Miners Celebration
Is Very Successful

June is, the tltty-eighth anniversary
OF the founding Of Butte Miners
Union No. l, witnessed what observer.
believe to be the greatest turnout Of
organized labor in the entire history Of
Silver Bow county.
The day started with a parade in
which almost every labor organization
in Butte took part. Many fraternal
orders were also represented with
bands and drill teams. The Anaconda
and Basin locals OF the l. U. Of M. M.
& S. w. had delegates in the parade.
Estimates on the number of people
marching varied, the average guess be-
ing seven or eight thousand The min
ers alone, marching four abreast,
formed a line two miles long. The
Ladies Auxiliary Drill Team of the
Miners union had new uniforms and
had there been a prize for the best
looking Auxiliary, these ladies would
have doubtless won first prize.
After the parade a program OF
sports events and speaking was put
on at Columbia Gardens. A total OF
$4,000 was awarded in prizes. The
main feature on this program wa a
tug-of-war between the Butte miners
and the Anaconda smeltermen. The
Anaconda smeltermen defeated the
miners in a similar contest held at
Anaconda last year and the miners
vowed revenge. 1t was hot contest
and the miners got their revenge with
as great an exhibition Of human lever
age.
Some disappointment was expressed
over the failure OF the simplifying sys-
TEN at the Gardens not functioning
properly.
The miners had gone to considerable
expense to bring MI. R. H. Catching,
an official Of the Socialist Trades and
Labor Alliance here from Portland,
Oregon, to deliver the main address,
but unfortunately the people were not
able to hear him, except those who
were gathered closely around the band
stand. It must be admitted that he did
make a grand talk, pointing out the
need Of industrial organization in this
country. By the way, the organization
which he represents has for its very
function the principles of industrial
unionism. Mr.. Catching deplored the
weakness which the trade union struc-
ture has showed in all serious conflicts
between the workers and the capital
lists and in its impotency to achieve any
fundamental change in the economic
and social structure Of the nation.
Under the philosophy Of the speaker,
it is necessary that the working people
be told how to control industry
through the formation OF industrial
unions in referring to this argument
and to revolutions, he remarked But
social u%pheaveals do not alway mean
progress. While the crisis that will
give the masses the necessary impulse
is inevitable it is not so certain that
the masses will be prepared to assume
power. If they fail it means reaction,
bloodshed and the ugly letters Of in
dustrial feudalism." Hence he feels
that it is very important that the peo-
pie now be taught, through unions, not
the trade unions, to III control OF
government when the crisis arrives.
The dance in the evening wa a huge
success. Many people in the afternoon
on the grounds were heard to express
their pleasure at being able to again
associate themselves with the miners
in their nationally known picnic, June
IS. Il was an ideal day, warm and
mild.

Child Labor Condemned
By Presbyterian Board

NEW YORK, N. Y.-(AFLNS)-
Emphatic condemnation of the unem-
ployment of children was contained in
a statement on social and industrial
relations included in the declaration of
principles adopted by the Board of Ma
tional Missions of the Presbyterian
church of the United States of Amer
lea after a two-day meeting here.
1.-THE use of children as wealth pro-
ducers," the statement said, Should be
condemned for folly and injustice, and
in the future the demand Of industry
should not be allowed to prevent any
child from securing the full opportuni-
ties of education as a human being and
as a citizen"

RADIO ADDRESS ON
OUR CELEBRATION
INDEPENDENCE DAY

&AAAENAo VI 0aAAN anu lit eQA OullQ-
ing sections covered by the Voice of
Montana"
Friends If my appeal to everyone
listening in this evening was as enjoy
able and as complete as the Fourth Of
July celebration we will have in Butte
this year, it would ire hours to tell
you all about it. ~ ter, in the short
time allotted me s le air this we
ming | will endei :. to emphasize a
few OF the feature . q which we hope
to make the 1913 dependence Day
celebration the g st and most en-
joyable good til ] YER held in our
grand state of Z ana.
For the past years the metrop-
oils OF Montana had no Fourth Of
uly celebratio thousands Of our
little children h lad no opportunity
to be taken to til of July celebra-
tons in other cllius. Just think back,
my adult listeners and reflect a mo-
ment on what the Fourth Of July
meant to you when you were a young
ster. This year u kiddies will have
a glorious time-somehting to think
back TO in the years to come.
Butte has a national reputation as a
city that is generous and h~ospitable to
visitors. We intend, this year, to have
our visitors return to their homes say
ing, "She is the same old, big-hearted
Butte"
We hope and expect to have at least
10000 visitors here on July Fourth,
We have a city that can take care Of
visitors. Plenty OF good cafes, hotels
and entertainment places. The Butte
merchants are not profiteers and we
can assure everyone that there will be
no boost in prices whether it be meals,
rooms or goods. We want every visi-
tor TO leave for his or her home with a
good word for Butte hospitality.
Now for the practical angle on my
short talk. The large general COM
mittee for the Fourth of July celebra-
ton and Mayor Hauswirth have placed
me in charge of the sinews of war
which makes this gigantic celebration
possible. In other words, l am the
treasurer and chief solicitor in our
movement.
Butte has never yet fallen down on
any worthwhile project. Butte people
are not cheap. They either do a thing
right or they do not attempt the ef-
fort. AS l said before, we are hoping
and we firmly believe that we will have
the biggest and most glorious Fourth
of July celebration in Butte this year

CLEVELAND ROOKIE HURLS TEAM
TO VICTORY; FANS IS BATTERS
BY LESLIE AVERY

NEW YORK, Aug. a. WD - A
gangling high school boy from Iowa
shot across basebalrs armament to-
day with dramatic, masterful
performance that fell just short of
an American League record. ra
Seventeen years old, pitching his
first major league game, unknown
and unheralded, Bob Feller took
the mound for the Cleveland In
dians at Cleveland yesterday and
slanted them across until the st.
Louis Browns were dizzy. He ac-
complished Is of the q outs with
strikeouts, one short of Rube Wad-
dell's American League record that
is so good it has stood since 1908,
and two short of Dizzy Deans
National League record, set in
1884.
In New York, the New York
Giants were demonstrating what
is needed to make them the No.
candidate for the National League
pennant. The need is a sound pair
of knees attached to the limbs of
37-year- old Manager Bill Terry.
But that would require an oper-
alton, which at this stage of the
season is impossible. New Workers.
only hope is that Bills creaking
stems will ease up sufficiently for
him to make an occasional appear
ance in the lineup.
How badly Terry is needed was
clearly demonstrated yesterday
when he played the second game
against the Boston Bees after good
natured Sambo Leslie had played
like a sand-lotter in the first game
The Giants won both games, 3Ft0
2, and 6 to but it was no fault OF
Leslie's.
The Giants gained a half game
as result of the leading Cardinals
victory and tie against the Pitts
burgh Pirates The Cards came
from behind to score five runs. in
the eighth to win the opener, Z to
3. A Pittsburgh lead again was ov-
ercome in the second when st.
Louis scored one run IN each the
7th, 9th and 9th tie the count at
Gall, but darkness overlook the
struggle and it will be played off
today
Philadelphia divided a twin bill
with the Brooklyn Dodgers, losing
the first, e to S, and winning the
nightcap, TO g.
In the other American League
games the leading New York
Yankees had half game shaved
from their lead, leaving margin
of only" liz games. The Yanks
beat the Boston Red Sox, to 3,
then took to trimming, while
Cleveland was winning behind
Feller's hurting.
The Washington Senators copped
both ends of a twin bill from the
Philadelphia Athletics, to 3, and
8 to 6, while the Detroit Tigers
went down before the Chicago
White Sox, to 2. %s

tive. Any of the we'll known Am
erican fags cost six registered
marks per package which is exact
ly S150. Anytime you see per-
son smoking one over here, you
know he is either smuggler or a
millionaire.
German cigarettes have other
faults beside that one. They taste
just like the exhaust fumes of a
Roman candle smells. They are
always rolled too tightly or too lose
ly. There never is happy med
ium. They always are as hard as
puncil or as soft as a dunked
roll.
AS if to make everything perfect
ly miserable for the smoker, the
manufacturers of German cigar
cite holders apparently got togeth-
er and decided to make their i'm
plements of an offsize that wouldn't
fit any cigarette. I've bought 10 to
date and the only thing that even
resembles a cigarette which fits
them is the tip of my little finger.
And I'll be darned If I'm going to
smoke that-even if have to go
back to chewing!

TODAY'S-
Sports Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE

BERLIN, Aug. "a. W.R)-The next
time the Nazis feel a pogrom COM
ing on, wish they'd consider sug-
gestion that they direct it against
the hay and grain dealers who
manufacture German cigars and
cigarettes.
They will find the entire world
or at least that portion of it which
has smoked German products, in
complete sympathy with them.
Not one word of protest will be
raised if they drive them two feet
over their heads into the Baltic
Sea-or inflict ain even more cruel
torture by forcing them to smoke
their own products.
l would make this suggestion to
the Nazis in person and not in writ
ing, only my tongue is so blistered
and burned that it is curled up like
an anchovy at siesta time and ab-
solutely refuses to do its share in
the formation of voWelS and con-
Sonants.
Of the twO-German cigars or
cigarettes-I think cigars are the
more dreadful. For cigarettes, if
smoked sparingly, and under
water, offer a substitute for to-
bacco no worse than the corn
silks, rabbit tobacco, pine needles
and blotting paper you smoked as
child. But the cigars-there
Is nothing to be said about them.
To start with their shape is fright
ening. It's a dead steal of Count
zeppelin'S early (and fortunately
for Atlantic passengers dis
carded models. The shape of them
still resembles that of the great
zeppelin so closely, however, that
after five puffs a smoker would not
be at all surprised to see Mr.. Hugo
Eckener jump out, navigation
charts in hand.
Their taste is so frightful that it
puts the famed motorman's glove
into the crepe Suzette class. One
of the first things a smoke of Ger
man cigars learns is not to remove
the band.
That's the best part of the cigar.
You can spot veteran smoker by
the look of delight that comes into
his eyes when he reaches the band
and takes the first fragrant puff
of ink, glue and paper. Pipe smok-
ers, who also have trouble getting
tobacco, often buy box of cigars
just for the bands. They shred
them up and then settle down with
a good book, two of three sheep
dogs and a relaxing log fire.
German cigars moult and shed
like a Rhode Island Red hen,
only the Rhode Island Red hen
observes the seasons and Ger
man cigars don't. They shed,
mcuit, and ravel all the time.
After 10 puffs, you have some
thing on your hand that resem-
bIes palmetto leaf fan. i solved
the problem by using rubber
bands until the authorities ord
cred me to take out vulcan
izing permit.
The only reason that an American
smokes German cigarettes in Ger
many Is that his own brand costs
SO much as to make them prohibi-

48,4OO Farmers in
State Considering
Payment Practices


Soil-benefiting practises which
make California growers eligible for
AAA payments under the 1886 agri-
cultural conservation program are
being applied by many of the a.
438 farmers who have filed work
sheets. according to w. B. Parker.
secretary of the State Agricultural
Conservation committee.
"Terracing, gully control, and
perennial weed control are among
the practices which make farmers
eligible for payments" said Parker.
Farmers who have filed work
sheets and who are in doubt as to
details of the authorized practices
can get full information from their
community or county committee
men, or from the office of their
county firm advisor -
Parker stated that the special
surveys now being made by spe-
cialists concerning the applicability
of various conservation practices to
orchards, vineyards, and to sugar
beet. rice, and irrigated truck and
field farms are producing much
valuable data.
These surveys are developing
many interesting suggestions from
farmers" said Parker. Growers
realize that the 1896 propram, based
necessarily upon emergency condi-
tions. is supplying experience upon
which to establish a 1887 conserva-
ton program still more closely fitt-
ed TO the special needs of California
agriculture.
The farmers who have filed work
sheets represent 6,20l,l37 acres of
