WORKERS STAGE
DEMONSTRATION
BILLINGS, MONT.

BILLINGS, Mont, Dec. 24.-(Spe-
cial)-For what may be another few
days, or few weeks, of a right to
live, the unemployed of Billings and
vicinity have again won out. After
between four and five hundred of
them had occupied and camped in
the WPA district office here for
three days and two nights, WPA of
ficials promised to restore all needy
cases to immediate work, without
regard to A, B or c classification
and with no distinction as to ace or
color.
The demonstration started three
days ago when the destitute clans
marched to the court house to i'm
plore the county commissioners for
immediate help. AS the crowd came
in the commissioners vacated by an
other exit. The ranks then marched
to the Chamber of Commerce build
ing and failing to get any sign of
help there went to the WPA offices
and pitched camp, on tables, under
benches, behind files-any place to
find room.
The demonstration was captained
by Mac A. Written, president of the
local Workers Alliance Unit. L. G.
DeMayer, District Director of the
WPA, and E. c. Burris, Assistant
State Director of WPA, represented
the federal administration. After
burning the wires to Helena and
Washington they were authorized to
promise employment to all. Hun
dreds of tired, sleepy and hungry
workers dispersed and returned to
their homes late this afternoon.

The constant fight of organized

STATE INSTITUTIONS
MUST COMPLY With
EIGHT HOUR LAWS

The Montana Labor News is in re-
ceipt of a communication from one
of the state institutions presumably
written by one of the inmates in
which it is charged that this particu-
lar department is violating the state
laws by employing its help 10 to IL
hours a day.
State Labor Commissioner, Mr..
Edward O'Byrne, first called atten-
ton to these violations of the laws
and the defense by the authorities
was that the Legislature had not ap-
propriated sufficient money to per-
NIT the necessary work to be done
under an 8 hour shift system. 1t
might be said then that the members
of the Legislature are violating the
laws themselves. Surely when the
members of the House and Senate
pass certain measures and provide
penalties for violations and then
don't make the necessary appropri-
ations to put the laws into effect, il
wouldn't take very great stretch of
the imagination to at least hold these
members indirectly responsible for
the violations.
The Montana Labor News has been
calling attention to these sad state
of affairs for some time past and the
special convention Of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor, held at Helena on
the 10Th and 10th, again bitterly as
sailed the practice.
Secretary of State, Sam Mitchell,
also has made public not only violaf
tons Of the law, but stated in an
address that in one particular insti-
tuition the inmates were held as vir-
tual prisoners. Montanans have often
prided themselves on their freedom
and looked with disdain on the chain
gangs of Florida and other states
Apparently these feelings have nc
basis in fact and they should scru-
tinize their own house more closely
The letter referred to above stated
that nurses and other help in that
particular institution work 10 anc
II hours, most of which is during the
night. Placing Montana's institu-
tons on an 8 hour basis is part Of
the Legislative program of the Mon
tana State Federation of Labor.
In a statement issued by the Mon
tana Tax Payers Association, the fact
was brought out that the new 8 houl
amendment to Montana's constitu-
ton added to the burden of state
costs, nevertheless revenue from
various sources is going to be more
in the following years than it has
been in the past. Even though this
weren't SO, there is no excuse for the
state of Montana chiseling on its own
laws and working its help more than
the statutes specify. Let it be hoped
that it will not be necessary for in
mates and employees of Montana's
public buildings to write any more
letters crying out against the injus-
tees that have been perpetrated in
the past.

that Mr.. Hodges attempt to Justify
