FOOTBALL hardly will be the
Il same with Gloomy Gil" Dobie
missing from the ranks. His resig-
nation at Cornell carries the entire
grid staff out, includil 6 five assist
ants. Gil's luck was all bad at
Ithaca, but he is recognized as an
able grid mentor nevertheless. He
proved it years ago when his teams
were unbeatable on the Pacific
Coast. Big Red elevens Of Cornell
used to be tops, but they failed 70
click under Dobie and he tore up a
contract that had two years to run
Bats with nine points led the
Butler scorers when the Bulldogs
trounced Michigan State Saturday
night. The contest was won at the
free throw line, eight charity losses
to five for the Spartans. The score
was 24-21.
DURDUE and Notre Dame went
a in for field goal imitation. The
Boilermakers tailed 26 from the
field and the Irish "a. Purdue
crushed Chicago, 59-16, and N. D.
smothered st. Benedict's SILT just
soft touches for the Hoosier teams
Indiana Central made it a real
home coming and let Ia players per-
form before the old grads. Man
chester was walloped, 64-31 Iwen-
ty-eight field goals were registered
by the Greyh0unds.
IT'S an i'll blizzard, etc. Ray Mil
4 Ter. veteran boxer, was on the
point of trying a comeback and
counting more bruises and scars
when a blizzard hit New York. He
turned to selling coal and presto,
cancelled his comeback. His friends
swamped him with orders-probably
to keep him out of the ring.
INDIANA and Purdue, undefeated
i in Big Ten competition, do not
meet this season and there is a
similar situation in New York which
has the cage fans over there talk
ing in their sleep. New York U.
and Long Island U. are unbeaten
and are not scheduled to face each
other. The Olympic plan is TO
choose only one five from that dis
trict. So get ready to hear a voci-
ferrous squawk from the team that
is sidetracked.
Whereas Earl Meyers was Mich
igan's keading basketball scorer with
so points in Big Ten games a year
ago, John Townsend of Indian
apoIis already has scored So and
George Rudness So in seven games
this season. Rudness is the teams
leading scorer for the season with
96 points, but the real race is a
family affair, with John and Earl
Townsend involved. Both have
scored SO points, including non
Conference games.

TINE Times-Legion Golden Gloves
u tourney has become such a pop
ular feature on the local sports CAL
endar that the capacity of the Arm
DRY is taxed to accommodate the
fans. The current classic is the
fourth annual. 1t "out-grew" Tom
linson Hall and threatens to do the
same thing at the Armory. If the
city had larger building downtown
it would be possible to have action
going on in two rings at the same
time. The double ring arrangement
stretches the necks of the spectators
who try to watch both rings at once
but the cities in which it has been
tried report packed houses.

WORKERS OF AMERICA

Cincinnati, Ohio, January 10, 1886.
To All National, State and Central
Bodies OF the American Federation
of Labor,
Greetings
In the name OF the three hundred
men and women who have marched for
three long winter months on the picket
lines in front of the clothing sweat
shops Of their bosses, we call upon your
organization to offer these men and
women on strike, your moral support.
You can be of real help to their
cause. The Cincinnati strike-bound
sweatshops do a nationwide business,
and it is likely that they are finding an
outlet for their scab products in your
community.
By publicizing the story OF the strikes
here, by naming these labor hating
firms, by interviewing retail stores
in your community SO as to
find whether or not they are handling
scab Cincinnati made clothes, in these
ways you will extend the firm hand Of
organized labor to the men and women
strikers OF Cincinnati.
Sincerely and fraternally yours,

Wrestling Match
Attracts Crowd

Some times in visiting a motion pic
ture play a scene is depicted showing
the end Of the show and the people
walking out Of the exits and talking to
one another about the merits OF the
performance. If this had been done
last Monday night following the wrestl-
ing match at the Miners Union Hall,
|82H East Park Street, the promoter
would have been highly gratified with
the results as the conversation and the
scenes would have displayed a marked
satisfaction with the whole card. That
was the general reaction of the spec
tators after the show was over.
There was more clean, straight
wrestling competition last Monday
night than has been shown for some
time and less OF the eye-gonging, hair
pulling, and other u~ncouth tactics. Bob
Cummings and Art Belcher, who have
been seen in action a number Of times
here, have won the hearts Of the
wrestling fans. This was another no
ticeable feature Of the conversation
among the fans. These two boys are
much admired. Perhaps part of this
admiration comes from the way they
are built, as both have slim, clean, we'll
developed bodies while the art they dis
play in the game is highly appreciated.
Spendlove and Kusek, in the main
event, were particularly rough but that
is part Of the show. 1t was won by
Spendlove. Nothing produces a better
sensation among the onlookers than an
exhibition of straight power and this
was shown in excellent fashion by both
Spendlove and Kusek.
Cummings won from Bob Roy in the
semi-windup and the preliminary be-
tween Art Belcher and Erickson was a
draw.
The matches are worth going to see.
An unusual card has been arranged
for next Tuesday night, the 25th; the
regular Monday night performance
having been postponed in Difference to
the boxing exhibition at the Fox The
atre.
Betty buShey, the WOrld champion
lady wrestler, will attempt to throw Art
Belcher. The management announces
that the lady has requested that none
OF the hair pulling, body strangles, or
other severe holds be barred out Of
consideration for her sex. She prom
ises to uphold her end of the fray.
This should be we'll worth seeing.
The rest Of the card includes Whisker
Adams, House OF David, VS.. Mickey
Mcclure, exponent Of the Irish whip.
The final event will be a "rastle royal"
between KLEIN Kusick, Eddy Myers and
Billy S~pendlove, three of the toughest
men in the mat game. The rules gov
erning this match provide that the first
man down is out; the remaining two to
wrestle the usual wo-out-of-three falls.

Strike Closes Mine OF
Anaconda Subsidiary

Anaconda Copper Mining Co.'S sub
sidiary, Green Cananea Copper Co., has
been forced to shut down its large
mine at Cananea, Sonora State, Mexico,
due to a strike.
1t is understood that the National
Labor Union which dominates the la
Dor situation in Mexico, submitted 20
demands to the Greene-Canane man
agement of which 10 were granted but
the remainder rejected as unreasonable.
AS a result 1000 men were called out
on strike.
Among the outstanding demands
made by the union we're: seven day
pay although Mexican law allows six
days Of labor a week, additional holi-
days annually, a so per cent wage in
crease for low bracket and 80 per
cent for high bracket employees and
an agreement allowing dismissal and
substitution of foremen, superinten-
dents, bosses, etc, by men agreeable TO
the union.
Anaconda officials state that shut
down will in no way effect Anaconda
operations or production,

UNIONS WANT
BUTTE BRICK

The loyalty of the trade unions to
home industry was demonstrated Tues
day night at the Trades and Labor Cou-
neil meeting in a discussion which
arose over the contemplated importa-
ton OF brick from Lewistown and other
cities to be used in the construction Of
the New High School.
After a thorough explanation in
which it was %divulged that the brick
manufacturing companies of Silver Bow
County were unable to produce the
type OF brick required in some parts
of the building, the opposition to i'm
ported material died down.
Another phase that should be
thought of by other communities is
that men employed in the brick yards of
Butte are organized, while in other
towns there is no organization, and
this condition exists in L.ewistown.
Part of the opposition arose from this
fact. A federal labor union which is
very easy to organize and which takes
care of a lot Of miscellaneous work
could easily be perfected in most Of
the towns in Montana so there really
need not be lack of organization even
the industry is small.

This Congress at present is absorbed
in the consideration OF three main is
The bonus, neutrality legislation
and the Townsend plan.
It is reliably reported that the Presi-
dent will veto the bonus, but it will
pass, no doubt, over his veto.
The possibility for strong neutrality
legislation is being inestiiuably en-
HANGED by the wonderful work Of Sena-
tor Nye in exposing the involvement of
in the World War by the loans
of the House of Morgan.
The Townsend plan, in connection
with security legislation, has received
great impetus since the last session OF
Congress. Last week a meeting was
held in Congressman McGroarty's Of
flee which was attended by DR.. Town
send and the % Congressman who have
signed the petition to bring the Nc
Groarty bill to a vote. At that meet
ing a Steering Committee of rs mem
bers was selected, each from a differ
ent state. As Chairman of the Com
mittee | shall call it together some time
his coming week to determine legisla-
tive strategy. 1t is our hope that we
may be able to again present the Town
send Plan as an amendment to some
bill if We can obtain permission from
the leadership. However, Mr.. Byrnes
and Mr.. Bankhead, the Majority
Leader, have declared that the Town
send Plan will not be permitted to come
to a vote at this session OF Congress.
II it is within the power Of the Steer
ing Committee, however, to bring this
matter to a record vote at this session
it will be done, despite the united front
of opposition hat has been presented
in the press and which has welded its
influence over the leadership of Con-
gress.

JACOBSON C0NFERS
WITH COMMITTEE

At last the representatives OF the
Trades and Labor Council have met
with Roy jacobson, regional member of
the Labor Relations Board.
A meeting between representatives
OF the Trades and Labor Council and
the General Laborers Union and Mr..
J Jacobson took place at the Finlen Hotel
recently and the whole controversy Of
the demands the unions regarding the
72c prevailing rate OF pay was gone
One OF the contentious of the union
delegates was that the survey made by
the Government in order to determine
the average rate Of pay in Silver Bow
County was based on a false founda-
ton when the days pay rate at the
mines was included in determining the
average rate, The fact that the rate
of re, which the unions are asking for
is now being paid by the Public Works
Administration in contracts governed
by that organization, lends weight and
justification to the stand of the un-
No definite decision was arrived
at by the conference, and the Cen
trail Labor body accepted the progress
made by the committee.

KrabIer and Love Agree
On Pay

]. B.. Love, State Director of the
Jational Youth Administration met with
a committee, representing the unions
and the business people, recently to
establish a rate Of pay for youths m
ployed under the National Youth Ad-
n.aistration.
Mr.. Titus Kurtichanov, who was
formerly professor of English at the
High School, is in charge OF the local
work with offices in the Silver Bow
Club Building. Mr.. Kurtichanov was
present. during the discussion.
As explained by the executives in
charge Of this program, the admins
tration is designed to place young men
and young women, between the ages
Of 10 and q years Of age to work,
particularly on %recreational and re-
search programs, to supplement the in
come of the household where the head
of the family is only earning the sec
urity wage Of the works projects.
Mr.. Love estimated that approximat-
ely two hundred young people could be
used. Their main duties will consist
of supervising Fairgrounds, ice Kinks,
and physical culture activities. The
rate Of pay established by the joint eff
forts Of the committee provides one
third Of the compensation paid by the
Works Project Administrator and one
third Of the time. In common labor
work under the National Youth Adj
ministration the pay received will be
per month for working time OF
rs l-3 hours and the skilled and pro-
fessional scale will be in proportion.

Musicians Condemn
the 19-Mile House

In your trip in search Of amusement
and recreation, you are cautioned to
avoid the Nineteen Mile House. The
Musicians Union has announced that
this place is unfair to their organiza-
ton and also the proprietor that runs
it, namely, Antoine Delmo.
The reason for this action by the
Musicians grew II OF the persistent
refusal Of Mr.. Demo to employ mem
bers Of the Musicians Union. Gener-
ally when proprietors of this type Of
refreshment resort refuse to patron
ize union help, it is for the sole purpose
of getting cheaper labor. This article
is a warning to all the people who pat
ronize this type Of institution that they
are only tearing down their own wage
structure.

LAUNDRY WORKERS
PLAN DANCE

The Butte Laundry Workers and
Dye Workers Union are making elab-
crate plans for their seventh annual
ball which is scheduled to be held at
Carpenters Union Hall, West Granite
Street, on Wednesday evening, Febru-
airy 10Th.
Arrangements have already been COM
pleted to obtain the services of Fred
Harvey and his band. The Laundry
Workers dance has long been regard
ed as one Of the most popular social
functions of the season. The prices
have been made reasonably low so
that members Of organized labor and
their friends and relatives may be able
to attend. The committee has estab-
lished a selling cost OF the tickets at
40c per couple, with a lOc charge for
extra lady.

Drivers Permits Con-
denlned by Unions

Much antagonism has developed over
the city ordinance requiring automo-
bile drivers to buy a city permit,
While the proposed action by the
Transfers Union Of testing the validity
of the charge has been s"idetracked,
other measures to take it place have
been proposed. One Of these propi-
sitions is to petition the City Coun-
Gil to abolish the tax, another one is
to permit an arrest to take place, have
the charge brought up in the Police
Court and then if lost, be appealed to
the District Court.
The Committee OF the Trades and
Labor Council which is handling this
situation was ordered to continue its
work by Mr.. Erler, President Of the
Council.

%lnfantile Paralysis
Found In the
Egyptian Mummies
only New Thing About IT.,
Says DIR. Leroy w. Hubbard,
as Name and Epidemic Pro-
portions Recently Reached"

New York-Only nationwide gem
crosby can remedy the plight of the
nations 100000 i~nfantile paralysis vic
Tins. Colonel Henry L. Dogherty,
chairman OF the National Committee
OF the Birthday Ball for the Presi-
dent, declared today.
Faced with this distressing situa-
ton" Colonel Doherty said, our hope
is that the funds raised by the third
Birthday Ball for the President jan
|uary 80, will exceed the $l,07l,0 600 rails
ed at the 1885 affair.
Inadequate Medical Facilities
Colonel Doherty pointed out that a
total OF $2,074,000 has been raised by
the Birthday Balls celebrating the Pre-
|sident's Sind and 53rd anniversaries.
But he added -
Despite this fresh financial ammuni-
ton to combat the scourge, the forty
seven hospitals, less than one for every
State in the union, were inundated in
a new torrent of alling humanity flow
ing through their doors from the scour-
age of 1885, when this dread disease ad-
ded approximately 10000 victims to its
rolls"
New York Situation.
Inadequacy of medical facilities is
demonstrated by the situation in New
York. Colonel Doherty said Here
in this, the greatest city in the world
there are between 5000 and 5000 in
fantile paralysis sufferers. And there
are only two therapeutic pools in the
city specifically designed for rehabilita-
ton OF polo cripples."
He c~onservatively estimates that the
national annual loss from the raw
ages Of the disease is at least $780,
100000 from incomes alone. And for
curative work each year it is esti-
mated that $6O,000,000 is needed.
Birthday Balls Help
ITO this end he declared, Give
thousand communities from coast to
coast, distinguished scientists and civ
c leaders already have pledged them
selves to make President Roosevelt's
fifty-fourth Birthday Ball an out-tands
ing success.
In many communities, with the funds
raised by the balls, more than twice
the number Of patients can be treat
ed than were treated with proceeds of
the 1885 ball. The handful OF hospitals
have a staggering burden to bear and
we must ease that load"

The Clerks Union have placed a fine
against Frank Larson who resides at

This action grew out of the refusal
OF Greigs Grocery, 1857 Harrison Ave.
