DROBABLY the most famous toy
l. shop in America is Schwartz, on
Fifth-av. 1t started on lower Broad
way before the Civil War, when F.
A. o. Schwartz came here from
Germany. Everybody in town knew
him as Father Schwartz" because
he always was interested in the FAM
lies of his customers and prescribed
pink wooden pads and German Bit
tiers for all their ailments.
After his death, and as the store
moved uptown, the place became
more and more exclusive, which is
a nice euphemism for expensive"
Now it has dolls az large as the
little girls who select them, and toy
automobiles propelled by real gaso-
line engines.

Speaking of apartments and chill

S~mith-Hughes Courses
to Start November 4

Principal Scott Fries has announced
that the Smith-Hughes courses in me-
chanical drawing and machine shop
practice will start Monday evening, No
vember 4. These courses will be under
the direction of members Of the Butte
high school faculty and the classes
will meet in the high school building.
All men who are interested in these
courses are requested to report to the
high school annex Monday evening,
November 4, at 7 o'clock, at which time
meeting nights will be agreed upon and
general instruction given.
The purpose of the Smith Hughes
program is that men may secure courses
of instruction which will lead to their
improvement in the industry in which
they are already employed.
Registration is proceeding now at the
office of the superintendent Of schools
in the Administration building on the
Diesel engines and welding courses.
While it is not planned to begin these
courses until after the first of the year,
it will be necessary for students to en-
roll as soon as possible so that arrange
ments can be made to have the Diesel
engines and welding equipment shipped
to Butte.

Diesel Courses Invite
Ambitious Students

Ed Duncan, chairman Of the educa-
tional committee gave a very interest
ing report in regard to the establish
ment Of the school classes in Diesel en-
gineering and welding. A fee of ten
dollars will be charged to cover the ex-
penses. Several Diesel engines will be
on hand for use by the students. The
welding course consists of both e%lectri-
cal and acetylene. There is also to be
a course OF machine shop practice and
mechanical drawing. The machine
shop practice is confined almost en-
tirely to the members OF the Machinists
union. However, no such restrictions
prevail in regard to mechanical draw
ing, and Mr.. Duncan suggests that some
Of the students who intend taking the
welding should also take the mechani-
cal drawing course. The Diesel course
does not start until early in January
but the other courses begin on No
vember L.. These courses were an
nounced in the Montana Standard Of
October 10, and as there are quite a
few OF the labor %unionists interested in
these schools the news item from that
paper is printed herewith

Government Office
Help to Have Union

Delegate, Moore, chairman of the or
ganization committee, reported a meet
ing hat had been held by the o%rganiza-
ton committee and the committee rep
.resenting the proposed Government Of
flee Workers Union. The Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council is support
ing the request of the men and women
working in the Government offices, to
assist them in forming a trade union to
be affiliated with the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council. Reid Rob
inson is the permanent head of the or
ganization committee and at present is
at Atlantic City attending the conven-
ton OF the American Federation Of
Labor. It was intimated in the report
of Delegate Moore that Mr., Robinson
may be in possession of facts and in
formation upon his return, that will
materially assist in not only organizing
the Government clerical help, but also
in organizing all commercial stenog-
raphers and office workers. There has
been a strong sentiment for the need
OF such an organization for quite a
while and the local labor movement is
expectantly awaiting the return Of Rob
inson with news and the best procedure
to follow in this matter.

SCOTT
TO VISIT BUTTE

Mr.. D. w. Treat, representing Tech
nocracy incorporated, Of which Howard
Scott is the national head, spoke before
the Trades and Labor Council last
Tuesday evening. The purpose Of Mr..
Treats visit was to interest the labor
unions in a proposed visit of Mr.. Scott
to Butte about November first. Mr..
Treat said in part: 1--WE feel that all
people should hear Mr.. Scott. America
is facing a transitional period" Mr..
Treat posed the question "Wha is
holding up the full development Of
America He then went on to ex-
plain what the democratic organiza-
ton had done toward gathering stats
tics in order to show what the United
States, with its highly developed tech
biological and natural resources, was
possible OF doing in the way OF raising
the standard Of living Of the American
people. Mr.. Treat stated that at the
present time much Of the possible in
dustrial and technical development Of
the country was being held down be-
cause Of the price system. This comes
about because all the development and
production of industry and methods for
creating new wealth are shut down un-
less a profit can be made out of these
operations. The technocrats plan to
establish a social order in which certi-
Gates Of value will be issued for work
performed and the highest possible de-
velopment Of the Nations industry, in
vention and culture be obtained.

MINERS UNION TO
HOLD BIG DANCE

The Miners Union announces that a
dance will be held at their hall, 82H
East Park Street next Sunday evening,
October the twentieth, at nine o'clock.
The social functions, that are being
staged by the Miners Union are very
popular. The hall is large and the
music furnished by the organization is
Of the highest type. It appears that
the dances and card parties will be a
regular part Of the social program Of
the Miners Union throughout the win
ter months. The Miners also announce
that another card party will be held at
their hall on Monday evening, October
the twenty-eighth. A committee has
arranged a program Of entertainment
which will take place prior to the open
ing OF the card party. This entertain
ment will consist Of singing and vaude-
vile acts by local talent. Valuable
prizes will again be given to the best
players. The recent card parties held
by the Miners union were very sue
cessful and the attendance was very
gratifying. 1t looks as if the Miners
Union will be the center Of much social
activity throughout the coming winter.

BROWN in LEAD
FOR PRESIDENT

Thomas H. Brown of the Butte En-
gineers' Union is still in the lead for
the race for international president Of
the Mine, Mill and Smelterworkers'
union, with headquarters in Salt Lake
City.
All the returns of the election must
be in the hands Of the general office
not later than October IS, but the To-
Gals throughout the United States will
not receive the complete returns until
the twenty-fifth Of October. In addi-
ton to the returns which were pub
lished last week the following should
be added now. Mullan, Idaho, for
president, Thomas H. Brown, "a;
James Robinson, 4. For Vice President,
George R. Coles, 5; Oar Orlich, 20;
Frank S. Holman, 3. For Secretary
Treasurer, John Sherwood of McGill,
Nevada, II; Fred w. Brown Of Vir-
ginia, Mimi, 10, and from Pitcher, Okla
homa, in the tri-state district, Thomas
H. Brown, 88; James Robinson, 1l3;
Vice President George r. Coles, l4l
Dan Orlich, 81, and Frank S. Holman,
20, For Secretary-Treas John Sher-
wood, 70, and Fred w. Brown, 100.
The returns from Ruth, Nevada, show
that Robinson was a high favorite, re-
turns are as follows Thomas H.
Brown, 2; James Robinson, 2O3; Vice
President George r. Coles, 7; Dan Or
Itch, II; Frank s.. Holman, 1885,; Sec
retary-Treasurer John Sherwood, ZOE,
and Fred w. Brown, 2.
While these three locals indicate that
the race is not over and that Thomas
Brown has not won the election, it still
does not materially change the lead
which he had last week, which was
given him by the unions of Butte, Ana
conda and Great Falls.

TO ALL CENTRAL LABOR UNIONS
Dear Sirs and Brothers
On July 10Th we addressed you a let
ter explaining the seriousness of our
controversy with John Morrell and
Company, Packers. We have received
most generous cooperation from coast
to coast on this matter, nevertheless,
the controversy is not as yet won
Our strikers at Sioux Falls are being
evicted from their homes. Their lights
and gas are being cut off. The money
our International Union is sending is
used principally for food. The strikers
have pitched camp near the very gates
of the Morrell Company and intend to
fight it out there if it takes all winter.
The Morrell Company are having the
strikers discharged from temporary
Jobs as this concern completely owns
the town of Sioux Falls. No business
man dares to buck them.
Despite these deplorable conditions,
our International Union is NOT ASK
ING FINANCIAL SUPPORT from
your affiliated organizations. We feel
we will be able to meet the situation.
What we need more than anything
else is your complete MORAL SUP
PORT.
Include, won't you please, in your
news letters that members are not TO
purchase any of the products Of the
John Morrell Company. Prevail upon
meat merchants whenever possible not
to %patronize such a concern who de-
sires in the twentieth century to impose
fifteenth century feudalism upon their
employees.
Assuring you of our deep apprecia-
ton Of any cooperation extended in this
matter, we remain
F%raternally yours,

BARRIERS WARN AGAINST
UNFAIR
BEAUTY SHOPS

The BARRIERS are complaining about
the patronage that is being given the
unfair beauty schools, namely Madam
McCarrolrs and the Lewis Beauty
Shop. 1t would be particularly en-
barrassing if some OF these names
should be published in the Montana
Labor News. There is no valid reason
why these schools shouldn't live up to
the union conditions. The public is
again asked to render their support to
lhe unions, stopping the violations OF
union practices by %patronizing these
places.

By Robt. E. Clements,
National Secretary.
Montana labor news., 1935-10-17

Each application is to be filed with
the county clerk and recorder OF each
county, who is clerk Of the county old
age pension commission, and such ap-
plications will be passed upon by the
county old age commission at their
monthly meetings, which in Carter
county will be on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday Of each month.
Each application will be decided upon
its own merits and the amount Of mon
thly pension to be granted will depend
on the resources, income, etc, OF each
individual applying. No stipulated
amount is to be granted each eligible
pensioner, as the National Security
law does not operate on the basis of
the proposed Townsend old age pen
sion system.
Those persons desiring to apply for
old age pensions should file their APP
plication with the local county clerk
and recorder as soon as possible. All
necessary blanks can be obtained at
his office. After an application has
been approved by the county old age
commission, the same will be forward
ed TO the state office at Helena, and
when funds are available payments will
commence.
1t is not anticipated that funds will
be available until after Jan. |, 1886, but
the old age commission desires that
applications be acted upon before that
date.
The county old age pension COM
mission is composed OF the three mem
bers Of the board OF county commits
s%ioners, the county attorney, the county

UNCLE WIGGHY'S TRAFFIC
LIGHTS

One day when Uncle Wiggily was
out riding in his automobile that
had fat bologna SauSages for tires
he sprinkled some red pepper on
them to go faster. This was what
he always did when he wanted 10
speed a little in looking for an ad-
venture.
But. as it happened, no sooner
had the rabbit gentleman put red
pepper on his bologna tires to go
fast than the traffic light at the
corner changed from green to red.
Uncle Wiggily put on his brakes
and tried to stop but the pepper
was making him go so fast he
couldn't. Thus he passed the red
light and at once the traffic cop
blew his whistle and barked:
Pull over 10 the curb!"
''Oh, dear mel" thought Mr..
Longears as he did what he was
told Now I suppose III get a
ticket"
But the traffic police dog was a
jolly chap. He had seen Uncle
Wiggily before but he pretended he
hadn't and barked at him:
Where's the fire?"
What fire?" asked Mr.. Longears.
why, though you were going
to a fire the way you speeded past
the red light" said the traffic po-
lice dog.
Too Much Pepper on Tires
"Oh, no, officer. 1t was just that
had too much pepper on my bo-
logna tires" said Uncle Wiggily.
I'm sorry and"
well, don't let it happen again"
growled the dog. Pull out. You're
lucky I didn't give you a ticket"
Eyes, I guess 7 am said the rab-
bit gentleman. He drove more
slowly after that. out TO the woods,
where he left his auto TO hop
around and look for an adventure.
He had almost found a jolly one
when, all of a sudden. out from be-
hind a stump popped the Bob Cat
with his silly little tail no larger
than a tWo-for-a-c cent lollypop.
Luckily, Uncle Wiggily saw the Bad
Chap in time TO hop back to his
auto and start away.
IN put a lot of pepper on my
tires and 60 as last as I can to
fool the Bob Cat" said Uncle Wig
gily. This he did and as he had
no more traffic lights to pass he
didn't get caught. Soon ne was
