Maryland Hotel On
The Unfair List

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council, last Tuesday evening, CON
Cured in a request OF the Womens
Protective Union and placed the Mary
land Hotel at % w, Quartz Street,
Butte, on the unfair list. Some Of the
reasons assigned for this action by the
Women's Protective Organization is
that Mrs, Tom Mcbride, the proprie-
tress, has chiseled in relation to paying
the scale OF wages required by the un-
ions and that she has also violated the
rules in regard to hours OF labor. State
ments were made that in regard to VIC
lations of working hours, that the state
law governing 8 hours should apply
here also.
The unions have been very Intent
and considerable in trying to induce the
Maryland Hotel to be fair, but with
out success. All members Of organized
labor and their friends are urged to
cease p~atronizing this establishment

Thrills-speed-spills are in order on
the oval of Death" where the nation
ally-famous dare-devils and Interna-
tional champions present a super en-
tertainment on Americas Newest and
Largest Midway'-the United Shows
of America appearing here at the show
grounds on Harrison Avenue.
To the roar of racing motorcycles
and automobiles, Rudy Coombs, champ
ion racing driver Of the British Isles
and his d~are-devils race round a
straight wall, sometimes exceeding
eighty miles an hour. 1t is the wal
of Death" where these speedsters take
their lives in their own hands at every
turn Of the wheel. Rudy is one of the
few racing drivers who holds champ
ionships in England and United States.
Not longer than two years ago he set
an endurance speed record in the Bril-
fish Isles that will probably stand for
years to come. Then there is the Miss
Mazelle, "the Mica Minute" girl
whose feats upon the perpendicular
wall will cause the most hard-hearted
to gaze in amazement. 1t is truly a
thrilling and sensational entertainment
and is one of the truly great feature
attractions that will grace the mile
long pleasure zone of the United Show:
of America.
The most spectacular feature of this
thrilling performance is the race be-
tween Rudy and his three-wheel, front
drive English automobile and two other
racers mounted on fast motorcycles
who speed around the track with reck-
less abandon, all giving their utmost
to the finishing line first. At the
conclusion OF the entertainment these
reckless dare-devils climb upon their
machines and present an exhibition OF
trick and fancy riding hat will cause
your hair to stand in establishment.

the firemen voluntarily took a re-

matter was brought up in the Fire

the City Council forced a 20 per cent

apparently 5 per cent for not accepting

The firemen are now asking for a

Organized labor has consolidated its
forces in an effort to control the viola

by Mrs. Grefig as proprietress OF the
McCarroll Beauty Shop.
This house is unfair to the BARRIERS
Union. to the Silver Bow Trades and
Labor Council, and to the Butte Build
ing Trades Council. In other words,
it is unfair to all organized labor in
Silver Bow County. The building is
also unfair. No more work will be done

VERSES in Remington-Ran plants in
these three States hundreds Of whose
employees have been on strike for a
number of weeks.
Adopting the anti-union principle so
frequently characterizing the type of
industrial executives aptly described as
economic royalists," Mr.. Rand has re-
peatedly refused to have any dealings
either with representatives Of the strik-
ers or the machinists unions which call
ed out the men.
Violence evidently instigated by per-
sons not connected with the strikers
has occurred at the Norwood, Ohio, and
Middletown, Conn, branch plants of
the c. Germ. AT Middletown, Gov.
Gross assigned plain-clothes State
policemen to guard the plant. The
presence of the guards resulted in SER
ious disturbances which resulted in
three men being arrested IN charges
Of breach of the peace.
Judges in the jurisdictions where the
strike is in progress have issued dras-
tic injunctions restraining the activities
of the pickets, but with the knowledge
that their cause is just the union mem
bers backing the strike have persisted
in their demands with a firmness that
stimulated violence, armed guards and
judicial edicts have not been able to
weaken.
Justice E. L. Robertson sided with
officials of the Remington-Rand Com
pany in their desperate efforts to break
the strike of its employees by grating
the company's request for a temporary
injunction prohibiting the unions from
picketing unless restricted to four per-
sons each wearing badges.
In addition, the injunction also pro
hibited crowds from congreating near
the company's plant and followed the
usual p%hraseology Of restraining union
members and officers from using vio-
lence, coercion or intimidation by force
Of numbers or otherwise on persons
seeking to break the strike by accept
ing jobs in the plant, and banned pick
citing of the homes of workers who
are so disloyal to the general interest
Of labor as to accept employment by

HEAD
CONDEMNS PATENT
MEDICINE ADVICE

Especial Vigorously criticising the
manufacturers of bromide medicines
and cure-alls," Dr.. G. A. Matson Of the
university biology department said
Tuesday that millions of dollars spent
annually on such medicines are wasted
on inferior and sometimes dangerous
products. Dir. Matson spoke before
the summer term weekly c%onyocation.
While medical science has contrib
uted a great deal to mankind, he said,
much remains to be done. He critics.
ed individuals who know little about
medical science and who are yet will
ing to prescribe for themselves and
their friends.
In Illinois in a recent year." DR..
Matson pointed out, thirty million dol
lars was spent ON such patent medi-
cines. During the same year only half
a million dollars was expended for the
state health offices"
The university professor said that
curealls are valueless because of their
lack Of beneficence," the exorbitant
prices charged for them, and their mis-
leading advertising. In many cases in
ferior drugs are used and in others,
particularly in many medicines guar
anteed to reduce weight, drugs used
are dangerous.
DR.. Matson said that frequently we
buy trade Names" since the ingredients
Of the medicines often are changed.
He pointed out that most patent
medicines are not patented because
they are not new, because they would
lose the mystery and secrecy which
surrounds them if the public were able
to secure accurate information by way
Of the patents and because patents ex-
pire after II years.
After reviewing the pure food and
drug act of 1906, which he said was a
step in the direction of cutting down
the number Of patent medicines, DR..
Matson said that further legislation
along this line was desirable.
We not only need more legislation
along the lines advocated by Dr.. Mat
son, but the working people have long
since learned that legislation is need
ed to curb the rapacity Of the doctors.
Efforts are needed to establish a closer
relationship between various groups
and the doctors through cooperatives
When all is said and done the doc
tor c%ondemning the patent medicine
makers is just another form of jea-
lousy. Many a poor devil has learned
through sad and costly experience that
the erudite doctors at the U and the
Pompous practitioner with his exori-
bant fees are just as impotent as the
bottle bought at the drug store.
