Statement By Pres.
Green on Organizing
the Steel Industry

Washington, d. Civilian Green,
president OF the American Federation
OF Labor, made the following statement
regarding the action Of the Committee
for Industrial Organization in its cam
paign Of organization in the steel in
dustry:
Because the Executive Council of
the American Federation Of Labor
fully appreciated the tremendous diff
f~iculties which would be encountered
and the powerful opposition which
would be met when a campaign OF or
ganization in the steel industry was
launched, it sought to unite and soil
dify the entire organized labor move
ment Of the country behind it."
Unity and solidarity were essential
requirements. This was the principle
embodied in the plan submitted by the
Executive Council to the officers and
members of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton Of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
recently. This plan Of the Executive
Council has now been thwarted thro-
ugh the acceptance Of the proposal
made by the Committee for Industrial
Organization"
THE officers OF the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers rejected the organizing plan
offered by the Executive Council, and
accepted the one proposed by the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization"
Under the terms Of the agreement
entered into, the Amalgamated Associ-
alton Of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
becomes subordinate to the Committee
for Industrial Organization. The or
ganizing campaign proposed will be
carried on by the Committee for In
dustrial Organization separate and
apart from the American Federation
of Labor"
For obvious reasons it will be inn
possible to unite and concentrate the
full and complete economic, financial
and organizing force of the American
Federation Of Labor in an immediate
steel organizing campaign drive.
1T has been quite evident for a long
time that those in charge of the adj
ministration of the affairs Of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
were determined to experiment in the
application Of their one form of or
g~anization which they had so definitely
espoused."
Having embarked upon an adven-
ture in which they plan to carry or
experimental organization work along
one line in the steel industry, all in
terested will have an opportunity IL
learn OF the virtue, validity and sue
cess Of said plan. All will await with
interest the final outcome OF this new
organization drive of the Committee
for Industrial Organization in the stee
manufacturing industry"

LABOR SHOULD BACK
PROGRESSIVE EDITOR

1t is a pleasure to publish the an
nouncement that John w. Nelson is
seeking public office. His proven hon
esty, his consistent stand in the in
terests of the people should assure vic
tory for him at the polls.
John w. Nelson, candidate for State
Treasurer, was born on the Yellow
stone river of pioneer Scandinavian
parents who crossed the plains with an
OK team. Educated in Montana and
dedicated to Montana's welfare. His
platform is clear and militant. 1t fol-
lows:
Chain banks and privilege seeking
corporations will receive no favors
from the State Treasurer's office; but
economy for the people will be the sole
policy. For too many years the cor
poration daily papers have awarded
this job to servants of the Copper
Clique. Men who betray the people in
the legislature are paid off by the Cop
per Racketeers with fat jobs at the ex-
pense of the humble taxpayer.

practice has been outlawed and des-
troyed along with other illegal rackets,

FARMERS Line UP
WITH UNIONISTS
Ask Members of Organized La
Dor and Friends to Request
Farmers Label.

The following communication has
been sent to all unions in Silver Bow
County
June 10th, 1886.
To All Butte Labor Unions:
We are addressing this communica-
ton to you in the hope of establishing
closer cooperation between Farmer and
Labor groups.
We represent jointly the largest
groups within the nation. The lack of
understanding between US has often
worked to the disadvantage of both.
That closer cooperation is taking place
is evidenced by the support in the last
Legislature of this state OF Labor leg
%islation by Farm groups and of Farm
legislation by Labor groups and by the
support Of prevailing union wage on
WPA projects by Farmers Union of
ficers at Washington. In Alabama
all Farmer Union members are instru-
cted to patronize no concern declared
unfair to Organized Labor and to buy
only goods bearing the Labor Union
label. Labor Union members likewise
patronize those stores carrying Farm
ers Union Trade Mark labels or brands.
We could cite many more cases of like
nature throughout the country.
As you perhaps know we are at
tempting to better our condition by
establishing cooperative marketing or
CARNATIONS throughout the country and
have been operating in this city for
about a year. The results are highly
encouraging. We have largely c%onfin-
ed ourselves to those products produc-
ed in the immediate vicinity Of Butte.
We are now %enlarging II activities
and working with other Farm groups
in other parts of Montana. This year
we contemplate marketing through re-
gular commercial channels here a COM
plete line of fruits and vegetables.
These will be sold strictly on grade.
We intend standing behind all produ-
ce sold. They will carry our brand
and will be packed in as good a con-
dition as it is possible to be done.
We are simply asking you to ask
for our produce at your local grocers
and insist on Farmers Union Fruits
and Produce. If you have any compla-
ints to make please notify US and We
will investigate.
To those unacquainted with farming
conditions especially in fruits and We
getables the truth as to what we re-
ceive for our daily toll is shocking.
OFTEN whole families have worked ali
entire season and after taxes, interest,
etc, are paid still owe money on their
operations, realizing not n cent as a
daily wage.
We are willing to support Labors de
mand for a living wage and We have
done so.
In closing, let us assure you OF our
willingness to cooperate with you in
any way possible.
F%raternally yours,
Signed:

WEIGH MAY PROVIDE
FORT PECK GRANITE

The Stone Cutters union OF Silver
Bow County is deeply interested in a
supply contract for which the United
States Government is calling for bids.
The contract is tremendous in scope
and specifies the furnishing Of two
million, two hundred ninety five thou
sand cubic yards of stone, 1t would
be something worth while to the peo-
pie of Silver Bow County and to the
Stone Cutters union if this rock, which
is to be used for r~iprapping at Fort
Peck, could be obtained from the qua
rries at WEIGH, just beyond Homestake
or at Elk Park. Conservatively it
should take several hundred men a
number OF years to get out and trans
port this vast volume Of granite.
According to Government documents
there are eight places in Montana
from which this rock can be obtain
ed, but a significant sentence may eli
inmate securing the rock in Montana
at all. This sentence states, This list
Of potential quarry sites does not re-
strict the bidder from submitting bids
on stone from localities other than
those mentioned on the list Then it
goes on to mention the specifications
and quality Of the rock.
The building Of the Fort Peck Dam
is strictly a Montana venture and it
is only reasonable that Montana pro
ducts should be used in its construc-
ton. That Montana can't furnish suit
able material for riprapping seems
absurd. 1t may be that neither the
quarry at WEIGH nor the quarry at
Elk Park is capable OF supplying all
the rock that is necessary, but it
should be able to supply most of it.
This proposition is Of inestimable
value to Silver Bow County. 1t means
additional railroad equipment and
crews. The Chamber OF Commerce
and the railroads themselves and other
civic bodies should bring all the pres
sure that is possible to bear to have
this rock secured from the two places
mentioned, and by all means we should
resist to the utmost any attempt of
either the Government or contractor to
secure the material from some other
state.
Bids for this work will be opened
July 9TH.

Science Plays Part
in Whisky Business

Tracing the development OF the dis

M. Doran, Executive Director Of the
Distilled Spirits Institute, Inc, disclos-
ed today in a pamphlet on THE Ele-
mentary Chemistry Of Whiskey Manu-
facture" that the modern distillery is
equipped to handle between 5000 and
10000 bushels Of grain daily in the
manufacture Of whiskey.
About one-third Of the whiskey
production today" he said, Us rye,
which derives its name from the fact
that the principal grain used is rye.
About two-thirds produced today is
Bourbon whiskey, made primarily from
corn"
Rum was the first potable spirit
distilled in North America during the
early days of the colonies" DR.. Dorar
added, "Whiskey came next in about
1900. We went along in a very crude
fashion until after the Civil War. Al
that time the Federal Government
commenced to raise a substantial rev
enue from the manufacture of spirits
The Congress imposed a very rigorous
system of statutes, and from that time
to this, with the exception of the era
OF Prohibition, there has been a very
steady and substantial development il
our industry, in which science hai
played its very important part"

spirits a year. We are using about Al
million bushels OF grain, and tina.

barrel item alone is 100000 barrels
and there is the glassware, etc. The
rebirth of this legal industry has beer
a most important economic factor il
bringing about the utilization of farm
products, additional employment, sti-
mulating the glass and cooperage in

tons everywhere. In fact, it is a mos

Williams then welcomed the union

scented President Graham with the
key to the city"
Gene Burris, w. P. A.. director ex-
planned the value Of w. P. A. to the
people Of the state. He made a splen-
did talk.
Governor Elmer Holt, who arrived a
little tardy at the gathering, was given
quite a hand when Mr.. DeNayer in
troduced him. He defended his atti-
tude and actions in regard to the use
OF alien labor in the sugar beet fields.
In referring to this condition, the
Chief Executive warned his audience
that Labor would probably have con-
demned him had he used the Militia
on the state borders. The Governor
applauded those men and women who
tried to keep off relief and then had
difficulty getting certified after they
had exhausted their means.
President Graham thanked all the
speakers and then appointed a ere
dental committee.
About one hundred delegates are in
attendance and from all appearances
this convention is going to be one of
the most enthusiastic in many years.
Billings hotels are crowded. The
Transfers State Organization just
held its meeting and several other
business and professional conventions
are in session.
