FORT PECK AREA
CENTRAL BODY

That new unions are being formed in
the Fort Peck area is evidenced by the
recent formation of a central labor
council at Glasgow. The State Fedora
ton of Labor has taken a very active
part in the formation OF these unions
since the Government started its op-
erations there. Many abuses existed
at Fort Peck Some of these, however,
are being cleaned up. The State Fed
Grafton of Labor was able to stamp out
some violations of the state law which
existed there. The Building Trades at
Fort Peck have been the most active
in the creation of the new unions
The formation of the new central coun-
Gil at Glasgow is one of the most
encouraging bit OF news that has come
from Eastern Montana for a long time
The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council and the Montana Labor News
extend their congratulations to the
new organization and wish it success.
The following communication was re-
ceived from the secretary OF the Glas-
gov unions.

He said the act was mot in purpose
or in effect a regulation of commerce" ."
In vetoing the pensions statute the
majority opinion went far afield and
made the declaration that matters con-
cerning solely social welfare Of working
men and women obviously lie outside
the orbit of Congressional power"
Justices Van Devanter, Butler, Suth-
erland and McReynolds aligned them
selves with Justice Roberts in the judi
cial attack on the powers Of Congress.
Hughes Dissents
In a vigorous minority opinion Chief
Justice Hughes, joined by Justices Bra
ndeis, Stone and Cardoza, attacked the
majority opinion with the blunt declara-
ton that the Federal Constitution in
its delegation OF control OF interstate
commerce to Congress conferred upon
that body complete authority to enact
the railway pension law.
"The gravest aspect of the declara-
tion' Chief Justice Hughes said, is
that it does not rest simply upon a
condemnation of particular features OF
the Railroad Retirement Act, but denies
to Congress the power to pass any
compulsory pension act for railroad
employees.
1t could not be denied that the SOW
ereign power to govern interstate COM
merce extends to the regulation Of their
relations with their employees who like
wise are engaged in interstate com
merce.

Justice for Workers Involved
Congress may, indeed, it seems to

that purpose might be passed, But not
a pension act. The governments pow
