D. {. CRIMINAL
COURT TO SIT
IN SUMMER
D O c k It Congestion
Guarded Against
By New Action

AS a safeguard against any pos
Sible congestion of the criminal
court dockctS when the summer
recess ends in October, it was de
cided in district Supreme Court
today to extend the term of the
criminal courts.
Accordingly, one division OF
criminal court will remain in Ses,
sion for two weeks during the first
part of the recess, which begins
June 81, and will resume it's ses,
sions a month before the october
term beglLs.
Bonded Cases Increase
1t was explained that, although
the docket of cases in which the
defendants are in Jail is virtually
current, with but IL prisoners
awaiting trial, the number of
bonded cases has increased some
what due to the prolonged trials of
a number OF Federal cases.
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue
will extend the term of his crimi,
nal court for the two weeks Of
the summer sessions and some
other justice will undertake the
September sessions.
The criminal docket was aug
mented by % new cases when the
Grand Jury reported that num-
ber of indictments today.
Most of the indictments were
of petty nature, but one was that
of Thomas w. Herrold, former
bookkeeper and cashier of the
Navy Cafeteria Association,
owners of the concession in the
Navy Building, on an embezzle
ment charge.
Lost in Stocks
Herrold, according to police, has
admitted taking $6,503.96 of the
association funds on April 15. The
money was lost in the stock mar
ket, police quote Herrold as saying.
Others indicted and the charges
against them include:
Grand Larceny-Stephen Bule-
boSh, Catherine Lawson, James
Brown, Hampton G. Brown, Sid
ney Gray.

SENATE W IN :
CONFERENCE
VICTORY
Federal Lump Sum- Is
Set at Sc, 100000
After Fight

Leaving in its wake in the Sem
ate a trail of invective and bitter
feeling seldom aroused by a piece
of national legislation, the 1887
District appropriation bill today
was scheduled to be brought up
in the House for final approval.
The conference report if aps
proved today by the House assures
the city of balanced budget next
year without the necessity of
raise in taxes.
The bill totals approximately
$43, 200, 900 of which $5,000,000 is
to be paid from Federal funds.
Victory for Senate
The compromise was distinct
victory for the Senate conferees
who held out against the de-
termination of House members to
put the Federal contribution at
$2,700,000, thereby forcing a
raise in the real estate levy to
make up the deficit. Although
the Senate only came down by
100000 while the House raised
its figure $2,30O,00O, the District
actually gets only $4,950,000.
The $4,000 was Topped off as
sop to the House to provide
President Roosevelt with funds to
hire experts to arrive at the
amount of Federal contribution
that should be made on future
bills.
Indication that the Senate
came near not giving in as much
as it did was evidenced by the
outburst of indignation that
swept over that body when the
conference report was called up
yesterday afternoon.
Clark Scores Dictator"
Led by Senator Bennett Champ
Clark CD of Missouri? a TRADE
was loosed against the manner in
which the bill was handled by the
House. While closely adhering to
Senate rules which forbid a mem
Der to mention another member
of the Senate or the House by
name, Senators made frequent
references to an individual, un.
daubtedly meant to be Represen.
tative Thomas L. Blanton Cd, OF
Texts.
Senator Clark said:
"T certainly do not wish to
bubble at this time, but as a
member of the Senate, which
automatically makes me a mem.
ber of Congress, desire to ex-
press my very great indignation
and very great fear for a system
employed in the last few years
which makes it possible for one
member of either branch of tho
Congress to undertake to set
himself up as a dictator as alb
solute as Hitler in Germany or
Stain in Russia or MuSSOlini In
Italy over people living within
the shadow of the Capitol of the
United States"
Copeland Indignant
Senator Clark later served no
tice that next year he would OPP
pose any such tactics. At this
point. Senator Royal s. Copeland
Cd of New York jumped to his
feet and implored Senate Clark
to do it now. Senator Copeland,
although conferee on the bill.
did not sign the report and voted
against it.

II you plan to teach your canary
tricks, don't try unless it has more
than average intelligence and you are
willing to spend months and count
less hours at the task.
How to train canary birds" was
outlined yesterday by Ralph Hackett.
jr., who laid aside newspaper
camera several years ago to devote
all his time to canarieS.
The procedure is somewhat simple.
The first trick-taking the bird out
of a cage and getting him used to
sitting on q stick high in the air-also
is simple. But canary learns slowly
and surely. Each trick must be re-
peated hundred times o. more.
Hackett has the advantage OF
numbers in training canaries. He can
watch hundreds Of them daily and
select the most intelligent birds and

Making actors of Canaries
Requires Patience, Says Expert

the best singers for his Canary Fol-
lies"
They must be handled with kind
ness and care and must be rewarded
often with food-bird seed or an
egg preparation which reminds one
of mashed potatoes except for the
yellow color.
First you start with stick. Open
the door and get the canary to hop
out. Then, with the bird on the
stick, you raise him to perch high
above the floor. This is to get the
canary accustomed to a high alti-
tude-at least high for canary. The
odds are he will fiutter to the floor
so or q 100 times before he finally
decides the lofty perch is safe.
The task is slightly easier there
after. but still several months are
required to produce trained actor.

ROYAL
NEXT MONDAY

The audience was we'll pleased with
the result Of the wrestling match at
the Miners Union Hall last Monday
evening. In the main event Mickey
Mcclure gained two falls over Hugh
Adams. after Adams had won the first
round. Between rounds OF this event
the announcer introduced Tex Hager
Of Oklahoma and in his remarks
stated that Hager wanted to assure the
audience that they were Witnessing
some real wrestling. 1t was hardly
necessary for him to make the asser-
ton as the fans were we'll aware Of
that fact. Neither Mcclure nor Adams
at any time attempted to crawl through
the ropes to get out OF a pinch; neither
did they resort to any Of the other
crude tactics that is so much employed
by many of the other so-called wrest-
lers. 1t was a clean scientific match,
well worth anyone while to witness.
In the semi-final Kusek defeated Tex
Hager. Kusek clowned quite a bit in
this match, A little Of this goes a long
way. Hager is particularly clever and
about as agile a wrestler as has ever
been seen in a Butte ring and certainly
has won the hearts OF the fans. He
challenged the winner of the Mcclure
Adams affair.
The opener was won by Rudy
Skaarda OF San Francisco over Jack
Robbins. The management is putting
on some excellent cards and they are
we'll worth seeing,
Next Monday night another wrestle
royal has been arranged. Selections
for this event will be made from among
Whisker Adams, Bob Cummings, Billy
S~pendlove, Art Belcher, Eddie Meyers,
Richie Meyers, Tex Hager, Rob Roy,
KLEIN Kusek, Rudy Skaarda, Mickey
Mcclure, Lenoard Jorgenson and
Horace Barber. Some of the afore-
mentioned men may be a little reluc-
tant about getting in the same ring with
Eddie Meyers and definite choices at
this time have not been made. Then
again it may be that Meyers will not
be selected. There is a possibility that
should Meyers get into the ring, the
others may gang upon him in order to
get rid OF him.
A semi-final event has been arranged
between Eskimo Eku and Swede Erick-
son. If the former wrestle royal is
any criterion as to how the people take
to- it, next Monday should again wit
ness a full house with perhaps many
being turned away. Seats are already
sale at the cigar stores.

Government Helps
To Make SCabs

All the jobs OF Clifton and Apologize
and all Of their equipment has been de-
clared unfair in the state OF Montana
by the Anaconda Building Trades
Council, according to reports at the
Central Labor Council.
A strike against this firm at Race
Track has been published heretofore in
this paper. After the action taken by
the Anaconda Unions, the local Hold
Carriers and Building L,aborers' walked
off the job at the Basin Creek Road
project. Now the members Of this
union, because of this action cannot
get any other job, neither can they get
relief, This ruling Of those in charge
of the Works Progress Administration
and the Relief Administration if car
ried out means hat members of or
ganized labor will be compelled to scab
whether they want to or not or else
starve.
1t seems that the government is still
on the job protecting the capitalists.
the employer and the contractor in any
thing they want to do. If the en-
ployer doesn't want to pay the rate OF
wages, nor provide reasonable work
ing conditions, attempts apparently OF
organized labor TO force him to do so,
will be met by the opposition of the
government.
The Trades and Labor Council is
going to attempt to have this black list
ruling modified. 1t certainly is the
height of infamy to compel the men
who have been brought up to regard
the rules of their organization as
something sacred and something to be
implicitly obeyed to force them to de-
stroy this oath and this teaching by
narrow prejudicial and unreasonable
rulings of government agencies.
This is not a sympathetic strike. The
job is unfair. There is a vast distinc-
ton between walking off an unfair job
and staging a sympathetic strike where
the industry is still fair.

CLERKS TRYING TO ORGANIZE.

A communication was received from
c. c. Coulter, Secretary Treasurer Of
the Retail Clerks National Union Of
La Fayette, apprising the members Of
organized labor OF the fight that is now
in progress between that organization
and the Kroger Grocery and Baking
Company.
According to information contained
in the letter, the employees of this
concern have been forced to strike at
St. Louis, Missouri. The union has
asked for an increase in wages to meet
the rising cost of living, full seniority
rights to prevent the company from at
lacking and destroying the union
through firing and intimidation, for
closed shop working agreement and the
elimination Of the Dyer speed system.
A strike is also in progress among
the clerks at Memphis, Tennessee,
against the same concern. The Piggy
Wiggly stores are being picketed in the
latter city. Unions all over the coun-
try are interested in this battle particu-
larly because the clerks have had a diff
ficult time to form a powerful national
organization and it is only in recent
years that this type of worker has de-
termined to protect his rights and
wages through the trade union move
ment.
Butte is fortunate in having one Of
the strongest and most powerful clerks
unions in the United States.

February 9Th, 1886.

The only important Official acts since
Congress convened, aside from general
appropriation measures, have been the
Soldiers Bonus and the repeal of the
Bankhead Cotton Act, the Kerr To-
bacco Act and the Potato Control Act.
This repeal was accomplished in the
Senate with no one Directing and in
the House with only ten members vot-
ing against it, including myself. The
reason for repeal of these Acts was
the Supreme Court decision invalidat-
ing the AAA. The issue upon which
the vote occurred was whether or not
Congress should supinely submit to the
Supreme Court destroying every Act
for the promotion of economic liberty.
Some, however, opposed on principle to
the bills voted for repeal. However.
my personal view can no better be set
forth than by restating briefly what I
said on the Floor, February S:
1--WE have a marvellous democratic
form of Government. We do not have
to scrap the Constitution, but we have
to destroy the judicial ~obligarchy which
saps its strength and BATTLE its law
makers, The issue is right squarely be-
fore US and before President Roose-
welt. He must accept and we must
accept that issue if government of, by
and for the people OF the United States
is not to perish from this earth
This veto power of the Supreme
Court was presented four times in the
Constitutional Convention by a mar
named Randolph, and four times it was
rejected. All students OF law and eco
Monies admit that the power of the
Supreme Court is a usurped one. The
Congress of the United States should
have manhood enough and v~irility
enough to stand up and assert its pro-
t~ectorate over the rights Of the people
and assert that it no longer will permit
the Supreme Court to destroy every
act designed to bring about economic
liberty

Murray and Wheeler
Thanked for Placing
COmbO As Director

The Trades and Labor Council passed
a resolution TO thank Senators Murray
and Wheeler for placing James Combo,
a member of the Engineers Union as
regional director OF the Works Pro
gress Administration at Butte.
An editorial in the Montana Stand
ard of Monday mentioned the names
Of nearly all the new important Of
ficers who had received jobs in the
recent shakeup OF the Works Progress
Administration and the Relief Admin
istration, but either deliberately or I'M
consciously it omitted the name Of
James f. Combo. Perhaps the cor
poration papers don't want to see Mr..
Combo in this office.
Mr.. Combo has been acting as field
man for the State Railway Commits
sion since Jerry O'Connell was elected
as Commissioner and usually accom-
panied the commission on its rate hear
ings. He has proved a valuable man
to the Railway Commission and they
regret very much to lose his efficient
services. Labor is universally pleased
that Mr.. Combo got this office.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
tactics, the SOCIOLOGY and the rules
Of organized labor, having been a dele
gate to the Trades and Labor Council
for seven years, financial secretary and
business agent Of the Engineers Union,
general chairman Of the strike commit
tee Of the engineers and miners strike
in 1884. The new director served in the
navy during the World War. Since the
close of the war most OF his time wa
employed as first motion engineer at
the Tramway mine.
Mr.. Combo resides with his wife and
five children at 842 Lexington street.

WASHINGTON, D. William
Green, president Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, made a vigorous
criticism of the activities of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization in
an address here before the thirty-third
constitutional convention OF the United
Mine Workers OF America.
The Committee for Industrial Or
ganization, whose chairman is Presi-
dent John L. Lewis Of the Mine Work
ers, was formed last November by the
executives Of eight unions affiliated
with the American Federation Of Labor
shortly after the 1885 convention OF the
Federation had decided, by a vote Of
1904 to l0,933, in favor Of a broad
liberal policy OF organization in all lines
of industry.
Mr.. Green traced the history of the
industrial unionism theory in the
United States from its adoption by the
Knights of Labor in 1873 through the
Debs movement for railroad industrial
unionism and in the various conven-
tons of the American Federation of
Labor since 1908.
He declared the American Federation
OF Labor conventions are the supreme
law-making tribunal of the Federation,
and insisted that every affiliated or
ganization has an obligation scrupul-
ously to observe the laws enacted by
the conventions.
He held that the Committee for In
dustrial Organization is a group estab-
lished within the A. F. of L. to oppose
the organization policy fixed by the
1885 convention, and in the interest of
trade union solidarity urged that com
mittee be dissolved in accordance with
the recommendation OF the A. F. Of
L. Executive Council.
