Mr.. McGrath was chosen for his out
spoken friendship to the labor or
CARNATIONS.
In placing Rudolph Klune on the
endorsed list for Justice of the Peace
of the South Butte township, the
unions have again picked one in
whom they have absolute conf
dence. His record in this office since
he has been judge has been very
fair to organized labor.
The Legislative nominees who
were endorsed were Sam Spiegel
and Garfield Harris. Spiegel served
in the last session and is running
on the democratic ticket and Gar
field Harris, a member of the Elec-
tricians union, is running on the re-
publican ticket.
Quite a discussion took place also
concerning the proposed 8-hour
constitutional amendment. This mea-
sure is known as House Bill No. IA.
In voting on it, the electors will be
given a separate ballot. Do not care
less1y throw these ballots aside,
Vote for House Bill No. IA. Also vote
for the State Insurance Measure,
and Judge Angstman. Too much
emphasis can not be placed upon
these separate ballots which will be
given to the voters. These three are
very important to the labor unions.

Subject 10 Jail
Sentence on Murder
Charge

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22-(Spe-
cial)-As a result of the frameup
of members of the Marine Fire
mems Union on murder charges, the
Central Labor Council voted unani-
mously tonight to ask a Senate in
vestigation of employers speis in
San Francisco Bay area unions.
The appeal for the investigation
was %telegraphed to Senator Robert
LaFollette, chairman of the special
Senate Committee set up for that
purpose.
A Defense Committee to defend
Earl King, E. G. Ramsay, and
Frank J. Conner against the muir
der charges was set up September
9th by delegates and observers from
20 bay district unions and the Ala
media County Central Labor Coun-
ell.
King is head of the Marine Fire
men, Ramsay a former patrolman
who recently organized the Fish Re-
duction Workers Union, Local
20249, and Conner was a fireman
aboard the Point Lobos, on which
George Alberts, chief engineer, was
stabbed to death March %.
All three, with still another mem

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS MADE BY
CENTRAL LABOR BODY LAST THURSDAY

Elizabeth Mcdonald, acting as sec-
rotary of the legislative committee
continued the report of that body
last Tuesday and recommended to
the delegates the name of Dan D.
Sullivan for office of County Com
missioner of Silver Bow County. MI.
Sullivan was endorsed unanimous
ly. His record is one of outstanding
fidelity to the working people. He
has long been associated with the
labor unions and their aspirations.
They are fortunate in having a man
of his calibre and it is hoped that
the working people will put him
into the office of County Commits
sioner at the general election.
Other nominees endorsed include
John Malta for the office of Coun-
ty Assessor. Without trying to draw
any invidious comparisons it can be
truthfully said that John Malta is
one of the best County Assessors
Silver Bow County has had in a
generation. He is honest, upright,
and courageous in his decisions in
respect to making property valua-
tons. Principally through his office
it has been possible for Silver Bow
to assume its place as a second class
county. Assessments against the
properties of the corporations gen.
orally has been increased and much
other property, wherein a very
slight tax had been levied hereto
fore, have been increased, such as
calculating machines used in large
offices and other forms of property.
The labor unions can endorse John
Malta without any misgivings and
be assured that he will not betray
the trust confided in him.
For the office of County Clerk
and Recorder the Silver Bow
Trades and Labor Council chose
Adds McGrath as their candidate.
Montana labor news., 1936-10-22

During the session of the legisla-
ture of 1881 an effort was made to
secure the passage of an eight-hour
law for bus drivers. While the bill
was in the committee of the senate
an effort was made to amend the
bill to read for a twelve hour day in
stead of eight hours. The advocates
of the twelve hour day killed the g.
hour day bill.
In the special session of the leg
islature in l933-34 a bill providing
for the eight hour work day for
truck drivers was introduced in the
House. The speaker referred the
bill to the committee on highways,
the chairman of the committee being
Mr.. Breitenstein, a strenerous and
incorporating opponent of all la
Dor legislation. Mr. ~reitenstein is
now secretary of the Great Falls
Chamber of Commerce. The COM
mittee amended the bill to twelve
hours a day instead of eight hours.
By motion the bill was taken from
the highway committee and sent to
the committee on labor and capital.
The House passed the bill for the
eight-hour day for truck drivers and
it then went to the senate. While
the bill vas in the committee of the
senate truck owners from all over
the state appeared before the COM
mittee urging that the bill be amend
ed to a twelve hour day measure
AS the sentiment was strong in the
senate for a twelve hour day for
truck drivers we asked our friends
in the senate to kill our bill rather
than disgrace the state by the pass
age of a twelve hour day law.
In 1925 a bill appeared in the SEN
ate for a ten hour day for women
employed in canneries and seed
houses. This bill was sponsored by
some gallant gentlemen in Bozeman,
employers of women, who think that
eight hours a day is not enough for
women and girls to work.
To prevent reactionary Legislators
from enacting laws to provide for
long hours of labor, hours longer
than the eight hour day and to keer
what eight hour laws that now exist
from being declared unconstitution-
al by the courts the amendment pro-
viding for the shorter work day is
now before the people for ratifica-
ton.

Montana labor news., 1936-10-22

Five years ago it became apparent
to the members of organized labor
that section four of article eighteen
70 the state constitution relating to
the hours of labor must be amended
as certain eight hour laws now on
the statute are in danger of being
declared unconstitutional by the
courts.
The constitution of Montana pro-
vides only for an eight hour day on
public works for the state, counties,
cities, shelters, mills for the redue-
ton of ores, and under ground mines.
No other occupations r covered
by the constitution as will be seen
by reading that part of the constitu-
ton relating to the hours of labor,
which appears in another part OF
paper along with the proposed am
endment.
When the eight hour law for strip,
or open mining was enacted by the
legislature, the lawyer for the strip
mining groups claimed that the law
could be declared unconstitutional
by the courts on the grounds that
the constitution provided for the g.
hour law in under ground mines only
other lawyers have made similar
statements.
Last year Judge H~attersley of Con-
rad presiding in the District court in
Great Falls, declared the Retail
Clerks Eight-hour law u%nconstitu-
tional. Recently violations of the re-
tail clerks eight-hour law were tried
in Billings and Judge Goddard OF
that city declared the law unconsti-
tutional. However the Supreme
Court has not yet passed upon the
constitutionality of the clerks eight
hour law.
F~irefighters Eight-Hour Day
The City Fire Fighters eight-hour
law passed by the last session of the
legislature has been declared uncon-
stitutional by the Supreme Court on
a very flimsy t%echnicality, although
the law provided for emergencies in
case of fire.

of hours of labor in Ireland, Eng

on employers and employees, but its
effect upon the general public well
fare.
MI. O'Donnell is an independent
local attorney, and is an associate
of Mr.. John K. Claxton, democratic
candidate for County Attorney.
He states that the address will
be made to stimulate interest in the
referendum on the Eight-Hour
Amendment at the General Election
to be held November 3rd.
The proposed amendment is the
most vital public question that has
been before the people for many
years. 1t will be a public service for
each voter to consider the question
himself and discuss it with his neigh
bors. But, above all, voters should
not overlook the separate referen-
dunn ballot on election day, but
should cast their votes on this vital
issue according to their best judg-
ment.

There was also a moderate domestic
