PARTISAN GUARDS
ALERT FOR CLASH
10000 Added to Regulars to
QueII Disorders on Armi-
stice Day.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, November 11.-Strong forces
of mobile guards lined the Champs
Elysees today to prevent a repetition
Of last years Armistice day brawls
between French Leftists and Rightists.
The government of Premier Leon
Blum adopted strong measures to curb
suspected political demonstrations,
moving 10000 guards into the capital
to reinforce regular police.
The public order squads moved into
position as thousands Of Paris resi-
dents converged on the wide avenue
near the Tomb of the Unknown Sol
dier, where Frances observance of the
18th armistice anniversary centered.
Leftist leaders urged their followers
to attend the ceremonies to prevent
the Rightist adherents from giving
false impression" of greater strength.
The supporters Of the Popular Front
government were instructed to be Or
derly. but on guard against possible
street attacks from their political op-
ponents.
Col. Francois de la ROGUE sent out
a mass order to his Social party men,
bers to participate in the parade OF
veterans, which was to be followed by
q military review before President
Albert Lebrun and Premier Blum.
(The French armistice exercises last
year eliminated in a series of street
brawls as a column of $4,000 veterans
marched to the Unknown Soldiers
Tomb under the Arch Of Triumph.)

MUNICIPAL MILK
PLANT T0BEASKED
Consumers Council Head
Says Price Probe by Con-
ureSS to Be Pressed.

Asserting the recent 1-cent increase
in the price of milk to Washington
consumers is unnecessary. Mrs. John
Boyle, jr, chairman Of the Consum-
ers' Council of the District, last night
reaffirmed her determination to seek
Q congressional investigation.
Mrs. Boyle told the Cathedral
Heights Cleveland Park Citizens As
sociation that Chairman King Of the
Senate District Committee had given
assurance he would cooperate for
such an investigation.
The Consumers Council chairman
said the investigation would review
the hearings which preceded adoption
OF the milk marketing agreement. as
we'll as the hearings on the price
increase. The milk marketing agree
ment was held unconstitutional in
District Court and an appeal on the
ruling is now pending.
Mrs. Boyle added she will seek to
have introduced at this session a bill
to provide for a municipality owned
milk pasteurizing and bottling plant.
She said Representative Ellenbogen,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania introduced
such measure few years ago.
THE price of milk to the consumer
might be as low as 8 cents a quart If
such a plant were in operation here, !"
she said.
A resolution urging the minimum
age requirement for automobile drivers
in Washington be raised from Is to
IS years was adopted by the associa-
ton. The support OF the Federation
Of Citizens Associations on the pro-
posal will be sought.
The association referred to COM
mittee request for support Of the
three platoon system for the District
Of Columbia Fire Department.

brought out also during the talk and
this was that DR.. Mondloch's father
was a charter member of the Car
penters union and that another
brother is now a member of the
same organization.
President Comba made a very fine
report of the special convention of
the Montana Federation of Labor
that was held at Helena on the 10th
and 10th. Seventy resolutions e
submitted for consideration accord
ing to Mr.. Comba. The substance of
these instruments embraced wages
and conditions relating to firemen,
teachers, printing trades, cooks and
walters, women's protective, bar
tenders, railroad organizations,
teamsters, miners and many other
unions.
The teachers submitted a resolu-
ton relating to an increase of old
age pensions for members of their
profession. This measure will prob
ably be brought up in the next ses-
sion of the Legislature. The print
ing trade condemned the use of
mimeograph machines. The painters
condemned the practice of using
CCC boys as painters in CCC camps.
The Federation of Labor adopted a
resolution also demanding a six-hour
day for bank clerks. Amendments
should be made to the Montana
compensation law, providing for
payment for persons suffering from
silicosis contracted in the mining in
dustry. Another proposition relat-
ing to miners adopted by the CON
vention, was that some legislation
should be passed preventing small
mining companies from avoiding
payment to their employees after the
venture had not been as successful
as anticipated. General condemna-
ton of the convention was expressed
to any type of sales tax whatsoever.
The electricians submitted a resolu-
ton demanding that Montana have
a state electrical inspector. The
miners also want 8 hours from collar
to collar.
All phases of the National Social
Security Act were treated and a
model unemployment compensation
bill adopted with amendments.

WORKERS ALLIANCE
ASKS PUBLIC TO AID
IN RESTORING JOBS

In coping with the problem of re-
cent lay offs from the WPA and in
fact with the broader problem of
unemployment with all its serious
consequences we have set up a COM
mittee made up of the organized I'M
employed and members of organ
lied labor and other interested per-
sons.
The Butte local of the Workers
Alliance of America in tackling the
problem of unemployment insists
that the healthiest and sanest solu-
ton is to provide jobs that can not
be found elsewhere. In this respect
our work differs from the work of
the Associated Charities and the Sal
walton Army, since they are purely
charitable organizations. We and
the committee we have set up say
that there is a certain degradation in
accepting charity, and that jobs must
be given to men and women able
and willing to do work, for the sake
of their self respect and for the sake
of general well-being.
Different organizations, people in
political position, business men and
in short everyone interested and eff
fected by the recent lay offs have
been asked to send letters and wires
of protest to their congressman and
senator's. Such formal protests are
going in from all parts of the coun-
try. If you have not sent in such
a protest already you should do so.
At this time because little atten-
ton is given to protests on the part
Of individuals who have lost their
jobs and are in need it becomes nee
essary to 60 before the local WPA
set-up with the demand that WPA
jobs be restored to those who have
lost them and that relief be given to
those who need it.
We ask that you give us all the
help you can in this problem. If it
is possible be present at the local
offices of the WPA at the Silver Bow
Club on December % at 100 o'clock.

WHY DO We Die!
AN ANALYSIS OF

PEOPLE SHOULD
COOPERATE WITH
kNTI-T-B SOCIETY

The unions of Silver Bow County
are very much interested in the
Butte Anti tuberculosis Society.
That this interest is genuine has
been indicated by the returns re-
ceived by the Society from requests
sent to unions for aid. The only
revenue that the Society receives is
through the sale of Christmas Seals.
Business men, unions and other Or
CARNATIONS and individuals are asked
each year to buy these seals. The
degree that everyone responds to
this appeal, assures to that extent
the success of the work of the or
ganization. Most of the unions have
members on the Board. At the pres
ent time the Butte unit of the Anti
tuberculosis Society is quite in need
of funds owing to the purchase last
year of a new and up-to-date X-ray
machine. Through this machine it
is possible to detect the presence of
T. B. more accurately than was for
merly possible.
Something, also, that the people
should know is that the Society re-
quests not only children but every
one, adults included, to come to the
court house and be examined. The
organization is doing very wonder
full service and should receive the
whole hearted support of everyone
and every organization in the coun-
try.

Leary, president of the Miners, rep

of the state la lating to 8 hours

He wishes sure all employees
in industry that if they have some
information to communicate to his
office not to be afraid to sign their
names as the information and the
identity of the writer will be held
in the strictest confidence. Further
more in order to obtain a conviction,
it is necessary to have considerable
information about the company com
planned of. If the writer gives his
name and address, it is then possible
for Mr.. O'Byrne to interview the
writer and run down the alleged
violations, possibly by checking the
institution Oh through other means
employed by his office. Where the
workers in an industry are organ
lied it is easy for the union to take
up a complaint of a member and sub
nit it to the labor commissioner,
but the authors of many of the let
tiers which he receives do not belong
to organized labor.
Butte, Montana,
December 81, 1886
Mr.. Ed O'Byrne,
Labor Commissioner,
Helena, Montana.
Dear Sir:
Understand the 8 hour day is now
in effect in Montana.
I previously directed a letter to
your office covering infractions Of
this law by = > = in Butte. This is
first hand information as I am an
employee and there are numerous
cases of employees working at night
and the two mail clerks, especially,
work from 7:30 a. m. to $50 or 600
p. m.
A check can easily be made by
watching the office any evening and
watching the employees arriving
and leaving.
I am sure you could easily con-
vict = (name of company, and if
handled it will neal better working
conditions and would mean the en-
ployment of at least five more
workers.
Very truly yours,

GREAT FALLS UNIONS
ASSIST THE PEOPLE

A communication was received at
the last meeting of the Cascade
County Trades and Labor Assembly
requesting them to send resolutions
to the Governor of Kentucky asking
that four members of the United
Mine Workers be pardoned for Of
lenses allegedly committed during
the strike in May, 1881. The central
body did as requested.
The unions were a little bit in
doubt about giving its official sup
port to the Great Falls Independent
The request for such action was
placed on file.
Some time ago it was thought APP
parently, and incorrectly, that the
celery strike in California had been
settled. A letter from Stockton, Cal
~ifornia, asked that members of or
gained labor in Montana refrain
from eating such vegetable until the
growers there have recognized the
demands of the union. These celery
workers have been out on strike
There will be no celery served al
the Victory Banquet according tc
action taken by the Assembly.
The American Federation of Gov
eminent Employees of Billings sent
a letter condemning the actions Of
Burke Clemmons and Commissioner
Bruce. The Assembly wants further
information.
The Assembly had complained Of
conditions existing in the Resettle-
ment Administration. Senator
Wheeler stated that he was making
an investigation.
The central labor body concurred
in a request of the Butte Teachers
union asking that Jerome Davis be
reinstated as a member of the Board
of Permanent Officers of Yale Uni
versity.
The Clerks union complained of
violations Of the 8 hour law by GER
tain firms of Great Falls. It appears
that one of these business houses
asked a clerk to do painting which
he refused. It vas reported that the
member was discharged. The whole
subject was given to the Grievance
Committee.

Commission Supports
Anaconda Company

On Tuesday morning, December
%, at IL o'clock, the County Com
missioners of Silver Bow County
awarded the contract for county
printing to the Montana Standard.
This contract is awarded biennially
Perhaps since the creation of this
county, the county printing has been
awarded to one newspaper or an
other owned by a corporation.
In recent years or since the Clark
interest vacated this field, the con
tract has been awarded to the Mon
tana Standard Publishing Company.
In reality it is awarded to the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company. The
printing of Silver Bow County over
a two year period amounts to about
$25, 900 to $4,000. The Anaconda
Company doesn't want to lose this
plum. The Montana Labor News
was a bidder for this work two years
ago and again this year and both
times it was turned down by the
Commissioners. The former commits
sioners were composed of Mr.. King,
MIR. O'Brien and Mr.. Batani, the
present Board is composed of Mr..
Merkle, Mr.. Batani and Mr.. O'Brien,
All three Of them voted for the Ana
conda Company.
To be as reasonable and kind as
possible, it would seem that the
working people of this county who
own the Montana Labor News and
who pay taxes on homes in this
county should be accorded this con-
tract at least once in a life time, all
things being equal.
Senator Wheeler assured the
Trades and Labor Council in a tele-
gram that he would do everything
that he possibly could to prevent
further reductions in WPA work.
Senator Murray and family ac-
knowledged an expression of sympa-
thy from the Trades and Labor
Council.
Paul Erler was submitted by
James Comba, president of the coun-
Gil, as chairman of the Presidents
