u nion Committee to
Investigate Low Wages
CONTINUED from Page y

CONTINUED from rage -
met with Mr.. Flynn and went into the
situation quite thoroughly.
1t was pointed out by the local Re
lief Administrator that his office has
no control over the amount OF wages
that shall be paid to persons who are
offered jobs in private industry. This
matter is thoroughly within the prov
ince Of the unions. He did say, how
ever, that Henry Hopkins had made a
ruling that neither men nor women
should be taken off the w. P. A.
work and forced into private industry
where wages were inadequate, how
ever, that has no connection with the
Relief Administration The situation
and government rulings as it exists to-
day prohibits any certifications
from the relief office to the Works
Progress Administration for work.
The National Unemployment Service
may have a request from an employer
for workers. This request may then
be transferred to the Relief Admins
tration, but the Relief Administration
at the present time is not putting peo-
pie who are capable OF being employed
on the relief roll. People who are now
on relief are what is known as unem-
playable, namely, those who are physi-
cally or mentally unable to perform
work. Requests do come into the re-
lief office to be placed on relief and the
number of people who have been re-
fused relief, but who are in desperate
need of it keeps accumulating.
Another phase of the w. P. A. anC
relief situation that needs some ex-
PLANTATION is the transference of w. P
A. workers who have been receiving
$48.00 a month to the Resettlemen
Administration at a much reduced fig
ure. A few people have been takei
off the w. P. A in Silver Bow Count!
and transferred to the Resettlemen
Administration and this act ha
aroused bitter indignation. The relic
committee did establish in their owl
minds at least, this conviction, that tn.
professional people of Silver Bow
County, business executives, and mer
chants are trying to use the Nationa
unemployment Service and the loca
relief office as the means of exploit
ing the workers. Realizing that tn
government agencies cannot establis.
rates OF pay, these people demand tina
these services send them employees a
wages that are d~espicably low. Per
haps the unions themselves are t
blame for this situation. 1t has bee
known in union circles that people o
the west side and in other ~residentia
sections are using the depression t
subject daughters of the common pee
pie to slavery conditions and wage.

Wrestling Referee Is
Knocked Unconscious
GOOD NATURED AL LEE RE
CEIVES JOLT WHICH PUTS
HIM OUT OF PICTURE.

Receiving a bunt that was intended
for Eddie Meyers, Al Lee was knocked
out Of the ring onto the floor, suffer
ing a shock which incapacitated him
from finishing his duties, as the most
spectacular feature of the wrestling
bouts at the Miners Union Hall last
Monday. The flying lunge which Lee
received was made by Adams and was
intended to put the finishing touches
on Eddie Meyers, but Eddie was not as
.groggy as Whiskers thought, and
lodged the onslaught, leaving the red
headed referee to receive the force OF
the impact. All this happened in the
final event. Adams and Meyers CON

of an umpire, until Robbins climbed
through the ropes and served in that
official capacity during the remainder
OF the performance. Some irate spec
tator, his patience depleted at Meyers
rough treatment OF Adams, tossed one
Of the steel chairs into the ring. 1t was
no doubt aimed at Meyers. After the
excitement which this act had occurred
had subsidized, the bout continued with
the customary ~ferocious tactics, Eddie
Myers finally dispatching Adams.
In the preliminary event the big Ca

Jack Robbins, who had substituted
for Rudy Skaarda, the announcer hav-
ing stated that the latter wa suffering

han won quite handily. 1t will be re-
membered that Meehan showed here
before and it was intimated at the time
that he had all the attributes of a big
drawing card. Robbins was clearly
outweighed by Meehan, the lrishmar
being much heavier and apparently il
better condition. In order to tell the
real mettle OF Meehan he should b.

The description of the card wouldn'

CHICAGO, September 12.-The
champion Milwaukee Brewers had
a strange-hold on spot in the Amer
lean Association play-of finals today
and the scrappy st. Paul Saints saw
a chance to get back into the running

Indianapolis Indians.
The Brewers won their third

afternoon the Saints took their first
game in three starts against Indian
apolis, 6 to S in IL innings.
Before a paid attendance Of $3.50,
the Brewers advanced to within one

some effective relief pitching by Luke
Hamlin and three-run bursts in the
second and fifth.
The Saints won on the pitching
and batting of young Ira Hutchin-
son, who took the mound in the ninth
with the sacks loaded and two out
and the count three balls and no
strikes on Fred Berger. Hutchinson

scoreless the next two frames. In
the eleventh, after singles by Pasek
and McWilliams, he drove a ground
ball that scored the winning run.
The teams now go to Indianapolis

Curvers TO Face Chisox.

HARRIS decision to use De Shong
today means that for tomorrow's
double header with the White Sox he
will use his two best curve-ball pitch
ers, Pete Appleton and Joe Cascarella.
Chicago has one of the best right
handed hitting line-ups in the league
and Bucky, by now, is certain that
only a good curve-baller stands an
even chance of whipping the Dykes
men.
The Chicago series, after all's said
and done, is likely to be the set that
will determine whether the Nationals
finish in second place. All season the
White Sox have been poison to the
Mats, winning IA Of 19 games, and
only a victory in the Forthcoming
three-game series, as well as a for
midable showing in the remaining 10
