Of Federation
Talks on Constitution

Musselshell, Mont, Aug. 70, 1885.
Editor Montana Labor News,
Butte, Mont.
Dear Sir:
| have been considerably interested
recently by the expressions of public
sentiment for amendment to the con-
titution depriving the Supreme Court
Of THE power to declare an act of Con
|gres unconstitutional.
1t seems to me that those who clamor
loudest for such an amendment would
do we'll to read our constitution and if
they do so carefully they will find that
such an amendment is wholly u%nneces-
sary, for Our Constitution provides in
Article 3, Section 2, paragraph 2 as fol-
lows = +
In all cases affecting ambassadors,
other public ministers and consuls, and
those in which a state shall be a party,
the Supreme Court shall have original
jurisdiction. IN ALL OTHER CASES
before mentioned the Supreme Court
shall have appellate jurisdiction, both
as to law and fact, WITH SUCH Elk
captions AND UNDER SUCH
REGULATIONS AS CONGRESS
SHALL MAKE"
Now if Congress desires to enact a
law and deprive the Supreme Court Of
the power to declare the law %unconsti-
tutional, it is only necessary to insert in
that law the following or a similar
provision-
"The Supreme Court shall have no
jurisdiction either original or appellate
over this act or any portion thereof"
II seems to me that some Of our con-
stitutional lawyers in Congress could
easily have discovered this fact for
themselves, and thereby saved them
selves and the public considerable
breath. However, they would at the
same time destroyed a convenient
very convenient-alibi, SO possibly they
do not wish it to be known.
The Supreme Court has never had
the right to declare an act Of Congress
unconstitutional and consequently to
adopt a constitutional amendment bear
ing on that question at this time would
be in some degree a concession to the
Court. 1t would amount to a recogni-
ton of a power which the Court
usurped or stole, and to that extent
would be a backward step.
Very truly yours,
LEVERNE HAMILTON.

Florence Hotel Unfair
To MissOula Unions

The Butte Chamber Of Commerce
was notified to request the business
men who intend to make a good will
tour to Missoula and other places not
to stop at the Florence Hotel as this
hotel is unfair to the unions of Mis-
soula. The action on this request to
the Butte Chamber of Commerce was
taken at the Trades and Labor Coun-
ell Tuesday night. The following let
ter was received from the Missoula
Unions urging the Butte Unions to
assist them in making their boycott of
the Florence Hotel effective.

Missoula, Montana,
August "a, 1885.
Mr., Harry ]. Grimes,
Secretary Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council,
Butte, Montana.
Dear Sir and Brother
A news item in the local paper an
nounced that the business men of Butte
are coming to Missoula on a goodwill
tour in a neal future and that they will
lbe banqueted at the Florence Hotel.
This Hotel has been on the unfair list
for many years and has been declared
unfair State Wide by the convention Of
Montana Federation Of Labor. At the
present time the members Of Hotel and
Restaurant Employees Union are sue
cessfuliy picketing this Hotel.
1t occurred to some OF us that if you
will pass the word along to your friends
among the Butte business men you will
be doing them a favor as well as a
real favor to the local Restaurant Em-
lployees' Union.
There are ample facilities among the
restaurants fair to organized labor to
serve visiting guests without having to
patronize the only unfair Hotel in
town.
An publicity you may give to this
matter will be greatly appreciated.
Fraternally,

Townsend Program
Attracting Attention

On account OF the Congressional Dis
tricts in Montana being so large they
have been subdivided in the Townsend
set-up in order to make it possible for
their workers, who are volunteers, to
cover the State in the most efficient
manner. The Butte District is COM
prised OF Beaverhead, Deer Lodge,
Granite, JeffefEon, Madison, Powell,
and Silver Bow Counties, with Head
quarters at 1715 Lowell Ave, Butte.
There is a large and active Club in
Anaconda, which is adding numbers,
interest and more thorough knowledge
OF the Movement each week. A visit
by the District Manager to this Club a
few days ago, was received with en-
thusiasm, and the Club took strong
forward steps as a result OF a better
understanding of the working OF the
plan and the bright outlook for attain
ing what we are after.
A visit a few days ago, by the Dis
trict Manager, to the Deer Lodge Club
helped them to catch new inspiration
and to make some very decided steps
forward. They will likely double their
membership in the immediate future.
Every Club in Butte, is on tip-toe,
and adding members each week. One
Club has doubled membership three
times since February First. The
youngest Club here, only two months
old, reached the hundred mark this
week. Another has purchased more
than Sixty Dollars worth of furniture
and furnishings and has its own Club
rooms. They have been the most dar-
ing bunch OF Townsendites from the
very beginning. Still another of the
Clubs is located convenient to the bust
ness part of town and is beginning to
gather in business and professional
men into their membership.
The whole Movement was given a
boost by the visit and address, last
week, Of Senator Frank Arbuckle, a
member OF the National Board Of
Strategy OF the Townsend Movement
and members are already being re-
ceived as "a result. Many people will
get to hear DR.. Townsend at Great
Falls on Labor Day. Great prepare
tons are being made for him there.
The best news we have saved until
the last. Doctor Townsend will be in
Butte soon. Full details will be given
next week. This will be the biggest
event Of the year to the people OF
Butte and surrounding cities and COM
munities. This man Of the hour" will
have a message that will point us to

A CONGRESSMAN
COMMENTS
BY Hon. Joseph p. Monaghan
August "a, 1895.


Railroad Retirement Law Passed.
Congress indicated its progressive
ness during the past week by the pas
sage of legislation insuring jobs for
many thousands Of unemployed rail
road workers and providing retirement
pensions for other thousands who have
given their lives to %railroading, This
legislation, sponsored by Congressman
.Crosser, and in which | had the pleas
ure Of playing a prominent part, was
passed by the House and Senate only
after most strenuous work on the part
of the chiefs OF the railroad labor or
CARNATIONS. The bill takes the place
of the Retirement Act passed at the
last session which was set aside by a
Supreme Court decision as being UNI
constitutional. The misled and AFRO
giant railroad management lobby un-
successfully opposed the. bill at every
state.

Miners Wives Strike
Against Pork Prices
LADIES' AUXILIARY PROTESTS
HIGH PRICES.
(UNION SEAL,

AT the last meeting Of the Ladies
Auxiliary Of the Butte Miners Union
action was taken to place a boycott on
the purchase OF all pork products, in
GLIDING lard. The contention of the
women is that the price Of all pig prod
ucts is unwarrantably high. Bacon is
now selling at As cents a pound. Ham
and fresh pork are costing just as much
in proportion. No doubt the policies
practiced by the A. A. A. last year in
needlessly destroying thousands OF hogs
have had a good deal to do with the
tremendous rise in prices. On the other
hand the large packing concerns, ac-
cording to advices received by the
Ladies Auxiliary Union, are making
undue profits at the expense of the peo-
pie.
One phase of this question that
should be noticed by the packing outfits
is, that c a housewife starts to ,use
artificial shortening, by artificial is
meant a shortening other than that
made from lard or beef, she rarely if
ever goes back to the old familiar lard
pail. The women ask all affiliated
union housewives and friends to assist
then in making this boycott Of all pork
products effective. The recent strike
of housewives in New York City and
other Eastern cities, has had some in
~fluence in modifying the policies Of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton to the extent that no o waste
full Strengthening OF hogs will take place
and the area to be sown to grain has
lbeen increased.

FREEDOM OF DISCUSSION AND
ORGANIZATION

But these new ways cannot be found
unless men are free to discuss frankly
and openly the problems before them.
We rejoice in the great American prin-
ciple Of free speech and press which
is enthroned in our federal and state
constitutions. This principle has its
roots in the Christian faith. We would
solemnly point out that the changes
which must come in our economic set
up can come peaceablJ' only if the
channels of communication are kept
open. True Americans and true Chris
tians must be ever alert to repel any
attempts to deprive them OF these civil
rights so important in a democracy.
Moreover, they must champion these
rights for the weakest among us, for
if one group be suppressed it will only
be a question Of time until such sup

NEWS OF THE
TRADES COUNCIL
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
APPROVE RATE

A copy OF a resolution which was
recently adopted by the County Com
missioners relating to the prevailing
rate OF pay on works progress pro-
iects was received by the Council and
approved. The resolution Indicated
that the Silver Bow County Commits
sioners had %concurred in the request
OF the Trades and Labor Council sub
mitted to them some time ago in which
it was asked that this unit Of Govern
ment agree to the prevailing rate OF
wages on all projects sponsored by
them.
A telegram was read from Mr.. Hart,
which stated, that the dead line for
approval of work projects is Septem-
Der 4. The telegram urged more in
terest in submitting the projects and
gave a warning that unless these pro-
jects were submitted and approved
there would be no work and in-as-much
as the Government has practically cea-
sed all relief, unemployed people here
would have to be taken care of by
city, county, or charitable organiza-
tons.
Two letters were read from the Town
send organizations. One of them des-
cribed the phenomenal enthusiasm that
has been displayed wherever DR.. Town
send has spoken. The letters refer to
the tremendous audience at Yakima,
Spokane, and Seattle, Washington. Dr..
Townsend is scheduled to speak at
Anaconda and Deer Lodge. He will
also come to Butte but no definite date
has yet been set. A committee was
appointed to take care of the proposed
visit Of DR.. Townsend to Butte and
arrange a date.
The musicians union reported that
they are having ONE difficulty in the
matter OF Inherent musicians. These
nomadic minstrels offer their services
to anyone who will buy them and the
custom Of some Of the business estab-
lishments to use an %accordian player
or a mouth organ entertainer to at
tract customers is becoming too pre-
valent. The musicians union request
all union members to look for the mus
icians shop card in making their pur-
chases in places where beverages and
refreshments are served.
