Montana Has Woman
Aspiring To Congress

The attainment OF civil and political
rights has been a long and arduous
struggle for the common people. One OF
the most important OF these privileges
that have been wrung from the castles
in power is that Of universal suffrage.
First there was %despotism, where one
ruled, then an aristocracy, where a few
ruled. This was broadened to allow
everyone to participate who had pro-
perty. Finally all male citizens were al
lowed to take part in their government
in the most advanced countries.
In all of this picture, ONE were
excluded, but nevertheless through it
and underneath it all, was the urge of
the women to share the responsibilities
Of hat Government with man. When
we adopted universal suffrage, we
strobe forward immensely; we elevated
both sexes. 1t is moi strange for
Queens to rule, it should not be strange
that a woman should be president, Sc
nator or Congresswoman. Arizona and
California are both represented in the
Montana labor news., 1936-07-16

national legislature by women. In this
primary campaign in Montana there
IS a woman seeking the nomination for
Congress in the First District. She IS
Mrs. Lucy McLemore Of Helena.
We usually associate women with
the home or with churches or with
the finer aspects of life. We need her
in these vocations. We need her in
the Government also. Some OF the
grandest reigns OF all times have been
under the inspired influence Of women.
Too few women are given the opportu-
nifty to temper and to influence the
conduct and the administration OF the
affairs of the Nation. It is a heartening
sign to see women who know what IS
right, clean, and wholesome aspiring
for the higher positions in the land.
Mrs. McLemore attended the uni
versity of Missouri, she was reared
in a legal environment, is a student OF
Government and realizes the crying
need to affect a balance between pro-
duction and distribution so that every
person shall have adequate and album
dant material and cultural opportuni-
ty.

mands OF the unions to have represent
ed all WPA and government agencies.
The Missoula unions in resolution No.
IL complained in the reduction Of wages
OF employees OF the physical plant Of
the State University. The Federation
OF Labor IS going to investigate this
proposition. Resolution No. 80 related
to the Pierce Packing company Of Bill
ings which had been declared unfair.
A committee was appointed later on
to visit this company. It is now in
the hands of the Billings and Butte
Butchers unions. Some time ago the
state authorities had issued an order
prohibiting the state offices from hav-
ing the reports printed. The Typo
graphical unions complained of this.
The Typographical unions also COM
planned Of politicians buying cards
without the union label. The conven-
ton was instructed to draft legisla-
ton to compel reports Of state Off
cials TO be printed. The Typographical
delegates thanked the convention. An
other resolution contained the prac-
tice Of the wool growers association
using non-union sheep shearers in
shearing sheep. The Federation of
Labor is going to join up with the
sheep shearers union to correct this
abuse if possible. Hamilton, who was
quite active in submitting resolutions
desired to have a state fund established
to take care Of the people who had
been injured in industry. This was
adopted. The delegates did not take
kind Ito the opposition to approve
a third party and they condemned a
third party formation. Resolution No.
80 limiting the size and capacity Of
trucks was adopted and also another
one relating to amending the Compen-
sation law. This was adopted. The
convention favored cooperative stores
by a resolution No. 80. The delegates
also pledged their support to Presi-
dent Roosevelt in a couple of r%esolu-
tions. At the conclusion of Riddell's
report, he was given a vote OF thanks.
The Teachers union thanked the con-
v%ention for the support given the
Teachers resolutions.

Local chairmen are being appointed
by the hundreds. Each local chair
man is urged to appoint a large COM
mittee, divided into sub-committees for
various purposes, in order that the
work may be pushed rapidly and in a
well organized manner
Local chairmen are urged to imme-
diately make contact with the local
Democratic chairman, in order to har-
monte the effort. In most cases it
is expected that labor will sell its tick
cts and that labor men will attend the
general mass rally of the community
arranged under direction Of the local
Democratic chairman. There is, how
ever, nothing to prevent separate labor
rallies. Labor tickets will be good in
any rally anywhere in the United
States.
Tickets are in two sections. One
section admits the bearer to any rally
anywhere the other section is retained
by the purchaser as a certificate show
ing that he is an original Roosevelt
%nominator. Thus each ticket carries
its own record Of the event in the form
Of a certificate Of honor which may be
preserved, framed if the owner desires
to distinguish it in that manner, as
thousands will.
Chairman Harrison feels that labor
will send its full half million into the
mass meetings June II and that coop
Grafton everywhere will simplify the
task Of rolling up that army through
the sale Of a half million tickets.
Labor men everywhere are urged by
Chairman Harrison to write him at his
Washington office Immediately.
