UNIONS
DEFY TRIAL.
BYA.E.0FL.
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
international News Service

The new order Of organized la
hor today turned definitely away
from leadership Of the old.
Mass. or industrial unioniSm,
the lusty infant which has grown
up within the ranks Of the 50-year.
old craft, unionized American
Federation Of Labor, struck OUT
for itself.
No more does q single great or.
ganization control the forces Of
organized workers in the United
States. Now, there are two fac
tionS, each bitter in its antagon-
ism to the other.
A meeting Of the IL "rebel"
unions Of the industrial forces,
comprising the Committee for In
duStrial Organization and headed
by powerful John L. Lewis, Of the
United Mine Workers, cast the die
Of division. They met the blunt
charge Of instruction and dual
unlonism lodged against them by
the A. F. Of l. with O unanimous
decision to ignore the declarations
summons to appear here for trial"
August 3.
Moreover. the CTO unions an
nounced plans to expand their de-
fiant drive to unioni1e the steel,
textile, automobile and rubber In
dustrieS along mass or industrial
lines.
Finally, the "rebels" drafted and
dispatched to President william
Green, Of the A. F. Of l., q letter
denying the federation's power to
throw them out.
The next move, 1t appeared,
was UP to the federation, and
will come when its executives
council reaSSembleS August 8.
Suspension Of the Clio Unions
appeared the only solution to the
problem for the haraSSed council.
for II the whole issue IL post
poned until the federation's con-
vention In November. with the IA
''rebel' unions attending and in
good standing, their expulsion
will be impossible.
The CLIO forces comprise about
q third of the A. F. Of L. mem
bership now; inevitably, they
would gain some support by the
time the convention assemblies,
and a twothirdS vote Is neces'
sary for expulsion.

ACCEPTANCE OF A. {.
NJ. AGREEMENT A
TRUCE

The acceptance by the Miners and
Smeltermen of the company's prop
osition of a so cent per day increase,
based on copper at 9Ac a pound,
with provisions for a rs cent in
crease per day after copper reaches
liz cents a pound does not mean
that the men are entirely satisfied.
The rejection of the same PROPOSE
ton a few days ago should have been
ample proof that the workers in the
mines and smelters felt that they
were entitled to far better conditions
than the proposals provided. The
men accepted the proposal yester-
day, not because they liked it or
wanted it, but because they seemed
to feel that at the present time, with
winter staring them in the face, they
couldn't do any better. 1t is only a
truce. The company played a
shrewd hand in making the agree
ment last for two years. 1t exerted
its tremendous power in tacit1y if
not actually repudiating additional
attempts to negotiations, thereby
placing the union on the defensive
and giving the impression of a dead
locked situation. What really hap
pened is that the A. c. M. staged a
strike against additional efforts OF
the union to arrive at more satisfac-
tory terms. The display of crush
ing power by the corporations is the
cause of the workers determination,
throughout the United States to con-
c~entrate their forces for a show
down in the not distant future.
The correct vote of the miners is
as follows:
Proposition No. loo votes.
Proposition No. 2-2,376 votes.
Proposition No. 3-l,538 votes.

Wholesale Business
Increases Under The
Democratic Regime
S urinary for the State of
Montana Just Released, Shows
Increase in Employment and Sales
for the Year 1885.

Wholesale sales in Montana in
1895 showed a gain of SO per cent
over 1893, it was announced today
by William L. Austin, director of the
census, in the first state summary
release of the Wholesale Census, a
part of the current Census of Bust
ness.
In 1895 there were 1921 whole
sale establishments in the state with
net sales during the year of $116,-
359, 600, while in 1888, the last year
for which comparable census data
are available, there were 1899 es-
Establishments with sales of $73, $780,
600. While the number of places of
business remained about the same,
sales increased by SIT per cent. Net
sales were still short of the 1929
peak by 26 per cent. Both of these
percentage changes are affected by
variations in price levels between
the census years, which are not
taken into consideration in this re-
lease but which will be evaluated
in the final report.
Employment
The average number of employees
increased from 1894 in 1888 to
1892 in 1885, a gain Of 8 per cent,
while for the same period pay roll
increased 10 per cent, from $4,852,-
600 in 1888 to $5,772,O00 in 1885, re-
flecting a substantial increase in the
average annual earnings per EN-
ployee.
The increase in earnings was due
in part to the transfer of employees
from a part-time to a full-time
basis, as evidenced by the increase
in total pay roll accompanied by {
decrease in part-time pay roll. The
increase in total pay roll amounted
to 65.3 per cent of the increase If
operating expenses.
In addition the report shows %;
active proprietors and firm member
of unincorporated businesses, VIII,
are not included in the count Of EN-
ployees nor is their compensation in
Guided in pay roll figures.

The State Mining Council of Mon
tana which includes representatives
of all mining and smelter %organiza-
tons in the State of Montana, vigor-
ously urged the necessity of the pas
sage of the 8-Hour Amendment at
its last meeting and notified the
Central Labor Body of Butte of its
action.
The State Mining Council also
praised the efforts of the Montana
State Federation of Labor in arous-
ing the people to the need of passing
this proposed amendment. Nothing
that has come up before the people
in recent years, according to the re-
port of the Council, is so vital to
their interest as the passage of this
8-hour law. At the present time
there are a number of 8-hour laws
on the statutes of Montana, some of
which are quite adequately enforced
and some of which the business in
terests and merchants violate with
IMMUNITY.
While all underground work and
labor around the mines and smelter
is now controlled by the 8-hour
law, it does not seem adequate to
cover the situation as many of the
mining Companies do not adhere to
the law. The 8-hour store law,
which Commissions O'Bryne has so
much trouble with is being violated
every day of the year but it is not
only these phases of it that should
be corrected, although they are i'm
portant, rather must it be recognized
by the public at large that a reduc-
ton of hours III industry is funda-

The Royal Milling 70.
Receives Compliments

An official communication from
the Cascade Trades at Great Falls
was received by the Central Labor
union of Butte Tuesday night clear
ing the Royal Milling Company of
that city with the unions, there and
urging the support of all organized
labor throughout the state of Mon
tana to this company.
The most important brands OF the
Royal Milling Company are as fol-
lows: Rex flour, Gold Medal, Bis
quick, Softasilk and Wheaties. Mem
bers of organized labor, bakers, res
t%aurants and other users of flour
are urged to give their support to
these products.
In respect to the Royal Milling
firm here in Butte of which Mr..
Fred Emmett is local manager, it is
a distinct pleasure to announce that
he and the plant have always been
loyal to the unions and have always
paid union wages, kept union help
and complied in every detail with
union regulations. Fred Emmett
has a long record Of f~riendliness and
loyalty to union organizations. The
settlement of the long misunder-
standing of the Royal Milling Com
pany with the Great Falls unions
comes as n of the most gratifying
events of 1886. The employees of
the Royal Milling Company of
Great Falls now belong to the Cereal
Workers organization of that city
and are represented in the Cascade
Trades and Labor Council.

James Leary Eleded
President OF Miners
Ed Mason Wins Post of Vice Presi-
dent; Billy Pickthall That of Sec
rotary and Walter Smith, Finan-
cial Secretary.

In a general election held at the
Miners Union hall Saturday, Octo-
Der 3rd, almost an entirely new set
of officers were chosen. James
Leary, the popular recording secre-
tary of the organization, was adj
vanced to the position of president
of the Miners organization and Ed
Mason was elected to the position
of vice president. In the race for
recording secretary a hot contest
took place between Mike Ryan and
William Pickthall, Pickthall win
ming by a scant margin of one vote.
The ballots cast for this office was
1872 for Mike Ryan and 1888 for
Pickthall. Walter Smith won the
position of financial secretary.
Among the other offices James Shea
was elected warden, and Lloyd Sti-
matt, conductor.
There were IA nominees for the
office of trustee, five of whom were
to be elected. The successful candi-
dates were Ed Huhtanen, William
j. Tonkin, Fred M~cFadden, John
Mullany, and Patrick Doran.
Unlike many other organizations
the Miners have a rule that no
member of the organization shall
hold any salaried office for more
than two consecutive terms. The
length of each term is one year,
This clause in the constitution auto
matically eliminated some of the
present officers from participating
in the election.
The union also voted upon Off

The headquarters of the national
office is at Denver. The full reports
from around the country have not
