NEW YORK.-(FP)-Robert Green.
alias Thomas Walker, Hearst feature
writer, is going to have plenty OF time
to write during the next six and one-
half years.
For Green - or Walker, as he call
ed himself when he wrote a series OF
articles for the Hearst press exposing
famine conditions in the Soviet I'M
ion is headed back to the Colorado
state penitentiary from which he escap-
ed several years ago. He had been
sentenced to an Swear term for for
gerry.
Walker was arrested and convicted
recently in New York for falsifying
passport statements but sentence was
suspended by Federal Judge Caffey so
that the Colorado officers could take
their man.
Hearst bumped into Walker in Eur
ope, it has been revealed, and made
the deal whereby Walker was to de-
liver the famine stories over to the
Hearst organization in New York City.
The articles brought much criticism
from those who knew the facts and his
statements have been proved false.

Both the Building Trades Council and the Silver
Bow Trades & Labor Council Go On Record in
Favor of the Erection of New ~Building-Build-
ing Trades Voice Their Objection to Obstruc-
ton Tactics.

The Building Trades Council has
gone on record in favor Of the cree
ton of the new high school. This new
building would be the means OF en-
ploying a great number OF craftsmen
who are now idle and also supplying
other men and women with employ
ment in offices furnishing the equip
ment and in bringing supplies to the
site and in various other ways. The
City Of Butte needs a new high school
and needs it very badly. When one
goes to Great Falls, or Havre, or some
OF the other towns throughout the
state of Montana and sees the beauti-
ful new high schools that have been
erected in those towns, it causes one
to wonder what is the matter with Sill
yer Bow County, and why it is that
there is so much antagonism engen-
dered to something that is so essen
.tial to the safety and education of the
children and the beauty of the COM
munity. The Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council went on record in favor
OF the new high school. The labor
unions are unanimous in their demand
that this project be carried out. Re-
cent action by a group of citizens in
filing a complaint in the district court
to have a writ Of injunction issued
against the board of school trustees
to prevent them from issuing bonds for
the building of the high school is not
looked upon with favor by the unions.
1t is hoped that this monkey wrench
now thrown into the machinery will
not have the effect of delaying the
starting OF this project.
A committee from the Building
Trades Council was appointed to visit
the officers of the South Side Tax
Payers meeting and present the side
OF the Building Trades to the officers
and to the meeting. It was clearly
shown by the Building Trades COM
mittee, at this meeting, that they we're
indignant over the action OF this group
in attempting to thwart the construc-
ton OF the new high school. The
Building Trades have reached the end
OF their patience in relation to the
ob%structionist tactics that have con
tinued throughout this whole endeavor
to place members OF their organiza-
ton at work. The erection of this
building presents a golden opportunity
to put into employment every craft
composing the Building Trades organi-
zation. The committee from the
Building Trades Council has personally
visited every officer OF the South Side
Tax Payers Association and has in
formed them in very definite language
that they want the opposition OF that
organization removed from the field.
The tolerance OF the labor organiza-
tons has been taxed to the utmost in
this matter. 1t is hoped that the board
of school trustees will continue firm in
their determination to go through with
the building program now that the
has signified its willing
ness to assist financially in the matter.
The near future should witness the be-
ginning OF excavation work on the
grounds that have been chosen for the
construction Of the building. The
unions are not concerned where the
building is to be erected as long as it
erected some place.

ABOUT THE TRANSIENT CAMP

Quite a bit OF discussion arose over
the establishment of a permanent
transient camp. President Erler re-
ported to the delegates that a move
ment was on foot to create a perma-
len transient camp out at the Marcus
DAILY race track, south Of Butte. lie
was brought out that should this per-
manent camp be established in Butte,
that the lumber to remodel the build
ings would probably be obtained at
Kalispell, or in that district. Some of
the delegates Of the Building Trades
objected to any attempt by the Gov
eminent to permit the transient people
10 haul the lumber or to erect any OF
the Improvements or make any changes
in the buildings. If any changes are
made and if any lumber is used, these
changes should be made by the local
craftsmen at the prevailing rate Of pay
and the lumber should be hauled by
the local union at the prevailing rate of
pay. 1t seems that the program to be
in effect at this permanent transient
camp consists Of board and room and
a fee of $500 a week to each worker Of
the camp. The discussion which had
formerly arisen in the Trades and La
Dor Council over the camp at the old
macaroni factory indicated that the
Trades and Labor Council had already
gone on record as opposed to any ap-
proval to take care of transients here
for more than forty-eight hours. The
establishment of a permanent camp
met with quite a little hostility and its
creation voted down. Mr.. Erler also
covered the relief situation as related
by Mr.. Wilcox, proprietor of the cafe
ON Front Street, near the N. P. Depot.
This cafe has now been closed, no
more meals are being given out. In
order to show the extent to which this
relief meal situation had developed,
Mr.. Erler gave some figures that were
reported to him by Mr.. Wilcox, He
stated that 2,132 meals had been served
in August to the transients, 1921 in
September and 2,657 in October of last
year.

NEWS OF The
TRADES COUNCIL

News received by the Trades and
Labor Council Tuesday indicated that
DR.. Townsend will not be able to speak
in Butte on Labor Day as originally
planned.
The Maohinists' Union notified the
Trades and Labor Council that they
would not recognize the new Montana
State Labor Council.
=
The State Fire Marshall, H. c. Par
sons, and the State Auditor, John J.
Holmes, visited the Trades and Labor
Council and both OF the men spoke in
connection with the stand that has
been taken by the State Auditors Of
flee in relation to the State Insurance
law. After closing his talk Mr.. Holmes
asked the delegates if they would like
to present any questions. Senator
Garrison of Madison County, who was
in attendance at the meeting in the in
terests OF the tanners unions, asked
the State Auditor to give a more COM
prehensive explanation OF the various
rates in different counties and on
various county buildings and not to
confine himself strictly to the rate ap-
piled on the Butte schools. Either Mr..
Holmes didn't care to become involved
in a technical discussion OF the bill on
the floor OF the Trades and Labor
Council, out of consideration Of the
delegates, or he wanted to evade the
question presented by the Senator of
Madison County, as it was left un-
answered. Some OF the delegates OBJ
jected at this point to a technical
discussion Of the State Insurance Law
on the floor Of the Council. After
thanking the delegates for their
courtesy in giving them the permits
sion of the floor, both Mr.. Parsons and
Mr.. Holmes left the meeting.

Women Play Well.

A ND now about the women, who
are so copying the men that only
one Of the contestants yesterday was
sttired in the former regulation skirt
and blouse. The other seven romped
about in shorts.
Some one must have slipped up on
the seedlings In this tourney, for what
should by all logic have been the final
bringing together the two best players,
will be played today. II dope runs
true to form the title matches viii
prove an anti-climax.
Anyway, Clara Tabler, seeded No. !,
will meet Sarah Moore. probably the
second best player. For some unknown
reason Rebs Kirson, the only other
seeded player, dropped out Of the
tournament before she had played q
match and the officials failed to seed
either her successor or any Of the
other fair ones.
Yesterday, Sarah had an unex-
pected easy time when she disposed
Of Margot Lee, with the loss Of but
one game. Miss Lee, who only the
day before, had eliminated one Of the
favorites. Bobsy Tlrney, was far on
her game. This is taking no credit

Il let-down after as fierce a row.
ing duel as the river ever has seem
California's split-second triumph over
Cornell in the 4-mile varsity climax
of the thirty-seventh intercollegiate
Poughkeepsie regatta.
The scant crowd that braved driv-

was well dried out, but still it tingled,
from neither the cold nor the wet.
It Shivered again as it will shiver
many another time in memory of
those two great eights, battling down
the river on the breast of a rolling
tide, hammering across the finish line
in the purple murk Of the evening so
close that only the officials far cut in
the river, after many minutes of de-
bate, were able to give them their

As great as was the victory for Cali

disappointment and chagrin Of the
