The Montana State Federation of
Labor is urging the Great Falls I'M
ions to support the proposed Con-
stitutional Amendment, giving the
Legislature the power to reduce the
number of hours of labor.
A communication was also receiv-
ed by Great Falls from the Union
Label League of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor requesting them to
organize a Union Label League. (The
Silver low Trades and Labor Coun-
ell has already taken action and the
formation of a Union Label League
is well on the way in Silver Bow
County,
James F. O'Connor, candidate for
Congress in the Second District sent
a latter of thanks to he Great Falls
unions.
One other important feature of the
last meeting was a discussion which
arose over the need OF Montana
holding a special session of the Leg
islature to draft a bill to take care of
the contributions being made by en-
ployers in relation to the unemploy-
ment insurance of the National Soc
ial Security Act. Secretary Whit
more called the attention of the dele
gates to the fact that if such a bill
were not enacted before January /,
1887, approximately 500, 100000 of
federal funds would be lost by the
state of Montana. A communica-
ton was authorized to be sent out
to all central labor bodies %appraising
them of this situation and urging
these organizations to press for the
special session.
The rest of the session of the Cas-
cade County Trades and Labor
Council was consumed in appointing
committees to help affiliated unions
and to adjust grievances which had
arisen between some of the unions
and firms in that city.

In the Pennsylvania foray, one
of the prominent figures, right up
front in the whole show, was ex-
Senator Joe Grundy himself. Vas
sir, Old Joe Grundy, right up front.
Also right up front was Alf's
Uncle William Mossman, for many
long years chief lobbyist at Harris
burg for the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Co. Well, you just can't keep a
good uncle down.
They trotted Gift Pinchot out, too,
to dress up the picture-Giff, who
ran out on his old progressivism.
Yassir, it was a mighty purity pic
ture, what with Old Joe and Uncle
Bill and all.
Is this supposed to be a political
campaign? Well, it's a fair ques-
ton. Oh, all right then, what is it?
YOU name it.

Matthews. 1t is through the decis-
ions written by Justice Matthews
that our Supreme Court has gained
the reputation, in late years, of be-
ing the most liberal in interpreting
compensation acts of any court
west of the Mississippi river. Prac-
tically all of the decisions of the
court expanding the Act to comply
with the manifest purpose thereof,
were written by him and the rema-
inder but follow his decisions.
Back in 1920 Justice Matthews
wrote the opinion in Willis v. Pilot
Butte M. Co. (58 Mont. 26), compen-
sating a widow for the loss of her
husband, killed in an alteration.
The next great forward step in the
protection of labor is the decision
in Nicholson ". Roundup Coal Co.
90 Mont. 258) wherein Justice Mat
thews declared that a showing of
negligence on the part OF the en-
ployer is not necessary in this class
of cases and that a man with a weak
heart who died from shock of being
subjected to a cold blast of air, suf-
fered an industrial accident for
which his wife should have compen-
sation, although a sound man might
not have been injured under the
same circumstances; this decision
has been followed in many cases.
1t was Jusice Matthews who de-
clared that Industry should care
for its man power, wrecked by rea-
son of laboring in the industry, just
as it must bear the expense of wre-
ckage of machinery used in the same
manner" This is but justice as
well as humanity" (Moffett v. Boz

ACTIVITIES OF AUXILIARY
NO. OF THE MINERS

One of the most pleasant social
gatherings of last year was the reg
ular weekly card parties held by the
Ladies Auxiliary of the Miners I'm
ion at their hall every Friday night.
During the summer these events
were discontinued, so that there was
general satisfaction expressed in the
announcement made recently that
the ladies of the Miners union will
revive the custom of last year and
commence their card parties on Wed
nesday, October Is. Cash and other
prizes will be given the winner. The
public is cordially invited.
The Ladies Auxiliary are making
a drive for new members. They
hope to perfect a 100 per cent organ
ization and are urging all the wives,
mothers and sisters of the members
of the Butte Miners union to join
them.
The meetings of the union take
place in the evenings of the first and
third Tuesdays of every month.
Joining the organization is very sim
pie, it merely requires that the per-
son desiring to be a member shall
be sponsored by another person al
ready a member of the organization.
A representative of the Depart
ment of Labor will arrive in Butte
today, according to announcement
made by the Butte Miners union.
The labor conciliator will devote his
time here to a solution of the i'm
passe which has developed between
the Butte Miners union and the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company,
over the refusal of the miners to ac-
cept proposals submitted by the
company last week. The miners
signified that they we're not satisfied
with the conditions which the CON
pany had Incorporated in their plans,
The vote on the proposition was
the result Of a long series of negotia-
tons between representatives of the
miners and smeltermen and officers
of the company. 1t is hoped the la
Dor mediator will be able to use the
good offices Of the Government to
bring the two parties to a satisfac-
tory settlement.

Once upon a time, back when he
was trying to start the Spanish
American war, SO as to give circu-
lation a new boost, Hearst wired
to Frederick Remington, then max
ing pictures for Hearst in Cuba.
'You make the pictures, I'll furnish
the war" Pretty cold-blooded, that
was.
You can almost imagine Hearst
sending a radio to Landon: "You
make the funny pictures and I'll
furnish the wah-hoo."

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. IS dNs0
Federal strike mediators were

NENCKEN LIKES
GOV. LAND0N

Special to American Newspapers, Inc.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Flalllng
away at the New Deal and Presl-
dent Roosevelt with his vitriolic
pen, H. L. Mencken, writing in the
current issue Of the American
Mercury, formally indorses Gov
ernor Landon.
Those familiar with Mencken's
writings in the past assert that
Governor Landon is the first presi-
Dental candidate Of any party
ever indorsed by the writer.
1t was pointed out that Mencken,
at various times, opposed Presi-
dents Harding, Coolidge. Hoover
and Franklin D. Roosevelt. He
also campaigned, with his pen,
against former Gov. Alfred E.
Smith.
Summing up the case for Cover
nor Landon by which he justified
his Endorsement, Mr.. Mencken
wrote:
II believe it will be a good
idea to try the Hon. Mr.. Landon,
of Kansas. He would cut q poor
figure in opera, but he looks to
me to be a pretty good hand
with a shovel. He probably
knows a great deal less than the
Hon. Mr.. Roosevelt, but much
more Of what he knows is true.
"And when he promises to do
this or that, laying his hand on
his heart and rolling his eyes
toward the throne Of God, there
is at least D reasonable prOba-
biIity that he will make an
honest effort to keep his word"

Conservation In i. ).
At Maturity-WaIIaCe

Secretary Of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace yesterday told some 200
young men assembled for the
final day Of the first upstream
engineering conference ever held
in this country that the conserva.
ton movement in the United
States has achieved maturity"
Wallace said:
vigorous indignation at the
greedy exploitation of natural
resources was the motive power
behind the conservation move
ment in the days of Theodore
Roosevelt. The technical knOwl-
edge which was accumulated
through years is now bringing
an opportunity for concerted
action"

of scenery. Massine had to re-
arrange some of his choreography
for this unusual condition, using
his corps de ballet to serve as a

IN SOUTH
International News Service

The Administrations soil con-
servation program, hastily substi-
tuted for the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration when the Su-
preme Court held the AAA mcon-
stitutional last January, was re-
jected by almost 400, 900 farmers
Of the South, but was accepted by
more than 1000, 900 farmers of the
Middle West who had opposed
the AAA.
Farmers Of New England and
the Pacific Coast States also raj
lied to the soil conservation pro-
gram in far greater numbers than
to the AAA crop production con-
troll plan.
As q result, the bulk Of the soil
conservation benefit checks from
the $470,000 900 fund established
by Congress will go to the Corn
Belt farmers, a check-up on the
program revealed today.
Checks Smaller
While 9O9, $40 more farmers
throughout the country have
signed up for the soil conservation
program than participated in the
AAA rental and benefit payment
plan, checks will be smaller when
they start rolling out next month
in the first payments under the
new program, as the AAA issued
more than $500 900, 900 last year.
= to a few number of farmers.
All told, 3,348,917 farmers held
AAA contracts for 1885. This year
4,25S,457 have signed work
sheets" to participate in the soil
conservation program.
- Fewer in South
Where 1858, 1877 farmers Of the
1s Southern States participated IN
the AAA program last year, only
1,496 900 are taking part in the SOIL
conservation program this year, a
loss of 372,327. These States are
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor'
gia. North and South Carolina, V1r-
ginia. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-.
sissippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma ana
Texas.
Where only 77O,O26 farmers OF
the eight North Central States
illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Mich:
igan. Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Observation-Disclosures in the AAA
program last year, 1,881,571 have
signed UP for the soil conservation
program this year, an increase OF
l,1l1,545, or more than 145 per
cent.
. The New England States, New
York and Pennsylvania had only
1882 under AAA contracts IN
1885. This year 108,99O are eligible
to receive soil conservation checks

fornia, oregon and Washington
more than doubled the number OF
farmers participating in the soil
conservation program, having 81
546 under AAA contracts, and 30.
sac participating in the new pro
gram.
Nebraska and Kansas divided on
the programs. This year, 55,O09
