 In West Virginia, delegates fa- voring Landon won Is of the states 16 seats. The other one went to Carl G. Bachmann, one of Borah' $ national campaign managers.
 The popular vote went to Borah i; Landon was not entered in the pref erential primary. holding to the po- sition he has steadily maintained in entering no state primaries.
 In his series of addresses through out the winter, former President Herbert Hoover has dwelt princi- pally on detailed criticism of the New Deal
 This week, in Philadelphia, he turned his attention to the Repub- lican platform for 1886.
 Vigorously, Hoover called for a platform of Fighting Words" a PiooiOiAi oliOWiiiB q dCeCllDllldblOtl to restore American liberty and to revitalize American life"
 Rooseveltian policies, the former President said are forcing the na- tion into a collectivist desert"
 The Republican party, he said, should pledge itself to reverse the whole New Deal planned scarcity into an economy of plenty.
 The party would stand for a constantly wider diffusion of prop erty. We want a nation of proprie- tors, not state of collectivists."
 The weeks political news was not, however, all Republican.
 On trip through the West, in an address in North Dakota, Postmast- CT General Farley said the nation, next November, will insist the President shall have every oppor- tunity to complete the job.'
 Farley is we'll known for his poli- tical claims. Tn 1929, the results fulfilled his predictions. For 1886, he said Roosevelt would sweep all the states and would be given the greatest endorsement received by any of our chief executives since the birth of parties in this nation" :"

NEW YORK, as of week ending May 16.-(By Associated Press) = Once again on taxes, the President has given way before Congressional opposition.
 A year ago, it was the proposed inheritance taxes, with heavier rates. With revolt on Capitol Hill, the idea was abandoned The ex- isting methods were retained, with lighter increases.
 It is much the same today.
 The current wave of opposition developed rapidly in the Senate af- ter the House of Representatives, two weeks ago, passed the Admin istration's new tax bill which em- bodied the Presidents recommen- dation for a revision in the system of taxing corporations.
 The House bill repealed the ex- isting corporate income and excess profits taxes and substituted a sin gle levy on the undistributed prof it's of corporations. From the out set of the Senate Finance Com mittee's consideration of the House bill, the trouble for the Administra- tion started.
 The leadership of the opposition is Democratic and includes some of the staunchest New Deal sup porters.
 Tersely, the situation is this: These Senators do not oppose the philosophy of the new tax bill, the tax on undistributed profits. Like the White House, they feel share of such profits should be passed on to the stockholders. However, they do oppose the method; they oppose abolishing the existing methods for an untried plan.
 In the face of this opposition, the President informed Senator Harri- son, Chairman of the Finance com mittee, he would accept modifi- cation of the bill.
 To this end, the committee set forth to find a means of retaining the corporate income and excess profits taxes and still reach the un- distributed profits.
 The Administration stood firm, however, and won out on the infla- tionary Frazier-Lemke bill provid- ing for $3,00o, 100000 in farm mort gage refinancing.
 The bill was defeated in the House 235 to 142.
 Without the aid of 62 Republi- cans, the Administration would not have been able to turn back the in- flationists.
 The 142 proponents of the bill in- cluded: Democrats 105, Republicans 27, Progressives T and Farmer-La- borites 3.
 The elimination of the Frazier Lemke bill contributed little to the problem of clearing the way for ad- journment of Congress.
 June 6 is the deadline. Senator Robinson, the majority leader, serv- ed notice he would object to any measure tending to delay adjourn ment beyond this date.
 The principal must" measures the new tax bill and the relief ap- propriations-are still far from fi- nal enactment.
 In addition to these, Robinson listed three other things on the Administration must" program the Omnibus Flood Control meas ure, the Commodity Exchanges Regulatory Act and the ratifica- ton of the recently-negotiated Lon don Naval Pact.

TRADES AND LABOR
COUNCIL IS BUSY
WITH POLITICIANS

The greater part OF last Tuesdays
meeting OF the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil was taken up in entertaining and
being entertained by a number OF poll
t~icians, both men and women.
Harry Meyer made quite a spectacu-
lar and vehement talk concerning his
record since he has been a public Of
fetal. This eminent attorney reviewed
the times when he served in the Leg
i~slature in the Lower House and also
went very thoroughly into the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature when he served
as Senator OF Silver Bow County. At
the conclusion Of his remarks a COLO
guy occurred between Mr.. Meyer and
MI. Duncan owe a purported state
ment in the Montana Labor News re-
latiye to allegations that Mr.. Meyer
had not supported the Electrical In
spection bill. The record shows that
Senator Meyers did vote for the mea-
sure.

McCARROLL BEAUTY SHOP IN
DISREPUTE

The McCarroll Beauty Shop at 7 f.
Granite Street is still carrying on its
notorious and d~espicable practice Of
violating and chiseling on the BARRIERS
union. The conference was held recen-
tly by the Grievance Committee of the
Trades and Labor Council, members of
the BARRIERS union and the Butte Build
ing Trades Council, in an effort to come
to some joint understanding and basis
Of operations to put this place either
out OF business or compel them to con
form to the union rules.
The proprietress OF this joint is a
woman by the name Of Mrs. Jessie
Grefig, of 436 S. Wyoming St. Her
husband is a salesman for a large auto
mobile selling agency in Butte. The
unions, if necessary, will boycott the
sale of the cars of this place Of bus
mess if necessary, in order to gain
their ends in forcing the McCarroll
Shop to cease undermining BARRIERS
rules and wages. The Montana La
Dor News will print names Of people
who p%atronize this beauty shop and
give the names and numbers OF auto
mobiles which unload customers to the
door or take people out Of there.

GREAT FALLS TO BE
HOST TO FARMER
LABOR MEETING

An important meeting was held al
Billings Sunday and Monday, June
18th and 10Th, composed Of farmers,
representatives OF the Farmers unions,
representatives of the trade unions and
other liberal and progressive people.
Lavernt Hamilton Of Musselshell was
elected chairman of the resolutions
committee, which is always an impor-
tant post and Mrs. T. Odenwold, sec
rotary. The Montana State Fedora
ton of Labor, which had just adj
journed its annual convention had five
observers at the meeting, These men
were appointed by President Graham
the last day Of the Federation conven-
ton. Many prominent politicians and
others who are not seeking any po-
sitions under the government, were
present.
Mr.. H. B. Rolph, president OF the
Montana Farmers union called the
meeting to order and Mr.. John w.
Clark was appointed temporary secre-
tary. He was nominated by Jerome
Locke. Later on in the meeting Mr..
J.. J. Mcclure, state president OF the
w. P. U. at Miles City was elected per-
manent chairman. The position of
temporary secretary, held by Mr., Clark,
was made permanent On a motion by
c. G. Davis Of Forsyth. Mr.. Heller
bran, secretary of the Yellowstone
Trades and Labor Council was intro
duced during the first day. Mr.. S. E.
Moss, vice president OF the State
Townsend Clubs, made an address on
the second day Of the meeting.
One OF the interesting things taken
up in the conference in relation to or
ganized labor was a resolution which
was unanimously adopted, designed to
strengthen the boycott on the prod
ucts Of the Great Western Sugar Com
pany OF Billings. Another resolution
related to the Mooney and Billings
case. The conference went on record
as in favor Of releasing both Of these
men. A protest in the form Of a
resolution against the renewal OF the
AOHll at ~ liG NOIky MOuildlu OWCl
Company in relation to the Flathead
power site was submitted and a renew
al of such contract condemned.
The next convention of the Farmers
Labor Conference will be held in Great
Falls on July 18th and 18th, Floyd
Massey, who had been elected vice
chairman Of the meeting, in the discus
cussions under the head of Open
Forum, brought up the subject OF oc-
cupational disease measures. He de-
clared that a conservative Legislature
at Helena last year blocked legislation
designed to regulate these things

R0DEO AND RACE
PATRONS BEWARE
Organized Labor of Silver Bow
County Has Declared the
Dutch Tavern Unfair--Do Not
Patronize.

The Women's Protective Union have
tried time after time to get Mrs. Anna
c. Wills at the Dutch Tavern to con-
form to union rules and regulations but
she has persistently refused. Conse-
quently that union has asked the Cen
trail Labor Body to assist them in their
efforts to force this resort to pay the
union scale. Although the proprietress
OF this house is a former member OF the
Women's Protective Union and gladly
accepted the wages which the union had
secured for her, now when she be-
comes an employer of labor she tries
to chisel.
In the recent past the girls who were
employed at the Dutch Tavern had quit
their jobs because Mrs. Wills had re-
fused to abide by union conditions and
wages. It was reported that the Dutch
Tavern was paying the girls to work
there $500 a week, when the scale
demands $500 a day or $21.N a week
for a seven day week.
All members of organized labor, the
rodeo management, race track manage
ment and all visitors to Butte are ur-
gently requested to avoid patronizing
this house.

Butte's Parade SavOred
Of European Customs
Butte's Spectacular Fourth of Jeuly
Celebration is History Now

Butte's Spectacular Fourth of Jeuly
Celebration is History Now
But it will always remain fresh in
the memory OF thousands who witness
ed its novel and fantastic parades, the
fascinating pyrotechnic display and the
street dancing, which by the way re-
minds one Of the picturesque custom
which prevails in many Europeon coun-
tries OF folk dancing and frolicing down
the ancient crooked streets arrayed in
all manner of bizarre costumes. Many
TO these Europeon festivals have come
down through periods of time from
barbarian and religious o%bservances.
Neither are the people of this country
immune from these associations Of the
past.
Que feature Of the parade in relation
to the unions that didn't partake Of any
ancient character was the neat and
trim appearance of the Carpenters IN
ion in their uniforms. They made a
splendid showing.
So many historic and religious events
center around the Carpenters that it
seems particularly appropriate that this
section Of the parade should be com
bined with the more historical and my
biological parts. In many other sec
tions Of the parade the unions assist
ed by their color and numbers. The
Ladies Auxiliary Of the Miners Union
wore b%riilient and beautiful uniforms
The respondent copper colored caps
and blouses were typical Of the leading
industry of Butte and attracted specia.
attention. The ladies' drill team des-
erves credit for the representation they
gave to all the employees Of the min
ing industry. The Ladies Auxiliary OF
the Carpenters were represented with
float. The Plasters Union was also in
the parade.

COVEROR
STEWART PLAYED
into THE HANDS
OF CORPORATIONS

In this primary election it is impor-
tant that the people pay heed to the
methods employed to defeat their will.
Wiley politicians take great credit for
their skill in confusing the workers and
splitting their vote. How many work.
ers have been observant enough to de-
tect the manipulations going on in the
present primary, designed tt elect Sam
Stewart to the United States Senator
Sam Stewart is the former Governor
Of Montana, who sent the militia into
Butte for the purpose of crushing the
Miners Union and ~enslaving the work
ers Of this camp. He was Governor
three times and was always the plant
tool of the corporation. During his
terms the executive offices OF the state
of Montana were actually on the Sixth
Floor of the Hennessy building. In
those days the corporations held the
political machinery of Montana in an
iron grip. They dominated the whole
state, Judicial, Legislative and Ex-
e%cutive. 1t was a simple matter for
them to direct Governor Stewart to
send the militia into Butte with their
guns and military trapping to awe and
Cypress the workers. 1t was an easy
matter to flood the town with gunner
and detectives and destroy the Miners
organization and enable the corpora
tions to enslave the miners with a con-
tract system.
Since that period the exploitation Of
the Butte Miners has proceeded. With
the introduction OF machinery the en-
ployment OF miners has been curtailed
and under the contract system and
machine methods copper is produced
now at 80 per cent OF the cost Of
twenty years ago. The general re-
duction Of the earning power Of the
masses in this country has written a
sad story in the annals of this once
thriving camp, known as the greatest
mining camp on earth. During the in
tervening period the A. c. M. has
amassed millions in earnings. How are
these earnings distributed? Did the
workers get a fair share? No, indeed
They were paid out in fabulous sal
aries, bonuses and dividends to the Of
ficials. Did the miners get an even
break? These are questions to pom
der.
The miners have been gradually
slipping lower and lower in the scale
Of life. This in turn affects the mer-
chants and professional men of Butte
They miss the purchasing power OF the
workers. The workers are unable to
enjoy any Of the luxuries, much less
the necessities of life. Without we'll
paid workers how are the merchants
and professional men to exist? With
the rising costs Of living due to the
manipulations OF our monetary system
the miners are worse off today than
they were thirty-five years ago. In

Miners Union Engages
a Celebrated Speaker
for Thursday Night
Eric Hass, National Organizer
for the Socialist Labor Party,
to Speak Tonight on "Indus-
trial Unionism" at Miners
Union Hall.

THE burning question of industrial
unionism" is the subject to be discussed
by Eric Hass, national organizer for
the Socialist Labor party at the Miners
Union hall, 82K East Park Street, to-
night at 8 p. m. The Socialist Labor
party is known as the original expo
nent OF Socialist Industrial Unionism.
Hass, an ex-railway brakeman and
newspaper editor, is devoting his full
time to party work, He is returning to
the Pacific Coast from New York City,
where he attended a national convert
ton at which a national ticket was
nominated John w. Aiken, hardwood
finisher from Massachusetts, was
nominated presidential candidate and
Emil Teichert Of New York, railroad
worker, as vice presidential candidate.
A platform was adopted that pointed to
the d~ecaying status of the present sys-
TEN, scoring all attempts to patch it
up with reform measures 1t contains
a solemn warning to the working class
of America, stating that whatever a
social revolution is pending and for
whatever reason is not consummated,
reaction is the only alternative" Ger
many, Austria and Italy stand as hor-
rible examples of what replaces de-
mocracy when the workers are unpre-
pared to take and hold industry
through an industrial organization and
back up their political demand. The
platform further warns the workers TO
organize into a party Of their own
class, based upon a demand for the
unconditional surrender Of Capitalism.
Ii states that right without the might
to back it up is moonshine, and that
the industrial organization Of the work
ing class, based on the same revolu-
tionary principles, constitutes this
might.
In conclusion it points to the need
for an industrial union government to
replace the present outworn political
state.
The industrial union program of the
Socialist Labor Party will be outline by
Hass, and the sharp distinction be-
tween Industrial Unionism' advocated
by John L. Lewis and that advocated
by his party will be explained. Dues
tions from the floor will be answered
by the speaker.

SOUTH SIDE DEMOS
PLAN DELIGHTFUL
AFFAIR AT 9-MILE

If the efficiency with which the
South Side Democratic Club conducts
its affairs and if the aggressive spirit
which peryades their conduct in other
things is a criterion to act as a stand
ard, and it should be, then the picnic
which this club has scheduled for July
II at the Nine-Mile House should be
one of the outstanding social and
amusement events of the entire sum-
mer. A cursory examination Of the
schedule Of events planned for that
celebration gives one visions Of a day
replete with action and fun.
Besides the ordinary routine of a
picnic event, the committee has an
nounced that political candidates will
be introduced. This announcement
would seem to mean that there will be
political speeches unless it is the in
tention OF the club to limit the time
allowed each candidate. Naturally
some OF the politicians are going to re-
spond to the introduction and will take
delight in going entirely into their past
history and record. 1t should be a
happy day for aspirants for office and
undoubtedly these people will take ad-
vantage OF the opportunity offered by
this occasion to help swell the crowd.
There is one saving feature about
open air speaking, a spectator may
come and go as he pleases without at
tracing attention and should he get
tired listening to the %harangue, he may
seek diversion in other types of sports.
