advanced.
Homes to b built would be Of frame

proximately $2,400, to be amortiSed

chaser would be required by the RRC
to make small down payment. with
the remainder to be paid In easy In
stallmeuts, Wallis said.
Construction Of the homes would be
an RRC project, although the FERA
has been responsible for construction
Of the dam in the Dies Laos river
which viii b the central point Of the
gravity irrigation system and an In
tegral part Of the completed project.
The dam, 20 feet high Is Of earth
I'LL with . masonry overflow. It will

Miners Assured OF
Great Celebration
Stores To Close On That Day To
Allow Clerks An Opportunity
To Participate.

Reports from the unions affiliated
with the Central Labor Council stated
that there will be a general and unit
ed cooperation with the miners union
to make June IS, Of this year, one of
the largest and most spectacular cele-
brations ever held by the unions OF
this community. Many of the unions
reported that they had agreed to par
ticipate with the miners on that day
in parading and joining them in their
picnic at Columbia Gardens. Last
Tuesday evening, the Workingmen,
Engineers, Women's Protective Union,
~Bartenders, Cooks and Walters and
the Typographical Union also report
ed a determination to parade and par
ticipate. The clerks union stated that
the merchants promised to close up
the town on that day and to release all
the clerks on duty. The clerks will
throw in their forces with the miners
in the entertainment and other fea-
lures Of the program.

Trades Council News
GREENE URGES EXTENSION OF
N. r. A.

A long communication was received
from the American Federation Of La
Dor asking all unions to participate in
demonstrations and mass meetings de-
signed to affect the passage OF liberal
legislation now pending in Congress,
namely the Wagner onnery Disputes
Bill, the Black Thirty-hour Measure
and the Extension Of the National Re
covery Act.
A quite similar communication was
received from the United Textile Work
ers OF which Francis ]. Garnan is the
International vice-president, and by
whom the communication was written.
The textile organizations according to
the letter are very eager to have N.
r. A. extended for two years. The
letter stated that while the textile code
was the first to be adopted and while
it was not OF much value at hat time,
nevertheless, it did give the textile
workers an opportunity to organize,
and a chance to fight for better CON
ditions and better wages. This industry
had reached a deplorable condition, in
respect to the workers, prior to the
adoption of the N. r. A. and many
OF the textile plants were operating
under starvation wages. Some OF these
abuses have been corrected and much
of the chiseling has been stopped. 1t
must be borne in mind that the textile
industry is composed OF many thous-
ands of units, independent factories,
all mor n less competing with one
another. This competition resulted in
the slashing OF prices and was driving
down the standard of living Of the
people engaged in the industry.
The Trades and Labor Council com
piled with the request, that was con-
tanned in this letter of the textile work
ers, to agitate for the continuance OF
the National Recovery Act for another
two years and to also oppose the mea-
sure recently passed in the Senate ex-
tending this act for only ten months.
No definite plans were laid to carry
on this work except that the whole
matter was given to the Legislative
Committee to formulate a program.

Liberal Motion Picture
To Be Shown AT The
Miners Hall

The unions were informed that a
liberal motion picture describing events
and progress in Russia. will be shown
at the Miners Union Hall at 81 IL +.
Park Street on May % and 27. There
will be two shows daily at seven and
nine o'clock each evening. The name
OF this talking motion picture is "Sov-
lets on Parade" The spectators are
promised one Of the most intensely in
teresting descriptions OF Russian life
yet brought before the American peo-
pie. In this picture may be seen the
pictures of the mighty red army on
parade, and scenes of MAY Day in Mos
COW and the Red Square. The build
ing OF new factories, throughout the
entire nation, views of the tremendous
%graineries and the giant collective farms
The audience will also be treated to
the music OF a 100 piece band and
speeches by Stain and other Russian
leaders. The show is put out under
the auspices OF the Film and Photo
League. The show depicks events from
the lives OF the Russian people and
uhe intense activity that is taking place
under the second five year plan. The
Russian people display a high degree
OF enthusiasm and confidence. The
pictures give N an impression Of in
tense activity in all lines of work quite
different from the sad and mournful
conditions existing in Capitalist coun-
tries. It would be we'll worth while
for the people OF this community to
get this first hand evidence Of what
is taking place in Russia, ofttimes des-
cribed as the Youngest-O Old Country in
the world, and the only socialist Gov
eminent on earth.

TRANSIENT CAMP MAY BE LOST

An interestingS communication was
received in relation to the transient
camp in course of construction at the
corner of Colorado and Gold Streets
and the letter stated that by reason OF
propaganda being disseminated by var
ious persons and organizations, this
center may be lost to Silver Bow
County and established at Deer Lodge.
1t was brought out that Butte is the
logical place for this undertaking as
Butte is served by all OF the railroads.
One Of the delegates stated that if
service to the hungry, exhausted men
on the road is the thing desired, the
camp should be established and main
tanned in Butte. The Council favored
the permanent establishment of this
transient service provided that the
transients are not retained, fed and
lodged more than 4S hours.
