BY SALLIE v. Fl. PICKETT.

While Mrs. Roosevelt announces the
White House social season late in
starting on account of repairs still
going on in the mansion, there is no
sign of delays along other channels.
Embassies and legations are scheduled
for their usual quota of interesting
affairs, the Egyptian Legation holding
its annual reception Wednesday IN
celebration of the anniversary of the
accession to the throne of his majesty,
King Fouad I, and a reception at the
Cuban Embassy the following day to
celebrate historic day in Cuba, the
first move for independence from the
Spanish yoke, and smaller events in
the corps in honor of visiting officials
from other countries.
The debutantes, and after all the
early season greatly belongs to them,
will step on the gas Saturday night
when the first rollicking event in their
honor, the tackey ball. will take place
at the Mayfiower. Formality will be
thrown to the winds and in contrast
to the really stately black and white
ball coming later on for them, there
will be a hoydenish abandon that is
supposed to place them on more
popular footing with the stronger sex.
Exaggerated costumes. bizarre decora-
tions, curiously conceived and con-
cocted viands and drinks and music in
tune with the whole program will
: blend to make up such an evening as
society seldom enjoys.
Later comes a reception with the
Secretary of State and Mrs. Hull as
hosts and the Carlton giving the set
ting, while the delegates to the Sec
ond assembly of the Pan-American
Institute of Geography and History
will furnish the guests. The assembly
opening here october IA carries a
bulging program in both social and
more serious way. Embassies and
legations will open their doors and
spread their tables for hospitality in
honor of the delegates from their re-
spective countries. The. sessions will
be held in that lofty ana beautiful
room, the Hall of the Americas In
the Pan-American Union where Pres
idents and high officials Of this and
other Pan-American countries have
been entertained. While it was hoped
the lovely old residence of the Sumner
Wellesses on Massachusetts, avenue
where the latters mother, the late Mrs
Richard H. Townsend, held sway over
Washington society for many years
might be opened for some one OF
these important events, the official
program merely states that Mr.. Sum
ner Welles, Assistant Secretary OF
State, will give luncheon for the
distinguished visitors at midday Thurs
day, october II. 30.
Mrs! Roosevelt is scheduled for the
White House tomorrow for perhaps
an all too brief visit-her gay and
sunny disposition always making her
welcome She always sets the world
of in good humor and she always has
something helpful to say. She is
scheduled for q speech in Los An
geles, October IA, when her theme
will be human mobilization. Those
.fother delightful Roosevelts, the AS
sistant Secretary Of the Navy and
Mrs. Henry L. Roosevelt, are due
-Ehere this week from their New York
home, and there also comes word that
sthe Henry L. Stimsons viii open beau-
tiful old Woodley in the late Autumn
when society may sip tea and warm

Highway PatrOlman
Menaces Truck Driver

An incident occurred on the High
way just out of Helena recently which
might have had tragical end It was
only through sheer good fortune that
the life Of a truck driver was spared
from the carelessness and the wreck
lessness OF one Of the State Highway
Patrol officers. In this particular in
cident two trucks we're going down the
highway, one in front of the other. A
patrolman appeared upon the scene
and signaled the first truck driver to
stop The driver of the second truck,
upon getting signal from the patrol
man, thought that he was commanded
to go ahead which he did. He had not
gone far when the patrolman started
shooting The driver of the truck was
in an enclosed cab and with the noise
of the motor it was impossible for him
to hear the reports. Fortunately none
Of the bullets took effect and non one
was injured, but this occurrence should
be warning to the patrolmen to be
certain that their signals are thorough
ly understood before they commence
using ammunition and either seriously
wounding some innocent truck driver
or perhaps put him in his grave.
It shouldn't be difficult for a high
motorcycle to overtake a
truck Admitting that bullets are fast
er and more impressive such undue en-
phasis placed in the hands of irrespon-
sible authority can wreck untold havoc
and suffering.

Miners May Join
Mexican Union

The Miners Union has taken official
action in regards to an amalgamation
OF the Miners and Smeltermens un-
ions OF the United States with the same
organizations in Mexico. The subject
of consolidation and a better under
standing of the two groups was men
toned in the Montana Labor News a
few weeks ago and again in a letter
from George Tewksbury Of Tuscon,
Arizona. Mr. Tewlsbury in the com
urged the union to push the
oonsumation OF this project through,
statements made by officers of the
Miners Union it seems likely now that
a plan to effect the merger Of the two
unions will be presented to the Ex-
ecutive Board OF the National Union
Of Miners and Smeltermen at the next
session in November

Very few people are fortunate
enough or unfortunate enough to be
placed in positions, where the PHYSICAL,

may be observed and studied. To
those who are placed in these positions
much OF the idealism and superficial

stern reality and a more comprehensive

No doubt their future lives are in

broad before it should be more SO now.
As President OF the Trades and La

Farmers National Policy
We demand as national policy:

We demand as a national policy.
Whereas, the present economic crisis
plainly shows that the capitalist own
ed system of industry has outlived its
usefulness in that it cannot under the
profit system equitably distribute the
production OF wealth; and,
Whereas, it is necessary to replace
the capitalist system with a new econ
omic order, which will end unemploy-
ment, hunger, misery, and war; and
Whereas the only alternative for
the capitalist system is the co-opera-
tive system
Whereas, the easiest and quickest
way to substitute cooperative or pop
ular ownership for private ownership
Of large industries or public utilities is
by government itself; therefore,
Be it resolved, that we, the delegates
to the Montana State Convention OF

The internal controversy between 10
building trades unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor re-
lative to the building trades department
OF the federation was settled when
the 1885 convention Of the federation
in Atlantic City concurred with an
agreement reached by representatives
OF the unions concerned
Labor officials predicted that the
amicable adjustment OF the controversy
which had lasted for more than year

ment with solid front in its campaign
for the 3O-hour week applicable to all
industries.

the settlement Of the controversy.
This will cheer the heart OF every
friend Of organized labor" he said
This is great day. know of no
achievement in the history of fedora
ticn conventions that equals this It
cannot be surpassed.
1T demonstrates that we have the
patience, the brains and the ability to
settle our own family quarrels. If we
can settle one as difficult and compli-
Gated as this we ought to be able to
settle everything that arises in our
family circle"
Terms of Settlement
According to the terms Of the settle
ment plan adopted by the building
trades and approved by the A. F. OF L.

the McDonough group will each ap-
point three members to an adjustment

differences by a majority vote If the
committee is unable to agree they will
name seventh member by majority
vote.
In case the committee cannot agree

therhood Of Railway Clerks, who ar
ranged the settlement in the role OF
mediator, until both parties submit the
name of the same individual Then
Mr.. Harrison is authorized to appoint
that person as the impartial or seven
tn member Of the committee.
The committee was instructed to
reach an agreement not later than 80
days from October IA. The findings
of the committee will be final and bind
ing on all parties to the controversy
and will be submitted to convention
of the 10 building trades union for rati-
fication. Pending the action OF the
convention neither Of the building trad
es groups will be recognized by the

ROLPH REELECTED
HEAD OF FARMERS

Montana farmers, young and old
gathered at Lewistown last week and
endorsed legislative program spon-
sored by the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union that goes long
ways towards restoring Montana to the
people of this state. 1t was the 10th
convention OF the organization, the best
attended, most constructive and most
successful ever held.
With approximately 500 persons at
tending the meeting was probably the
most constructive gathering ever held
in the state. Throughout the delibera-
tions sound idealism based upon prac-
tical tactics was advocated The pro-
gras is rooted in the nationwide needs
and experiences Of agriculture Along
with the farsighted objective, the es-
tablishment OF Cooperative Common
wealth, are daring measures designed
to bring Immediately to agriculture the
relief, the fair play and the justice that
is long overdue.
Juniors Work Pleases
Most hopeful OF the Farmers Union
program is the work among the jun
iors This department has grown by
leaps and bounds in recent months
and already leaders Of tomorrow are
being prepared by contact with the
leaders OF today. The Junior depart
ment work, broadcast by radio on sue
cessive afternoons, was the most inn
pressive feature OF the convention.
These young boys and girls of Mon
tana farms are growing up with ideal
istic objectives that they will be able
to promote by practical procedure

a. F. Kathen OF Pondera county, mem
Der Terminal association board ]. r.
Kelly OF Carbon county, member OF
the exchange board
Opposes. Sales Tax
Spirited debate on the floor OF the
convention accompanied the introduc-
ton Of measures and resolutions that
run contrary to the broad national pro
gram of the Farmers Union Among
these the Townsend plan brought the
hardest fighting. In complete sympa-
thy with an adequate old age pension
plan, the delegates by a narrow mar
gin steered the Union clear of flat
endorsement OF the Townsend plan.
Only the argument that the fund must
be raised by some other means than a
sales tax saved the day for the conven-
tons leaders who opposed this form Of
taxation.
But the Farmers Union will join with
all sponsors Of an old age security pen
sion, adequate to care for needs OF the
states veteran citizens, when some plan
other than the sales tax is advocated
Leaders pointed out that the Union
year after year had sternly opposed
the sales tax as the medium Of Big Bus
mess to shift the tax burden on down
to the ultimate consumer.
