ABLE PROVIDENCE SQUAD OPPOSES
 CLAIRMONT TEAM
Sunday Game at Hamilton Park Assures Fine Foot
 ball Attraction

Eddie Di Napolrs Clairmont Steamrollers will pry off the lid for the home season when they encoun- ter the strong and highly touted Providence Bradleys for the fourth timO in as many seasons at Hamil- ton park tomorrow afternoon start ing at 2:30 o'clock.
 For the past three years the Bradleys have made a big hit by playing the Clairmonts. Although losing in all their engagements with the local squad, the Providence out fit thrilled the large crowd of fans by their constant aerial attack and amazing foot work. Tomorrow aft ernoon the invaders will attempt to break the jinx that has been hang ing over them in the series.
 Triple Threat Tripaldi
 Tomorrow the team from Little Rhody" will march on the East End gridiron with a triple threat in "Slasher" Tribaldi, one of the best gridsters ever to wear a Bradley uni form and stellar player in Rhode Island football circles. With the addition of several former high school stars to its lineup, the Provi- dence team has added an added punch in the combination of three colored players. These colored boys along with Tribaldi have been the chief noisemakers in the Bradley's three straight victories this year. With this new attack the visitors are coming here with confidence by pressing the Steamrollers down in defeat.
 All Ready
 Coach Di Napoli has drilled his warriors to perfection for this major battle. Patrick Lerz and Ohio Gin nelli, backfield crushers, will be combined in the backfield to hold down any attempt tally while the following former high school aces will be on hand to lend their ser vices: Frank Egan, Johnny Barnes and Winnie Stroberg, Turk J'An- thony, "Spud" Spiotti, captain, and Mike Di Napoli, the Steamrollers' human stone-wall, will no doubt puzzle their opponents.
 A record crowd is promised for the game. Henry Darlington, Chick Kelley and John Cluney will be the officials.
 The probable lineups are as fol- lows:

Liquor Board Drive
Should Include Dives

Not a little interest has developed in
union circles in reference to the res
training order issued by District Judge
Downey to prevent the Montana Lig-
uor Control Board from cancelling the
beer license Of the Bunny Hug Beer
Parlor.
The unions tie this matter up with
the activities of the Liquor Control
Board in recent months in their cam
paign to compel compliance with the
liquor law. A large number Of I'M
ion men and women have been effected
by this campaign and thrown out OF
employment. The State Liquor Board
is composed of Governor Cooney, Sec
rotary of State, Sam Mitchell and At
torney General, Maggie.
1t appears at times that law enforce
ment efforts are designed to injure
members of certain unions and not
to correct the condition of law viola
ton. This impression arises from the
fact that nearly all of the enforcement
efforts have been directed toward clos
ing establishments that employ labor
and occupy a conspicuous place in the
business district Of the community,
while the dive and the out of the way
place is left unmolsted.

BUILDING PERMITS IN
PRINCIPAL CITIES

A sharp gain featured building con
struction in October Secretary Of La
Dor Frances Perkins announced today
Uuesday). "The most pronounced in
crease over the previous month was in
the value of residential construction
which showed a pickup of more than
"a percent" she said. Virtually all
parts of the country shared in the in
crease. The value of all building con-
struction for which permits were is
sued during the month increased 17.6
percent, the total valuation being $87,-
$4,000 as against $74,l00,M in Sep
TENDER.
Compared with a year ago, the value
of building for which permits were is
sued shows an increase OF ISL per cent.
The Oct. permit valuation for residen-
tial buildings was nearly three times as
great as during the same month Of the
preceding year. The value of both
residential and nonresidential construc-
ton in October 1885 was greater than
in the corresponding month Of any
since 1881"

TANNERY SHOULD REMAIN
IN BUTTE

A resolution was adopted by the
Trades and Labor Council pertaining
to the continuance OF the Tannery in
Butte. The tanning industry was set
up at the lower end OF South Montana
Street under the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration. The plant was
purchased from the Hansen Packing
Company. 1t has been employing about
three hundred men.
The leather workers organization re-
ported at the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil that the plant may have to close
down on December 5, through the lack
OF funds. The Council was also noti-
fled that the tanning operations will
be moved to Miles City.
1t does make one wonder why, when
an industry is started in Butte, that it
only lasts a little time and is then TAX
en- out Of here, or why after an office
is set up in Butte, it is shortly there
after transported to another city. At
any rate there is a movement on foot
to take the tannery out Of Butte. 1t
will be a pity if it is, but the Govern
ment isn't any different from any in
dividual or any other firm and is pro-
badly being influenced by a little pre-
ssure.

combined ma e new Park Theatre
ia place of y and utility. The
The Park ire Company, z. P.
White, president; E. r. Harris, treas
urer ;and William Woolfall, manager;
has expended in excess of $l5,000.00 in
new furniture, new seats, new rugs,
and new draperies, together with in
terror alterations, new electrical devil
ces, painting and decorating. The new
artistic arrangement is a combination
OF the colors green and orange and
black and gold. The effect is strik-
ingly beautiful. The Clayton Painting
Company has the contract to do the
decorating work and outline the color
scheme. Shipping and other art fea-
lures is being done under the direction
OF +. A, Stamm. The decorative plan
is introduced in Butte from the recent
Worlds Fair at Chicago.
Butte painters and Butte carpenters
and other Butte building craftmen are
being employed. The American Seat
ing Company of Grand Rapids, Michi-
gan, furnished the chairs, Two men
were sent by the company to Butte to
s%uperintend the installation of the
seats.
Nine hundred new seats have been
installed and they invite relaxation. The
chairs are fully upholstered and the
backs are covered with a fine mater
ial in black and gold. In the aisles
are placed electric lamps to aid the
usher and the patrons. All the other
material was provided from Butte
stores. The Sinner Furniture Com
pany supplied the beautiful carpets.
The Sullivan Electric Company was
gwen the contract for the alterations
in electrical devices and the installa-
ton OF new electrical equipment. New,
beautiful parchment shades OF various
hues will adorn the lamp globes. The
ladies lounging room has been redecor-
ated, recarpeted and provided with
soft and pleasing new lighting arrange
ments.
Another striking aspect Of the inter
ior Identification OF the premises are
the green and gold silk panels that are
placed at separate intervals on the
walls. The curtain Grapes separating
the stage from the audience are OF light
golden color, with a thick, rich flossy
texture.
The Improvements that have been
made by the Park Theatre Company
came at a very opportune time in re-
spect to organized labor in providing
employment for a large number Of
craftsmen.

Sugar Company Must
Pay Arrest Damages

Special to the Montana Labor News.
Helena, Nov. 26-The damage suit OF
John Ford against the Great Western
Sugar Company was heard in the Dis
trict Court at Billings last week. The
Jury was out d hours and brought in
a verdict Friday awarding Ford $5l.Uo
for false Imprisonment arising out OF
the lockout at the Billings sugar fac
tory last January.
The case has created intense interest
in Eastern Montana, and apparently
shows that the court in Billings is much
more favorable to the sugar magnates
than to injured workers.
The history OF the case is as fol
lows
Last winter a demand for an increase
Of wages was made by the Federal
Labor union on the Great Western
Sugar company at Billings, the COM
pany locking the union men out and
trying to operate the factory with
scabs, but the union maintained a
strong picket line which wa effective,
and the company could not get enough
scabs to operate the plant.
However, one day the company got
a bunch of scabs and thugs to rush the
picket line, and proceeded to beat up
the pickets. A fight ensued and the
sheriff and his deputies were called to
the scene. Eleven pickets were arrest
ed and thrown in jail. When trial was
had, the strikers were found not guilty
Of rioting before a jury in a justice
OF the peace court.
One Of the men arrested was John
Ford of Billings, 70 years OF age, who
had been employed by the company
as a stationary engineer for % years,
having had a good record with the
company. Ford had joined the union
and stayed by his convictions. Yet
John Ford always counseled the strik-
ers to be peaceful.
During the strike Ford went to the
sugar factory to get the pay due him,
and was standing by a fire which the
pickets maintained, when he was ar
rested. He was not mixed up in the
melee in any way when the sugar fac
tory toughs started the rough house
work against the picket line. Yet he
was thrown in jail and remained there
almost an entire day until bailed out.
During the trial Judge Goddard, who
is one OF the judges in the District
Court in Billings, went on the stand
and testified as t. the standing Of the
sugar company officials in Billings,
stating they were honorable citizens.
Here was a spectacle that has rarely,
if ever, been witnessed in Montana,
where a District Judge Of the court
in which a trial is taking place will go
on the stand and testify as to the
character of men, good or bad, who
started a riot in his home town.
Judge Stong of Billings, who pre-
sided at the trial, showed considerable
bias against the union men during the
trial. He admitted everything that the

Against War
Requests President
To Prohibit Shipment.

In a letter to President Roosevelt,
DR.. Harry F, Ward, National Chair
man of the American League Against
War and Fascism, urges the prohibi-
ton OF the sale and shipment of gas
oline and oil to the nations now fight
ing in Africa. In the name of the Am
erican League and the millions Of other
citizens who want this wal stopped,
DR.. Ward declares that the cessation
of American shipments Of these pro-
ducts will prevent the United States
from being the main source of sup
|ply. Dr.. Ward also requests the Mexi-
can League Against War and Fascism
to make a similar appeal to the Presi-
dent OF Mexico.
The text of the letter to President
Roosevelt follows
president Franklin D. Roosevelt,
The White House,
Washington, D. c.,
Dear Mr.. President:
When you issued the order prohibi.
ting the sale and shipment Of certain
materials Of war to the nations now
fighting in Africa, you expressed the
wish that hostilities might speedily
terminate.
In so doing, you recognized and shar-
ed in the manifest desire Of Congress
in passing the neutrality act, that oul
labor and goods should not help othel
nations to make war upon each other
Permit me therefore to call your at
tention to the fact that certain OF oul
products are now, and will be, con
tributing to the prolongation of hosti.
Hties in Africa. Without gasoline anC
oil, or airplanes, tanks and trucks, wa
in Ethiopia must stop,
There are only a few countries from
which that oil and gasoline can be sec
ured. Most Of them have agreed tc
prevent the shipment of their product.
to Africa after November 18th. II
war goes on after that date, this coun-
try will be the main possible source

Italy has purchased here in Septem-
Der and October twice the mount OF
gasoline she usually buys here a year.
Therefore, in the name OF nearly two
million people represented by the
American League Against War and
Fascism, and in the name OF millions
more of our citizens who want the war
in Africa to stop, | urge you to I'M
mediately issue an order, under the
powers conferred upon you by Con
|gress, prohibiting the sale and shipment
OF gas or oil to the nations now fight
ing in Africa.
/ am requesting the Mexican League
Against War and Fascism to make 4
similar appeal to the President Of Mex

1t is not necessary for the Canadian
League Against War and Fascism to
do likewise, since that country is re-
presented in the League Of Nations.
Sincerely yours,

W. P. A. Workers To
Get Full Time

The Grievance Committee reported
that men assigned to w. P. A. pro-
jects would be allowed the full bud
get whether they had worked the full
time or not. This statement is in re-
lation to instances where many of the
men had not been able to complete
their full time before the expiration
of the month.
Many OF the men were only able to
get in six and one half or seven days
at the time the w. P. A. month ex-
PRED. According to the report of the
committee, these men will be paid the
full nine and one half days because,
through the original ruling, the Gov
eminent had stipulated that workers
would be paid full security earnings
wage where, through no fault Of their
own they were unable to do so. A sur
vey is to be made Of all wages paid
crafts in Silver Bow County in order
that the State w. P. A.. administra-
ton can determine whether the re
asked for by the unions is the correct
figure or not.
The General Laborers' organization
said that they now had contracts with
the Montana Power Company, the As
sociated Industries, and the Butte Wat
er Company providing for the 72c per
hour rate and here is no reason what
ever why the State w P. A. should
not pay this scale. One Of the com
mittee reported that the question was
asked the officers in Helena if they
had authority to pay the 72c scale and
the answer was, yes, that they did
have the authority,
Now the unions want to know why
this 72c scale is not being paid. 1t is
no use for the Works Progress Ad-
ministration to try to hedge out on this
matter or to tie the scale up by saying
that they are going to make a survey.
There is no need Of a survey. The
rate Of unskilled labor in Silver Bow
County is &c; that is what the other
industries are paying and that is what
the w. P. A. is going to pay.

Harvester Cigar Unfair

Dutch Masters.
Union men are requested not to
smoke any Of these scab cigars.
According to the Central Labor Coun-

mington, California, has been declared
unfair. This company told the world
that it is being conducted on an open
shop basis and asks the public for CO.

The unions struck against this COM
pany because they refused to permit
collective bargaining. A list OF all the

handling any of the products produc-
ed by this company.
