Morrelrs products.
This firm, it will be remembered, is a
packing outfit and has been having
some difficulty with its employees. A
request was made of the Trades and
Labor Council some time ago to put a
ban on the sale of these products here.
The Council at THAT time concurred in
the request and the union label COM
mittee was requested to urge the mer-
chants not to handle any Of these
products until the difficulty was set
tied.
The organization committee also re-
ported that some of the stores here
are now handling union made suspen-
ders. 1t will be remembered that this
paper published a report that the
American Suspender Company is nov
putting out a union-made suspendei
and requested the Trades and Labor
Council to have its union label commit
tee attempt to induce some of the mer-
chants to put this merchandise on theil
shelves.
On August first the Montana Labol
News also made mention OF the fac
that the United Wall Paper Crafts O
North America were asking the unior
members to buy union-made wall pa.
per. It is r~egretable that the unioI
label committee had to report to th'
Council last Tuesday night that it wa.
impossible to find any union-made wal
paper in Butte.

THE RECORD OF
HARRY FREEBOURN

The labor record OF Harry J.
Freebourn is one OF which labor can be
proud. In the years 1909 to 1912, he
was successfully a member Of the Min
& Smeltermen's Union Of Butte, and
the Butte Miners Union No. l.. Study
ing law at night while employed he was
admitted to practice in 1918.
In 1925 and 1927 he represented the
Typographical Unions OF Butte and
Anaconda in wage arbitrations, locally
in Butte, and in Indianapolis, Indiana,
on appeal. The first wage arbitration
resulted in securing a 50 cent per day
increase which was taken away Oh APP
peal in Indianapolis. The second hear
ing resulted in a rs cent per day in
crease and a years back pay. Harry
was made an honorary member Of both
Typographical Unions.
During the teamsters and m%achinists'
strike at Butte in 1880, as county at
torney, he stood with the union men, at
a time when the sheriff stood with the
employers. He refused to meet with
the employers, and when the sheriff
and employers asked the Governor for
militia, told the Governor he did not
need them. He refused to prosecute
the union men upon complaint OF scabs,
During the W. F. session of the Mon
tana Legislature he appeared before a
committee in behalf Of the Butte MIN
ers' Union in support Of legislation
beneficial to them.
Striking against intolerable working
conditions and insufficient wages in
1884, the Butte Miners Union found
that Harry F~reebourn stood firmly with
them on every occasion.
In February, 1885, he acted as at
torney for an investigating committee
of the House of Representatives, al
Helena, TO investigate the activities Of
the A. c. M. and Montana Power Com
pany during the last election. Chair
man Fowler, in asking Harry to act a:
attorney for the committee, said over
the telephone, 81 have never met you
but from hearing Of you know you are
zone man III MOltdld pHS corporation
do not control, and who is not afraiC
OF them"
AT all times while county attorney
he has rendered TO the union men al
manner Of services they required, sucf
as advising on laws, drawing up bills
etc. During the last month he was en-
dorsed by the Montana State Labor
Council, at Helena, for the office O
Attorney General
Harry is going to run for Attorney
General Of Montana in 1886. He wa
invited to do so.
The present Attorney General, on
platform at Gregson Springs, July %
1885, said, 81 am going to u agail
for Attorney General, and | invite Mr.
Freebourn to run for the same office

MASS MEETING
SETS UP new
LABOR COUNCIL

The ma s citing at the High School
Sunday, s. st II, adopted a set Of
regulate < control the wage rates
and VIC g conditions to be applied
on &C g lent projects under the
Works = 'rogress Administration.
Frank y novan, Secretary OF the
Laun Workers union presided as
chaii and Frederickson Of the
F. A. organization acted as sec
ret the meeting. The proposals
ad at the meeting are the first
concrete steps taken by the trade
unions to systematic the relationship
between the men and women on relief,
the men and women employed at the
various relief projects and the trade
unions. 1t is hoped that the new plan
will give additional protection to all
employees working in any capacity,
either directly for the government, I'M
der the relief set-up, or for the projects
that may be put in operation under the
new Division. The unions have al
ready interceded in behalf of these
government employees, especially the
Women's Protective and some of the
building trades organizations. These
individual attempts Of the unions to Of
fer protection did not seem to be ade-
quate. The relief workers desired a
centralized authority. The plan out
lined last Sunday apparently has full
filled this desire and brought a very
definite program OF control and action
into the field OF union-G Government re-
lationship.
The meeting also appointed a COM
mittee OF ten. This committee was d.

was directed to visit the re-employ-

men are good because of the length
of their heels, or Achilles tendons.
That doesn't mean thing to Jesse
Like Old Man River, he just keeps
rolling along, knowing something. out
saying nothing about what makes him
so good.
Mr.. Owens is a treat to the eye
when he runs. His step is much
longer and smoother. or so it seems
to me, than the steps of Ralph Met
calfe. the big Marquette flash, and
EDDIE Tolan. late of Michigan. He
hasn't got Metcalfes surge of speed
and power at the finish. but he starts
more quickly and runs more con-
siStently.
His quick start makes Jesse
the nearest thing to catapult in
the modern track world.
The catapult process figures in his
jumping. for he gathers tremendous
impetus in the sprint and takes off
with almost no break in speed. Thus,
the sprint and the jump are one con-
tinuous impulse of motion, or as
nearly so as anything We will see I'M
til the ideal broad jumper comes
along.
But ii would be wrong to say that
Jesse's success lies entirely in impetus
and a quick start. He has been beaten
couple of times by Willis Ward, the
unlucky Wolverine, at the 60-yard
distance indoors. And some of his
best performances were over the 900
route, which requires definite
amount of stamina He seems to have
everything the ideal Splinter needs
including a shadow.
The shadow is Mr.. Peacock, and
Jesse is able to find something Of
value even in that sinister figure.
Maybe he'll make me run and
jump better" said Mr.. Owens cheer
fully.
Maybe he'll drive me right
on to some new records. You
can't tell"

He'll line out singles, doubles and
