Montana Supreme Court, he was an
outstanding champion of the rights Of
the people. His defeat in the last ell
ection was a severe blow to labor.
Albert Angstman, a former justice
OF the Montana Supreme Court and at
present an attorney for the only pro-
gressive Railroad and Public Service
Commission that Montana has ever
had, recently won a sweeping victory
in the United States District Court
on behalf Of the Commission, as we'll
as the people OF the state, the railroad
brotherhoods, and labor in general, in
opposition to the railroad interests of
Wall Street. Judge Angstman is con-
tinuing his brilliant work as a public
official by really standing by the peo-
pie Of Montana and remaining true TO
his trust.
In explanation Of the foregoing par
agraph, we allude to the case of the
Northern Pacific Railway Co. and the
Northern Pacific Transport Co. Plain
tiffs VS.. Board Of Railroad Commiss-
toner's of the State Of Montana ct al
Defendants. No. 1907. This case was
tried in U. S. Court Helena division,
before Garrecht, Circuit Judge, and
Cushman and Pray District Judges
All concurred in the decision.
The substance Of the case was, that
the Commission in power previous to
January 1, 1885, give this railroad con-
Germ the right to discontinue passen-
ger trains operating between Laurel
and Red Lodge much to the inconven-
fence of the public, besides placing
more railroad men on the boomer list
in all departments, as it would close
stations, lay off maintenance crews
besides trains, engines, etc.
On the other hand, that Commission
granted this railroad some shot gun
permits to run monster trucks and bus
SEES upon our Montana highways to
the exclusion of Montana citizens who
built said highways.
The railroads have, as we all know.
always enjoyed unlimited and illegal
privileges at the hands of the govern
mental authorities of the past. In
this case they proceeded on this assum-
ption by failing to post the bond as re-
quired by law to operate their buses
This is what the Commission OF the
New Deal objected to. The result was,
on a rehearing of these applications, the
shot gun permits were cancelled by the
Board and the railroad was ordered to
discontinue buss operation and restore
the trains as previous on the lines in
question.
The next move Of the N, P. was tc
seek a writ of injunction to enjoir
the Commission ct al. before the Fed
eral Court, where it was recently tried
and while the influence of Wall Street
was there to demand special privile-
ges with their high class and high sal.
aried attorneys, yet one real lawyer
we refer to Judge Angstman, prevail.
ed, with his unassailable logic and sup.
erior knowledge of the law; justice
also being on his side,
We congratulate Judge Angstman a.
well as the Jerry O'Connell and Ton
Carey for their actions in this case,

Three members of the Ladies Auxi-
liary Of the Miners were initiated at
the Trades and Labor Council as fra
ternal delegates. The unions are plea
sed to see them in the central labor
body and extend to them a very sin
cere welcome.
1t is proposed that some time in the
near future to hold a display Of union
made garments and other commodi-
ties. The Miners organization, thro-
ugh their delegates, have been urging
a more conscientious patronage Of I'M
ion-made material.
The union label committee must be
congratulated upon its activity in pre-
venting the sale Of non-union goods in
Silver Bow County. Whenever a re-
quest has been made of them through
unions engaged in the manufacturing
industries, especially in the east. Quite
a few requests have been made of the
union movement Of Silver Bow Coun-
ty to assist these eastern unions where
they had been attempting to organize
and where the employer refused to al
low them to do 50. These unions then
usually send out appeals Throughout
the country to stop the sale of the
goods manufactured by the employer
until he acquiesced in the right of these
workers to organize.
Butte has done its part in assisting
these unions. However many non-un-
ion goods are being sold in Silver Bow
County and the union people need tC
be reminded again and again to ac-
cept nothing unless it bears the unior
label. 1t is hoped that when the dis
play OF local union-made goods is pu
on in some vacant building by tht
union movement that it will stimulat,
the purchase OF these commodities ant
also make the union people more cias
conscious in the matter. 1t is a wei
known truism that if the working peo
pie purchased only union-made good
that they could, by this economic pow
er organize every working individual
in the United States. The unions will
rely greatly on the Ladies Auxiliary
to make the union label display sue.

Stanley White, representing the Ciga.
Makers Union addressed the delegate!
in support Of the purchase Of unior
made cigars. He also commented up.
on the apparent Indifference of tht
unions toward the purchase Of unior
goods. The delegates were presented
with free samples of Rialto Cigars by
Mr.. White. They are a product of The
Union Cigar Factory, Main and Galen;

]. WALLACE WINBORNE

"Take the campaign to every
Democrat in the State. 1t is the
individual vote that counts" Such
is the political text being preached
over the State by J. Wallace Win
borne, this year serving his third
term as chairman of the State
Democratic Executive Committee.
He has gained the reputation of be-
ing one of the most thorough Of
ganizers who ever served his party.
7. Wallace Wineborne was born
in Chowan county on July II,
1884. He graduated from the Uni
versity of North Carolina-where
he was a football and baseball stat
in 1906. After a year spent in
near Asheville, he went to
Marion and began the practice Of
law there in 1907.
"Wallace goes at the political
game as he used to play football"
recently said a classmate of the
Chairman. 'I've seen faster backs
but never one who drove any hard
err from che time the whistle blew
until the game was over. .. Judging
from the results he has obtained,
his system gets the results in votes
