TO COVER NATION
Series of "CIean-Ups" to Be
Pushed, Following Con.
necticut Raids.
Br the associated Press.

Justice Department officials said
yesterday the arrest of large number
of men and women in Connecticut
last week on white slavery charges was
only the first of a series of Clean
ups"
The Department of Justice is in
tensifying its activities against white
slave rings everywhere in the coun-
try" said J. Edgar Hoover. director of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
THE Connecticut ring was by no
means an isolated case"
The arrests in Connecticut, which
Hoover said rounded up lone Of the
most important white slavery groups, -
we're made late Friday after the chief
of the G-men had spent three days
in that area personally guiding prepa-
rations.
Taken Into Custody.
Thirteen men and women, plus
three men arrested in New York, were
taken into custody on white slavery
charges. and 13 others held as mate
rial witnesses.
Hoover said the ring operated in
New England, New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania. very much as other
rings are suspected of operating else
where in the country. Investigators
believe girls were taken to an apart
ment in New Haven, from which,
within "a hours, they we're booked
to disorderly houses in other States
Most of their earnings, which Hoo
yer estimated ran as high as S4O0-a-
week per girl, were alleged to have
been turned over to others in ex-
change for IAN occasional drinking
party and wearing apparel of an in
ferior quality"
Collections by Squad.
Hoover said strong arm squad"
collected $50 from the head of each
disorderly house, while the booker
and his associates collected 10 per
cent of each girls earnings.
Most cases in which the Justice
Department has Jurisdiction, Hoover
added, involved an organized ring,
since the department can prosecute
white slavery cases only when girls
have been transported from one State
to another.

Beauty Lasts After Death.

In death as in life. Anja Tscherno-
witch retains her reputation as the
woman who never lost her youth. That
was the title the medical profession
gave her when she was go years Of
age and looked like 10. Her body was
exhumed recently at Uralsk, Siberia,
and those who witnessed the exhuma-
ton we're astonished to find that she
still retained the appearance of a girl.

The pronghorn is one of the swiftest

On their native plains pronghorns

MONAGHAN ASSAILS
HIS ANTAGONISTS

Playing his enemies for their bitter
attacks upon him and for their lies
and Misrepresentation, Joseph P.
Monaghan, Congressman for this dis
trict and aspirant for United States
Senator, appeared at the Central Labor
Council Tuesday evening and delivered
the most stirring political address that
has been heard in union headquarters
in this campaign.
Mr.. Monaghan described his loyalty
to the unions, his consistent action Of
voting for all measures in the interests
Of the working people and organized
labor, and scolded the Trades Council
for its apparent lack of loyalty TO him.
The Congressman accused his enemies
Of trying to undermine him, stating
that powerful interests we're doing
everything in their power to prevent
his election to the Senate. He gave
the delegates to understand that a seat
in the Senate welded tremendous
power and on hat account pressure
was being brought to bear to keep a
man OF his liberal stamp, out OF that
position.
The Congressman was asked to re-
main until the meeting adjourned so
that the delegates could visit with him
and welcome him back to his home
town.

BARRIERS TO FIGHT
SCAB BEAUTY SHOP

Delegates from the BARRIERS union
requested a joint committee, COM
posed OF delegates from their organi-
cation and delegates from the Silver
Bow Trades and Labor Council, to at
tend a meeting of the Building Trades
Council in order to get some action
from both organizations relative to
work being done on the building hous-
ing the McCarroll Beauty Shop.
In an article published in the Mon
tana Labor News a week ago, it was
mentioned that the unions were going
to vigorously prosecute the declaration
Of unfairness that has been levied
against the McCarroll Shop. We men
toned at that time that this paper is
going TO print the names OF people who
frequent this place and we are also
going to publish the numbers of cars
which transport people there, and the
names of the owners of these cars. 1t
mentioned last week that the
owner of these cars may not p%atronize
this scab beauty shop themselves but
that the car is being used either to
bring customers or to bring people to
the shop who work there. We are
waiting to see what action this joint
committee from the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council and the Building
Trades Council have upon forcing this
institution to cease their chiseling prac-
tees and abide by the rules Of the Bar
bers' union. If joint action by the two
councils can't bring this place in line,
then other more drastic means will be
employed.

ITEMS OF E
IN THE TRADES COUNCIL

Adds McGrath, who is seeking the
position OF County Clerk and Recorder
on the Democratic ticket, addressed
the Trades Council and appealed for
their support in the Primary election.
He stated that he had twice aspired
for this office, but during the last
campaign he was Out on strike. He re-
piled to his critics that since that time
he had tried to make a living in his own
profession as an office man.
Secretary Grimes called attention to
the fact that some literature had been
left at his desk relating to the record of
Jerry O'Connell. Delegate Ripper, Of
the Clerks, announced that he had dis
tributed the sheets around to the dele
gates.
Considerable discussion arose over
the candidacy OF Miles Romney for
Governor. Many of the delegates
arose and expressed their confidence
and loyalty to him. Delegates from
the Electricians Union are particularly
interested in the campaign of Mr..
Romney. The secretary described the
assistance that had been given by Mr..
Romney during the printers strike in
1882, wherein the office Of the Western
News at Hamilton had printed the
Montana Labor News, when the unions
were having difficulty in finding a shop
to get the paper out.
=
Delegate Driscoll, vice president OF
the Montana State Federation Of La
Dor, made a splendid report on the re-
cent convention of that body at Bill
ings.
Anaconda clerks expressed sincere
appreciation over the assistance that
had been rendered by the Butte unions
during their recent strike.
William D. Foy, candidate for the
Legislature on the Democratic ticket,
in a communication appealed for the
endorsement and support Of organized
labor.
Secretary Grimes made a report for
the union committee which had met
the day before in connection with the
mass Presidents rally that is to be
held at the Gardens July II.
Montana labor news., 1936-07-02

Local labor chairmen, each of whom
is presented with a handsome c%ertifi-
cate Of appointment, are writing and
wiring in the most enthusiastic mes
sages.
An example Of enthusiasm in the
smaller places is Parco, Wyo., where
every union man is expected to be-
come a recruit. Boston, Mass, under
the Craftsmanship of John J. Kear-
ney, is determined to take first rank
and probably will do SO.
Local unions from all over the ma
ton are ordering certificates and
tickets. International unions are cir
cularizing their membership in many
cases and the response is amazing.
One of the best records thus far is
being made by the Order of Railroad
photographers. President Manion has
submitted the plan to his Divisions.
They write him their requirements
and on a form letter made for the
purpose he makes requisition on
Chairman Harrison. ORT acquisitions
are coming in punches with every mail.
In Washington, D. c., Chairman
John Locher is forging ahead, with a
large committee helping him. In
cluded in the Washington Committees
personnel is U. S. Marshal John Col
poys, publisher OF the Trades Unionist,
and Frank Lee Of the City Bank, a
machinist.
D. B. Robertson, of the B. of L. F.
& E., in Cleveland, is putting amaz-
ing energy into the campaign, while
John F. McNamee, editor of the B. Of
L. F. & F. Journal, is acting chair
man for Cleveland, with William J..
Winston as chairman. Cleveland is
bidding strong for top place, with
railroad unions and C. L. U. affiliates
working hand in hand.
One of the important %by-products of
the whole campaign is in the creating
Of new relationships between train
service brotherhoods and c. L. U. or
CARNATIONS.
In Chairman Harrison's office a
great map on the wall is IN constant
use. Every chairman is represented by
a pin. Checking the map against la
boris organization list shows progress
and shows where work remains to be
done.
Through Chairman Harrison's Labor
Finance Division a special type of GER
~tificate and ticket is issued, made es-
p@ecially for labor. Labor tickets are
good at any rally in the country on
June u. Through these rallies, to be
held in all cities and towns on that
night, when the President accepts re-
nomination, it is planned to raise the
entire. Democratic National campaign
fund. Through its own labor tickets,
labor will this year get full credit for
its effort.

Garment Work.
ers Join Union Label
Trades Department

The International Ladies Garment
Workers Union has adopted a re-de-
signed union label and has become af-
filiated with the Union Label Trades
Department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The label is printed on
heavy linen or satin and bears the
white eagle" of their emblem. II is
issued by the Ladies Garment Work
ers' union and is now available on
union-made cotton wash dresses. The
Ladies Garment Workers plan to ex-
tend its use to silk dresses, children's
clothes and other women's apparel
in a few months.
In connection with the new affiliate,
Secretary Ornburn Of the Union Label
Trades Department issued the follow
ing statement:
I'VE are pleased to have the Ladies'
Garment Workers Union in the Union
Label Department. I believe that with
the stimulus that has been given union
label buying in the past year, and with
the added momentum which has re-
from the organization of the
American Federation of Women's
Auxiliaries Of Labor, the Ladies Car
ment Workers will receive a greater de-
mand for their union-made goods.
1T is encouraging to have the conf
dence of the labor unions that have
adopted union labels and are affiliating
with the Union Label Trades Depart
ment, and also to have the revived CO.
operation of the members of labor
unions, the a~uxiliarized Women's or
CARNATIONS, together with the members
OF their families and their friends.
great movements are creating a
united force through collective buying
that the chiselers can't stop.
