BUDGET DANCE
TO BE HELD BY
LEATHER WORKERS

One Of the most active and aggressive
union organizations in Silver Bow
County has taken upon themselves the
task of holding a dance in order to re-
plenish a treasury that has suffered
drains through repeted trips to Helena
and other expenses occassioned by her
culean efforts to preserve the tannery
manufacturing plant in Silver Bow
County. The people OF Silver Bow
County owe this union a debt of graft
tude and the response in the sale of
tickets should go to indicate that the
victory Of this union in retaining the
%tannery is appreciated.
1t may not be amiss to state that the
employees of the tanning factory work
under the federal budget system, and
consequently the event which or
dinarily blows into the treasury of the
organization is extremely limited. The
$4,000 to $4,000 a month which this
industry distributed among the business
people when the plant wa running al
capacity meant considerable new wealth
to the community. Of course at the
present time the industry is operating
on a restricted basis.
The committee in charge of the dance
which will be held at the American Leg
ion Hall, Saturday evening, February
Is, are L. l.. Davis, Pete Cunningham
Lloyd Bertrand, Louis Buettner, Her
bert Curtis, and Ralph Ortez.
Instead of the usual ticket arrange
ment permitting a lady, when accom-
panied by a gentleman, to enter free
the plan under which this dance will
be operated prescribes a two-bit charge
for each person whether male or fem
ale.

at the Fox Theatre Monday evening
January 81 wa a sell out. The house
was packed from cellar to garnet, and
there wasn't a disappointed fan in the
house accept perhaps those who had
supported their judgment with money
on Massey.
The experts at the ring gave Dem
mis- nine rounds, while one, the seventh
was considered even. 1t is safe to say
that nearly all the fans, at least those
who claim som knowledge Of the
thing, expected the first round to be
a sort Of a feel-out, but such was not
the case. Dennis opened up in the
first round keeping his left repeatedly
Ticking in the face of his opponent,
and interspersed this with IN overland
right cross which was maintained thro-
ughout the whole encounter. To sum
It up in a few words, Dennis was too
fast for Massey.
Hooking lived up to his reputation by
putting away his opponent, the reputed
champion OF Japan, in the fourth round
The ease with which Hooking dispat-
ches his adversaries makes one remem-
der the stories OF Bob Fitz Simmons
and other ring celebrities who fought

power in their arms and shoulders OF

NEW YORK, October 30. - New
York, the Empire State, with AZ cleo
toral votes, can break or make Lam
don, the Republican presidential can
didate.
Gov. Landon made his final bid for
support in the State yesterday, cli-
NAKED by an address in Madison
Square Garden. He received a ire
mendous ovation from the huge crowd
which damned the garden. He left
behind him a challenge to President
Roosevelt to tell the American people
what he intends to do about the
N. r. A., the A. A. A. and about his
spending program. The President is
due to speak in the same spot on
Saturday night.
Democratic claims of victory in this
State range so high as to be almost
fantastic. They are based on one
thing-the vast increase in registra-
ton in Greater New York. territory
that is traditionally Democratic. The
increased registration Is approximately
$4,000. with a total registration for
the city Of 100000.
Prior to the announcement of the
registration figures. Republican hopes
were high and the Democrats obvious
ly nervous. Almost any one can re-

Democratic leaders from all over the
country were pleading with Gov. Leh-
man to seek reelection again-for
the purpose Of bolstering Roosevelt in
New York State.
Now All Is Optimism.
But now the Democratic high COM
mand. from Jim" Farley down, is
claiming that Roosevelt will carry the
city by 100000 votes and the State
as q whole by TOO 900 to 800. 600.
Roosevelt may carry the State indeed.
the preponderance Of opinion Is that
he will do so-but the margin prob
ably will be far smaller. perhaps only
couple of hundred thousand votes.
The Republicans insist that Landon
has a real chance to carry the State
and mention $50 900 as their prob
able plurality. They would be de-
lighted If 1t turned out they had won
by 10000. or any figure at all.
Four years ago Herbert Hoover lost
New York State to President Roosevelt
by soc, 996. The Democratic majority
in New York City was 1,l20. The
Republicans carried 'up-State"-all
outside Of the greater city-by 274,124.
There are two or three factors in the
present situation which should be
taken into consideration. Upstate New
York has turned back to the Repub-
lican party with q rush. There Is
some reason to believe that the Re-
publican lead upstate may run as high
as 100000 or even 10000. That Is
the kind of a lead Republicans used
to have in upstate New York in 1920,
1924 and 1928.

Pacific Coast shipping was para
lyzed today by the strike of $1,000
water front and seafaring workers
members of seven federated unions.
Possibility arose the strike would
spread to Eastern and Gulf ports
tying up virtually all American ship
ping.
Randolph Meriwether, Western Sec
rotary of the Marine Engineers Bene-
fetal Association, predicted:
1T will be a national strike. We
have received hundreds of kilograms
from ports all over America pledgins
support"
President Joseph Ryan of the In
ternational Longshoremans Associa-
ton, who had said the association
must support the West Coast de-
mands, hurried to his New York Office
to study the situation.
In New York port-wide "sitdown"
strike in sympathy with Pacific Coast
workers failed to materialize at noon,
as announced early this morning, but
the Seamen's Defense Committee said
Q meeting Of union ship labor would
be held tonight to vote on a general
strike for the Eastern Seaboard.
The newly created maritime COM
mission, which has jurisdiction over
shipping companies and seagoing
unions, pored over reports but had no
comment. Chief hope for a quick
settlement lay in the commission.
About 100 ships Immediately were
tied up in Pacific ports. The number
vii, be increased greatly with the re-
turn Of ships at sea.
Hiring Control Is Issue.
The strike was called when unions
and steamship companies were unable
to agree on half a dozen major points
in proposed new labor contracts. Pri-
mary stumbling block was the desire
of each group to control hiring of
union men.
Effects Of the strike spread i'm
mediately. Four Grays Harbor,
Wash, lumber mills announced they
would shut down today. San Fran
cisco warehousemen called an 8 am.
(Pacific standard time) strike, Grip
ping ice. cold storage, feed and mill
ing plants.
The strike came at about the peak
OF Western shipping, unofficially es-
timated at a $1,000, 000-a-day bust
ness.
Extra police were assigned water
front duty at all Western ports-400
each In Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco.
