plants whose products go to outside
markets. Prices of commodities sold
to local consumers would have to be
tremendously increased to meet the
increased costs of operating all bus
inesses. Gamers, packers and pro-
cessors of all kinds working on
Montana raw materials would be
especially handicapped, and would
be forced to quit operations in this
state, it was declared.
Put MOntanans Out of Business
The seed and canning industry
was cited as specific instance.
Seed raised in the Treasure state is
sold to canneries all over the United
States and Canada in competition
with products of California, Idaho,
Washington, Utah and Oregon, where
no such drastic restrictions of work.
ing hours are in effect. Wages paid
in the Montana industry are the
highest in the United States. The
increase in cost of local production
that would result, from enactment of
the six-hour working day would
render competition with the other
states impossible and necessarily
would force the Montanans out of
business. The action would affect
growers and workers in the Gallatin
valley, at Stevensville, Hamilton,
Red Lodge, and other places.
So, too, with Montana's many
other natural resources which need
processing by industry and labor
before they are ready for market.
Wheat, sheep, wool, cattle, lumber,
ores and other raw products, were
cited as ON this list. The imposition
of six-hour day in their handling
and processing would make it i'm
possible ior Montana producers to
compete with others, despite the ex-
emption of the actual farming and
stock-raising operations from the
regulation.
Would Hit Every Individual
Nor is it only business and indus
try that would be deleteriously af-
fected. The proposed amendment is
so general in it's provisions that it
applies to all individuals, whether
or not they are employers. Seasonal
workers, such as employees in beet
fields, berry pickers, apple and
cherry packers, sheep shearers and
others, would come under the six
hour regulation. Hotels and res
taurants in the rural communities
where little help is employed, and
the country store and one man
roadside filling station would be
particularly affected. Professional
men-doctors, lawyers, clergymen-
would be limited to. six hours re-
gardless of circumstances that might
demand a longer period of service.
The amendment makes no provision
for emergencies and its prohibition
against working more than the fixed
number of hours would still hold
good even if life and property were
menaced in cases of sickness and
disaster.

Proposed Six-HourD Day
Is Menace to Montana
Regulation Would Stifle Local Industries, Force
Manufacturing Plants to Move, Make Impos-
sibIe Competition With Other States

BUTTE.-Representatives Of Mon"
tana business and industry, meeting
to consider the proposed constitu-
tional amendment that purports tt
make eight hours a days work ir
the state but which really opens the
way to a six-hour day, denounced
the measure as a grave menace
They pointed out that it is so dras-
tically drawn as to apply to every
business and, indeed, every citizen
with the sole exception of those en-
gagged in farming and stock-raising
Its effect, they declared, would be
to stifle Montana enterprises, both
in their local operation and in their
competition with other states.
Organizations represented at the
meeting included the Retail Mer-
chants association, Stockgrowers as
sociation, Woolgrowers association,
Dairy Products association, Drug
gists association, Mining association,
Contractors association, Wholesale
Grocers association, Hotel Mems as
sociation, Associated Industries, and
the Printing Industry. With other
groups that are equally concerned
they have undertaken a campaign
of information to acquaint Montana
people with the drastic regulation
and it's certain blighting effect upon
all local business and industry. They
declare the threat is so grave as to
demand the most serious consider
alton of every citizen.
Amendment Is All-Embracing
The proposed amendment, which
will be submitted to the electorate
on November 3, reads as follows:
Section A. A period of eight hours
shall constitute a days work in all
industries, occupations, undertakings
and employments, except farming
and stock-raising; provided, how
ever, that the Legislative Assembly
may by law reduce the number of
hours constituting ) days work
whenever in its opinion a reduction
will better promote the general well
fare, but it shall have no authority
W A1C4cotS II1S 14Cu41USE VI 41Ou4S
constituting a days work beyond
that herein provided"
On Record for Six Hours
Since nearly all major groups of
workers in the state are already
protected by eight-hour laws, either
as part of the constitution or by
statute, it was pointed out the OBJ
vious purpose of the amendment is
to reduce working hours below that
number. AS matter of fact, Pres
ident Graham of the state federation
Of labor, in letter to labor organi-
cations dated September 10, 1886,
openly stated that the six-hour day
is the goal Of the effort.
Should that regulation be imposed,
Montana would be the only state in
the Union with such a limitation.
Its industries would be placed under
an impossible handicap in competing
with those of other states, forcing
removal from here of manufacturing

heading "Independent." Monaghan
is United States representative il
congress at present and was de-
feated in the primary when he
sought the senatorial nomination
on the Democratic ticket.
The Democratic, Republican and
Socialist parties are the only ones
with candidates for the offices of
representatives in congress from
the two Montana districts.
! The Democrats nominated Jerry
j. O'Connell of Butte as their first
district candidate and James F.
i O'Connor of Livingston in the Sec
ond district. Republican candidates
are H. L. Hart of Helena in the
first district and T. S. Stockdal of
Billings in the second. Socialist
nominees for congressional seats
are Charles R. Schneider of White
fish in the first district and Bert
Chesner of Great Falls in the Sec
ond district.
Five parties have entered can
didates for governor. The nominees
are Roy E. Ayers of Lewistown,
Democrat; Frank A. Hazelbaker of
Dillon, Republican; David J. Ryan
of Great Falls, Union; J. P. Cavan-
augh of Whitefish, Socialist; Arvo
Frederickson of Butte, Communist.
The Democratic and Republican
parties were the only ones to NOM
mate complete national and state
tickets for the election in Montana.
The Union party has only one can
didate for state office, David Ryan
of Great Falls for governor, after
other nominees were rejected under
a state law that prohibits a defeat
ed primary candidate from rum
ming on another party ticket at the
next general election. Ryan was
not nominated at the party's con-
vention, however, but was placed
in the race by the Union executive
committee.
The Socialists seek seats in con-
gress and three state offices. The
Communist party, like the Union
group, has only one candidate for
state office-the governorship. The
Prohibition party concentrated all
its efforts on the president and vice
president and listed no other NOM
inees in this state.
The candidates for state offices
under governor are:
Lieutenant governor-Hugh r.
Adair of Helena (D), Howard A.
Johnson of Butte (R), Charles
Pyatt of Perma (Soc.).
Attorney general-Harrison j.
Freebourn of Butte (D), S. R. Foot

Today indicates a person with

persistence of purpose that will
go far to bring success in life.
But with this sometimes appears
a confused state of mind which
causes a wandering from the
right road. 1t may be from ig-

ness of thought. Good fortunes is
promised in working near home
